lutions OF 1919, alluded to by Mr. FULLER, until
they were printed He contended that Mr.. Bu-
chanans recent course perfectly sound on the
slavery question, and that he had declared in his
speech in Philadelphia, on the Compromise bill,
that by that bill the Missouri Compromise was
psrseded
He called attention to the fact that of all the
Northern States, there bad been none more con-
sylvania had uniformly sustained Mr.. Bucha nan,
to whom she was more indebted than to any other
man for her adoption of this position.
Mr.. JONES requested the Clerk to read the
resolutions of the recent Pennsylvania Democratic
Convention which nominated Mr.. Buchanan for
the Presidency.
These resolutions, Mr. JONES contended, were
perfectly sound and satisfactory. (south Carolina

Mr.. FULLER proceeded He would not will
lingy DO Mr.. Buchanan any Injustice. The first
he saw of these resolutions Was in 1862, IN the
Democratic organ of Northern Pennsylvania for
sixteen years, f ON which he read an extract
charging Mr. Buchanan with being the author Of
4 fha nf and tha nr ui fnr of al
the Abolition excitement from that day.
He stated that Mr. Buchanan was undoubtedly
the favorte of Pennsylvania He was also Ia
yorite with the Republicans, and they talked OF
nominating him for the Presidency.
Mr. FULLER then read from Mr.. Buchanan's
Fourth of July Grafton at lancaster, in 1915 on
the subject of foreign influence, and remarked, that
if he would stand up to that doctrine he would have
strong claim for the vote of the American party.
Indeed, he did not see why he should not draw a
large vote from all parties. Laughter.
