chanal is. And, TO sustain this preposterous asser-
tion his firm and patriotic administration of the gov
eminent in trying times is ignored and garbled
extracts from letters and speeches written and deS
vered eighteen or twenty years ago brought Tor

For our part we shall go into argument to prove
the soundness Of Willard Fillmore Southern and all
other constitutional questions likely to arise during
the next four years His Presidential record IS SUI
ficent for u.s. and st is not sufficient for the sonth
sern people, the endorsements of it yam angel from
Heaven pould not cure them of the mental blindness
with which they are afflicted.
But as the Southern Buchanan journals iterate and
reiterate that he is as much of a Southern man as
HE warmest Southern heart could desre-that he is
the antipodes of Fillmore all points where those
rights are involved-we have concluded to take them
up at their own game, and by quoting from unques-
tonabIe authorities demonstrate who and what their
candidate really is.
The New. Hampshire Patriot-the home organ Of
President Pierce by the wayis one of the strongest
advocates Mr.. Buchanan has in the New England
States. Not loag ago, Northern religious journal
stated that Mr.. Buchanan wls favorable to the ex
tension of slavery.' This aroused the ire Of the
Patriot to white heat It fairly boiled over with in
dgnation and repealed the charge with an emphasis
and a ferceness we have rarely seen paralleed. As
it is quite evident the New Hampshire Patriot-the |
confidential exponent of the views of the present
executiye-knows as much of the antecedents, posi-
ton and opinions of Mr.. Buchanan on the slavery
question: as the New Orleans Courier any other of
his Southern supporters we suboin portion Of its
response to the assertion without further preliminary

4 We now bring Mr. Buchanan himself on the wit
ness stand ,and quote from speech delivered by him
4 when very important event was pending. sThe
Congressional Globe part II, volume 10, of the APP
pendix, contains speech Of Mr. Buchanan (said the
,f fha oIr
Of Texas delivered in secret session June s. 1874,
which as an item of history is not without interest at
this time.''s
This was before the meeting of the Cincinnati Con-
venton, and the Starwas strongly in favor of the
nomination of President Pierce. We mention this SO
that there may be no misrepresentation.
Remarked the Star in continuation Of what is com
prised within quotation marks above: at is right
and proper that the political record of Mr. Buchanan
4 and that of every candidate for the nomination at
Cincinnati should be examined before the meeting of
the Convention rather than afterwards when should
the record prove objectionable there is opportunity
E to correct what may be perhaps fatal error. The
only portion of the speech which is at present of in
terest is that which relates to the question of slavery
This subject is first mentioned in the following eX.
