in favor Of squatter sovereignty. This

that Mr.. Buchanan was the first man to

But we have no disposition to pursue

The vile ISLANDERS which have been heaped

lis traduccrs strikes US as something re
markable. He is opposed for being a
Federalist BY those who have always
maintained the policy of that party. He
is accused Of desire to reduce the price
of labor in this country to level with the
paupers Of Europe, BY tie party that has
been striving in vain for years, to foist
upon this country huge manufacturing
