The third reason given by Governor Wise in his
Richmond ratification speech-we have heretofore
disposed of the first two ressons-why Buchanan
was nominated by the Cincinnati Convention, and
why that nomination ought to be ratified BY the
people, is, "because it was the safest, soundest,
"most SANITARY and conservative movement which
"could have been made in reference to the cond-
"tion of the country" That condition OF the
"country" which called SO loudly for, and
which gives such sanction to Mr.. Buchansns
nomination is explained by Governor Wise to
be the double danger to which We now stand ex-
posed of internal conflict aud of foreign war.
"By ftud and faction" says Gov. Wise, "the
"whOe nation is internally tOIh-fanatieism and
" sectiODssm sre dstractiDg the people and di-
"yidjDg them from each other in moody srpara-
hon Of societiea, States and churches" This
unfortunate state Of things, according to our inge
NOUS Governor, arises entirely from disregard of
the advice of WashiDgtons Farewell Address not
to draw "sectional geographical lines" The
Missouri Compromise line was, according to Gov.
Wise, exactly such sectional geographical line,
and the recent repeal of the restrictions imposed by
it on the spread of Slavery is but return to the
principles Of Washington's Farewell Address!
That "seciionsl geographical line having been
thus disposed of, Mr.. Buchanau-when he is
elected President" will revert to the Constitu-
"tion as the only just compromise, allow no more
" sectional lines to be drawn, and fight, If he must
against destroying State equality in the Terrific.
" ries. He has the standpoint, the position, from
(which he may surely and safely pursue this pol
icy and to this policy be and his powerful State
" of Pennsylvania are committed Upon this he
was nominated, and when he is elected, and an
I" other non-slavehOlding President from the great
Z" tier of the Middle States shall have confirmed
Z" the doctrine Of the late Messages Of Franklin
Pierce from the extreme North, then we may
regard the doctrine and the practice as settled
aud sanctioned, and the South may feel safe and
the North be content to abide by the Constitu.
" tiOn ss it is that is to say as interpreted By
Messrs. Pierce and Buchanan in the light of Gov.
Wses new exposition OF WashiDgton's Farewell
Address.
Such is the programme of what is expected to
be accomplished by the benign influence Of Mr..
Buchanan in case of his election-the Iuicting of
the Missouri Compromise, by the complete triumph
of the slave. breeders the removal of all legislative
restraint upon the spread of Slavery aud the total
silelee ard subsection OF the entire North. Mr..
Buchanan il 10 be elected for the purpose Of in
dorsirg and forever settling as the constitutional
law of the country, "the doctrines of the late"
Kansas messages of Franklin Pierce" The On.
tire territories Of the United Ststes-,hose we nov
have and those we may hereafter acquire-are
q remain open to the influx Of slayedriyer aud
slave.traders, and though Governor Wise does
! ot 80 state in express terms, he seems evi-
dently 10 hint ii by his reference to Mr. Bu.
chaDai's position and TO his committsls and
those of the State of Pennsy lvana, to still fur
,her extension of the slaveholding sovereignty.
II is not to be expected tina. the shareholders will
be satisfied with the present Territories, for il,
cordpg 10 Governor Wise's new Interpretation of
Wasbipston's Farewell Address, the line Of the
Missouri Compromise ought to be considered SEC
tionsl geographical line and therefore to be abol
i,hed, for the same reason Mason and Dixon's
line and its continuation by the Ohio, the line Of
separation between the Free States aud the Slave
States, ought also TO be considered a sectional
geographical line. and ought also to be abolished
PenDsy lvsris, too, with all the States north and
west of it, must as well be opened to the free in.
press and egress Of slavetruders aud shareholders;
hpd doubtless Gov. Wise reliss upon Pennsy lvsnia,
with Judge Ksre to interpret the Constitution for
her and Mr.. Buchanan in the Presidential chair to
tad of in this new surrender and humiliation.
