The Fredericksburg Recorder reviycs the recollection
Of very remarkable incident In 1850, so universal
the conviction OF Mr. Buchsnans fidelity to the constu
ton and high the appreciation in this State Of his
vices the South that the phgs Of fredericksburg in
public meeting, rendered him the compliment Of formal
expression Of their confidence and esteem The proceed
ups Of that meeting inserted in the Enquirer Of yes
teray but by msprnt reported to have occurred in
1856 instead Of 1880.
The wings of Fredericksburg not singular In their
appreciation OF Mr. Buchsnsn character and services Al
that day he regarded all the South the safest
the soundest and the most trustworthy Of all northern
statesmen 1t is not pretended that he has since done
any act or spoken any word which should forfeit this
exalted reputation On the contrary the malignant nge

to reproach him within the last thirty years Since 1880

grew tie middle measure providing that Congress should
interfere until the year 1908 with implication that
after that date they might prohibit the Importation OF
slaves into the States then existing and previous thereto
