Wrong ls to be wlnked at Tyranny is 20 tri-
umph as much under n Buchanan as
Pierce. They are Dough. faces, both; Sham
Democrats, both enemies Of Freedom,
both; and true men of every party name
will resist them to the last. Such are the
signs already We will quote only from
sources which will indicate the temper OF
those whose favor to Buchanan was probao-
ly hoped for.

whom voted for Pierce, snd many Of whom.

cant in influence aud power The Boston
Journal Of June 9, says.
1t has often been said that if Mr. Du.
chanan should be nominated for the Pres
idency he would secure the support Of the
conservative Wings. The time has gone
by when this could be prcdIcated. Mr. Blu
chanau Inns aheuated the support Of this
large class by hs Undertaking approval Of

Of the present policy Of the administration

gardcd as q patriotic and conservative States
man, bat as a pro-sayery radical Many of
the conservative Wings may have little sym
palhy with the efforts which are making by
the Repub leans 10 secure freedom for the
territories, but few or none Of them are pre-
pared 20 approve and endorse the repeal Of
the Missouri compact and TO sanction the doc
trlue of the popular sovereignty They can
not be brought TO vote for candidate who
is pledged 10 follow 10 the footsteps Of Gen
Pierce. Recent events have strengthened
that feeling M favor of effective action 10
behalf of freedom which always existed IN
the Wing patty, and Whatever might have
been thought of the tendency Of many con
scrvatvc Wings three months ago, we know
OF not one of any prominence who will now
upport Mr. Buchanan. One of the most
significant signs of the times les The fact that
