Mr.. Buchanan,s Acceptance.

Mr.. Buchanan in his reply TO the intmation OF his
having been made the nominee Of the Democratic
party FOR the next presidential term, says that he nc.
cepts the nomination with difidence but hopes II
he should be elected, that he would be enabled to
preserve peace and fnendship with foreign nations
He also expresses it as his opinion that slavery Is
rapidly approaching its finality.
We clip the above from o telegraphic dispatch to
the N. o. Picayune.
The Democratic candidate expresses his opinion
that slavery is rapidly approaching its fnality."
When we remember Mr.. Buchanan's slavery antece-
dents, and in view of the civil war now raging in
Kansas, we can put but one construction on that
!" opinion" He desires to see the South conquered
by aboltionists. Will Southern Democrats vote for
o man that is 30 adverse to their interests We
shall see.
Some one says of Mr.. Buchanan on his Southern
platform, that he looks like q man with his face
turned one way, while he is walking another.
South Carolina and the Democracy
We have already published some excerpts
from the South Carolina papers, expressing
chagrin and dissatisfaction at the defeat of Mr..
Pierce in the Cincinnati Convention. We add
this morning the following comment from the
Columbia Times democratic paper:
Mr.. Buchanan's antecedents are such that
we cannot give him support; nor do we believe
that the people Of South Carolina can be indu
ced to assist in placing him in the Presidential
chair. He is not only renegade from the
Whig party, a Tariff man, and Feceralist
but a Freeso,ler, haoing green his support to al
most euery Northern movement to circumscri6e tn
area covered By the Institution Of Slavery. TX
Al ,holo of l. he NJ nd
vocate of State Rights, and we doubt not he vii
90 farther than any of his predecessors,J elected
to consolidate the government. South Carolin
cannot consistently support Mr.. Buchanan. Hi
nom inaton is rebuke to Mr.. Pierce and hi
adm inistration.
The Charleston Mercury of the 10th inst ais
, finds fault with the platform, though il is wi
7 ling to accept the nominee, because it believe
him to be too conservative to carry 1t out, if elet
: ed. 1t says:
a While accepting the nominations made
e the democratic party, we cannot yield our asser
/ to some of the propositions embraced in tn
: pl atform. The Democratic party indeed wou
I have done well if it had redeemed its sorm'
' pledges before entering into new ones. Ar
IS were it not that these last were in conformii
It with that wild and lawless spirit which seen
8 destined to sweep over the county, and ther,
l. fore more likely to be fulfilled, We might col
If sole ourselves with past experience of DEM
r cratic faith We shall, indeed be content
Is the new pledges share but part of the old; an
5 in fact, our confidence in the moderation Of IL
le Buchanan's character gerry much relieves the an
Is iety that would otherwise be excited by the e
y IRENE propositions adopted by the Convent,
y at Cine innati. We hare reason to beliere til
u they wIl be nugatory IN fact and therefore on
I'd rorthy of protest as to the principles.
s. The Mercury then discusses the Monroe dc
trine, which, it says, as now interpreted, sis
of pure fgurcment of political demagogues and
hbusters;" and very distinctly intimates that t
ne Cincinnati resolutions are supremely ridiculo'
