Mr.. Buchanan . Black R.pus,,e.n.

The Eaquirer Of yesterday, preiacing its attempt
to draw parallel between Mr. Fillmore and Fremont
with the sweeping declaration that "whoever con
demns the repeal Of the Missouri RESTRICTION mat
ter what hisprofesionS is practically Black Rcpub-
ican, proceeds, with the sort OF logic by which
the sophist endeavored to prove n horse a COW, TO
show, doubtless to its own great satisfaction, that
Fillmore occupies the same position with Fremont.
Fremont and the Black Republicans condemn the
repeal Of the Missouri restriction Mr. Fillmore, &C
cording to Mr.. Kennedy" says the Enquirer, "was
averse to the repeal of the Missouri restriction ergo
he is equally a Black Republican. Now, if being
averse to the repeal Of the Missouri Compromise
the ground that it gave peace and quiet to the coun
try which is all that be charged against Mr.. Fill
more under any circumstances, makes man Black
Republican, with how much more reason, may we
charge him with being Black Republican of the
deepest dye, who promulgates sentiments identical
with those now entertained by the leaders Of the
Black Republican factionr We have recently seen

resolutions, reported by James Buchanan to pub

members of Congress- who that session, ined the
of justice, humanity, and patriotism in opposing
the introduction Of slavery in the State then endeavoed
be- formed OF the Missouri Territory, entitled to
the warmest thanks Of every friend Of HUME nifty"
We have also the Democratic authority for
saying: "These resolutions prove that Mr. Buchanan,
at that time, was a Missouri restrctonist and that
he occupied, upon the admission Of Missouri, the
same ground occupied now in regard to Kansas by

We see il stated that Prince John Van Buren, is
about to marry young lady recently returned from
Europe-the only child of q wealthy Senator of South
Carolina, lately deceased. He will thus it is said,
become large Shareholder. Is that the secret OF
the Princes significant silence the disturbing Sec
toaal issues of the day: No doubt oft. Nor shall
be at All surprised to find the acetious and
versatile Prince one Of the most rampant Southern
Rights men in all the land. The prospect of own
ing number Of darkies is perfect for the NAL
ady of Abolition. The Prince, all know, is smart
and unprncipled. What effect this rumored ALI
ance will have upon the result of the coming cleo
tons We are not prepared yet to determine. No
doubt il will be very great.
