Judge Story and Chancellor Kent ex-
pressed similar views, and we presume
these three distinguished jurists are at
least equal to one demagogue seeking Office.
Mr.. Green ignored Buchanan's antece-
dents, and said the platform upon which he
no,o stood WINS the only test Of his sound
ness. That platform is varied, and broad
enough TO hold every shade and hue, from
Soule, Cuba and Fillibusterism, to Martin
Van Buren,, free Kansas, and no more slave
States. These interests, and persons, are
upon it, working for Buchanan, and we are
happy TO observe they are working conser-
vative union men off Of it, who are ralIying
around Fillmore and Donelson. He had
Mr.. Fillmore's platform before him, but
looked behind it, discanted upon his antece-
dents, md read letter, the genuineness Of
which has been disputed, but which, if true,
is better than the antecedents of Buchanan,
who was nominated by the free soil influ-
ence Of the Cincinnati Convention. as Mr..
Green well knows, and as his uniform vote
from first to last against Buchanan proves.
He and the South voted seventeen times
against Buchanan, and only went for him
when the North forced him upon them.
Mr.. Green said the American platform
ignored the slavery question. That plat
form takes the exact view Of the question
that the Kansas bill does. We doubt the
genuineness Of the American platform that
Mr.. Green reads from. Many American
papers do not publish the platform as final
y adopted but as first recommended. The
18th, and last section Of the platform, 10
which his attention is called, Is as follows:
Therefore, to remedy existing evils, and
prevent the disastrous consequences otherwise
resulting therefrom, we would build up tile "A
mercah party upon the principles herein before
stated, s'che,rng all sectional question: and unit
ing upon those purely national, aud admitting in
to said party all American citizens, preferred to
in the Sd, 4th, and 9Th scctions,) who openly
avow the principles and opinion, heretofore ex-
pressed, and who will subscribe their names to
this platform. ' 'i7s'-H
Mr.. Fillmore, as does his. plaiforms es-
cheus all sectional questions, and goes for
those purely national, as he expressed him
self at Albany. .-. ~.
But we must dismiss Mr.. Green, for the
present thanking him for declining relation
ship with US, as we have no doubt his fami-
ly is sufficiently taxed with black sheep and
dirty noses to keep them washing and wip-
ing during their natural lives. By-the-way,
however, he entirely forgot TO answer the

haps, Internationally overlooked it,

Dr.. Mcdowell, Of St. Louis, who was on
u visit 10 his children in Brunswick, &C.
cepted an invitation 10 speak in reply TO Mr..
Green. Mr.. Green, at Brunswick, offered
to divide his time with DR.. Mcdowell, it he
would agree TO make Mr.. Lindley respon-
sible for everything he said. and further
agree to go with him, in the canvass, from
day to day; this the Doctor declined, Of
course, and al Brunswick Mr.. Green spoke
five hours, and the Doctor replied at night.
At Keytesville, the same game was played,
and the Doctor again spoke at night. He
therefore determined TO ask no favors at
this place, and desired his friends TO ask
none. Mr.. Green, perhaps aware Of this,
mode proposition TO divide his time, but
DR.. Mcdowell not being present, he pro-
ceeded, as he said, "wi,h looseness. p
DR.. Mcdowell, as soon as Mr.. Green had
concluded, commenced speaking, just across
the street from where Mr.. Green had spo-
ken. He spoke short time there, and
again after supper. Pens, ink and type,
convey 70 just idea of one of his speeches.
