The Victory II the e1ss essssrs.
Master Buch- nan will sooa be placed IN

south has new : grasp upon the Democrat
lie party and upon James Buchanan, which
is will never loosen while life remains
The Secessioaists claim Buchanan and his
perry aslheir own. for they we're the men
who frightened Northern doaahfaces into the
support OF Bachsnan. These rampant, are-

weak-stcmachec Northern men with their

cry, harrassing his every wakeful moment
and making his sleep, like Mscbeth's, liv

But Office alone will not DO Who is h

Secessionis,s have their hold upon him.
They have been guilty of an open conspir

not dare run the author Of the present ella

who sustained the repeal of the Missouri
Compromise. 1t took Buchanan to escap

they are but barely successful, aud SO in,
power with the actual condemnation of tn

Let them gather fruits from their. victory,
they can. All the fruits they can Gull, vii
turn to ashes on their lips.
The great principle advanced and sustain

of Northern doughfaces under the contro
Of the South, shall crown il with victory.
