once James Buchanan has consented
to be the pack horse 10 carry the crushing
load of sin aud folly of the presen, pro.
slavery administration. in the presiden.
tiaI contest, the following article, from
one Of Mr. Buchanan's own town papers
may not be uninteres,ins; as it shows, in
part, the kind of stuff he is made cf:
Mr.. BUcHANANs MEMOIR.
The Lancaster Register thus roughly
riddles the memoir Of this gentleman, re.
Gently published by the Pennsylvania:
la the lntelhgencer of the l4th inst.
We fiud copied from the Pennsylvania
very imperfect memoir Of this distin.
guished Pennsylvania, to which we beg
leave to add a few scraps of history,
omitted no doubt by mistake or ignorance
OF the fact. We shall confne ourselves
at this time 10 a few extracts from Ne
meir and make such remarks and quo
talions from the records as truth demands.
The memoir says:
Mr.. Buchanan is in the sixty-fif,h
year of his age, and in the vigor OF
health, intellectually and physically.
In 1852, Mr.. Buchanan, in a letter TO
citizens OF Bradford county, put in the
plea that he was too cid to make them a
speech. More than sixty years. and
asked for 'an honorable dscharger How
unklnd 10 force him into the esidential
harness.
Again
HE was horn in the county Of Frank
lin, in the State Of Pennsylvania, of hon.
es, and industrious parents, aud may ,ru.
ly be called the architect Of his own for
tunes. Having received good educa-
tion, he stu led the profession OF the law
IN tie county of Lancaster in the same
State, which has ever since been his
home. In 1914 and 1915 he was elect
ed TO the state Legislature, where he
distinguished himself by those exhibitions
of intellect which gave promise OF future
eminence.'
So he was elected 70 the Legislature,
but why mol state y uhom! We will sup
ply the record lor 1915:
ASSEMBLY.

Again
In 1920, James Buchanan vas elected

On the ith Of July, 1915, Mr.. Buehan-
an, when he was candidate for Assem-
bly, on the Federal ticket, delivered an
grafton in Lancaster, IN which be show
ed his love Of Federalism and hatred OF
Democracy, by attacking the Administra-
ton Of James Madison.
He said:
Time will not allow me to enumerate
all the other evils and wicked projects OF
the Democratic Administration
And again, in the same ora,ion, he
said,
What must be our opinion of an oppo-
sition whose passions were SO dark and
malignant as 10 be satisfied IN endeayor-
ing to blast the character and embi,ter the
old age of Washington After thus per-
scouting the saviour of his country, hoD
dare the Democratic party cali themselves
his disciples!
Again
In confidential circular, got up by
the Federalists OF Lancaster, dated June
8, 1923, to secure the election oil Mr..
Gregg, for Governor, over the Demo-
cratic candidate, Mr.. Shullz, Mr. Buchan-
an said:
Mr.. Gregg, although not Federal
ist, has always been considered an en-
lightened politician.
He acted a leading part in The admin
istralion OF Gen. Heis,er, and deserves
much Of the credit 10 which it is entitled.
