OH BOTH SIDES.

The Vicksburg, Mississippi, Sentinel, q
strong Buchanan paper, says:
awe DARE and DEFY any one to point to a
SINGLE VOTE that Mr.. Buchanan ever gave
during his Congressional career, involving the
question of SLAVERY, that was not ON THE
SIDE OF THE SOUTH, and opposed to the
Aboltionists.'
That is the way they electioneer for Bucha-
nan in the South. Now, let us give a sample
of the way the thing is done at the North
The Providence, Rhode Island, Post, also a
strong Buchanan paper, says:
ssMr. Buchanan NEVER UTTERED A WORD IN
DE FENCE OF SLAVERY, or whispered word
in favor of Its existence, or CAST VOTE which
any honest man could CONSTRUE into wish
to SUPPORT THE INSTITUTION ~
Now, where does Mr.. Buchanan stand on
this question: Or, is he on both sides7 Why
not He was FederaliSt, then a Democrat
a free trade man, then a tariff MANN favor
of Congressional power over Slavery in the
Territories, and then in favor of 'Esquatter''
power Why may he not be even slavery
propagandist in Mississippi, and an Abolition
ist in Rhode Island or Pennsylvania That is
the way Locofocoism seeks to cheat the peo-
pie of the North into the support of Buchanan.

NATURAL HISTORY OF THE BUCK.

Francis P. Blair, of Maryland, in letter to
his neighbors, speaking of the Bucks head
and horns, which the Buchanan men recently
raised above the American flag, near his resi-
dence, gives this skctc: of the natural history
of the animal =
ssOf all animals the deer is the most timid,
and although the head OF the buck is, at one
season of the year, armed with multitude of
| points as sharp spears, it never oorfronts an
enemy that it can escape with flying feet
| The grand antiers are the mere emblem of
warlike prowess, and evidence only of that
species of gallantry that distinguishes the
stag, and gives to q class of gentry of our spe-
! cies, the name of bucks, young or old.
The old Buck is sort of old bachelor, like
his fellow of the woods, addicted to no mate,
and whose insignia of horns have, time out of
mind, been held to characterize his pursuits.
! Is this an ensign to be exalted above that of
the country, and chosen to exemplify the vir-
tues of one who aspires to the Chief hagistra-
cy? If the crowning virtue be attributed to
the coronet which distinguishes the old bucks
head and which now takes the place OF the lib
erty cap on Democratic banners, it should be
remembered that it is a virtue that comes and
goes with the seasons. An old bucks honors
| begin to bud and grow in the spring time
| they are in the velvet in June, and through
out the summer. This smooth covering is
slipped off in October. In November, their
vitality is bighted, and in March, the crown
of weather beaten antlers drop from the old
bucks brow, and he hides. droops in solitude,
abandoned by all his fellows. The hunters of
the Alleghanies and of our frontiers will ap-
ply this piece Of natural history, and interpret
its augury.''
