Buchanan's Northern and Southern Fa

That this "piddling" flibustering old gentleman
has two faces, one for the North and another for
the South, no sane man can doubt who will only
open his eyes long enough to the facts as they
actually exist In the South lie is supported as
the special and snnointed champion of Southern
rights and interests-as even more Southern in his
principles and feelings than Southern men them
selves; while at the North, his election is urged
upon the almost sole ground of his never having
done or said anything which his most malignant
enemies could construe into even q remote W sh
on his part to be instrumental in upholding the
Institutions of the South. And yet the spurious,
humbugging Democracy of both sections profess
to stand upon exactly the same platform, and to
act in concert upon all public questions. That the
ignorant and unsophistcated should be deceived
by an assertion so bold and reckless is not to bs
wondered at But that intelligent, reading men
should be imposed upon by it. also, is q matter of
the deepest surprise to us. We lay their misfor-
tune to the blindness of party idolatry and zeal
1t can be attributed to nothing else.
To illustrate the double-facedness Of the Demo.
cratic candidate, and the fraudulent game which
his supporters, both North and South are diligently
practising upon the honest and coniding voters Of
the country, we select q couple of passages from
two Buchanan papers, one of which is published
in Mississippi and the other in Rhode Island. The
Southern face of the Cincinnati nominee Is, of
course, presented by his Southern organ and here
it is as painted by the Vicksburg Sentinel 1t
says:
"We 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 not the side Of the South, and
opposed to the Abolitionists."
very bold and beautiful front for the South
as all must admit. But let us see how his North
ern friends exhibit him to the Freesolers. Wha,
sort of face does he wear in that qusrterS The
Providence (R I.) Post, as xealous a Buchanan
organ as the Richmond Enquirer, introduces him
to a New England public thus:
Mr.. Buchanan never uttered sentence in de.
fence of slavery, or whispered a word in favor Of
it's existence, or cast vote which any honest man
could construe into wish to support the institu-
tion!"
There, then, is Old Bucks Northern front, as
portrayed by Jealous Northern advocate of his
election. How does ii harmonize with that which
his Southern supporters have presented Are not
the two as radically end essentially different as
black and white ? And yet both these Buchanan
organs profess to stand upon the same platform !;
to hold the same principles, and to be struggling
for the same objects Is it not equally clear that
one or the other is deceived? Is it not equally
clear that either the North or the South will Sc
obliged to be disappointed, in the event of Bu-
chanan's election And judging the future by the
past, will not the South be again the victim Of the
cheat?
Would that conservative, rejecting, patriotic
men would pause and consider before committing
their destinies and the destines of this great Re-
public to the keeping Of man who, as sure as
that the sun will rise tomorrow, will be but nose
