WHERE Mr. BUCHANAN STANDs.-Presi-
dent Pierce, in a late speech, says of the
nomination of Mr.. Buchanan:
81 congratulate you that your choice
has failed upon man who stands on the
IDENTICAL PLATFORM THAT
OCCUPY, and that be will take the
SAME with the standard lowered never
an inch!'
Stephen Arnold Douglas in his late
New York speech, said:
buchanan and myself fhave for several
years back, ever since came into public
life, HELD THE SAME POSITION on
the slavery question from beginning to
end.
Now hear what Buchanan says:
81 have been placed on PLATFORM
OF WHICH I HEARTILY APPROVE,
and must square my conduct by that
platform

The last number of the Salem Reau5H-
can says: "We are informed by the
managers that every preparation is being
made for the accommodation of stock,
and convenience of those attending the
exhibition. Stabling has been fitted up
on the grounds for the accommodation of
horses intended for exhibition, and a
boarding tent is erected for the accomnlo-
dation of those who wish to take their
meals upon the grounds.
We recently paid visit to the grounds,
and were pleased to find them in the best
order we have ever seen them before
The track is perfectly hard and smooth,
and we anticipate some rare sport upon
it during the exhibition. We are
informed by the Secretary that quite a
number of horses are already entered in
the several classes Of trotting and pacing,
as well as in other departments. Among
the trotting stations already entered, are
the celebrated Grey Eagle formerly Of
Kentucky, and the swift footed Yer
mont Boy who received the premium in
this class at the last exhibition.
The managers have also offered liberal
premiums for Female Equestrianism, and
the ladies of Columbiana, Mahoning and
Trumbull counties challenge the States
to beat them in feats of equestrianism on
that occasion. This feature will add
much to the interest of the exhibition, and
is of itself sufficient inducement to secure
the attendance of every admirer of horse
sOonaanship and the accomplished eques-
trienne.'
Salem is 147 miles east of Upper San
dusky, on the Pittsburgh, Fl. Wayne &
Chicago Railroad. It is easy of access
from all north. Ohio, and no doubt
there will be large attendance from this
part Of the State.

More Important Accessions.

Hon. Thomas F. Marshall, the brilliant
and witty orator of Kentucky, has de-
clared for Fremont and Dayton.
Hon. Thomas Ewing, of Ohio, has also
declared his preference for the Republi
can nominees. His son, Thomas Ewing,
Jr., made stirring speech for Fremont
at Indianapolis a few nights since. Ac-
cording to the Journal of that place ''it
was delivered in calm, steady, argumen-
tatiye manner, and showed that the old

Buchanan in favor of Rifing the Mails

Buchanan in favor of Rif1ing the Mails.
It may not be generally known that
when Mr.. Buchanan was in the Senate,
he voted for bill to authorize Southern
Post Masters to search the mail-bags for
anti-slavery documents, and destroy any
which might be found.
The following extract from the jour
nal of the Senate will explain the matter ::
Wednesday,, June 8th, 1886. On
motion Of Mr.. Calhoun, the bill to pre-
vent tie circulation of incendiary publ
cations touching the subject Of slavery, }
in the mail was taken up on its third read
ing.
The bill was lost on its passage by the
following vote:
YEAs-Messrs. Black, Brown, BUCH-
ANAN, Calhoun, Cuthbert. Grundy,
King, Of Ala, King, of Ca, Mangum,
Moore, Nicholas, Porter, Preston, Rives,
Robinson, Tallma6ge, Walker, Wright,
White--l9.
NAYS Messrs. BENTON, CLAY,
Crittenden, Davis, Ewing, of ILL.,, Ewing,
of'Ohio., Goldsborough, Hendricks, Hub
bard, Kent, Knight, Mexican, Lee, Nor
ris, Naudain. Niles, Prentiss, Ruggles,
Shepley, Southard. Swift, Upton, Tom
linson, Wall, Webster-25.
It will be seen that Mr.. Buchanan was
truer to the South than many leading
Southern men, such as Clay, Benton,
Crittenden, and others. The bill was de,
feated, but no thanks to Buchanan. A
tyranny as odious as that it sought to es-
tablish, would not be tolerated in Austria.

SITS, and warm advocate of the dissolu.
tion of the Union, takes strong ground
against the Republican party. 1t recent
ly published in it's leading article, an ex-
tract of letter from clear sighted
Abolitlonist in Massachusetts," who says:
The success of the Republicans will,
in its benumbing and satisfying influence,
retard the movements for the slaves re-
demption.'
Parker Pillsbury, prominent disun-
ianist, in speech at birmingham, Mass,
on the 4th of July, declared his prefer
ence for the election of Buchanan, "be-
cause it would tend to promote and influ-
ence the Anti-Slavery agitation, while
that of Fremont would tend to cessation
of it,"
On the same day, Wendell Phillips, a
leading advocate of disunion, also made
speech, in which, in reviewing the cha,
racter, chances, and principles of the sew,
eral Presidential candidates, comes to
the conclusion that it will best suit the
objects of his party to have the Demo
Gratis succeed. He goes on to say:
"Now I have great hopes-I think
Fremont will be defeated-I think there
is great chance that Buchanan will be
elected"
These extracts are sufficient to show
that the Northern as well as the South.
ern disunionists, desire the election oil
Buchanan. It is perfectly natural thai
such a feeling of sympathy should exist
between them. The Toombses, the Yu-
lees, and and the Stantons of the South
would make the Union subservient to
their vile schemes for extending human
bondage. The Garrisons and Phillipses
of the North, though opposed to slavery
believe that it'can only be wiped out il
blood, and hence they would precipitate
crisis which would result in dissolu
ton Of the Union, and. as they believe, the
overthrow of slavery in the States.
Midway between these factions, stands
the Republican party, which plants itsel
upon the Constitution, opposing the ex.
tension of slavery into the Territories, OF
Eany interference with it in the States
and declaring all the time hat "THI
UNION MUST AND SHALL BE PRESERVED"

set on fire. The assailants finally retired,
carrying off cannon belonging to the
town.
Later reports state that seventeen Free,

One hundred United States troops oc-
cupied the town next day.
