Mr.. Buchana.,. Loyalty to the South.

The Richmond Enquirer of June Goth,
thus sums up the services which, Mr.. Bu-
chanan, in his long public career, has rem
dered to the cause of slavery.
cit is refreshing to contemplate the quiet
dignity and patriotic spirit which character
lied Mr.. Buchanan's career in Congress-
Not for one instant, never on single propo-
sition was he found in company with the
abolitionists. He neither originated nor
supported measures of aggression upon the
South, but in every emergency zealously de-
Tended the legal and political rights Of
slavery. So consistently did he adhere to
the Constitution, that we challenge the Wing
to cite single instance Of clear and un-
equivocal struggle between slavery and
aboltionism, in which Mr.. Buchanan did not
espouse the interests of the South. lie
never strove to impair the legal guarantees
of slavery. He never neglected ain opportu-
nifty ofrebuking the spirit and opposing the
designs of sectional agitation. 1t is true he
did not 60 the entire length of MIR. Calhoun's
famous resolutions; and neither did Mr.
Clay. Mr.. Buchanan went as far in theil
support as any other Northern Senator; sc
far, indeed, as to advance beyond the popular
sentiment of the Northern States. On every
particular issue in dispute tetween slavery
and abolitionism, Mr.. Buchanan took the
side of the South"

Fremont's Chances.

The Washington correspondent of the N.
Y. Herald says, under date of the 10Th inst,
that "the nomination of Col. Fremont is
variously considered, many imagining that
he will sweep the country. Some of the
California Buchanan politicians are forced in
to the admission that he was good sight
for that State. Inquiries are frequent, with
in the last twenty-four hours, to know what
State north Of Mason and Dixon's line can
be relied upon as sure for Buchanan. The
South has one hundred and twenty votes
and supp sing that Buchanan should get
every Southern State-which he can't do
he will still want, to elect him, an additional
twenty-nine votes. Pennsylvania, if secured
for him, which is now doubtful, will give him
twenty-seven out of the twenty nine, leaving
a balance, as necessary to his election, of two
votes. Delaware must come out of the es
innate of the Southern States that are tC
cast their votes for Buchanan, which will
make the odds against him greater than
above suggested"
