The Bedford gazette. [volume] (Bedford, Pa.) 1805-current, 1856-07-25

with the statement OF Mr.. Bucianan's next neigh
bors in Lancaster city that hsy aeesr hsard 81 ft
until Mr.. B. was candidate for Congress the last
time. Is il mol amazing that an expression likely
TO arresi universal attention sSond be noticed by
body but Anthony McGlinn7 Is il not most mys-
terious and wonderful fact that snch sentiment,
publicly spoken in the hearing OF hundreds, should
have been kept profound secret from all but Antho-
ny Mctihnn for fifteen or twenty yearsa But the
mystery will be cleared away from the mind Of
the reader when we tell him that Anthony Me
t;linn was man Of incorporate habits, without
standing or character-one OF those poor tools that
knave, often make Of at pincb--a mere Pig
Beqttg pquigioons who could be got TO sign any
Thing that written for him.
This is absolutely all the evidence there is the
subject. There is not in he country who viii
no; feel his Indignation reused when he sees man
like James Buchanan traduced upon such grounds
II must be plain 10 all that he IS thus assailed
merely because he is the chosen champion Of the the
Constitution aud the trusted leader Of It's friends.
Well may the Democracy be proud Of their candi-
date. His character public and private, is impreg-
nabIe. His erernies 90 back 10 his earliest youth
Tor matter OF accusation, and even then they have
nothing TO sustain their charges except the state
ments OF periured thief and characlerles inebri-
ate.
Several OF the undersigned have known Mr.. Buch-
since he FIRST 10 Lancaster TO study
law with The late James Hopkins and the Others for
many years past. We are all convinced that it a
pubic meeting at the courthouse, anywhere else
this city, he had used such expression,
anything like il, ttat which has been attributed
him by MIR. Cox in The Comvenfion-to wit-S'ihat
he thanked bis God be had not drop OF Democratic
blooa his veins, aud H he had he would lett out'
some OF would have heard il, aud aH OF as would
have heard OF II. and il must have become subject OF
general conversation throughout Lancaster. 10 the
best Of our knowledge il never vas mentioned BY
any person until the year lS2S, Immediately before
Mr.. Buchanan last election 10 Congress, on the
Democratic Jackson ticket. As tins election nrme-
dately preceded General Jackson's first election To
the Presidency, On November, lS2S) and NIL
Buchanan had been for several years previously his
ardent and active supporter he then opposed WITH
mach zeal and bitterness.
Ever since first heard this story, referred bacl
as II did 10 1915 we have always believed and still
believe, that It got up without any loundatiol
IN fact, for the purpose OF operating against Mr. B,-
chanan's election 10 Congress in 1928. Indeed, W /
have never Supposed That any person acquainted WIN
hS character could believe that at any period OF lie
he would have made such declaration seems /
10 be seriously Imputed 10 him. /
