Mr.. f. F. Blair, who, as editor OF the
Globe. welded the battle axe of Gen.
Jackson's administration, as We have here
tofore stated, Published letter on the Goth |
of April last, which furnishes additional
evidence of Mr.. Buchanan's procliyity to
bargaining. twill be recollected that the |
Globe, after the election of Mr.. Polk, was
purchased and the name changed to the
Union. 1t appears from the letter Of Mr..
Blair, that the money to make the pur-
chase was drawn from the o. S. Treasury,
for that purpose, at the instance of Mr..
Buchanan, before the expiration of the adj
ministrationof Mr. Tyler. Mr. Blair says
"Mr Buchanan, it appears from letter on
file in the Treasury Department, was not al
lowed TO escape bis part of The responsibility
for the most delicate part ofthe operation
the taking the $4,000 to establish an organ.
Mr.. Tyler was willing to let Mr.. Cameron
have the $50, 600 out of the public Treasury to
make provision, for the political bantling on
which so much depended; bit as Mr.. Buchan-
an acds to become special beneficiary IN the
Ds
ton that he should, an toriting, recommend Mr..
Cameron as fit recipient Of this grace from
The administration and Of trust from the
Treasury" EF
The confidence thus reposed in Mr.. Came
ron all around, and the hOldit gave him on
Mr.. Buchanan, elevated him to the Senate of
the United States. Possibly the $50, 900 helped
as he only advanced out of it the first intal-
ment for the Globe, as appeared from his tes-
timony before q committee"
This is an important development We
have heretofore called attention to it, and
asked an explanation of the very serious
imputation which is made upon the integ-
rity of Mr. Buchanan. Is it true that fifty
thousand dollars were taken from the treas
ury of the United States, upon his recon-
mendation, for the purpose of establishing
party organ for the Polk, administration?
The grave charge has been before the pub
lie since April last, and as yet Mr.. Buch-
anan has made no denial of it. Is so Sc
rious matter to be allowed to pass un-
noticed by him? We hope not. He owes
it to the country, not less than to his friends
if he is not guilty, as alleged, to furnish ev-
idence of the fact. Standing in the posi-
tion he does, seeking the highest Office
within the gift of the people, it seems to
US that he should be swift to respond to a
charge affecting his uprightnesS and honor.
If he regards the public money, as Mr..
Blair's allegation indicates, as means to
build up party, it is important that the
people should know it that they may not
bindly place him where he can have free
access to the public parse.
1t appears from Gen. Jackson's letter to
Major Lewis that Mr.. Buchanan made to
the General a proposition which he regard
ed as deep corruption proposition
being no less than the suggestion of bar
gain with Mr. Clay and his friends 1t was
from this that the charge of bargain, in
trigue and corruption upon Mr.. Clay arose.
This is the initial bargain of the whilom
federalist, and corrupter one has not
been conceived by any politician since. But,
as we showed last Saturday, Mr.. Buchan-
an in lS45 went into Mr.. Folks Cabinet by
making a bargain of some sort In let
ter furnished the Union and american by
Andrew Jackson jr., the sentinel at the
tomb, of Gen. jackson, mention is made
of Mr.. Folks expected Cabinet, and the
writer says he and Mr.. Blair think IL
doubtful aohether Mr.. Buchanan ,cM accept
UPON THE TERMS PROPOSED, (he should not be
appointed unless he does. p As he did accept,
we presume he did so upon the terms pro-
posed" What this bargain No. 2 was we
should like to know.
The extract above from Mr.. BIair's let
ter shows that Mr.. Buchanan, to get office,
was party to another bargain, which we
shall class No 3. Says Mr.. Blair
"Mr. Tyler was willing to let Mr.. Cameron
have the $50, 900 Out Of the public treasury
to make provision for the political bantling
on which so much depended; bHt,1 as Mr..
BUCHANAN acas to became SPECIAL BENEF1cI-
AIRY IN the premiership, Il acas considered
t0ise precaHtiOn that he should, an lUriting, re-
commend Mr.. Cameron as a fiji recipient of
this grace from the administration, and of
trust from the IfeaSuryp If Gen. Jackson
regarded the first bargain of Mr.. Buchanan
as deep corruption" how would he have
stigmatized bargain No 3? He had al
ready denounced Mr.. Cameron as rene
gade, Bankrupt in politics." and We sus-
pect he would have manifested patriots
burning indignation at the idea of the CO.
operation of a bankrupt renegade" and
man guilty of deep corruption" to get
money from the public treasury to estab-
lish newspaper These affairs, unexplain-
ed, exhibit Mr.. Buchanan to the country
in no enviable attitude. They throw a
shadow upon the bright record which his
partisan friends claim for him; and as he
values the good opinion Of his countrymen
AS he prizes the jewel reputation-he
should take steps to clear away all the
miSts which have settled around him.
