ANOTHER SELECTION

On the 18th day of April, 1926, James
Buchanan, of Pennsylvania, the champion
of Southern rights (! y who received the
unanimous nomination of the Cincinnati
Convention for the Presidency, said as fol-
lows:
"Permit me here, Mr.. Chairman, for moment
TO speak upon subject, to which have never be-
fore sdVerted upon this hoor and to which, trust
j may never again have have occasion TO advert
mean the subject Of slavery. BELIEVE IT TO
BE A GREAT POLITICAL, AND GREAT
MORAL EVIL. THANK GOD, MY LOT HAS
BEEN CAST IN STATE WHERE 1T DOES
NOT EXIST. IT HAS BEEN
CURSE ENTAILED UPON Us BY THAT NATION WHICH
MAKES 1T SUBJECT or REPKoACH TO OUR IEsTITU
TIOSs."
lSee Gales Seaton's Register of Debates, page
e,lSo, vol. 2, part 3.
The above speech was made in the House
of Representatives. Entertaining the SEN
timent that slavery is great political and
a great moral c0il, and CURSE" upon our
country, it is not surprising that in 1919
and in 1874, he opposed its extension into
new Territories. Verify, the record of Old
Buck is the richest political diggings" that

rhe hard and SOFT Democracy.

These factions have not shown as yet any
very decided inclination to unite their organi-
cations. The HaTds feel that they obtained
the vantage ground at Cincinnati, and are in
clined to maintain it. If State ticket is run
by each faction this fall the Hards will be able
to prove themselves, by the standard which
the SOfts urged at Cincinnati, numerical
strength, the Democratic party of New York.
The Soft shell portion of the delegation from
this State outraged the wishes of their consti-
tuents. when they voted first for PIERCE, and
then for DOUGLAS; and such bare faced, though
perfectly characteristic treachery, will dissolve
the Soft Shell faction. A goodly number will
seek associations more in accordance with the
principles they professed in 1S4S and seek to
preserve their places by afiliating with the
Hards.
The Hards see the strength of their position,
and nothing bnt the most abject submission on
the part of the Softs,-a complete abandonment
of all their pretensions to regularity" &c.,
can prevent two Democratic State tickets this
Fall If the Softs take either horn of the d.
lemma, they are annihilated, and their time
serving leaders, without principles, or any but
base purposes will, fortunately for the State
and country at large, sink into oblivion.-N

mr. Ruehanan,s Popularity.

Boasts are now made of Mr.. Buchanan's
great popularity. They are a part of the
policy of the leaders, intended to encourage
the lukewarm aud comfort the broken
hearted. The fact is, however, Mr.. Blu
chanan is a stranger TO popularity. lie
has nothing in his nature TO attract men TO
him. He is rather repulsive than other
wise. lie was the very last man, the dem
ocratic leaders here wanted. They knew
him. They were well aware that he was
unpopular, and the most difficult Of all the
aspirants TO defend successfully. They
can't manufacture popularity for hia, no
how. They will be compelled to bght the
battle on the strength Of the party.
Nashville daily patriot. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1855-1857, 1856-06-20


Previous to the nomination of Mr.. Bu-
chanan, the home organ of Douglas, at
Chicago, in a series of articles, assailed the
distinguished Pennsylvania with great
bitterness. The Chicago Democrat, edited
by Hon. John Wentworth, announces the
fact that these articles a0ere poritten by Mr..
Douglas, and that a part of the original
manuscript of one of them will be placed in
Mr.. Buchanan's hands. This disclosure is
rather diScreditable to Mr. Douglas. We
shall hunt up some Of these articles and lay
them before the readers of the Patriot.
Nearly all of the facts from Mr. Buchan-
ans record, which the American press are
using against him, have been furnished by
leading Democrats. The Lancaster reso-
lutions of 1919 against the extension of
slavery into new territories were obtained
by Mr. Fuller, of Pa, from the columns of
the leading Democratic press in his district.
We republished them as found in letter of
Charles Irving, Esq, Democratic eIector for
the Lynchburg (Va.) district; and from
the same source we got his vote against
Mr. Calhoun's resolution to suppress slavery
agitation in its worst form.
1t was the Washington Star, Pierce
organ, that first reproduced his Texas an
nexation speech in which be, in 1914, de-
clared his "repugnance by any act of his to
extend the limits of the Union over a new
saveholding territory" and approved the
treaty on the ground that it would "Limit, !"
instead of enlarge the dominion of slavery"
that it would make free States of Vir-
GINA, Maryland, Kentucky, Missouri, and
probably other States!
Having furnished these weapons of offense
to the American party, democrats must not
complain of their effective use in cutting
Mr.. Buchanan down. If they were good
reasons to prevent his nomination as a
party candidate, they are better reasons to
prevent his election as the president of the
United States.

Putting on too much weight.

Mr. Douglas made a speech at the DEM
ocratic ratification meeting in New York
on the evening of the l1th inst. He rep
resented Mr.. Buchanan as standing on the
Douglas platform. This the New York
Sun can't stand. 1t is putting too much
weight on the Old Bucks back. He can't
walk under it. Here is the way the Sun
discourses on the subject:
In bis speech in the Park on Wednesday
evening Senator DOUGLAS presented Mr.. BU-
oHANAN as standing upon his DOUGLAs,) plat
form. This platform is understood to embrace
the enforcement Of the outrage Of the mock cleo
nOns IN Kan8dS-tO justify the actions ct Ms
sourians IN crossing the riCer for the purpose,
and the sole purpose Of tdmpering 10tth the bal
LOt-6orsS, and then enforcing uPon actual set
tiers IN Kansas LaCS and rulers an the making
Of u1ich they had neither part nor lot. We
do not believe Mr.. BUCHANAN will thank his
officious friend for placing him upon any such
platform as that We do not believe that he
or any other man would be willing to present
himself TO the people as entertaining senti-
ments so utterly mean and contemplate. we
do not believe that even Senator DOUGLAS
dares to avow distinctly and plainly such a
creed and such principles And yet he must
know that he is considered as the representa-
tive and very embodiment of them, aud that
unless he casts them off while there is yet time
to do so, all the blackness and infamy which
attaches to such unholy conduct will stick to
his skirts aud go with him to the grave.
Mr. BUCHANAN and the Democratic party
profess a belief in the supremacy of popular
sovereignty legtimstely and fairly expressed,
and TO look upon that principle as rising above
and beyond Missouri compromises, even. How
then can they uphold outrage and violence
done to this very cardinal doctrinel Go 20,
Mr.. DOUGLAS! Purge yourself before the world
of such unmanly and un-Democratic senti-
ments, or abstain from your endeavors to Tx
them upon the party with which you are con
nected, and Upon the man selected as It's stand
ard bearer. You do more injury o the cause
in behalf of which you seem to labor, every
day that passes without contradiction or re-
cantation of such a platform, than could be
done by all the "Free-Soilersn in whole year.
II You have any real love for your party, cease
to burden it with the reproach which your
speeches cause, or have the manliness TO give
practical evidence that you can respect the
principle of popular sovereignty, on which
you have harped so often the past two years.
We commend the above extract to the
attention of our neighbor Of the Union and
american 1t partakes largely of the tone
of the Black Republican press; and no
maternal tabby ever pounced upon the timid
mouse with greater zest than he does upon
the slightest indication of coincidence of
sentiment between Americans and the hor-
rid pagan negro worshippersl We shall ex-
pect him to deprive the Sun of its power to
give light, or to do something else with it
evincing equal Indignation.

The New Orleans RiOts--WhO is Re"
SpOnSibIee

The n. O. Crescent of the 18th inst, in
an article repelling the infamous charge of
the Courier, that the Americans of New
Orleans are responsible for the crimes COM
mitted at the recent elections, says:
The boot is on the other leg" Democrats
tried to perpetrate fraud-dd create Disturbances
and did endeavOr to assassinate peaceaDe and IN
offending Americans! In every csse-so far as our
knowledge Embellishments, or rufhans IN ths'
pay of Democrats, were the first to draw the weaP-
ons of death.
Truth is al-powerful and must prevail Every
scene of blood that occurred on the I'd of June was
caused by the attempted assassination" OF Amer
leans by Democrats, or persons claiming to be
Democrats Here is great, indisputable fact,
and we call upon our readers TO consider 1t well.
Nashville daily patriot. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1855-1857, 1856-06-20

these democratic leaders and presses
avail themselves of collisions, the in
eYitable result of their own teachings, and
policy, and before the facts connected with
them can be correctly ascertained, laying
all the blame upon Americans, and holding
them up as natural consequences Of the
American organization, betrays the illib-
eral and unmanly spirit that governs them.
Such language as that from the Union and
american which we have placed at the head
of this article, and indeed the whole piece
from which it is extracted, is calculated,
whether SO intended or not, to stir up i'll
blood, and to arouse bitter and malignant
feelings in the breasts of Americans and
their opponents, foreign and native alike
Its gross injustice can have no other effect
upon an American who has spark of spirit
or a heart of flesh. The fact that it comes
from the organ of the democratic party,
must give it weight in impressing the al
ready too apprehensive minds of foreigners
and their native allies. What good end IS
expected to be subserved by the use of
language so we'll calculated to provoke re-
sentiment, and to embitter political contro-
versy, amongst neighborS and friends
whose respect for themselves and for socie-
ty incline them to paths of peace. Ameri-
canism has chad firm fOothold" in this
city for near two years. No scenes of dis
order, of violence or blood-shed, have char
acterized its contests. 1t has been peace
full under great wrongs and injustice. 1t
has borne contumeliouS denunciation, and
vindictive aspersions with singular good
humor, preferring to let the example of its
moderation defend it against all such as
saults. The fact that it has done so, proves
that our contemporary, plume himself
though he may upon the accuracy of his
statement of facts upon his personal re-
sponsibility," is as apt as others to see things
with jaundiced eye; and is not more re-
liable than other poor mortaIS. When
men without sufficient justification pour out
such weak sluices of invective as that which
the Union and american has dealt in touch
ing disturbances of the Buchanan ratiica.
ton meeting, there must be some exciting
cause they are unwilling or ashamed to
avow. We hope the modification conse'
quent upon that tame and spiritlesS response
to the action of the Cincinnati Convention
is not the bull that has gOred our cOntem
porary to the hollow, and despoiled him o.
his good temper. He ought not to let sucl
things veX him. They acM occur; he is
likely to experience them frequently before
chill November makes him deeply, darby
beautifully blue" and the best course he
can pursue is to keep stiff upper lip
and make the most of them.

Now there were ninety thousand votes less in this
State last fall than we're cast in the Presidential
election Of 1852. What number can Mr. Buchanan
draw from this outside force which did not vote at
all last fall? We must consider that the whole
strength Of the foreign vote OF the State was un-
doubtedly out az the last election: Then il is not
reasonable TO suppose any portion OF the nom voting
80, 600 had any sympathy with the Republicans"
Nor could they have sympathised with either faction
ofthe Democratic Party, for If they bad they would
have helped them out in that trying time, when
they were struggling for the prestige Of organizA
ton, and for future existence. The truth proba.
is that large share OF that ninety thousand are
American mechanics and working men, who are not
much given to politics but whose real sympathies
are for the American Party. But none Of them sup
posed that the American Party stood any chance Of
success last fall; and then many were kept aWay
from the party by old prejudice against secret
soceties-unjust in this case certainly-but never
theless effective.
Now that all this objection is removed and the
party is 10 power in the State il is not unreasOna
suppose that they viii cast their where their

Are we not safe in saying thar, if these American
craftsmen follow their natural sympaihies, two

James Buchanan, the Father of Squat
ter Sovereignty.

ter Sovereignty.
The doctrine of Squatter Sovereignty de-
nounced by the Union and american as
unconstitutional and odiOus," owes its
parentage to James Buchanan, the old fed
eral nominee of the Cincinnati convention.
AS proof of this, we adduce high democrat
ic authority, the present head Of the Blu
chanan electoral ticket in Alabama, Hon.
w. L. Yancey. In a pamphlet published
in 184S, in justification of his refusal to sup
port Gen. Cass, the democratic candidate
for the Presidency, on account Of his heret-
ical opinions on the rights of shareholders
in the Territories, he takes occasion to re-
view the positions of all the Northern aSpi-
rants to that nomination among them Mr..
Buchanan.
On the 18th page of his pamphlet, he
quotes from a letter of Buchanan, dated
Aug. "a, IS47, and arrives at the follow
ing conclusion
ITO Mr.. Buchanan, therefore, is due the credit
OF FIRST giving the go bye to the Wilmot ProvisO,
a means of excluding the shareholders from our new
Territories but at the same time, of pointing out TO
the North how much more effectually the great end
of the provsost-he Keeping of these Territories
exclusively for The settlement Of Northern emigrdnts
could lee obtained by advocating the new doc
trne, that the inhabitants of Territory, wliie
get IN its territorial state, could prevent the engrd-
tiOn hithsr Of shareholders"
According to Mr.. Yancey then, this in
genious and plausible substitute for the
Wimot Proyiso is a scntillation from the
astute intellect of the master political in-
triguer of the country, James Buchanan.
With freesoilism fostering in his heart, as
his famous Lancaster resolutions, and bis
significant remarks on the Texas treaty Suf
ficiently prove, he felt the necessity to con-
ceal them in his attempts to make South
ern popularity, and forthwith his fertile
brain matches the new heresy-a doctrine
more dangerous to the South than the
Wilmot Proviso, because more practicable.
This is the man put forth by the party
which claims to be the peculiar friends and
guardians of Southern interests, as its can
didate for the Presidency. Is it possible
that sensible, rejecting men are to be duped
and betrayed into his support Will South
ern people consent to trust him under hOl
low and deceitful acquiescence in the Gin
cinnati platform-itself document framed
for the purpose of deceiying? Will they
after examining his record, and reading
this exposure by distinguished Southern
member of his own party, still obey the in
exorable mandate Of party-drill, and do VIC
lence TO their good sense by voting for him ?
With what consistency can the Union and
American and Mr. Yancey support him +!
