Mr.. Buchanan and the 0Id-Line Wings!


G5-On last Saturday, week, Mr.. BucuAxAN was
in Bedford and, having stepped into the house OF
AIr. SCHELL for a short time, number Of persons
called in to take him by the hand. As he was about
to leave for the Springs, il remarked by Of
the company-.'Mr. Buchanan, will give you
an escort Mr.. RENsaAw and Mr.. WM. HARTLEY, two
old-Iine Wings who intend to vote for you under ex
isting Circumstances" Mr.. Buchanan Playl"Ily
said in repy-..l am-Yery much obliged TO yon, gen
temen; but don't know that | am under any spe-
cia obligations, as the compliment IS 10 the PRIN-
clrLE OF which am The mere agent, and not 10 ME-
This was the highest mark OF respect Mr.. b. could
have paid the intelligent gentlemen TO whom he was
speaking, conveying the idea that principles aud not
were the motives nov plopeilmg the actions OF
the oid-Iine Wings. An individual sitting at ad
joining door, happened TO ''orertems' few words
OF the conversation, and reported Mr.. Buchanan
having seriously declared in effect, that he did not
thank an old-line Wing 10 vote for him, aud the
sut OF This eaves-droppiug Is half column OF X. \.
trash to carry out the fabrication If Nj. Bucban-
ans remark could have conveyed such meaning, it
would have been deliberate insult 10 the gentle
men he addressed. Aud will any believe that
gentlemen OF the character and intelligence OF Mr.
Renshaw and Mr. Hartley would not have resented
the indi guity at by declining to take seat in
his carriage! The charge carriesits own refutation,
and its authors entitled TO the appclaon OF ten
cent men in every sense OF the tertnl
Cg~F0RD. a rank abotionlst from Ohio, made
speech in Bedford recently in favor OF FREMONT
and against FiLMORE-and whilst Fr. Jordan x
Co. profess to be tie friends of Fillmore, their organ
contains a lulsome article in coulmendation OF the
speech OF this Abotionist, which proves the
coalition between the fillmore leaders and the sup
porters OF FREMONT. Fillmore declared in pub
lie speech that the election Of Fremont would result
in dissolution ol the Union, and yet his prolessed
organ in Bedford appIauds the emissaries who are
sirolling tue country lecturng nehs behalf =
Do candid require any better evidence OF the
..bargaiH' than ths?
P. 5. My friends of the American party insisted
on putting me Chairman of their county commit
Tee; and such have been endeavorng 10 DO some
thing 10 bring about the deetat Of LocO FocoiSm'
am rot altogether that you act cordially with
the American party, but, not being very we'll
quainted in your township, | have ventured 10 put
you on the above named committee, believing
thing least be certain, and that that you
not support the Cincinnati platform, any one who
stands upon II. Your compliance with the request
itieal and personal favor. Hoping It may suit both
your notions Of duty and proprety, remain most
FIR. JORDAN.
Bedford, June 7, 1886,
C7~The above beautiful epistle was addressed by
FR. JorDAx to an old-iine whig in Bedford County
with the request that the said Wing would act as
member Of the secret X. n. Committee and aid the
Chairman thereof in ''5l1ngiug a5out tBs deteat Of
Loco Focoism." Francis barked up the wrong tree,
however, for the gentleman so addressed will not
only not aid him in this business but has declared
emphaticaly for Buchanan and Democracy, as thou
sands of other od-ne Wings are doing. The whig
thus addressed placed Mr.. Jorlan's printed Circular
and ryitten Postscript in the hands of friend with
permission to it ne proper, backed by the
declaration that there number Of Wings in his
Immediate neighborhood who determined 10 pur-
sue the same course. 1t will be that the Chair
mans professed love for the dear NATIVE and the
coLoRED man is only cloak TO induce honest Demo-
erats TO aid him in defeating party TO which they
ave always been attached. "FaIse Pfete,cs' OF no
worse character than this would JUG a man if en-
poycd in the business transactieas OF life. We ad-
wise Francis to be careful to whom he writes A
number of his secret Committee have already repu-
dated him and his contemptbe circular; and honest
freemen Will teach him that a 'psryonat favo.'' 10
Fr Jordan is poor consideration when contrasted
with their duty TO their country
RidicHIing The Germans.
