in the Free States are very ehary Of eivinl
their readers any extracts from such papers
as the Richmond Enquirer. We soPy the
above paragraph for their benefit. and wish
them 10 bear in mind, that in the language
nf the leading Buchanan paper IN the eouh'

than The Northern laborers- Translated
into plain English, that is the meaning o
the Erquiye's doctrine. This, Is Buchanan
