maiden dies, they imprison young bird until
il first begins to try its power Of song, and then
loading it with kisses and caresses, they loose
lis bonds over the grave in the belief that it
will not fold its wings nor close its eyes until it

thirty birds let loose over one grave.

triumph of the principles Of the Nebraska bill,
and the advice that these principles should not
be discarded, are in peculiar harmony with the
stern patriotism Of character which has always
controlled Mr.. Buchanan in meeting great
questions, and especially in resisting the onsc,s
Of the enemies Of the rights Of the States.
Mr.. Speaker, we are on the eve Of important
events. We are in the midst Of an era Of In
vestigation; and at such time it is natural, IL
is right, that the records Of our public men
should be explored, to see how far they may
be trusted in the future. We have not boasted
Of the record Of Mr.. Buchanan, nor have we
obtruded it upon the country. The masses
know it by heart; they have studied IL care.
fully, and they rest upon il, confident that IL viii
stand the test of the most intelligent scrutiny.
And while we are thus careful TO secure q
standard-bearer whose past history shall be one
luminous illustration Of truth defended, and Of
error exposed, it is proper that We should extend
to those gallant national men, heretofore in
opposition to us, cheerful welcome to our
ranks. Let us secure the co operation Of these
gifted and patriotic men; let us maintain our
hold upon the affections Of the national Demo
Gratis, by presenting n candidate who, like
James Buchanan, viii challenge and command
the respect of all parties; and who stands upon
the record without blemish, and can point to q
career worthy of the imitation Of every young
