Remarking, en- PEASANT, that the Delta has always
been noted for the intensity Of its opposition to the
American party, we will proceed TO quote tne par
ticuar 1--WE SUPPOSE parag graph from Major breckin-
ridges Mppecanoe Battle Ground speech 70 whlch
Governor Wickliffe is represented as having given
an unqualified endorsement.
That paragraph reads as follows;

preston Of the voice communities upon this and all
other domestic questions
From the lights now before us, several important
points are Enthusiastically clear 1t is posttsre that
the Democratic candidate for the Vice Presidency
has stated that "he ,cas connected ,c no political
cation ,ytich desired to erted slaue'y" No
one disputes that he did say On the contrary it
Is admitted on all sides by his political friends who
control the columns of Buchanan presses. And those
friends have endeavored to justify the expression
made use of by Major Breckenridge! Now, we dosay
and we defy contradiction, that the difficulties be-
tween the North and the South have arisen exclu-
syely from the rightfnl and constitutional efforts OF
the latter to extend the institution Of slavery over
the Territories. William Fl. Seward never proposed
to interfere with slavery in the States although he
wars against its introduction into the Territories
Slavery can only be extended by its introduction into
Territories There is no other mode nor manner OF
extension. John c. Breckenridge has boldly asserted,
in the face of assembled thousands in free State,
that che was connected with political organisation
WHICH DESIRED TO EXTEND SLAVERY" Where is
the practical difference in the positions of Seward
and Breckenridge? If there is any, it is so small
that a mental microscope would be required to dis
cover its whereabouts! -@-S.
Seward opposes the extension of slavery. Breck-
inridge repudates connection with any political Oh.
Ganization y which desires q to extend slavery"
And this perncious, fatal, anti-Southern doctrine
has according to the Delt been endorsed by the Gov
ernor of Louisiana G. Wicktc. We sincerely
trust his Excecncy, Tor whom we entertain high
personal regard, will be able to explain this matter
satisfactorily to his friends and constituents. If such
doctrine is to obtain we may we'll let go all the
ropes and surrender the Southern ship without any
conditions, into the hands of the abolitionsts.
While on this point we feel it a duty we owe the
Southern public to reproduce some extracts from
speech delivered by the Hon. James Buchanan in the
United States Senate at the time treaty for the an
nexaon of Texas was pending. The speech, i'll full,
may be found in the Congressional Globe, part II,
volume Is, Of the Appendix. Here are the extracts
referred to- Mr.. Buchanan said:
