antdemocrac conservative power Of the country will be
able to beat him. yet II they should fail they may s hope
that bis will give TO the country President who
win prove friend to the Union and conservative in
his administration than is the political platform upon which
he has been placed by the convention"
Our neighbors do no than naked justice to the
character of Mr. Buchanan when they speak Of him
