This is Fact which has never, we believe,

Mr.. BUCHANAN soon after allied himself with
the old Jeffersonian party, and ever since his

Of It's stsunchest, ablest and most consistent

This gentleman, who was steady and
consistent opponent Of the repeal of the Mis-.
sour Compromise, signi6sd his withdrawal
from the Democratic party, on the floor of the
Senate, on Thursday last. The reason given by
Mr.. hAxLIS for this step is, that the recent
Democratic Convention at Cincinnati endors-
ed the contamination ofthst act and its results

no longer act with the party. but should give

GuberuatoriaI Canvass.

We are informed that the opposing candi-
dates for Governor, met on Thursday, at
New Castle, in Henry County, to address
their fellow citizens. A large audience was in
attendance to hear them. 1t was the second
time they had met in discussion since the
canvass opened, at their previous meeting
in Centreville, Wayne county. Gov. Will
LARD opened in an hour aud half, Judge
MORTON followed in two hours, Gov. WILL
LARD closed in half an hour. At New Cas-
tie Gov WILLARD pursued the ordinary
course, which is adopted BY eanyasSers, and
promptly offered to review the position oc-
cupied at Centreville, and give Judge Nor
ton the opening and close; but the Judge
and his friends were unwilling to have him
meet his opponent on the same terms; that
Gov. WILLARD was willing to discuss the
question in his own town. They insisted that
the discussion should be carried on by each
party occupying one half an hour and the
Judge to have the close. After Gov. VIII
LARD told the audience what the facts were,
and il became apparent to all men that the
Judge was determined to avoid discussion,
a committee was appointed TO adjust the
time. The whole effort Of judge MoRTos
was to appeal to the Abolition vote proper,
assailing the institutions Of the South, and
dsnouncipg the Fugitive Slave Law, and
utterly refusing to discuss the questions in
volved in the Kansas and Nebraska act,
while Gsv. WILLARD made his appeal to
the \ ational men of the county. He told the
Abolitionists that he did not desire their
votes so long as they entertained their pres
eHt views. lie could and would not represent
their opinions. lie had no sympathy with
that party who were unwilling to execute
the Constitution of the United States in its
every particular.
/ a large audience were in attendance, con-
sisting of fully one thousand voters, who
listened attentively to the discussion. The
friends of WILLARD were we'll pleased with
the exercises, and perfectly satisfied with the
result. The refusal Of MORTON hereafter to
accompany his competitor in the canvass Of
the State, is indicative Of his own want Of
confidence in his ability to sustain his posi-.
tons before the people, both in regard to bis
individual exertions, and the merits of hi;
cause. The truth is, MoRTeN is no match
for WILLARD, and he is wo.ully restrained
and COMPOUNDED by his presence, therefore
he dare not meet him before the people face
to face.
