- The democrats and national wings Of Penn
sylvania are uniting for the preservation of the
Union. The Union county convention in Lancss.
ter nominated Isaac Z. Hester, old line whg, for
Congress, and placed six old line wings upon the
county ticket. all warm friends of Mr.. Buchanan.
M. Hester was formerly in Congress- but was de-
fested by the sham republicans because Of his ma
tional views.-Uni0a and American.
1t has not been long since Southern de-
mocrats declared the support of the princi-
Piles of the Kansas Nebraska bill test of
soundness and nationality; but our neigh
Dor seems to have changed his ground.
The Mr.. HESTER whose nomination by the
Buchanan Democracy of Mr.. Buchanan's
immediate neigborhood is mentioned above,
was member of the thirty-third Congress,
and opposed The Kansas Nebraska bill an
all its stages For a correct understanding
Of the opinions and sentiments of this ina
tional" old line whig, we would refer the
reader 10 a speech he made in Congress on
the oath of April, 1854, recorded in the
appendix to the Congressional Globe, vol
30, page SIG, in which he denominates the
Missouri restriction "thc deep record Of
the baptism of liberty" and demonstrates
against its obliteration; declares the multi
fcation Of the restriction was not contem-
plated by the compromise of lS50;-asks
Southern men, with what countenance
"can you ask to be relieved from it, after
you have reaped all the advantages it Sc
"cures to you, and the other party have OBJ
"tained but trifing part Of their cOnsid-
"eration. Do you reply that they have
continually protested against the Unequal
''ity of the bargain, while you have insisted
"on its fulfillment After obtaining your
"share, this is a precious reason for de-
"manding new distribution. The South
"have secured from the Louisiana purchase
''three slave States, Louisiana, Missouri,
"and Arkansas; the North, one free State,
iowa; the share Of the South, under the
missouri Compromise, is exhausted; that
''of the North is yet to be realized; and
fthe South now asks to rescind the parti-
ton" In that speech, Mr. HESTER also
disapproves of the repeal Of the Missouri
restriction on the ground that it will make
Kansas slave State, ard, by the force of
example, tend to the Introduction of slavery
into Utah and New Mexico also. Further
h. In h,y, md
"ment, sir, Congress, as the organ of the
"Union, has the constitutional right, not
''merely to regulate the Territories, but to
prescribe the terms acHh reference 10 SLAVERY
"aS. well as TO every other subject on which
ga new State may be received into the con-
"federacy" And he warned the House
gainSt the abrogation of the restriction on
the further ground, that it would not pre-
vent further agitation. $50 far" said he,
''from its having this effect, feel persuaded
''that the repeal of this section would inhct
$50 deep sense Of injury upon the North,
"that it would give rise to an agitation
(which could not be quoted until the OBJ
'noxious provision was stricken from the
Statute book or erery acre Of territory af-
'fected By us operation, was admitted as part
''of sovereignty into the Union"
These are the sort Of opinions which this
Buchanan nominee entertains. They are
such as should recommend him to the sup
port of black republicans; and no doubt
his nomination was made with view to
detach a portion Of the black republicans
from the candidate of their party, for the
benefit of Mr. Buchanan, who Of course be-
lieves the election or even an increased
vote for the candidate Of his party in the
Congressional election in the Lancaster dis
trict viii have beneficial effect. And is it
for this paltry object, that the Buchanan
Democracy of the Lancaster district turn
their backs upon the principles Of the
sas-Nebraska bill" and puke up the
party test they had swallowedy We have
been thus particular in drawing attention to
the nomination of Mr. HESTER and TO his
published opinions, that Southern Demo
Gratis may see the game which Mr. Buchan-
an is playing in his own district What
care he and his boon companions of Ian
caster for the principles of the Kansas
Nebraska bill, when they come between
him and the sun Of his ambition!
