Kansas Question.

Mr.. Buehanan's Position Oh the Kansas @ Question
The Pennsylvania of Saturday last contains an
eoltorlal OF ten columns, in which the political his
Tory OF the democratic party of Pennsylvania is
drawn up In an imposing style, followed by an elabo
rate presentation of the leading features in the long
ana brilliant public of Mr.. Buchanan. The
anteceden position of this distinguished statesman
on The slavery question is set forth at considerable
I,ength, and with the express purpose of showing
his present relation to the issues which are now en-
gaging the public mind. As this article has the ap
rearance of an authoritative exposition of MIR Blu
chanans views, (and yet we doubt the genuineness
OF the friendship professed for him. we shall copy
so much OF 1t as relates to tine slavery question in
our paper tomorrow, and give our reaso.s for
gardng 1t with suspicion-unless, in the mean time
we find that this, Ikea late article from the New
York Herald has been smuggled into the Pennsyl
vanan without the KNOWLEDGE or approval of either
the editor or proprietor Union.

remuneration. They therefore beg the intercesson
of our government in their behalf citizens Of the
United States and entitled to the protection of its
flag. 1t is also stated that Walker levied contrbu.
tons upon the following merchants after he had ia.
