"The Red, white and Blue. +"

For Buchanan-pr,de of the nation,
The choice Of the fearless and free
We join In heartfelt ovation,
And he shall our President be-.
Our bosoms in throbbing communion,
Remember the statesman so true,
Who sheltered our glorious Union,
And stands by the red, white and blue.
From lands where the millions are yearning
For freedom from tyranny's chain,
Buchanan in glOdness returning,
Beholds dear Columbia again.
His heart beats with freedoms devotion
Hissoul is yet steadfast and true;
g. He swoars to the Union Devotion"
And stands by the red, white and bluel
No factious dissensions shall sever
The bands that our Washington wrought,
"The Union" unchanging forever,
Is shfined in each PATRIOTS thought.
onr love and our faith are not hollow;
In strength they we're nourished and grew,
The chief we have chosen we'll follow,
And stand by the red, white and blue!
Our voices are joined in communion
The stars Of our flag are above;
Huzza for Buchanan and Unionl
Huzza for the man that we lovel
The old Union ship which he rides in
Is staunch in her timbers and true,
And now through the States sheis gliding,
Her flag is the red, white and blue

II, instead ofSharp's rifles, ,provisins had been
procured and sent up the Missouri, something
substantial might have been accomplished.
The Bordefers would have sold oul, and
gone itill further into the wilderness, ready
for other purchasers.
The idea Of carrying many slaves into
this wild region, Is utterly pTeposterous.
Shareholders love quiet and ease, and could
not stand the rough life TO which they would
be exposed in Kansas. tr
We have always looked upon it, therefore,
as certain that Kansas would be free. Mis-
souri, itself, which possesses only $1,000
slaves. was an olIshoot from slavery in the
wrong direction. ltwould be greatly to her
advantage to abolish slavery;-for her lands
would then rise in value, and her population
be greatly augmented. In the course OF ten or
twenty years, this result will be accomplish
ed, unless Anti Slavery agitation sho uld
prevent it, as it has already prevented like
change in some other States. The South,
therefore gained nothing, and expected to
gain nothing, by the repeal of the Missouri
Compromise, except to remove a restriction
from Them which they considered unconstI.
tutiondl and unjust. Even the State Of Mis-
souri, does not sustain the Border Rufians.- :
On the contrary, in all quarters of the Stat G
except the extreme West, the conduct OF those
who went from Missouri TO fight and vote,
had been sternly reprobated. The bill which
has passed the Senate on this subject, also
Teprobates this misconducin the fullest man

terest on the part Of the Black Republicans
to keep up agitation, warfare and excitement
until the day OF election. 1t will be for the
people then to decide, whether those who seek
to allay excitement shall be rewarded, or,
those who keep it up for electioneering pur-
poses of party. With Buchanan in the Pres
idential cnair--whlch we regard as settled
and certain-sectional agitation will be ter

Of complete safety and prosperity.

ARCHAEOLOGICAL DISCOVERIES IN ScrNDE.
IAN interesting pamphlet has lately been
published in Bombay by Mr. Bellasis, Col
lecter Of Hyderbad, in Scinde. containing an
account of his excavations and discoveries
on the site fthe ancient city of Brahmina-
dab, on branch of the old bed the Indus.
Tradition affims that the ciry--the capital

trated-was destroyed by fire from heaven
and by earthquake on account Of the wicked
ness Of its ruler. The investigations Of Mr..
Belass seem to prove that the place really
was destroyed by some terrible conyulsion OF
nature, which probably, at the same time,
completely changed the coursa OF the In

Mr.. Clay. in his speech in the Sen ate Feb.
Z, 1889 thus daguerreotypel the very as pect
Of affairs in the year 1856:
"Slr," said MIR. Clay. Il am not IN the habit
Of speaking lightly Of the possibility Of dis
solving this happy Union. The Senate know
that have deprecated illusions, on ordina.
ry occasions, to that direlul event. The
country will testify that. il there be anything
in the history OF my public career worthy Of
recollection. it is the truth and sincerity Of
my ardent do votion to its lasting preserva-
ton. But we should be false in our allegiance
to it, five did not descrim mate between the
imaginary and real dangers by which il may
be assailed. Abolitionis m should no lon
ger be regarded as an i'm aginary dagger
The Aboitionists, let me suppose, succeed
in their present aim, Of uniting the inhab-
itants Of the free States, as one man, against
the inhabitants of the slave States Union
on our side will beget union on the other,
and this process of reciprocal conso lidat ion
will be attended with all the violent preju-
dice,embttered passions AMI implacable AMI
mosites which ever degraded or deformed
human nature. One section will
stand in menacing and hostile array against
the other. The collision of opinion will be
quickly followed By the clash of arms. | will
not attempt to describe scenes which now
happily lie concealed from our view. Alb.
oiitionists themselves would shrink back
in dismay and horror at the contemplation
of desoiated fields. conhagrated cities, muir.
dered inhabitants, ard the overthrow Of the
fairest fabric Of human government that ever
rose to animate the hopes of civilized men.

Mission Of the Democracy.

The Democratic party, at various times
in the history of the Republic, (says the N.
York Journal Of Commerce) has performed
the highest service as tie true friends of
what is solid and endurug in the manage
ment of public affairs, when great crisis
seemed to be impending. In our judgement
there never was period when a Pfesiden-
tial canvass afforded the opportunity for
higher service than they now perform. In
electing James Buchanan, as they certainly
will, the country will avoid the disasters in.
20 which itwould be plunged by ihosewho at.
tempt 10 correct public evils by disorgau.
izing proceedings, instead of adherihg to
the recognized and established tribunals Of
the land. Every conservative man should
support his nomination, as the only escape
from a multitude of evils greaier than
rushed from the tabled box Of Pandora to af.
fict humanity.

While some old, worn out, trading politicians
who cannot use Mr.. Fillmore for the advancement
OF their own selfish purposes, are quitting him for
the more pliable sectional candidates the people
are focking to his standard, as they see more and
more clearly the dangerous condition the country
is in and the utter hopeessness of any alteration
for the better from either of the two sectional
parties. That the old.line Wings win almost to a
man vote with the American party in this great

consequent perpetuity of the institutions which
| have been bequeathed to us by sages and heroes
such as the world never before saw. may be con-
sidered certain Nor is this ALL There are many
men In the Democratic ranks who are not to be
driven by the lash of the party whip from the de-
liberate conclusions of their own judgments, whose
intelligence, PATRIOTISM and devotion to the coun-
try in this day of its peril will cause them to rise
above party and to pursue that course which duty
