John Slldell OF Louisiana Is known as one OF
the most INSCRIPTIONS and adroit political an
triguants in the Union. He is a native of New
York, and left that city for New Orleans, very
suddenly, many years ago. Establishing him
self in New Orleans, he introduced into that
city the New York system of politics, and origi-
mated and contrived in 1874 the great Plaque
mine Fraud, by which Henry Clay was to be
deprived of the electoral vote of Louisiana, and
thereby, as it was expected, of his election to
the Presidency.
Auguste Belmont, the Austrian jew, now
representing this country at the Hague, is a
nephew by marriage, OF Mr.. Sldell. He OBJ
tanned the appointment of Minister to the
Hague, to the exclusion of every other appli-
cant for foreign mission from New York,
through the influence of Mr. Buchanan. And
why, our readers may inquire, did Mr.. Buchan-
an interest himself for Mr. Belmont the Aus
TRAN Jews Manifestly because Mr.. Belmont
at the instgation Of Mr.. Slidell, had in the win
ter of 1852, got up Buchanan meeting in New
York, to promote the nomination Of that gem
tleman for the Presidency by the Convention
of that year.
The mission to the Hague was the guild pro
quo which Mr.. Belmont received through Mr..
Buchanan for advocating his claims in 1862.
In 1866, Isaiah Rynders, of New York, and
his Empire Club of two hundred and fifty men,
proceeded to Cincinnati at an expense Of not
less than $40 900, to urge the nomination Of Mr..
Buchanan Who paid their expensess Bel
mont, of course, the Austrian Jew, and agent
of the Rothschilds.
And in return for this expenditure, and $780,,
600 more which he has promised to contribute,
Belmont, if Mr.. Buchanan shall be elected, is
to be rewarded with the mission to Paris -
We assert this on undoubted Democratic au-
thority, as it was openly asserted at Cincin-
natl, by the friends of Buchanan, that Belmont
would contribute one hundred thousand dol
lars to the expenses Of the campaign, if Buch-
anan were nominated.
With these facts staring them in the face,
can "old Wings" be induced by promises
which will never be fulfilled, to support Mr..
Buchanan, whom Henry Clay despised above
all other men, and whose nomination has been
mainly effected through John Slidell, the au
thor Of the Plaquemine Fraud, aided by the
money Of his nephew, Belmont, the Austrian
Jewf
When charges of bribery and corruption
were made against Mr.. Clay, why did Mr. Blu
chanan, who knew they were false, refuse to
contradict them9 He protested then, as he
did in after years, to be a warm personal friend
of Mr.. Clay What sort of friendship was that
which allowed him to remain SILENT when one
word from him would have refuted, and for
ever, the base SANDER against Mr.. Clayp That
word James Buchanan refused to utter, and
was rewarded for his baseness by the mission
to St Petersburgh The course he'then pur-
sued was characteristic of the man. Cold
blooded and selfish to the highest degree he
was never known, throughout his whole ca
reer, to be moved by any other considerations
than those which tended to his own political
| advancement
