The Richmond Enquirer OF June 2Oth,
thus sums up the services which Mr.. Bu-
chanan, in his long public career, has rem
dered to the cause of slavery.
cit is refreshing to contemplate the quiet
dignity and patriotic spirit which character
lied Mr.. Buchanan's career in Congress
Not for one instant, never on single propo-
sition was he found in company with the
abolitionists He neither originated nor
supported measures Of aggression upon the
South, but in every emergency zealotlsly de-
Tended the legal and political rights Of
slavery. So consistently did he adhere to
the Constitution, that we challenge the Wing
to cite single instance of clear and un,
equivocal struggle between slavery and
abolitionism, in which Mr.. Buchanan did not
espouse the interests of the South. Lie
never strove to impair the legal guarantees
of slavery. He never neglected ain opportu'
nifty of rebukng the spirit and opposing the
designs of sectional agitation. 1t is true nc
did not 60 the entire length of MIR. Calhouns
famous resolutions and neither did Mr.
| Clay. Mr.. Buchanan went as far in thell
support as any other Northern Senator; sc
far, indeed, as to advance beyond the popular
sentiment of the Northern States. On every
particular issue in dispute letween slavery
and abolitionism, Mr.. Buchanan took thu
side of the South"

speech of Col. Fremont.

After the adjournment of the ratification
meeting held at the Tabernacle, in New
York, the meeting formed into procession
and marched up Broadway to the residence
Of Col Fremont and were addressed by him.
He said
l thank you for this friendly call, and am
happy to receive this enthusiastic reception
as an expression Of your adoption of the
cause in which we are engaged. The en-
thus;asm you have manifested, and serious
ness of the cause to which it is directed,
gives me great confidence in your final and
complete success. If am elected to this
high office for which your partialty has
nominated me, l will endeavor to administer
the government according to the true spirit
of the constitution, as it was understood by
the great men who framed and adopted it,
and in such a way as to preserve both lber-
ty and the Union.
In my present relations to you it is hard

Fremont's Chances.

The Washington correspondent of the N.
Y. Herald says, under date of the 10Th inst,
that sthe nomination of Col. Fremont is
variously considered, many imagining that
he will sweep the country. Some of the
California Buchanan politicians are forced in
to the admission that he was a good sight
for that State. Inquiries are frequent, with
in the last twenty-four hours, to know what
State north Of Mason and DiXon's line can
be relied upon as sure for Buchanan. The
South has one hundred and twenty votes
and supp sing that Buchanan should get
every Southern State-which he can't do
lie will still want, to elect him, an additional
twenty-nine votes. Pennsylvania, if secured
for him, which is now doubtful, will give hin
twenty-seven out of the Twenty-Five, leaving
a balance, as necessary to his election, of two
votes. Delaware must come out of the es
innate of the Southern States that are t.
cast their votes for Buchanan, which will
make the odds against him greater thar
above suggested"

Name for the Pro-SIavery Party.

The N. Y Evening Post, feeling it to be
misuse of language to call the supporters of
MIR. Buchanan for the Presidency the Demo-
cratic party, since they have abandoned the
great distinctive principles of Democracy :;
that to designate them as the Federal party
would be offensive as well as unjust to large
class of respectable men who differ from
them entirely on the slavery question, and
that the term Doughfaccs is not sufficiently
comprehensive, gives proper christening to
the party in what follows:
But we cannot undertake to conduct 4
Presidential canvass against party without
name, and we have felt that the first thing
to be done by the Republicans in the an
preaching struggle was to fix upon some
striking, characteristic and suggestive title
by which to salute their adversaries, and at
last we think we have found one which will
meet the exigency precisely. We would
designate them as the Buccaneers. This name
in the first place, has the great advantage
over every other, of idcnti ying the party
with the name of its leader; in the next
place it indirectly gives suitable prominence
to the last great measure of Mr.. Buchanan's
public life, the piratical manifesto from Os-
tend. The Buccaneers, we need hardly re
mind our readers, had their origin among the
West India Islands, where they originally
promulgated the platform of principles adopt
ed IN our day by the diplomatsts at Ostcnd.
and where they prosecuted similar policy
with reference to the property and lands Of
their ncighbors indeed, the Queen CT 1hs
Antilles, was then deemed as necessary to
the safety of the Buccaneers who had their
headquarters in St. Domingo, as it is now to
the constituency represented at Ostcnd, and
1t is curious to observe how imperccptible
is the difference between the policy pursued
toward Cuba one hundred years ago in the
councils at La Tortue and that recommended
by the United States Minister to England in.
1854. -
In othe- respects the name is equally ap-
propriate. The Buccaneers were eminentiv
g sound on the Goose" Not only did they
hold slaves themselves, but they conducted
thriving trade in that commodity-tmis
practically recognizing all the fundamental
principles OF the domestic policy laid down
at CINCINNATI, half a century or more before
MIR. Buchanan was born. -
by accepting the name of Buccaneers, there
lore the party to which we refer will derive
rom them whatever advantage belongs to
antiquity of birth and length'of descent; it
Will also put an end to the malicious ATTEMPTS
which people are constantly making to trace
the organization and principles Of the party
to mischievous ab6litionist in Virginia ST

The Yankee Travelling North.

The Red River Traders are taking home
with them, into Queen Victoria's dominions,
any quantity of the latest Yankee inventions
in the shape of Agricultural Implements
A procession of carts, yesterday and the day
before, lined Third and St. Anthony streets,
laden with Manny's Reapers and Mowers,
and the latest improved Thrashing Machines.
The fruitful harvests of the Red River Valley
will this year be "operated upon,'' by a
kind of process never dreamed of by Lord
Selkirk, when he planted his colony, in that
remote region, some eighty years ago. The
Reaper and the Thrashing Machine is hence
forth to astonish the new generation, ON the
far off plains of the Red river, five hundred
miles north of St. Paul!
Our Southern politicians are eternally
complaining of the "aggressions of the
Yankees. They will here see that this mucl
abused class of "aggressors" are turning
their attention further North, as we'll as to
wards the South.
Speaking of the Red River Traders, We
may note that those living north of the U
S. boundary have never so literally dealt il
st. Paul as they have this year. Men re
presenting in capital hundreds of thousand
ofpounds sterling are now in our city, max
ing purchases of character heretofore un
precedented. st. Paul has, in the case O
these men, drawn the trade from London
Liverpool, and Montreal. The Hudson
Bay Company, even under the Reciprocit,
Treaty, is allowed to levy duty of three
per cent, ad volorem, upon American good
taken across the line. The company hav'
wisely determined to appropriate the who'll
of this revenue to the building of roads il
the colony.
The commerce of British North Americ
and of the United States of America is no,
one-the government of the two will b
one-some of these days.
