Buchanan's Northern Face.

The supporters of Mr Buchanan in the
South claim him as the Southern candidate
par ercegeace. In the press and by the
public speakers he is represented as hav-
ing always been the constant friend of the
South and of Southern institutions; and ii
is daily thundered In our ears, that we who
oppose his election, and prefer Millard Fill
more, whose fidelity to the South and 10y
atty to the whole country have been tested
are recreant In our duty and false to our
professions
Now what do those who know Mr. Buch-
anan best, say of him? The home organ
of Buchanan, the Lancaster HtcUigencer,
presents him to the people of the North
thus:
Facts to be RememJered.-Who nomi-
mated Mr.. Buchanan Let it be borne In
mind, says the Steuben Farmers Adro-
cate, that it was the North! On the first
ballot in the Cincinnati Convention, he re-
ceived one hundred and nine cotes from
the free States, and but hirty.tour votes
from the slaye States. The Southern
States, with but two or three exceptions,
voted against him in a body up TO the last
ballot, when they yielded to the force of
public opinion Yet, on every hand, you
hear abolition orators and papers crying out
that he is the Southern candidate-in IA
vor of the extension of slavery, etc, etc
James Buchanan has been in public life for
over thirty years, and We challenge any
man to produce the first word or act to
provo tboca boca sSSartIopS of M, ,pccru,,,
lous opposition. He was born and educa-
ted, and has always lived in free State
and his public life gives the lie to the
charge that he ever favored the extension
of slavery"
This is the way they electioncer at his
own home, for the "Northern man with
Southern principles Are the people of
the South to be cheated and swindled in
this style2 The Democratic paper pub
Hshed in Mr. Buchanan's town, under his
very nose, for the purpose of Influencing
the Northern mind in his favor, proclaims
that he is emphatically the candidate of the
North, because he was nominated at Gin
cinnati by Northern votes, which is exact
" true-having received on the first bal
lot one hundred and nine Northern votes,
and only thirty. t5ur Southern votes! Bu-
chanan was thus not the choice of the Sou
thern Democracy, although he is now
proclaimed by his Southern friends as
the chosen candidate of the South. and the
specially anointed champion of Southern
rights and interests Can hypocrisy and
humbuggcry 90 farther than this!
Again, his home organ says that the al
legation that he is the Southern candi-
date" and sin favor of the extension OF
slavery" is the chase assertion of an un-
scrupulous opposition and that 'shis pub
lie life GIVES THE LIE to the charge that
he ever favored the extension of slavery ,''
Thus it seems, that beth the Democratic
candidates for the Presidency and Vice
Presidency are in the same category; they
both avow that they have no wish to ex-
tend the area of slavery
