Hon. JAMES BUcHASAN.-As the name OF
this eminent stateman is mentioned everywhere
over the United States as n candidate for the
Presidency, says the Philadelphia Pennsylua-
MAN ofthc 9Th inst, it will probably be graft
flying to the great mass of our people, to know
the precise position be couples, in reference to
the Presidential question 1t has long been
the sincere desire of every patriotic heart, that
SO exalted an Office as that of President OF
these United States, should "scek the man, aud
not the man the ollice.,' Perhaps there never
was time when both the people and the can
didates generally spoken of for the Presidency
SO earnestly bowed to that wholesome axiom.
In private letter to gentleman of Pennsyl,
vania, Mr. Buchanan writes as follows:
"You refer to the connection of my name
with the Presidency. This |
neither desired nor expected. The movement
in my favor has, THEREFORE originated without
my previous knowledge or consent, and should
be quite satisfied should another be selected.
",rhe next will be the most important and
responsible Presidential term since the last wal
with England, or perhaps since the origin OF
the government. Both our foreign and domcs
tic affairs will require the guidance of an able
firm and skiful pilot to steer the vessel of State
clear of the breakers. Ipray Heavens that the
best man be selected for the crisis, and to me
it is a matter of Indifference whether he comes
from the North or the South, the East or the
West.p

in IL, and its accession has added only one mos

We next turn to the annexation Of Texs,
We know that this great me assure met ns
most violent opposition ut the North, and On.
ring its pcndency it was held up by anti-slaver
men as southern issue. 1t is not true how.
ever, that it was a sectional issue, but Texa,
was annexed by the united voice Of the nation.
al democracy spreading over and covering the
whole Union But, for the sake Of the sreu.
ment, let it be conceded that Texas was 4
acquisition of the slave power" Will u.
subsequent disposition Of its territory sustain
the charge of aggression? The whole Of Texu
as proposed to be annexed to the United Stat,
was slave territory The North objected b..
cause of the fact that it was slave territory
The south agreed to division, assigning d
free soil all lying north of 36 deg. 80 min "a
reservng the residue to be admitted as Slam,
free states as the people should decide.
We repeat, again, that the United STATE,
never owned an acre of free territory east q
the Rocky mountains except what the south
made free by votes Of its Representatives h

by abolitionists with aggrcssions upon freedomI

THEKANsAs CONTESTED ELECTION

The first act in the Kansas drama in the
House Of Representatives was played out on
Yesterday, says the Union of the 23d ult.
After two days labor, the resolution from
the Committee Of Elections, asking for power
to send for persons and papers to be used in
the contested election from Kansas, was re-
committed, with Instructions to report the rea-
son fol. such o procedure. s s5r.. as..
Gov. Reeder had given Gen. Whitfield
notice Of his intention to contest his seat seye-
raj months ago, but down to this time he has
taken no proof on which to sustain his claim to
the seat After this long delay, he now de-
sires that commissioners be appointed to go to
Kansas to take the proof which, under the law,
he could and should have taken months ago.
81 This was SO transparent q dodge, and dis
closed so clearly that the real object is not to
have speedy settlement Of the contest, but to
procrastinateit for purposes Of continued agita-
ton, that it is strange that even black repnb IL
cans undertake to sustain so absurd a proceed
ing .t4Ittata +a4s E1I44
n The discussion, however, has not been with
out its benefits. 1t has made palpable two
important points; first, that Gov Recder's
professions to Il seat are SO absurd that his
own friends are not prepared to meet the issue
and, sec0ad, it has shown that it is the policy
and the purpose of aboiionisn to keep alive
the Kansas excitement for political ends con.
nected with the approaching presidential cleo
ton.
Oh 1t matters nothing to the black republicans
that they are involving the country in an ex
pense of hundreds of thousands of dollars, and
deprlylng Kansas of q representative in Con
grcss; with them these are small matters com
pared with the Importance of keeping up the
