Mn. BUcHANAss PoLIcy.-Some of friends at Rich
mond and other parts of the South be
sary excited in reference what may not be the
policy of the incoming administration it regards slavery
squater sovereignty, 40 The speech Of Senator Bgle,
In which, by what conceive to be forced and unnatural
construction of his language he srpresened advocating
heretioa principles and recent article in the Pennsyva
nian euogsc of COL Benton, made the sube of
elaborate criticism in the Enquirer of Tuesday last and
fears entertained by the editors that Mr. Buchanan
doseS these views of Senator Bge and the
Now, without assuming TO speak for Mr. buchanan,
promuge his views the topics treated Of in the Enquirer
nevertheless assert that Governor Bger and
nobody else himself responsible for what he said the
floor OF the Senate and further that neither the Pennsy
vanan any other newspaper speaks by authority Of the
President elect Mr. Buchanan what he has been for
the last thirty years thorough going aterghs
constitutional democratic statesman of the Jefferson and
Jackson school, and his administration of the government
will be actuated, have not doubt, by determination to
do equal and exact justice to every portion of the Union
His course of policy will North, South, East
West The constitution will be his compass and his chart
By it, and it Alone will he seek to guide the ship of State
and Of his skill pilot at the hem and the lofty patriot
acquainted with the have solitary doubt. The
Enquirer may therefore, well reterae its expression OF im
plicit confidence in the President elect This confidence
anticipate and predict will not be shaken du
ring the next presidential term by any act Of his His course
of policy doubt not, will be alike satisfactory to his
friends and the lovers of hs Union in Virginia and Pennsy
vania in Georgia and ndana. But that policy has not
adumbraed except in his endorsement of the Cincin
platform and in his letter accepting the nomination.
We therefore, respectfully advise southern demo-
hasa lway
stood by their constitutional rights when assaed by abo
onism of every hue and grade and firmly believe he
will stand by them to the end He is, therefore, entitled to
their generous confidence in advaace Of his naugura
ton Chief Magistrate of the republic Let them not
permit the opinions Of A, B, G, who, again aver,
speak of their responsibility, to weaken their faith in
the integrity of the President If Providence spares
life fourth of March next he will then take the
oath of office and the principles and policy which
he intends carrying in his administration and when he
does that have every to believe the Enquirer will
be abundantly satisfied.
So far Senator Bgler concerned, know him to be
hearted conservative Unonoyng democrat, who will
stand by the constitution and the rights of the States in
every emergency. He is wetried and faithful democratic
statesman and have fear that he viii prove
word deed to the great principles which have always
been his guiding star and which dear to demo-
throughout the broad expanso of glorious Union
In connexon with the foregoing have the approval of
Mr. Buchanan in saying that the following extract from
the southsde Democrat states correctly his position:
"As for Kansas, Mr.. Buchanan has expressed
opinion either the other in favor OF It's coming
as free slave State. He has prudeny conceived that
II is matter with which he has nothing do, and with
which he does to meddle. Ii Is question excu
yey with the people OF the Territory with whom be is
content TO leave 1t for solution He will to il that the
principles OF the Nebraska law carried out in letter and
spirit impsrtaly, and without fear favor or affection
