Letting out his Democratic R,ooa
whether Buchanan ever made the remark
alluded TO or not, ia of mo particular inpor
lance except AS an evidence Of his violent
opposition to the Democratic party and its
aoc'rihes, and his support of high Federal
sentiments. OF that there is abundant evi-
dence Of different character, and none Of
ms friends deny it. So far as we knew
'here is no evidence of his having professed
any change of sentiments, while. il our mem.
org serves Us right, he did once on public oc.
easlon boast that he never had chanpel his
general sentiments but continued . Feaera,
ISL risht along, though he became member
OF the jackson party, and certain il is that
three years after the election of jackson
waose administration he had been supportin.
al the time, Buchanan signed public docu-
mens commencing, s.We Federalists.,'
But that he really did make the remark NJ
iuaea TO, seems beyond reasonable doubt. as
there are many persons who declare thov

publishes letter from Buchanan, containing

say they aid not hear it. That wonl3 not
