iornia, and, if necessary, ally herself with
Russia, with Cuba, and Brazil"
The organ of the Buchanan Democracy, print
ed at Syracuse N. Y, is equally explicit in regard
to the position of the party, in the following
strain:
Standing upon the ample planks of the
Cincinnati Platform WE ARE NOT ONLY
The APOLOGISTS BUT THE ADVO-
GATES AND DEFENDERS OF THAT
PECULIAR INSTITUTION. We claim for
American Slavery that it is and has been one
of the chief bulwaiks OF our Hberty-while
we claim that ii has ameliorated the condi-
ton of the slave"
Next, We have the declaration of James Blu
ehanan himself, as expressed to correspondent
of the Huntsville (Ala) Democrat, personal
friend of the editor who writes from Philadelphia
detailing the result of personal interview WITH
the Sage of Wheatland, las follows:
Mr. Buchanan gave us cordial and frank
reception, and talked with us with the free.
dom of an old acquaintance. l really felt as
if had known him all my lite. He said tie
issue involved in this election was the union
of these States as equals. That the South
has submitted to the agressions of the aboli-
tionisis with patience that might well chal-
lcnge the admiration of the world, and consld-
ering the fire. eating propensities, was difficult
| to understand. He ridiculed the doctrine of
| Squatter Sovereignty, and said that the South
had now, for the first time in the history of
the country, obtained from the government
the concessions of the true principles, viz (:
| that the people of Territory had the right,
when they came TO form State constitution,
| to say whether they would or would not have
slavery. That by this legislation Congress
had admitted that the power was with the
people, and not in Congress, and the only
sensible rule was, that this could be exercis-
ed by the people only when they form a State
Government, preparatory to admission into
the Union. L give you almost his very words.
He said, if he should be elected, he felt assur-
ed the slavery question would be finally set
tied, provided he could carry portion of the
New England States or the State of New York.
In other words, if he were elected by ma
tional vote, what he would do in the premis-
es he would have national support, and the
strength of the Free Soilism, which is section
al, would dispersed.
The truth is, Mr.. Buchanan is as sound on
this question as was Mr.. Calhoun, aud the
Northern Democracy are better Southern men
to-day, than many Democrats even at the
South. Whatever they may have done here
totore, now they meet the question boldly,
and defend the institution of slavery with
fearlessness that we might do well to initiate.
They do not even apologize for 1t on the
| ground that it is recognised in the Constitu-
ton; but they say it is right, That God him.
self established it, and that it has the Bible
for its foundation. If we do not sustain
these men in defence of our institutions we
deserve eternal infamy. The contest is obvi-
ousy between Buchanan and Fremont. Fill
more is not in the race No man here pre-
tends to say that he is.
