Tr. Buchanan's Electi0n-F1rst Southern
Manifesto-A New Consultation Dis
union-Whas win Mr. BuclsaA an Do!
We transfer to the columns of the HERALD this
morning, in ertesso, the first Southern manifesto
upon Mr. Buchanan's election, together with the
Introductory remarks of the Charleston Mercury,
This manifesto is from that prince of secessouists,
X. Barnwell Rhett, and the new programme
which he lays down for the democratic party,
and for the South, will be rather calculated to
stagger the unterrifed" Of Tammany Hall.
Mr. Rhett does not consider the election Of Mr..
Buchanan as afording any satisfactory guarantee
TO the South; he sees nothing but danger in the
future, and he therefore proposes to strike at
what be considers the root of the evil-the tariff
and the Constitution Of the United States He
suggests that the South shall demand a very low
tariff, and such amendments of the Constitution
as will secure their protection against Northern
ageressions, and that if they are refused there
shall be a Southern confederacy What's TO be
done? This is q new proposition, and very
startling one but it at least developes the rabid
condition Of mind of the ultra Southern leaders
of the democratic party. Allowing that Mr..
Buchanan cannot undertake this work Of a new
Constitution or very low tariff what is be to
do and what may we reasonably expect at his
hands?
According to the Cincinnati platform, the o.
tend manifesto and the DEGREES of the controlling
Southern wing Of the democratic party, Mr..
Buchanan will enter the White House in his do
nestle policy a pro-slavery border rutian and
in his foreign policy proslavery flibuster. In
other words, his foreign and domestic policy will
be resolved into the simple mission of the exten-
sion of the area of slavery, within and without
The United States in defiance of internal and in
ternational law, in contempt Of public opinion,
and by the short method Of the army and navy
and volunteer mercenaries The Southern ultra
wing Of the party expect this and will demand
this: the Northern conservative democracy fear
il, yet they hope for better things; while the OPP
position forces are resting upon their oars, en-
tirely satisfied that, do what be may, Mr.
Buchanan must cheat the North OF the South,
and that. in either event, bis administration will
give the finishing blow to bis expiring party.
One Of our city Fremont contemporaries is quite
certain that Mr.. Buchanan will be dragooned
into the ru9lan Kansas policy Of poor Pierce,
be TO concilate the North by those constitutional
and law and order measures which would secure
The admission into the Union OF Kansas as a
free State, he will be compelled. from the pres
sure Of his Southern managers, TO pursue
the opposite course OF securing Kansas "a a
slave State, in the consummatiou OF the despotic
military policy Of his predecessor. We are graft
ted. however, to state, from sources of informal
ton entitled to respect. that Mr.. Buchanan 10 re-
ference to Kansas, is wholly disinclined to hurry
up The completion Of the demoralizing game OF
poor Pierce, JEFF. Davis and A'chison; but that,
on the other hand the President elect NAV be
expected to enforce that fair ard honest applica.
ton 81 the VIII Of The Joaa 'dc settlers in Kan
sas, Under The conviction that this policy VIII re-
suit ID Der admission into the Union a. a free
state. Until better advised, therefore, we set
down Mr.. buchanan a. having virtually deter
mind upon constitutional and conciliatory
policy towards the North In reference to the ex-
tension Of slavery over free Territories within the
limits Of the Union.
IN regard 10 The foreign policy Of flibusterinR
couqucsts and annexations to strengthen the
-lavebodipg section Of the Union against North
I'm ogeressions, we have as yet no whisper from
Wbeatand as TO what may be expected. We
presume, however, tina, the popular results Of the
late Presidential election will have entered deeply
into the mind Of Mr.. Buchanan before be takes
up bis line Of march to Washington; and that be
will perccivereadily enough that the h.ghwayman's
policy Of Wrestling the Island Of Cuba from Spain
if we have the power" and that poor Pierce
auxiliary flibustcring scheme with Gen. Walker
are not the ticket for quiet and respectable old
bunker like Mr.. buchanan. We dare say that
be will go to Washington like General Taylor,
with q sincere desire to live a, peace with all
the world and the rest Of mankind = his ambition
