"THK WHOLE SOUTHERN CorSrRY."-Mr.
Buchanan, on hearing Of the truce patched
up between the leaders of the two " shells"
in New York, telegraphed that "the whole
Southern country would hail this reunion
as bow in the Clouds" Ilc thinks of no.
thing but what the South will say. He is
the candidate OF the South. He thinks Of
nothing but niggers, nigger-representation
niger power, nigger-drivcrs, niger breed
ers, nigger-stock, the niger market, and
the nigger-owners who lord it over the land
and hold the votes Of fifteen States in their
hands; the aristocrats who crack their whips
over three millions of working men and
threaten disunion to keep the balance in line.
The South. the South Why don't he turn
his eyes with the same eagerness and the
same confidence to the free working men OF
the North All his sympathy and assist
ance comes from an another quarter, and
springs from other sentiments than they en-

Democracy and the operations of the shame
less regime now drawing to close, salve
over their support of Buchanan with the
pleasant delusion that his nomination was
reputation of this Administration and the
acts which have earned it adisgraceful noto-
rietv. They hide in some dark corner Of
their memory the explicit approval Of oil
those acts which insures perpetuation Of
the same odious rule under Mr.. Buchanan, if
elected. This Cincinnati Convention passed
with it's platform this resolution:
F" ResoIred, That the Administration of
Franklin Pierce has been true to Democratic
principles, and therefore true to the great
interests Of the country; in the face of yo-
lent opposition, he has maintained the laws

whole population, and whose rallving points
respectively will be the independence and
nom Independence of Canada. say this in
no spirit of hostility to Great Britain It
but the natural end of things-nothing else.
To nearly oil practical intents and purposes
we are now an independent nation. All we
want is an army Of our own and through
the medium Of the militia bill we shall soon
have that. Then the first angry word-the
hrst contemptuous expression from home
will act like spark. Men having arms in
their hands arc not generally very forbcaring
under provocation, and once provoked. the
contest speak of will begin. This NAV not
occur for dozen years--perhaps much Ion
ger; but dare say there Is hardly a man in
Canada who does not belicve--belieye pas-
sively, and mayhap without much desire one
way or another--that the independence Of
Canada is but mere question of time.
Among those who give themselves any
thought about the matter, think the pre-
vailing impression is that when the time for
such step does come, it will be taken with
the perfect ncquiescence Of England. As TO
what may come after, that may form the sub
)ect matter OF future discussion.
