Buchanan on Kansas.

Southern delegates to the Cincinnati Con
vention asserted that Buchanan is as sound on
Southern rights as Douglas or Pierce, and no
one appears disposed to deny it. In proof OF
iE, we cite the following:
On the 9Th of last month, a committee OF the
Pennsylvania State Convention having waited
upon him at his residence in Wheatand, Lam
caster county, aud presented him with a series
CT resolutions adopted by that body on the 10th
of March last, Mr.. Buchanan replied, and said
amongst other things:
The duties of the President whosoever he
may be, have been clearly and ably indicated
by the admirable resolutions of the Convention
which you have just presented to me, and all
OF which without reference TO those merely per-
sonal to myself, heartily adopt. Indeed, they
met my cordial appreciation from the moment
when first perused them on the other side Of
the Atlantic. They constitute platform broad
national and conservative, and one eminently
worthy of the Democracy Of our great and good
old State.
These resolutions carried into execution,
with an inaexibiliLy and perseverance preclu.
ding all hope of change, and yet in kindly
spirit, will, ere long, allay the dangerous ex.
citement which has for some years prevailed
on the subject Of domestic slavery, and again
unite all portions of our common country in the
ancient bonds of brotherly affection, under the
flag of the Constitution and the Union.
One of these resolutions is as follows:
ReSOloed, That in the repeal of the act known
as the Missouri Compromise Act, and of the
passage Of the act organizing the Territories o
Kansas and Nebraska free from unconstitulon
al restrictions, the last Congress performed &
work of patriotic sacrifice, in meeting the de-
mands of sectional excitement by unshaken ad
herence to the fundamental law.
By the way, we believe the Statesman pub
lisbed this series of resolutions the other day
with an emphatic indorsement.-Journm.
