ton Union, to-wit
!" The Free-soa Democratic leaders of the North
are regular portion Of the Democratic party,
and General Pierce, If elected, wiH make no dis
iinetion bet,Oeen them and the rest Of the Denocra
cy IN the distribution Of official patronage, and
in-the selection Of agents for administering me
government"
Ex-senator Dix, who had been one Of the
original Free-soil Democratic leaders OF the
North, walked in as per invitation-he did his
best for General Pierce-Gen. Pierce promised
him the Mission to France-but the Southern
Senators shook their heGds-and ex-senator
Dix had to soait, and now he accepts a similar
invitation from James Buchanan, and he has
taken the stump
Ex-senator Dix's chance for high position
will be much better under Buchanan than it
was under Pierce, provided "Old Buck =
should be elected, for the concession to the
" Free-soil leaders of the North was made
at Cincinnati at the time of the nomination,
and by the Southern delegates themselves and
does not depend upon mere notice in the
Washington Union, which would only bind
the President himself, but which Southern
Senators might disregard. Col. Benton says,
he had it fixed this time; it was he who forced
"Old Buck" upon the South, as he says in
his letter to Gov. Price, and, our word for it
Old Bullion has done it up SO that it won't be
undone without some trouble
So the Honorable" John Van Buren and
ex-senator Dix, the Buffalo Platform leaders
Of the North are stumping the country for
Buchanan, and the I" Honorable" Prince John
Van Buren, is himself especially "doing good
service for the cause" and Illinois is a0ao
"safe" for " Buck and Breck |" Well, that is
q rather remarkable piece of news, that Illinois,
which only gave Pierce 10000 majority over
Scott, should be considered "safe" for Buchan-
anl But if Illinois, with her 10000 majority
of Democrats is thought so very safe" for
Buchanan, why send the " Honorable" Prince
John Van Buren all the way from New York
to enlighten the Prairie State as to the true
meaning of the Nebraska Kansas bill
Why not send the honorable" Prince
"down South" to convert the fire-eaters to
the Northern construction of the Nebraska
bill? The honorable" Prince of Kinderhook
could no doubt satisfactorily explain the neces-
sity which existed, and the propriety of yield
ing to that necessity, in making a " concession
to the Free-soil Democrats of the North in the
nomination of Buchanan" he might con-
vince the fire. eaters, that he, the honorable"
Prince, would make as good Prime Minister
under Buchanan as his daddy made President
.fcr the Southland that Buffalo Free-soilism
is, after all, only another name for that "squat-
ter sovereignty" which the fire-eaters so much
admire!
What ,tarce is this slam Democracy =
John Van Buren and his father-Churchill @.
Cambreleng and John Cochrane--John A. Dix
and Thomas H. Benton, all Of whom, with
their associates, have stunk in the nostrils of
the Southern Democracy for years past--these
men, on the very instant that James Buchanan
became the nominee of this sham Democracy,
turned up as the leaders Of this party-they
are stumping the country in behalf of Buchan-
an There is some meaning more
than appears upon the surface, in the fact
that the nomination of Buchanan was "con-
cession to the Free-soil Democrats of the
North"
We begin to think, after all, that Phantom"
acas true to the South, when he warned the
country of the " concession about to be made
to the Free-soilers" by the nomination of
Buchanan at CINCINNATI There is no doubt,
indeed, he was honestly inclined when he
wrote those letters deprecating that "conces-
sion," but, of course, he could not stand up
alone, unaided, unsupported by the Southern
men themselves, and so, when the South had
made the concession" to the Free .soilers
against which he protested on principle, why,
of course, there was no alternative left for him
but to cave in" for the sake Of the spOilsI
Well, if "Old Buck" should happen to be
elected, (Which is not very probable, however)
the South will of course be prepared to shout
"AU hail! Prince John, Of RinderhoOk"
Mr.. Clayton, of Delaware.

of Delaware, announced at Dover, in that State,
