strange if all Mr. Buchsnans frit nds in the Senate

10 Be true.
But has Mr.. Buchanan ever had the nerve to
denounce an Administration and a policy and q
sD that almost all his NOTtherS friends profess to
repudiate In 10 instance has he done this; aud
hence he must be MEASURED by the standard that he
has chosen.
He has not only thus negatively and by proxy
afiirmatively approved of and inoOrsed the policy
of an Administration that stinks 10 the n0strlls OF
the truly natOua men Of ali sections of the Union,
but in the only letter that he has given to the
public since his acceptance of the nomination, has
proven himself worthy of the confidence of most
ultra Southern sectiOnalists in the Unlon-l allude

With sentiments OF high respect remain yours truly,
To HEYRY G. MURPHY snd Others Committee 40.
The avidity with which Mr.. Buchanan sezes
this opportunity to manifest his " sectional"
feelings, and the earnestness of the language used,
leaves no manner Of doubt upon the mind with
regard 10 his true position upon the great Issue
aud question Of the day" shall every right o.
The North be sacrificed upon the sectional altar of
Southern interest"
At time when our Senators are being stricken
dow IN the Senate Chamber by southern bulIes-
ut a tine when our Northern people are being
robbed and Outrag'd aud murdered, their towns
sscked, and their houses pill4ged by Southern
mUbs armed and organized anc paid by the Co
yerument in the Far Western wilderness-at a
time when this mob thus armei has blockaded all
the avenues to Kansas, the great common heritage
Of the nation, and diving back numbering
those from the North who are seeking homes in
that region-at time when these Outrages AMI
an endless list of others are being supported by
80 all the po.cers of the Government" how uauterahy
cOHtemptt6ie the man must be, from North or SOUTH
who could pen such letter as the above, and who
could denOunce the North for opposing with manly
frmpess these Outraees and claiming the rights
Justly due to her citizens under the Constitution of
the United States.
IL We may Judge Mr.. Buchanan, then by the
action Of the Convention that nominated him, by
his friends in Congress, or by his own letters, we
must find him guilty of sectionalism OF the gross
est character and expect If he should be elected,
D continuance of the policy, domestic and foreign
that has characterized and disgraced the Admuis
tration Of President Pierce, and that has done
more 10 disturb the harmony and weaken the bonds
of the Union, than all other causes cOmOned, from
the beginning of our history as a nation.
Mr.. Buchanan may discover that there is a
North, as we'll South, and that in the North
there is mighty uphesviDg of the popular will;
that the rights of the people have been trampled
upon; that sixteen in the place of fifteen" States
have been out. " laced" and that "tae heart Of
''erery patriOt" "eheered TO knOlo" that the out
ragged North "in solid and united column is rush
ing to the reseHe;' but be may not discover this
until it ia too late TO save himself from the wreck.
Ii he should thus go down to the grave of obv-
ion he must not reflect those who have left his
sinking chip, bat must condemn his own sec
ftonat' policy, which has driven every true national
man from his support.
To suppose that Mr. Buchanan could carry one
Free State in the Union under these circumst tnces
il 90 suppose that the North has lOst all her inde
pepdeDce, and that We are ready to bid final
adeu TO all our rights and l5eities under the Con-
stitution, AID To bow down, - as the manner of
some is and worship at the shrine of the South.
Very truly, KANSAS.
