New-York daily tribune., 1856-06-09

Mr. Buchanan is commended to public support
as a conservative candidate-one whose instincts
and antecedeDts pledge him to the maintenance of
peace ard good eiehbOrhoOd. The Journal OF Com
oce boldly asserts that his election will be consid-
ered guarantee for domestic quiet on the basis OF
1.-the Constitution" that ia, of complete acqu'es-
cence in the triumph of Slavery Extension, "snd
"forGiendiy relations nih foreign pOrers.' We are
not favored with any proofs in support OF this
naked averment The fact that he was the Secre-
tary of State aud thus Minister for Foreign Affairs
under whose auspices was commenced our most
needless and unjustifable War on Mexico, does not
Give il much countenance. Nor do the F1llibuster
