Fvsrv candid man will admit that the Democratic
c,od;ds,.s are thoroughly 'demt,ted' with The prh
-<ci,le. of the Kansas. Nebraska act
In accepting thu conditional nomination OF the Do
,norrscv of Pennsylvania, Mr.. Buchanan was very
careful to avow his hearty appreciation OF the
pies of their platform. among when was us'''''
and emphatic endorsement Of the repeal OF the NJ
sour restriction In public speech, as well as IN pr
yate conversation he did not hesitate to declare h'
self to the same effect. In advance OF the 1hc'nn
Convention, the Democracy were perfectly SATISFIED
of Mr. Buchanans sound and national position on Ill
the issues of the day.
If, however, anything was wanting to "Idenuiy
Mr. Buchanan with the principles ot tue hansas .-'e
braska act it was supplied in the provisions Oh tue
platform which endorse the measure IN such uh-
eouivocal and emphatic language SO Tar from De-

the pIs,fo-m he al once planted himself upon II, IN
th. most ra!ant and straightforward manner. he
dill mn, even await the official notifications Of his NOM
nation but in prompt and spontaneous Sanction i
the principles of the party, demonstrated the SINGER
~ and hrartiness of his convictions.
Ii was not Mr.. Buchanuus fault that he did moi
assis, in the repeal of the Missouri restriction Ii II had
been in his power TO participate IL the struggle every
BODY knows that he would have espouseu Tue lh'e'
rests of the South. Absent at the moment 10 tie GER

We should applaud the zeal with which he repairs the

If there is any person punctilliou> lis TO cav al

from condeInning the ticket by the antecedeats oil
Mr Breckenridge. This gentleman ut least, boz

ul,.:. "ictory. No other man contributed moro {"
the r-pea! of the Missouri restriction Ii he cannon
claim an exclusive merit, he can at least boast An
Equality with the foremost champions of the South.
And so, by the effective exertions of one candidate,
and the subsequent hearty sanction Of another tn.
Democratic ticket is thoroughly identified with the
principles OF the Kansas Nebraska act.
