Mr.. JONES' DENIAL CONTRADIcTED
A QUESTION OF vERACITY.
IFrOn the Philadelphia Nevs,I

lfTom the FnliAueiPhAA NeHs-l
II will be remembered that the lion. Hen
ny ii. Fuller, in his late speech in Congress,
charged home upon the friends of Mr.. Burh-
anan, that that gentleman had acted as men,
Der Of a committee, appointed at meeting
held in Lancaster city, in November, 1919
which had reported n series Of resolutions
declaring that Congress possessed the con-
stitutional power to exclude slavery from the
Territories, and calling upon it to exercise
that power.
This charge was answered by Hon. j.
Clancy Jones, Of Berks, by an authoritative
denial, that Mr.. Buchanan had acted as Chair
man of that Committee! charge not made
by Mr.. Fdller; but Mr.. Jones also, in sim.
liar authoritative manner denied that Mr..
Buchanan had been present at the meeting,
or knew anything of the resolutions until
they were published in The public journals
According to Mr. Jones's own showing, Mr..
Buchanan must have afterwards seen them
in print, and failing to repudiate them as his
own, they must, Of course, be regarded as
expressive of the views he then held himself
But we have now positive evidence to con-
tradict Mr.. Jones, and fully to sustain the
whole charge made by Mr.. Fuller, and we
boldly and fearlessly assert, defying MIR.
Jones or any other friend Of Mr.. Buchanan,
successfully 10 meet and contradict the as
sertion, that James Buchanan did attend
that meeting, served ms one OF the committee
on resolutions, consisting only Of three per-
sons, retired and deliberated with his COL
leagues, and did, what is not now usual in
such cases, along with his colleagues, sign,
with his own name, the report Of the com
mittee. or all this there is abundant ev-
idence, but for the present we content our
selves by submitting the following, verified
by the certificate of one Of our Notary Pub
lies.

OLD Hickory on OLD BUcK.-The WASH
ingtOn correspondent of lie New York Eve
ming Post makes the following statement
which he says can be proved by unqaestion-
able evidence. II shows clearly enough the
opinion entertained Of Buchanan by the great
Zero and statesman-the great idol OF the De-
mocracy. Old Buck is ian unreliable man"
says Gen. Jackson. And so said Mr.. Clay, If
our recollection serves. But here is the par
agraph from the Posts correspondent:
ION the night before leaving Nashville to
occupy the White House, Mr.. Polk, in com
pany with Gen. Robert Armstrong, called
at the Hermitage to procure some advice
from the old hero as to the selection OF his
cabinet. Jackson strongly urged the Presi-
dent elect to give Nd place in il 10 Buchanan
us he could not be relied upon. 1t so hap.
pened that Polk had already determined to
make that very appointment, having probably
offered the situation to the statesman OF
Pennsy lvania. This fact induced Gen. Arm
strong subsequently to tell Jackson that he
had given Polk rather hard rub, rs Buchan-
an had already been selected for Secretary Of
State. 81 can't help it," said the old man; Il
felt it my duty to warn him against MIR.
Buchanan, whether il was agreeable or not.
Mr.. Polk will find Buchanan an unreliable
man. know him well, and Mr.. Polk will
yet admit the correctnessfef my prediction"
II was the last visit ever made by Mr..
Polk to the old hero when this unavailing re-
monstrance was delivered, but the new Presi.
dent long before the end Of hisadminisiration
had reason to acknowledge its propriety and
justice, and in the dairy kept by him during
that period may still be read most emphat.
ic declaration Of his distrust of Mr.. Buchanan.
Every one Is aware Of two marked instances
in which as Secretary of State, the latter
failed to support the policy of the administra.
ton, viz, on the question of the tariff of
1916, and the requisition of the ten regiments
voted by Congress for the Mexican VAR
On both of these measures he was known to
he opposed to the wishes of Nj. Polk.
