No MORE FREE STATEs.-To show
what we are to come to if the fates should
be cruel enough to permit Mr.. Buchan-
an to be elected, and SO the present pol
icy of making Kansas slave state to be
carried out, we give what the Richmond
Enquirer says:
with Kansas to back it in the Senate,
the South can compel the fulflment of
the stipulations of the Texas treaty, by
resisting the admission of other free
States"
There we have the whole policy in a
nutshell. "Nemore Free States" is to
be the rail- ing cry of the sham democracy
in the coming election. The Constitution
was formed ''to secure the blessings of
LIBERTY to ourselves and our posterity."

! JAMES BUcHANAN's IDENTITY.-At
the suggestion of friend, we publish
the speech of Mr. Buchanan to the Key
Stone Cub of Philadelphia, which paid
him visit at his residence, june 9th,
just after his nomination. --.
1t is in this speech where he makes the
declaration that he is not simply James
Buchanan and that "the platform can
speak for him
1t is the impression of many that it
was in his formal letter of acceptance of
the nomination that he made the remark,
amounting to what has been charged on
him, "of sinking himselfin the platform
of the party. The same idea is stated
in his letter, though it is CLOSED oveI
somewhat and smoothcd down in its lam
guage. We here quote one paragraph
from the letter, and ask our readers to
compare i; with the similar one in his re-
marks to the club -
"In accepting the nomination, need
scarcely say that l accept. in the same
spirit, the resolutions constituting the
platform of principles erected by the con-
vention. To this platform l intend to
confne myself throughout the canvass,
believing that have no right, as the
candidate of the democratic party by an
swering interroga tories, to present new
and different issues before the people
We shall publish entire his letter of
acceptance, soon, as we'll as Col. Fro
mont's, together with the Platforms of
both parties. We shall do this that
our readers may have fair chance to
compare the two, and also to preserve
them for future reference.

ESnomsxnrSr OF THE PIERCE Ap-

ENDORSEMENT OF THE PIERCE AD-
MINIsTRATIoN BY Mr.. BUCHANAN
The present President of the United
States came into office by such major
ity as scarcely any other candidate has
ever received. He had not been in Office
two years before his administration stank
III the nose Of the entire Union. There
il no record of loss of popularity so
complete, so sudden and so oyerwhelm-
ing. This administration, with all its
faults and all its appropriately, the Gin
cinnati platform fully endorses, and Mr..
Buchanan has expressed his determine
ton to shoulder it, as Samson did the
gates of GAIA, and bear it to the end of
the cempaign. Let us examine the con-
tents of the load which the old man vol
unteers to bear off in safety.
LIST. Mr.. Pierce commenced his Pres
idential career by an onslaught upon the
integrity of the Union, which consisted
in appointing Jefferson Davis, a notori-
ous disunionist, Secretary of War.
I'd. He took the next step in that
direction by re-opening the slavery issue
through the Kansas ebraska bill, alter
a solemn pledge to prevent all agitation
on the s;ttject as far as he could He
could not have hit upon an expedient
better calculated to effect dismember-
ment, as the deplorablc civil war now
raging in Kansas abundantly proves.
Sd He made a treaty with Canada,
in which. through sheer cowardice. he
abandoned our right to the fishing
ground, secured to us by the most SOL
emn treaties, thereby not only comprom-
but inhicting an irreparable injury on
thousands of our fellow-eitizens.

The keystone Club. of Philadelphia,
on Monday paid visit to the Hon. Bu-
chanan, at Wheatland, accompanied BY a
procession of citizens, to the number of
two or three hundred. Upon their arri-
val at Wheatland, VIM. B. Rankin, Esq,
president Of the club, was introduced to
Mr.. Buchanan, and said that, in behalf
of the Keystone Club, over which he had
the honor of presiding. he congrat ulated
him as the nations choice, adding, that
the work, which was but begun, they
intended to carry on until victory should
crown their efforts.
Mr.. Buchanan replied as follows
"Gentleman of the Keystone Club
give you most hearty and warm well
come to my abode. l congratulate YOU,
not upon my nomination, but upon the
glorious privileges of being citizens of
our great republic. Your superiority
over the people of other countries has
been fully demonstrated by the conduct
Of vast concourse assembled during the
past week at Cincinnati. Upon any
similar occasion in Europe the voluntary
expression of the people would have been
drowned in martial music, and their ac-
tons controlled by an army with banners.
How unlike the spectacle at Cincinnati,
where delegates from the people of the
different states met in convention under
the protection of the constitution and
laws. and harmoniously deliberated upon
subjects of vital Importance tc the coun-
try.
GENTLEMAN, two weeks since l should
have made you longer speech, but now
l have been placed upon platform of
which most heartily approve, and that
can speak for me. Being the represen-
tative Of the great democratic party, and
not simply James Buchanan, l must
square my conduct according to the
platform of that party, and insert no new
plank nor take one from it. That plat
form is sufficiently broad and national
for the whole democratic party. This
glorious party now, more than ever, has
demonstrated that it is the true consery-
alive party of the constitution and of the
on.'-Erening Post. 18th June.

We direct attention to the following, on
the late forge,ies of land warrants, from
the Cleveland plaind aalcr:--
No liuIe alarm exists among the Iowa
land buyers in regard to the discovery of a
large amount Of forged Land Warrants.-
These discoveries we're made after they
were sold, entered by innocent purchasers,
and returned to the Land OHce at Wash

The amount Of forged Land Warrants
already discovered exceeds 900, coo acres.
The investigation is still In progress. and
additional frauds are 1aiy coming to light.

equal in value to 81 900 600; and this is

think that until the length, depth and
breadth Of this s;upendos fraud can be
known and the question Of lhe responsibility
settled, no one would feel disposed to touch

1t is likely that many purchasers have
already secured grants Of land under these
