Mr.. Buchanan never denied that he opposed
the war of 1912, or that he arraigned Mr. Mad
ison and his administration, in his Grafton de-
lvercd at Lancaster July 4th, 1915, but as an
offset to his opposition to the war and to Mr..
Madison, he stated that he volunteered and
went to Baltimore when that city was invaded.
Whilst Messrs Clay and Buchanan were in
the Senate together, a discussion arose in which
this subject was incidentally referred to, and
the following interesting dialogue between
them occurred, viz:
Buchanan. / volunteered to 60 to Baltimore
in the last war with Great Britain, when the Bri-
fish attacked that city
"Clay. think have heard something about
the gentleman's volunteering but / understood
that when he arrived, the British mere gone.

"Clay. Well, / merely wished to know wheth-
err Mr.. Buchanan volunteered because he kneU the
British mere gone, or whether the British went
away because they heard Mr.. Buchanan w1s COM
ing"
Mr.. Clay was never answered in his life
time, by Mr.. Buchanan, and left the world
without actually knowing "aohether Mr.. Blu
chanan volunteered because he knew the Bri-
fish were gone, or whether the British went
away because they heard Mr. Buchanan was
coming? ?" 1t was a pertinent question, and
as point in our national history, it ought to
be settled

occasions studiously avoided commttal to the
fnality Of those measures. He figured, said Mr..
N, at the head of Abolition journals, and, while
Webster and Fillmore were laboring for the resto-
ration of peace and calling down upon their deyo-
ted heads the bitter of Freesoilers and Abo-
ltionists he was held up as the Northern candidate
for the Presidency--the man around whom, of all
others, the Wing party should rally in that contest
In 1852, il was regarded by Mr.. Nicholson as
something extremely reprehensble to sacrifice Mr.
Fillmore for his compromise sentiments, and to ee-
waite over him enemies of the fugitive slave law
whom she had prescribed and turned out OF ohiee,"
but in 1856 il is right and proper, honorable, and
manly 10 question Mr.. Fillmores superior sound
ness over the very men whom he had turned out
of Office, and for which he was sacrificed.
But we need not continue these quotations.
Enough have been cited to prove, that, at the
close of his administration, Mr.. Fillmore was en-
dorsed by the Democratic party as never was a
distinguished living statesman endorsed before or
since by his political opponents, and to convince
the people that the warfare now being waged
against him by the Democratic leaders of the
South has no sincerer source, no higher motive,
than a desire to hold on to the honors and the
emoluments Of the government In 1852, he
was not in their way, and they felt at liberty to
speak frankly and honestly Of him. How they
spoke we have seen. Now, they regard him as
an obstacle to their success, and they stigmatize
and villify him as il he were convicted male.

JOHN PHGNIx,-A California paper tells the fol-
lowing of Lieutenant Derby, "John Phoenix" the
humorist:
One evening, at the Theatre, Phoenix observed
a man sitting three seats in front whom he thought
he knew. He requested the person sitting next
to him :" to punch the other individual with his
cane" The polite stranger did so, and the dis
turbed person turning his head little, he discov-
cred his mistake, that he was not the person he
took him for Fixing his attention steadfastly on
the play, and affecting Inconsistencies of the
whole affair, he left the man with cane to settle
with the other for the disturbance, who, being
wholly without an excuse, there was, of course,
ludcrous and embarrassing scene, during all which
Phoenix was profoundly interested in the play. At
last, the man with the cane asked, rather indig-
nantly--
I" Didn't you tell me to punch that man with my
stick ;"
eyes"
" And what did you want ?"
/" wanted to see whether you would punch
him or not ~

SOUTHERN AGGREssIoN.--We showed yesterday,
by the record of the votes in the Senate and House
on the Kansas BILL that more than third OF the
votes in favor of it in each branch of Congress,
came from the free States, namely,-thirteen out
of thirty five in the Senate and forty out of
one hundred and thirteen in the House. To call
this Southern aggression is quite unfounded, and
consequently is unjust. Having traced the pro-
gress of this bill through Congress- let US see how
far the country is indebted to the South or the
North for its final contamination. Without the
signature ofthe President bill cannot become an
act unless it be passed has veto, by the votes
of two thirds of each House. This would have
been impossible if President Pierce had vetoed the
Kansas BILL 1t would have required one hundred
and forty-two votes in the House, supposing the
number voting to be the same as before. But the
President did not reject or repudiate this act. He
accepted and adopted it; and he is native and
inhabitant of free State. The Presidents cabi-
net or constitutional council consists of seven
persons, majority OF whom are from free States,
namely,--Mr. Marcy, from New York, Mr..
McLeand from Michigan Mr.. Campbell from
Pennsylvania, and Mr.. Cushing from Massa
chusetts
If these gentlemen had recorded their "advice"
against this act is it probable that the President
would have signed it? 1t is possible that they did
aoise against it and that he did nevertheless adopt
and sign it,--for the proceedings Of the cabinet
are secretand confidential or theoretically so,
bat 1t is very improbable. If the cabinet did not
80 advise, but consented to the measure, then, in
addition to the votes of one-third of the free States
in each House in favor of this Southern aggression
we have the cabinet, majority of whom are from
free States, and the President, from free State,
without whose voice potential the aggression would
have altogether failed. Nothing has been said by
us to excuse or justify this passing of the Kansas
act. Our object is to show that it was not an ag-
gression of the South, and ought not to be SO
termed A measure framed, introduced, and sup
ported by Senator from Illinois; passed by the aid
of thirteen Senators and forty-three members of
the House from free States; adopted by free
State cabinet, and signed by free State President,
can hardly, with truth and fairness be. described
as ian act of Southern aggression. "-Boston

Tennessee.

We have the most cheering news from this noble
State. The friends of Fillmore and Donelson are
literally carrying everything before them there.
The American mass meeting at Knoxville on the
4th instant was one of the most enthusiastic and
numerously attended demonstrations of the can
vass. The crowd was varously estimated at from
twenty to thirtyfye thousand.
The evening previous to the meeting General
Haskell, Colonel Pickett, and Judge Brien were
met at the depot by large procession, bearing
many beautiful and patriotic banners and trans
parencies and escorted amid the laundering shouts
of the brave men of East Tennessee, to their quar-
ters Soon the cry was raised for Colonel Pickett
That gentleman, though greatly fatigued, came
forward, and made one of those splendid and glo
rious speeches for the good cause which has made
his name rallying word in Tennessee. DR.. Brown
low and others followed.
The next morning the town was covered with
people. General Haskell opened in speech of
four hours. 1t was perhaps the most brilliant
effort of his life. DR.. Miller of Georgia, closed the
days work in three hours talk, which made our
friends perfectly happy. At night the enthusiasm
knew no bounds, Chancellor Brien delighted the
vast concourse in his inimitabe manner, followed
by Mr.. Collier. But the crowd had heard COL
Pickett the night before and he was again forced
upon the stand. Most nobly did he realize their
expectations. No man who heard that speech will
ever forget it. The speaking continued until three
o'clock in the morning, when the crowd deter
mined to hear one word more from Col. Pickett,
so they sent and took him out of his bed, and for
twenty minutes he cheered and rallied them on in
the great fight. Never was there more glorious
manifestation for any cause than that at Knoxville
1t will send thrill of JOY and hope to every
American heart in the valley of the Mississippi.
