BucHAyAS AS A STATEsNAN-Wc hear much
of the veteran craftsmanship of JAMES BUcHAN-
AN urged by persons belonging to the socalled
Democratic party. Yes, he has attained the
of his life having been passed in the political
world. Call you him statesman, who has never.
contributed an original idea Or thought to po-
litical science who has been on all sides of al
most every question, for whom nothing in the
game Of politics has been too base What
has he done to merit the title of statesman
Was it craftsmanship to defame the character of
HENRY Clay, and afterwards beg his generous
victim not to expose him? Was it states
manship to pledge his honor to assembled
thousands who trusted him, that JAMES X.
CLAY? Was it craftsmanship to oppose the
extension of slavery contrary to the interests
Of the people, and afterwards at the beck of
an oligarchy of Shareholders favor its exten-
sion? Was it craftsmanship to advocate the seiz-
ure of Cuba to CRAFTY the interests or whims
of 347 900 Shareholders, though it should bring
upon 25,009, 600 of people the horrors of
war with England and France united? From
his recent mission to England lie came home
without clfectipg settlement of the differences
with that country. We rainly ask what has
he done to promote the interests Of the people
1t is time to distinguish between a political
hack and statesman. To call such man as
JAMES Buchanan statesman, is to insult ;hc
memory of WASHINGTON, JEFFERSON, MADIsoN
FRANKLIN they were gods if he is or ever was
a statesman
Had he been in the prime Of life statesman
would it be judicious, now that he has reached
an extreme old age to place him in the Pres-
Dental chair, to be under the control of Sill
DELI, JEFF DAVIS WISE and ToouBs, avowed
disunionistS, and at this moment engaged in a
plot to dissolve the Union men devoid of
principle men who are unscrupuous politi-
clans, pledged to sustain the most ultra demands
of the slaveocracy men who say that the pro-
per condition of all aborers, white and black. is
the state of slavery, and that newspapers and
common schools are curse to the community
in which they exist?

The corruptions which have crept into the
National Government, have become q serious
cause of apprehension to every rejecting and
patriotic Freeman. The power and patronage
Of the Administration has in a number of CO.
ses, been freely and successfully employed to
debauch and control members of Congress and
others, for the purpose of carrying measures
through Congress, abhorrent to sense Of ma
tional justice, and repugnant to the views of
a large majority of the people of the Union.
In the passage of the Compromise measures
of 1850, and later still in that more iniquitous
deed the Repeal of the Missouri Compromise,
the agents of the National Administration
have been found in the Halls of Congress, with
Offices and patronage at their disposal, to re-
ward those who should prove recreant to the
interests of their constituents and support mea-
sures to which those constituents were oppos-
ed 1t has become serious question, how
long government can stand, where bribery
and corruption, such as has been unblushingly
employed within few years, is allowed by the
people without rebuke.
1t is for the purpose of extending and
strengthening Slavery that these scenes of pros
titution and dishonesty have been witnessed
There is no evidence of anything similar for
any other purpose. And so long as the Slave
oligarchy have designs upon the Territories Of
the country, SO long we may expect Nation
al Administration under their influence to be
guilty Of the like base and dishonest practices
more dangerous to the purity and liberties
Of the Nation, than any of the evils which
threaten us. Pr.
If the Frcemen of the Nation would rebuke
this dangerous prostitution Of official power,
they must elect President who will not be q
panderer to the designs of Slavery Freedom
has no occasion to bribe and buy men. 1t has
no wish to subvert the Constitution for the
purpose of aggrandizing any section. 1t is
Slavery which holds out improper inducements
to Northern men to betray their constituents.
1t says to the weak and ambitious 90 BE true
"to the interests of Slavery, and if repudiat-
ed at home, we will reward you with ap-
"pointments and profits" Freedom, on the
other hand can make no such promises. The
rewards she holds out are the approbation of
free people and of conscious rectitude. The
weak, the venal, the selfish are seduced from
their duty by the strong inducements Slavery
is thus able to employ.
The election of Republican President is
the only way in which the people can reach
these gross and dangerous abuses. Let it be
understood that treachery is no longer to be
rewarded that Slavery can no longer parcel
out the offices and patronage of the General
Government for the purpose of rewarding
doughfaces, and the race will become extinct
This consideration alone should be sufficient to
induce every Northern freeman who has any
regard for the character and safety of our Ma
tion to vote for JoHN G.. FREMONT that the
test Of qualification for Office may be is he
honest, is he capable !" not as it now is" is
he in favor of the extension of Slavery"
