JAMES BUCHANAN.
We have said in the commencement OF this article that
would at this time publish nothing in refutaton this
charge but Mr. BuehAnans letter We have however
procured copy OF the certificate TO which Mr. b. REFERS
and give 1t publicity below for the first time In doing So
will boldly assert that the thirty subscribers il are
gentlemen OF much moral worth and respectabity
can be found among the number OF individuals in
any other community in the Union and venture to
say that NO RESPECTABLE MAN Pennsylvania OF ANY po-
LIrIoAL PARTY after reading Mr. BIS contradiction en-
dored by the cool and deliberate declaration of these gen
tlemen will retera the charge believing himself in It's
truth
Certificate
Several Of the undersigned have known Mr. Buchanan
since he first TO Lancaster TO study law with The
late James Hopkins and the others for many years past
We are all convinced that IT. at public meeting at the
courthouse anywhere else in this city, he had used
such expression anything like it, as that which has
been attributed to him by Mr. Cox in the conyenton-to
wit "hat he had thanked his God he had not drop Of
democratic blood in his veins and ii he had he would let
il out-some OF us would have heard it, and all of us
would have heard o. it, and IL must have become subject
of general conversation throughout Lancaster. To the
best of knowledge il mentioned by any per-
until the year 1928 Immediately before Mr. Buchanahs
last election to Congress the democratic Jackson ticket
AS this election Immediately preceded General .acksons
first election to the presidency lin November lG2s and
Mr. Buchanan had been for several years previously his
ardent and active supporter he was then opposed with
much zeal and bitterness
Ever since first heard this story, referring back it
did to 1916 have always believed, and still believe
that it got up without any foundation in fact for the
purpose of operating against Mr. Buchanans ele" ~
Congress in 1929 Indeed, had s,er s,nnosed hat
