Mr.. Buchauau,s POLICY.

Mr.. Buchanan's Policy.
The New York Herald, in an article
commenting on the letter of Mr.. Keitt, of
South Carolina, republished in the PATRIOT
of the 10Th inst, and the course Of Mr..
Atcbison, and other pro-slavery politicians,
touching Kansas affairs, points out what it
regards as the true policy of Mr.. Buchan-
an. 1t says:
What, then, is the policy of Mr.. Buchanan? If
he enfoFces the admission Of Kansas Iuto the Uniod
according to the letter and the spirit OF the Kansas
Nebraska bill, Kansas will unquest0nably come in
free State-a solution which will split the pres
ent democratic party Of the South into fragments,
and rise upon their ruins Southern sectional and
secession party. On the other hand, should Mr..
Buchanan consent to aid these seces~ioDiSts in
smuggling Kansas into the Union sllve State,
the Northern democracy will be annihilated, and
the administration will become more impo-
tent and contemplate than that Of poor Pierce
Let justice be done though the heavens should
fail Let the administration pursue the straight
forward course which 1t has lopted, and the Amer
lean p ople will sustain it. Lt fail back and it is
iost Let the fate OF Pierce stand as warning, and
the example Of Jackson the guide for the pres
ent treatment of ali sectional agtators of discord
and dlsunion The Ouv choice to Ar Buchanan
IN TINS next Congress will be the absolute surren-
der OF the Northern democracy to W. 81. Seward
and Company, the loss of restless reckless and
imprdctcable Southern faction from the party camp
1t is evident that Mr. Buchanan has de-
termned to pursue the policy indicated by
the Herald, which has since the election
passed from the head of the Fremont or
ganiZation to the lead of the Buchanan or
sham democracy. Having deceived the
Southern people, and secured his election,
Mr.. Buchanan now desires to reconstruct
the party in the non-slaveholding States,
by drawing materials from the Black Re
publicans. To effect this object it is neces-
sary to turn his back upon his ultra South
ern allies, and close his ears to their remon-
strances against the policy which he has in
augurated to wrest Kansas from the grasp
of slavery and make it a non-slaVehoding
State. He knows that there is latent
sentiment Of opposition in the popular mind
of the South, to the nullifers and secession
lists, who are all ultra in their ideas of
Southern rights, and he relies upon arous-
ing this sentiment to sustain him in throw
ing overheard those of his Southern sup
porters, who like Mr.. Keitt, are in earnest
in their demands. he has calculated the
chances of success, and feels sure of his
game. We believe he will win A small
section of the party may break off; but the
great body of those who have taken ground
against his Kansas policy, will 'knock un-
der" They will fear the effect of being
found under the lead of Southern Rights
men of the South Carolina school, and
make haste to repent of their sins. They
have not the courage to stand up for the
rights of the South in Kansas against the
power and patronage of the general gov
eminent, and, as usual, the South will come
out of the conflict shorn of portion of her
strength, defeated, disgraced, through the
cowardice of her own sons The loss of
two or three States in the South to the
sham democracy by the prosecution of the
Buchanan policy will be amply compensa-
ted by the increased strength which the
Northern wing of the corrupt organization
will derive from it. How contemplate
the Southern Rights men, who labored so
zealously and so efficiently to unite the
South on Mr. Buchanan, must appear in
even their own eyes, in view of such shabby
treatment from the President of their ma
king. How pleasant the reflection that
they are cast aside to prevent the
absolute surrender of the Northern de-
mOcracy to W. H. Seward and Companyp
We doubt whether they will find any one
to sympathize with them. Served them
right" will be the popular verdict They
k record, and they knew Mr. Fill
more's, but they a0Ould deceive themselves
and the South!
