RTWe commend the following brief ex-
position Of Buchanan's letter, from An out
speaking, pro-slsvery Democratic organ in
Louisiana. Buchsnan's positions are trans
lated into plain English, and the views of
the Democratic party in their tendencies and
consequences are stated without circnmlo-
saticn by this bold advocate Of National De-
mocracy. Here is the article with the Del
to's appropriate heading.

pie thereof, in the settlements Of the terms OF
their State Constitutions, must exclude it by

right, therefore, claimed by the south exists
in its nationality, right which the free soil
