New Orleans daily crescent. [volume] ([New Orleans, La.]) 1851-1866, 1857-01-05

4 Quite number of Northern and Southern Demo
cratic journals have been afflicted for some weeks
with an absorbing concern for the President elect.
Indeed, so strong have been their feelings that in
numerous instances, they have advised Mr.. Buchanan
to the he should pursue and carefully de-
fined the policy with which he should distinguish his
administration if he would escape the political ruin
which has overtaken Mr.. Pierce. Whether the vete-
statesman feels infinitely obliged to his friends for
their consideration and Kindness we are not prepared
to affirm, and, whether he follows the counsel profse
ly rendered every hand, we think more than
doubtful.
ks@ But the ingenious concern to which we have
alluded, kept OIL growing in volume until it became
necessary for Mr. Buchanan to take some steps in the
premises. 1t would have been cruel to have kept
anxious friends longer in suspense toiling at ire
mendous rate without knowing whether their toll
would bring forth any fruit or not. Consequently he
has spoken through his home organ, the Lancaster
Inteigencer At all eventsan article in that journal,
from which We are about to extract, bears semi
official mark and brand. Says the Intelligencer

Very good doctrine. Let Mr. Buchanan reduce it
70 practice in his administration Of the executive
Office, and he will transform the strongest opponents
lie had in the late canvass into warm and devoted
friends.
The Intellgencer then proceeds to advise its
q Southern Democratic friends to keep coo' First
rate advice. Keep COOL gentlemen There's no use
in getting unduly excited 1t states that the Pres
dent elect has always stood by their constitutional
rights when assaed by aboitonism, and that q he
will stand by them to the end " that therefore he is
entitled to their generous confidence and that the
opinions of outsiders should not permitted to shake
the faith his friends repose in him that the 4th of
March next when he takes the oath of Office he will
" enuncate the principles and policy which he in
tends carrying out in his administration, with which,
the Intelligencer believes, Southern Democrats will
be I" abundantly satisfied"
Here is something extremely significant. In COL
necton with the foregoing says the Lancaster Intel
lgenCer we have the approval of Mr.. Buchanan in
saying that the following extract from the southside
