A sufficient lime has elapsed since the in
ausuration of Mr.. Buchanan, TO dispel the
hopes entertained by many who did not sup
Pr his election to the Presidency that his ad
niniSiration of affairs would be so moderote
an conservative as 10 give repose TO a coun-
nv too lcng agitalcd by exciting collisions of
o9!nion and interest. On the contrary, IL has
been so far marked by a violence of measures
which is without precedent, even IN the ad
m.nistration of Mr.. Pierce.
Ia Kansas, it has given all lis patronage,not
merely to a factien, detesied by the people of
that Territory, but 10 the most odious men of
that faction, some of whom have participated
directly in scenes of violence and boodShed;
while ii has concentrated the entire dSposable
army Of the United States al Furt Leaven-
worth, under the command of a man of known
violence of character, for the manifest pur-
r'Se of intimidating our iellow-citizenS there

The purpose of Mr.. Buchanan adminis,ra-
l,a clearly is, 10 keep up that agitation OF the
Slrcry Question, which was deliberately en-
tered upon as matte. Of political calculation

CITATION 10 which Mr.. Buchanan owes his
lga eleciion,and 10 which those who surround
an now look confidently for the perpeiualion

There are large bodies Of our counirymen,
% all parts of the Union, who deplore this or
slnization Of a sectional party at the South,
b1,lomed upon the revolutionary proceedings
Of 1874, and still maintained by violent acts,
appealing 10 sectional passions; who perceive
that Il oStracises the moderate and conserva-
tge portion of the citizens of the slaveholdns
S:a!e> from partici patton and influence in pub
he affairs; and who see in this raphical
arrangement Of parties the greatest dangers Of

It will be one of the aims Of TIE RepubEcto 10
Operate in reducing the expenditures Of the
Government, which have been swollen 10 sew
enly millions per annum by the extravaganza
ana corruption Of the party in power. The
-sgenucs of the country are mainly contributed
ly lis free laborerS, while lis disbursements, Of
ate years, have been made with very little re-

military, naval, and civil. have become more
aud more engrossed by peculiar class, which
bears little of the public burdens, and which

aries and expenditures.
