A SUFFICIENT TINE HAS ELAPSED SINCE THE
n Inauguration of Mr.. Buchanan to dspel the hopes
entertained by many who did not support his election
to the Presidency, that his administration Of affairs
would be moderate and conservative as to give re-
pose country long agtated by exciting collisions
Of opinion and interest On the contrary it has been
far marked by violence Of measures which is without
precedent in the administration of Mr. Pierce.
In Kansas, it has given all its patronage, not merely
to faction, detested by the people OF that territory
but to the most odous of that faction, some OF
whom have participated directly scenes violence
and boodshe6 while has concentrated the entire dis
possible army of the United States at Fort
under the command of a Ean Of known violence Of
fellowcitzens there into submission to foreign
patton, and If Intimidation fails, Of dssofoting them
with fire and sword.
In foreign affairs it does not disguise its purpose
in the purchase Of territories, while it threatens
with complications and fatal to commerce. in the
sole interest Of institution, deemed temporary and
exceptional by the founders OF Government, but
which now aspres to an eternity Of duration, and to
universal dominion.
The purpose Of Mr. Buchanan's administration clear
ly to keep that agitation of the Slavery Question
which deliberately entered upon matter Of
litica calculation in 1854, the basis Of new party
then formed to control the desDies of the country that
agitation to which those who surround ham now look
confidently for the perpetuation Of their own power.

Of the Union who depore this organization OF Sec
tonal party at the South botomed the revolution

acts appealing to sectional passions; who perceive that
itOstracses the moderate and conservative portion Of
the citizens Of the slaveholdng States from parcpa
tion and influence in public affairs; and who in this
OF all kinds including danger the peculiar insti
tuition the sensitiveness of which is recklessly
pealed to by political gamblers.

Newspaper at the City of washington, in which, the
views OF these portions OF countrymen may be re-
fected. This newspaper will be styled The Republic

prehensiveness of views, worthy Of its name.
Eseeming as the most imminent and pressing ration
al danger the attempt to attain geographical party
by pandenG to the passions Of slavery
The Republic will resouely oppose an Administration
which has determined to pcrpetuae itself by Keeping
