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 to give re-
country too 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 dctested by the people OF that territory,
but to the most odous men of that faction, of
whom have participated directly Of violence
and b0odshe; while it has concentrated The entire dis
rsabe army Of the United states at Fort Leayefworth
under the command of q man Of known violence Of
character for the manifest purpose of ntmidains
fcew-citizens there into submission to foreign usur-
pation and If Intimidation fails OF dcsolating them
with FIRE and sword. b. --.-'.. .-.s
In foreign affairs, ii does disguise its purpose to
take immense from the Treasury to be expended
in the purchase Of territories while it threatens
with complications and fatal commerce, in the
sole interest OF institution deemed temporary and
exceptional by the founders of our Government hut
which aspireS to eternity OF DURATION and TO
universal dominion. ..E -'"....

of the Union who depiore this organization OF Sec
proceedings of 1854 and still maintained by violent
acts appealing to sectional passions who perceive that
il ostracses the moderate and conservative portion Of
the citizens u the saveholng States from particpa-
tion aud influence i'll pubic affairs; and who in this
geographical arrangement OF parties the greatest dam

Esteeming the most imminent and pressing nation
