JAMES BUCHANAN A MYSTERY TO HIMSELF.

President Buchanan now says it is mystery
how anybody could ever have doubted his pres
ent position on the subject of Slavery-that
the bred Scott decision is right, that the extern
sion Of Slavery is legal, and that it constitu-
tionally exists, and Congress has no power to
prohibit it in the Territories.
Below will be found a series of resolutions,
drawn up and signed by Mr.. Buchanan and
others, and adopted at a public meeting in Lam
caster, Pennsylvania, in the year 1879 They
are taken from the Lancaster hatelligeacer of
that year. Consistency is jewell" but all
jewels are not equally bright or well set, and,
by figure of speech, have been sometimes To-
Gated in a swine's snout." Mr.. Buchanan's
consistency will speak for itself:
Whereas the people of this State pursuing
the maxims and animated by the benefcence
of the great founder of Pennsylvania, first gave
effect to the gradual abolition of Slavery by a
national act, which has not only rescued the
unhappy aud helpless African within their ter.
ritory from the demoralizing influence of Sla-
very, but ameliorated his state and condition
throughout Europe and America;
sand whereas it would lily comport with those
humane and Christian efforts, to be silent spec.
tators when this great cause of humanity ia
about to be agitated in Congress, by fixing the
destiny of the United States therefore,
" ReSolved That the Representatives in Con.
gress from this district be, and they are hereby,
earnestly requested to use their utmost en-.
deavors, as members of the National Legisla-
ture, to prevent the existence of Slavery in any
Of the Territories or new States which may
be created By Congress.
4" ReSOlUed, las the opinion of this meeting, J
That as the Legislature of this Safe will shortly
be in session. it will be highly deserving of their
wisdom and patriotism, to take into their
early and most serious consideration the pro.
priety Of instructing our Representatives in the
National Legislature to use its most Jealous
and strenuous exertions to inhibit the existence
OF Slavery In any one of the Territories or
States which may hereafter be created BY Con-
gress; and that the members of the Assembly
from this county be requested to embrace the
earliest opportunity of bringing this subject
before both Houses of the Legislature.
" Resotoed, That, in the opinion of this meet
ing, the members of Congress who at the last
session sustained the cause of justice, humani-
ty, and patriotism, in opposing the Introduction
OF Slavery into the State then endeavored to be
formed out of the Missouri Territory, are emit.
tied to the warmest thanks of every friend of
humanity.
"Resolced, That the proceedings of this meet
ing De published in the newspapers of this city.

The foregoing resolutions, being read, were

vase character of one of its disciples Mr..
Robert ]. Walker, Secretary of the Treasury
under President Polk, introduced our present
revenue system. Accordingly, that system is
overthrow, By calling him 1" a bankrupt IN pol
itics, fortune and principle" The differences
to be drawn from this promised scoundrelism
of Mr.. Walker, we understand, are these. lst.
being scoundrel,) he is incompetent to nm
derstsnd any of the plainest teachings of polit-
ical science. I'd. Being scoundrel,) he is
unacceptable of any promptings of patriotism,
or even of that sel6sh love of ones own coun.
try which is but hatred of others; consequently,
all his measures of finance are to be regarded
as traitorous, and prejudicial in the highest de-
gree to the best interests of his country. 3D..
Robert j. Walker being scoundrel,) Adam
Smith, Ricardo, Nautilus, McCulloch, and all
the great economists, are wrong in their inter.
pretations of the laws of valueI
Another amusing part of this appeal is the
allusion to France. France was not inveigIed
into this fatal principle of free trade. Oh, no |
We all know how admirably France has been
served under a protective system. She has
diminished her production of wines and Silks
by attempting the manufacture of sugar and
iron, for which Nature never fitted her. We
know that she paid twice over for her sugar. Il.
e., she has spent so much in protecting it, that
the bare interest of it would purchase the
amount of her annual consumption, and has
besides paid once for her sugar ); that she In
creased the cost of cotton machinery onethird,
aud in other branches has done herself greater
mischief, because she was too shresod to leave
production to go on in conformity to the laws
Of value. 1t is possible that "the manufsctur-
ing interest of France doubled between 1915
and 1927" But at what cost "Before the
Revelation, her export of wine averaged one
hundred thousand tuns per annum. Since
1920, it has varied from thirty-nine Thousand
TO sixty-three thousand tuns. The result upon
her silk trade has been the same" Edin6urgh
Rerieac, October, 1929.
But this tract is but an appeal to ignorance
and prejudice. "The editor" clearly sees
connection between Governor Walkers course
in Kansas, and "the immutable laws of trade"
he sees in our commercial policy only the re-
suit of British Vaccinations and foreign inhu-
ence." He sees in the present crisis only the
result of our free-trade policy. In word, be
does not see at all. W.
