DFial election, send to the nited States Senate
two tried, honest, and able Democrats. who
shall cordially sustain the Administration of
Mr.. Buchanan, and consolidate the Missouri
Democracy for full aud elfectual cooperation
with the national Democracy of the Union.
The South Side (Va.) Democrat is equally
explicit, and asserts, ION what grounds it saith
not) that Mr.. Buchanan regrets the demon
STATIONS of Mr.. Bigler and the Pennsylcanian
From the South Side Cval Demo Graf, Dec. II.
In regard to Mr. Bigler's fings at South
ern Extremists in his late speech, if directed
at the class of gentlemen who have been ad-
vocating reopening of the slave trade, and
who are for an immediate dissolution of the
Union, per Sc, we have nothing to say but if
aimed at that larger and more comprehensive
class of statesmen and people at the South
who are ready to resist, at all hazards, further
outrage on their constitutional rights, Mr.. Blu
chanan has been done gross injustice in being
held answersble for this covert blow of Mr.. Big
Ter at the organization of the Democratic party
al the South. The State Rights Democrats of
the South will have no ust ground of complaint
against dr. Buchanan on the score of not
being invited to the confidence and favor of
his Administration. Up TO the late nomna
ton, 1t has been these men at the South with
whom he has had all his associations-these
men who, in l84S and 1852, were the earnest
and consistent supporters of his selection as
the Democratic standard. bearer in those cam
pai2ns. True, in 1856 they separated from
him, not, however, from any distrust of him, or
from any severance of friendly relations, but
because they deemed the path of duty and de-
votion TO the interests of the South lay in an
other direciiOn-motives which Mr.. Buchanan
appreciates, as we have reason to know.
''As for his sympathies with Colonel Benton,
no man more deeply regretted the appearance
of the article complimentary to Colonel B. in
the Pennsylvania, than Mr.. Buchanan. He
not only deprecated its publication but has no
hesitation in saying that it did not express his
sentiments.
=" Neither Senator Bigler or the Philadelphia
PenRsyLodaian are peculiar opponents of Mr..
Bachanan's particular views of public policy !;
and it is wrong and unreasonable to hold him
responsible for their statements"

paper, is in a different vein:

THE AETI-sLAvE TRADE-RFsoLUTIoNs IN
CONGRESS


Asi is scarcely possible that our position in
respect to the policy of reviving the slave trade
can be misunderstood, we may venture TO ex-
press regret that the matter was ever brought
before Congress. The subject was introduced
into the House of Representatives. by gentle.

Eheridge pretends, could be guilty of the gar-

brand into Congress, is matter of no mystery
to those who understood his object
1t was obviously movement in the interest
Of the Black Republican party. 1t was intended.
in the first place, to divide the Democracy !;
and then to serve the purpose of supplying a
basis upon which the Know Nothings of the
} South and the Black Republicans of the North
! might unite and cooperate. With this view

We have often called attention TO the con
Trajectory opinions expressed in the Richmond
Enquirer. Whether it is owing TO its three.
fold editorship, or to the want of any well-de-
fined opinions, or to the fact that some of It's
editorials are written before dinner, some after,
1t is constantly contrsdicting itself
The moment the anti slave-trade resolution
of Mr.. Etheridge had passed the House, the fol-
lowing article appeared in its columns, as edi.
torial
THE SLAVE TRADE PROJECT
The good sense of the Southern people was
neverrvindicated more signally than by the en-
phatic rebuke which they have administered to
the attempt to make the revival of the slave
trade an object of sectional policy. With the
exception of the New Orleans Delta and the
Charleston papers, no journal of recognised in
huence in the South has received the PROPOSE
ton with any sort of favor. 1t was emphati-
caIly repudiated by the Savannah Convention ;
and by The Southern Representatives. IN Congress
IL has been still more rudely repulsed So
universally is it rejected, that its supporters will
p not be able to effect any division in the public
opinion of the South. Better far for the inter
ests of the South, that Its people be united upon
q Just aud impregnable position, than distracted
among multiplicity of extravaganza and i'm.
practicable schemes.
This is evidently gratulatory. Now read the
following editorial from the Enquirer of De-
