confess have felt very great anxiety to have your
approval in what did. tell you now what | am
going to do for the future and hope you will give
me your countenance and support In all the oppo,
sition may wage against She premature admissions OF
Kansas know shall be sustaining the well settled
views Of the President Mr., Buchanan IS sound on
this point.
The National Administration is as sound on the
slavery question, and as true TO the S0uth, as any
National Administration will ever be- While Mr.. Bu-
chanan desires to do justice to US, and protect us II
our rights his Judgment Is swayed by that great
power at the North which is resoutey bent taking
possession of the Government 1t is the force otpub
| lie opinion and not the want q good WIN on the part
of leading statesmen at the North that constantly
drives the Government into acts of hostility to the
South. Selfish politicians at first tempered with
mawkish sentimentaty and now instead OF con,
! trolling it, they are controlled by it. Mr.. Buchanan
is sounder at this time than many Southern states
| men mainly because he is old, has nothing more to
ask, and nothing to do but his duty. II Northern
| and Southern demagogues would let him alone, ne
| would generally do right. But they scare him with
hobgobn stories about breaking up the Democratic
party III 1860 and the election of Ahot0nist and
the final downfall of the Union, and all that and then
right away he does something wrong,
We honor Senator Brown for speaking so plainly
and empbatically, and We believe the people of his
own State and Of the South will also honor him.
The times require plain Speech not vague generates
or demagoguical appeals.
Mr. Brown never doubted that Mr. Buchanan was
right the Nicaragua question at the start and has
just as little doubt that he is all wrong now" At
ter some other remarks the distinguished speaker
! said
| This brings me to consider first, what interest we
had in the Nicaragua question and next, which plan,
the Walker plan, or the Cass Yrissari plan is most
likely to subsefve purposes. First, assume that
| we are directly interested and to deep extent, in
! planting slave holding State in Nicaragua. We are
so, because slavery must go South if it goes at ALL
| If Walker had been allowed to succeed, he would
have planted such State, and the Southern States
would have populated it, ltisagainst our interest to
| have an anti-slave State planted in our front. We
all know that such State must sooner or later come
into the Union, and help to swell that hostile power
| at the North which has already given us so much
| trouble. And that being in our front will stand
ready at all times to arrest our progress The plan
for cOlonizing Central America, as tOreshadOwed in
the Cas Yrssar treaty. is through the agency Of the
| American Transit Company. That Company has its
headquarters in Wall street and State street If Cen
trail America is ever cOlOnzed through its agency
will at the same time be abOlitiOnized. OF this |
have no doubt l was for Walker because thought
he was giving a slave-holding State. was against
Cass and Yrissari because they were giving us an
abolition State
Further along Senator Brown explains himself
more fully:
If any one desires to know why want root,hod

want to plant slavery there think slavery is good

That slavery is blessing to the master. is shown

and manly The other is cowardly, low flung and
