But then Mr.. Buchanan, you must tol.
crate this difference Of opinion. General
Jackson tolerated differences OF opinion in
his friends. Col. Polk tolerated differences
OF opinion, and you have differed with him
III his views on the tariff, and yet you re-
NAMED in his Cabinet. Mr.. Pierce tolerated
d,iierences OF opinion. But here you are
Men who put you where you are-who ask
nothing at your hands-who have refused
your iavors-have trampled all the patron
age That has been offered them under foot
here they are, asking to be tolerated in the
indulgence OF an honest opinion The re-
ply to that was in manner and substance -
Sir, intend to make my Kansas policy a
test" Well sir" said j. q | regret it; +; but
| il you make tia test with your Offices we
will make it test at the ballot box" Loud
cheers: Repeated efforts were made to heal
The difference. But it seems 10 me, gentle.

upon poor mortal, it transforms him into
god, In his own estimation, or lunatic-
Laughter. Nobody is permitted TO approach
power to tell the truth. Power never hears
me thunder voice OF the people, sitting as it
does IN It's cushioned chair, between lis mar.
ole walls. The independent man. loud and
Doid, WIN clear eye, who comes to tell the
ence as a rude intruder. Then we went
home. Aa said, repeated efforts were made

The conferring OF this Presidential patron
age--ot vas. millions-more than the mon-
arch OF Great Britain enjoys. and nearly as
much as the French despol " wields-this ma
| tronage induced Mr.. Buchanan TO believe
that he could make his,test successful How
was ~ made Gentlemen, when the chap
ter which shall detail the manner i'm which
'he Administration has used its patronage is
wr'.,en,it VIII be a black one. When our
children and our children's children come
to read it, they will not believe that an A.
merIcan citizen, elevated to the Presiden.
tial char, in the face Of such people COW
cred with snch an armor of pledges, would
go into that chair TO have used his army
ay, ms army and the treasure your money
and mine your officers and mine for the
purpose of putting down gallant band of
men for standing by the plain Gods truth
and wish that when the historian comes
TO write, he would not be compelled to write
! that that President was born in Pennsyva-
MIA. lApplause. Now, gentlemen, there
has not been an element lacking TO relieve
this unredcemed infamy-not one. There
has not been single circumstance lacking.
| They have gone on step by step, with a
tread of fate and destiny, trying to crush
tout the brave and gallant spirits who have
stood forth asking for nothing but to be al
lowed to do right. Look at the South, in
whose name this deed, Lecomplonism, has
been perPetrated after its representatives. i'm
the Senate and the House have assisted in
bounding down Stephen A. Douglas and
David ID. Broderick and their gallant comma
triots in The House, the South begins TO saw
as they see The Administration hell hounds
pursuing and ATTACKING Douglas in Illinois,
Ihis is 100 much. We are willing TO ac-
| 'cept Lecompton as gilded poison which
" has been extended TO US, though the only
ching it has done has been to commit our
Representatives 10 gross wrong toward
"ihe North. But we cannot bear this per.
secuiloD." Read The letter published the
other day in the New York papers from
Reverdy Johnson, of Maryland, Read the
statement Of Alex. Fl. Stephens and
and henry A. Wise. They are clamorous @
against these attacks on Mr.. Douglass
Public men in this country forget in their
trucking to the South that Southern people
are Americans as we are. They have their
Slavery. They have their peculiar insttu.
iions. But they reject wrong-ihey reject
an infamy- reject unfairness lust as
readily as we do. They will not submit TO
this tyranny of the Administration upon Mr..
Douglas. And so ], will be when the Adj
minis,ration begin by counting the South |;
by declaring that the only thing The Presi-
dent should do is to yield TO The South, that
Administration will end by the South turn
ing upon it. What thenq IT will be Ty.
lerised. Laughter. The Administration
of James Buchanan Tylersed--supported by
set Of office holders and expeciants only,
with al the great parties, and the one that
| put !! in power inclusive, standing from il
and stunning it like con,agion
"Imperial Caesar, dead and turned to Clay,
Must stop hole to keep the wind away.''

called Black Republicans. tLaugbter1 But
have you who are Americans witnessed The
efforts Of the Administra ton 10 make
union with you2 The Administration can
combine wilhthe Americans, (I believe you
are called Know Nothings some times.) and
that is all tight. Or ifa Black Republican
comes out Tor Lecompton, he is immediate.

Why, gentlemen, the principles that we
fought for in 1856 are now reduced to---Le.

Star upon every real principles, but il we
