ministration surrounded by office seekers,
living all the time in an atmosphere offiat-
terry, followed by thousands Of men who
expect office, and who. say to you, you are
right, Mr.. Buchanan, we are down upoh
our bellies in the dust, please to walk over
US and trample upon us, and We will be
content and happy; you may believe that
your policy is right. But tell you, Mr.
Buchanan, that there is still small voice
in the hearts of the people, that instructive
" rejects and abhors fraud-and this is
frahd and dishohor. l 10 not claim to be
more honest than other men: l have, as
all politicians have, done many things

of religion aud right, and which regret
having done; but this thing will not do.
Renewed applause.] have reached the
years of manhood, and l cannot 60 back to
Pennsylvania and eat my own words, and
become the slave of power. But then, MIR.
Buchanan, you must tolerate these differ
enees of opinion. Gen. Jackson tolerated
differences of opinion among his friends;
Col. Polk tolerated differences of opinion
atnong his friends, as you are aware, for you
differed with him upon the subject of the
tariff, and yet you remained in bis cabinet;
Mr.. Pierce tolerated differences of opinion.
And here you are; the men who carried
you into the place you now occupy having
refused YOUR favors,a and having trampled
the patronage which has been rendered
them under foot, because they desired to
serve independently, here they are, asking
to be tolerated in the indulgence of an
honest opinion. Applause.
1 INTEND MAKING MY KANSAS POLICY PAR
TY TEST.
The reply to that was-Sir, 1 intend ma
king my Kansas policy party test. Well,
Sir. said 1, regret it; but if you make it
a test with your officers we will make 1t a
test at the ballot-box. Renewed Applause
Repeated efforts were made to heal the dit
terence. But it seems to Inc that when
the Presidency is conferred upon poor
mortal, it transforms him into a god, IN his
own estimation, or into lunatie. Laug h.
ter and continued Applause. Nobody is
permitted to approach power and tell the
truth. Power never hears the laundering
voice of the people, sitting as it does, in It's
easy chairs, and between its marble walls.
An in dependent man, with voice loud
and bold who goes up to tell the truth, is
waived off from the Presidential presence
as a rude intruderN As l said before, re-
peated efforts were made in vain. The con-
ferring of the Presidential patronage with
its vast millions, more than the great mon
arch of Great Britain herself enjoys, and
nearly as much as the French Monarch
wields, made Mr.. Buchanan believe that he
would make this test successful. How was
it made? Oh, gentlemen, the chapter
which shall tell the manner in which this
Administration has used its patronage will
be black one. And when our children,
and our children's children come to read
they will not believe that any American
citizen, elevated to the Presidential chair,
in the face of such people, covered with
an arIhor of pledges, should have gone into
that chair, should have his army and the
Treasury, your mony and mine, your offices
and mine, for the purpose of furnishing
gallant band of men for standing honestly
BY the plain Gods truth. (Cheers and ap-
plause.) would that when the historian
comes to write that chapter in the history
of this country and Government, he should
not feel compelled 10 write that that Presi-
dent was born in Pennsylvania. No, gentle
man there has not been an element, single
circumstance, lacking to relievethis unredeem
ed infamy; no, not one. They have gone
on, step by step, with the remorseless tread
of fate and destiny, trying to crush out the
breath of the gallant spirits who have stood
forth, asking nothing but to be permitted
to do right. Look at the spectacle in Hi
nois at this moment. Democrats, if there
are any here, and l trust there are many,
you who take the regular organizations,
YOU who swallow this miserable dose of
Lecomptonism, because the regular organi-
zation of tie State supports it, because the
party indorses it, look at Illinois, and blush
with very shame at the spectacle there ex-
hibited to the world. There is regular or
ganization for you, and how does the Ad-
ministration treat it? They treat it with
contempt and scorn the gallant Douglas
standing at the head of the column. If
you open the pages of the Washington
Union of to-day, read what it says of Ste
phen A. Douglas. You would suppose
from what you would read there, that he
was sowing pestilepce and death through
out Northwest. Aye, and he is, too-to
false doctrines and to false men. Ap-
plause and cheers.
| JAMES BUCHANAN TYLERIZED.
Look at the South, in whose name this
deed, Leeomptonism, has been perpetrated.
After It's representatives in the Senate and
the House have assisted IN bounding down
Stephen A. Douglas and David G. Brod-
erict, and their gallant com-patriots in the
House, the South begin to say as they
see the Administration hell-hounds pursu-
ing and attack Douglas and his friends in
Illinois: "This is too much. We are
willing to accept Lecompton as gildedi
poison which has been extended to us, and
which is to help us, though the only thing
it has done has been to cortiriit OUR repre-
sehtatives to gross wrong toward the
| North; bit we cannot bear this persecution"
Read the letter published the other day in
New York papers from Beverly johnson,
of MARYLAND. Read the statement of Alex
ander il. Stevens and Henry A. WISE
They are clamorous against these attacks
on Mr.. Douglas. Public men in the coun-
try forget III their trucking to the South
that Southern people. are American people
