Mr.. EDIroR.-The speech Of Dr. Chee-
yer at the anniversary of the American
Abolition Society, is before US; and it
truly Is what it purports to be, " The fire
and hammer of Gods Word, against the
sin of Slavery" In his exposition Of the
system, he brings to light many thing,
important to be known-and which, il
were known, wopld remove apathy, and
rouse to a proper and just Indignation.
| propose that we meet in the borough. as
soon as You think proper, an1 have the
discourse read, with other appropriate ex
lrc;ses and that meetings Of the same
Eind be held In other places throughout
the county-that the sentiment may b.
full endorsed and subscribed to, By every
inaij -,ent aud enlightened person. With
out some such ,ncans but few will hear
Il, and it seems to me tha5 such develop
ment of truths aud startling facts should
be generally known. If any think ne

Judge Douglas and shePTesi-
eeaCS.

TIC Squtb (Richmond, Va,) has been
trying toreconcile the fcud between Judg ge
Douglas and the Slave Oligarchy, but en-
ters a scasonable protest against the sup
port of Judge d. for the Presidency, say
ing:
Already some of our friends are pres
sing the claims of Judge Douglas for the
Presidency, The people are not prcpar-
ed for this let his friends wait. This
movement viii hurt---it cannot aid him.
There is a vast difference between Sen
ator from Illinois and President of the
United States. We may feel pleased that
an avowed Free -Soiler cannot till The place
of Douglas in the Senate, but it is very
different when we are asked to prefer him
to the truest and noblest of cur party for
the highest office in their gift. On the
next Presidential election, we believe,
weighty events, probably the future des-
tiny Of this Confederacy, will depend. No
mistake should be made in selecting our
candidate. Not only should Black Re
publican be beaten, but the purest and
soundest Southern man should be elected.
Our party should be in no hurry to name
its candidate There is time enough for
all necessary preparation there is no need
to have a candidate put up as a mark to
be fired at from now till 1860. Whenever
we do select candidate, we desire that
he shall have a clear record, and a posi-
ton which requires no explanatory de-
fense, but one which shall command adj
miration and enforce support"
The above extract assures us more than
anything else we have yet seen that it is
the intcntiontion Of the South to run Mr..
Buchanan for President again. He is "the
purest and soundest Southern man" we
know of--that is, if we compare his &C.
ttonS with the standard which the South
usually depicts in its columns. And, in
order that the S1uh and especially its
Northern allies may know what our wish
is in regard to whom shall be the Repub-
lican candidate, we will say that We de-

The Sectional Character o. the
Buchanan Party.

In the campaign of 1886, the Buchan-
an stump-speakers made considerable cap
i:al by announcing that they were N,t-
ttqAqI men, and that the supporters of
Fremont were iSectiQaol. Most people
who kept their oyes open, saw that this
claim of Nationality. was false pretense,
and that no candidate for President had
ever been so intensely Sectional as James
Buchanan.
Every act of his administration has
been governed by Sectional motives, In
the great political contest of 1900, which
resulted in the election of Mr.. Jefferson,
the party issues were between the Ma
hondEsts, who were defeated, and the
State Rights men, who succeeded. The
advocates of a strong central Government
assumed the name of FederalistS while
those who were for limiting the action Of
the Federal Government to the powers
expressly granted by the Constitution
which created it, wero known as Repub.
licans.
Is it not apparent that the same Issues
in part are now before the people for set
Element? Mr., Buchanan who was a Fed
era2ist in his youth, is still for a strong
central government, but worse than that,
he is now fop exerting all the influences
of this overshadowing Central Govern
ment in favor of the sectional interest ul
Slavery, While the Republicans of to
day, like the Republicans of Jefferson's
day, are in favor of State Rights, the
rights of the people, and of a Government
