Kin, anttLecompton Democrat, was candidate for
reelection He voted against the admission of Kan
as with the Lecompton Constitution. John Nc
Kson, formerly u S. District Attorney for New York
and who was removed by Mr.. Buchanan for his in
reference in the New York City elections last year,
made speech for Haskin on Saturday evening last,
in the course of which he said:
AIR. Buchanan has shown himself true to his old
federal instincts. What am struggling for now is
to cut the Democratic party loose from him. If the
Democratic party does not let him go, he will drag
hdown into the abyss as sure as we live"
Of course Mr. McKeon is a violent anti Lecomp-
ton man, and goes with Douglas and Forney.
But Mr.. Haskin spoke for himself at the same
meeting, and in the course of his remarks said
"But he [John Van Buren1 has sold himself as
VI. Buchanan has, to the South, and noao let the
South take care of him. ask not the South to take
care Of me-"
Again, Mr. Senator Seward, who is the head and
life of the Black Republican party, and who has d.
lated time and again upon the Lecompton 'outrage,"
made speech at Rochester on the 25th of last
month, in which he reiterated his abolition princi-
pies, and unfoded his plans for surrounding and de-
Hoymg the institution of slavery. In this speech
