The denomination OF Nr. Buchnnan-HOvcr~
Wise's Views OF His Administration.
The Pittsburg Post, in calmly considered
leading article, which we transfer to this paper,
after canvassing the difficulties of the democratic
party in reference to their candidate for the sue
cession, comes to the conclusion that Mr..
Buchanan will be the man best qualified to
restore harmony in the camp, and lead the party
again to victory. We presume, however, that
Mr. Buchanan's original resolution of serving but
one term, instead Of being weakened. has been
strengthened by bis experience in the White
House. We do not think it probable that any
considerations can be brought to bear upon him
sufficiently convincing to overcome this resolu.
ton. True, as our Pittsburg contemporary says,
"Mr. Buchanan is, by his position, above and Sc
parate from the clashing factions" of the day;
that be has been "clear in his great Office" has
satisfied the country and commands its conf.
dence; but we dare say that, Notwithstanding all
this, his resolution is fixed upon the " one term
principle
But, in another view, the argument In question
in behalf of the reelection of Mr. Buchanan will
most forcibly apply We refer to the balance Of
power which his administration, his acts and his
measures, will command in the Charleston
Convention in behalf of the reunion as a ma.
tonal party Of the now broken and section
allied democracy. But the factious and unscru-
pulous leaders Of the party, North and South,
who have thus demoralized and disorganized the
rank and file of their followers, in their foolish
war upon Mr.. Buchanan, have still the lesson to
learn which alone can save them-the lesson of
loyalty to loyal and faithful administration.
Nor can we undertake to vouch for this thing
until Mr.. Douglas, for example, shall have low.
cred his tone upon his hobby of squatter sove
reignty, and Gov. Wise, on the other hand, shall
have turned to the administration and abandon
ed his impracticable demand for the special pro
lection by Congress Of slavery in the Terri
tories. Between these extremes there can be no
compromise at Charleston, except upon the safe
middle ground of the administration; for the
platform of Wise or the policy of Douglas
will be equally fatal to the party as sectional
issue.
But we can discover no satisfactory symptoms
among the organs of either Douglas or Wise OF
any disposition to a compromise We have be.
fore us, in the Richmond Enquirer (the special
organ of Governor Wise), leading article of
the goth instant, under this significant heading:
"The Present Administration Attempts to Die
tate to the Democratic Party" In the progress
of this PHILIPPE after some remarks In defence of
Wise and Douglas, and some observations on "the
high philosophy with which the catfaced organ
at Washington (the Constituion) now attempts to
bamboozle the democracy into the Mephistophi.
lean policy of the administration" it is charged
that Mr.. Buchanan has violated every principle
OF the Cincinnati platform, and turned over the
democratic party to the mercy of its enemies.
But let us give few of the concluding speci-
fications of the article referred to against Mr..
Buchanan. We are thus told that he has given
US an administration (which has deserted
every political friend which it once possessed,
and which has incurred the just contempt
OF it's enemies;" which "has made literal
obedience to its own orders, from which it
timdly retreated, the occasion for the condemna-
ton of public functionary;" Gan administra-
ton which, in its vindictive prescription Of anti
Lecompton democrats, has disguised even the
leaders of the Lecompton democracy" can ad-
ministration which swallows the old federalist
measures Of internal improvements by the gene
raj government, federal bankrupt act, pro-
tective tariff, seeks military Dictatorship,
adopts the black republican heresies Of Eli
Thsyer, and threatens, by policy of submission
to foreign aggression, to drive every naturalized
citizen from the democratic ranks"
This bundle Of silly and reckless accusations,
and the sharp and violent temper which they
betray, promise anything but treaty Of peace
from Governor Wise. They indicate rather
relentless war upon Mr.. Buchanan, utterly re-
gardless Of the consequence And what will
