"WHAT IT CosTs TO BE GovERSED!-An Oppo-
sition electioneerng document, bearing the above
title has been sent us by friend from one of the
counties in the district, and is, we imagine, but one
of the thousands that have been scattered broad cast
through each county to do the work of detraction
and Misrepresentation We have examined this
precious document and find it filed with the gross
est mistatements and fabrcations How any party
resorting to such means to accomplish their ends
can ever expect to succeed, is mystery to us. To-
day we have only space to expose two of its msrep
resentations but shall take it up again that read
may the dishonesty of the men that are ar
rayed against the Democracy. Indeed the exposure
that shall make to-day should be sufficient to be-
tray the fraud that is attempted
, On page u, Mr.. Buchanan is said to have asked
Congress for S30,O0O,0OO, to be placed at his dis
/ posal to be by him. disburSed secretly, without
check, restraint or res esponsibty There is not one
! word of truth in syllable therein stated. In the
! the first place Mr.. Buchanan never asked for any
thing of the kind and all that be charged against
him is found in the following extract from his An
nual Message. In speaking of the purchase of Gu
ba. The President says
! 1.-The publicity which has been given to our for
ner negotiations upon this subject, and the large
/ appropriation which may be -equred to effect the
purpose render it expedient, before making another
attempt to renew the negotiation, that should lay
the whole subject before Congress. This is espe-
cialy necessary, it may become indispensable to
success, that l should be ntrusted with the means
of making an advance to the Spanish government
Immediately after the signing of the treaty, without
awaiting the ratification of it by the Senate am
encouraged to make this suggestion by the example
of Mr. Jefferson previous to the purchase of Louis
lana from France and by that of Mr. Polk, in view
of the acquisition of territory from Mexico. refer
the whole subject to Congress, and commend it to
their careful consideration"
Contrast the language of Mr. Buchanan with this
statement made in the pamphlet referred to- and the
falsity of the latter is at exposed But it is
stated that he wished the money placed at his dispo
sal to be disbursed without check, restraint or
sponsibility.' This is equally without foundation.
If Mr.. Buchanan the author of the $3.50, 600
BILL no such accusation could be sustained That
bill distinctly states for what the money shall be
used when it shall be used, and is in these words
ITO be used by him, if he shall think fit in ad-
of the ratification of the treaty by the Senate
Prorided, Said treaty, when signed by the authori;
zed agents of the two governments and duly ratified
by the government of Spain, shall call for the ex
penditure of the same, Or any part thereof"
In the next page is said that EVERY Democratic
member of Congress from North-Carona was in
favor in favor of comforting upon the President this
vast amount of money and power" A more un
blushing falsehood was never perpetrated. We are
not aware OF out one single mclnper ol congress
from this State that favored the bil and that was
its author Mr.. Branch. We knom that DIR. Shaw
and Mr.. Scales hostile to it, and yet this mis-
cradle trick is sought to be palmed off upon the peo
pie. %, shame where is thy blush"
Another, and not less garng, Fabrication appears
in the same page, in which the Democratic party is
held up as having voted for the bill giving to mem
bers of Congress $4,000 per session. That bill wa:
passed by an Opposition Congress- and was votee
for by only % democrats out of about 80 in tn
House. There a Know Nothings for the bill
and only nine against it. The Black Republican,
voted IS for the bill. We ask in all sincerity, cal
any confidence be placed in party so destitute o
common honesty as to seek to build up cause b.
the publication of such gross and papable mistate
ments? We ask the honest voter to look to the re
cord, examine for yourself and if after doing So as
yourself the question, is party capable of suc
conduct worthy of my support.-Dem. Pioneer.
