PRESIDENT BUCHANAN AND THE SECESsToNISTs.
All the Washington correspondents of the North
ern journals now join in asserting that President
Buchanan and his Cabinet are a unit against seces
sion. The New York Times correspondent saws ::
learn from reliable source that President
buchanan not ouly condemns the doctrine of seces-
sion, but that he stands by the Proclamation of
Gen. jackson, issued in December, 1892, against
the notification experiment of John C. Calhoun.
The President is giving especial attention to the
principles laid down in this celebrated State paper
as we'll as to its history. He denies the statement
which was put forth years ago, and which
may have been recently repeated, that the old hero
repented and recanted the teachings of the Procla
nation, and Is able to show that he stood by them
to the last The emphatic declarations made by
Mr. buchanan on this subject leave no doubt that
1t will form prominent topic in his forthcoming
message, and that he will reterate the sentiments
and doctrines OF the Proclamation without qualif-
cation.
THE POSITION OF THE PRESIDENT ELECT.
From the Chicago Tribune, Nov. II.
We are enabled to assure Mr. Lincoln's friends
who are alarmed lest he should send out an address,
in which the standard of the party will be lowered
for the purpose of coaxing the secessionsts into an
abatement of their threats against the integrity of
the Union, that he will do no such foolish thing;
and we can also assure those timd gentlemen who
are entreating him to declare himself anew, that
they are misusing their time.
Mr.. Lincoln is not the President elect. That he
Is the choice of the people is clear; but until the
electors meet in their respective States and choose
hlm according to the Constitution and the forms of
the law, he no more than any other private citi-
zen. In the meantime, all men desirous of knowing
nus opinions upon matters of current interest will
find them clearly and unequiv5cally set forth in his
many speeches. As those opinions were deliber-
ately formed there is no occasion to fear that Mr.
Lincoln will change them, at least until their un-
tenabeness is proved. x Before he acts or
makes any public declarations be will know the
ground upon which he stands, the full extent of the
disaitection and the temper of those upon whom he
must depend for carrying out the policy that he
will inaugurate. That he will try all methods of
Cancellation consistent with his sense of right and
his obligations to the country we have no doubt If
these are of no avail, his supporters know that they
have in him a leader who will not fail, at the pro-
per time and in the proper manner, to use all the
means at his command to respect for the OBJ
legations into which the States have entered.
