NiRws OF PRESIDENT BUCHANAN IN 1895
Ihere is great an Iiety, in view of the seces-
sion movements at the South and the momen
tous consequences likely to follow disruption
OF The Union, to know the views of President
Buchanan on all the important point is involved
III the controversy now agitating the country.
ms anxiety Will doubtless be relieved early
la the coming week, ION Tuesday next, proba
biy,) when the Presidents annual Message
Will be communicated to Congress. Mean
While, the following extract from 4 speech
made by Mr.. Buchanan in the United States
Senate in 1855, will be read with interest:
The Constitution has in the clsarest terms
recognized the right of property in slaves 1t
prohibits any State, into which a slave may
nave Heu, from passing any law to discharge
him from slavery, and declares that he shall
be delivered up by the authorities of such
state 10 his master. Nay, more, it makes the
existence OF slavery Inc foundation of politi-
cal power by giving to those States Thin
which II exists, representatives in Congress
not only ia proportion to the whole mum ber
or free persons, but also in proportion TO
three -ffths of the mum ber OF slaves
"Sir, this question of domestic slavery is a
weak point in our ins nstitutions. Tariffs may be
r;.ised almost 10 prohibition, and then they
may be reduced so as TO yield no adequate pro-
lection 10 the manufacturer; our Union is
sufficiently strong to endure the shock Fierce
political storms may arise; the moral element ts
OF the country may become conyuIsed by the
struggles OF ambitious men for the highest
hOnors OF government. The sunshine does
not more certainly succeed the storm than
that all will again be peace. Touch this ques-
tion Of slavery-let II once be made mani fest
to the people of the South that they cannot
live with u.s. except in a state of continual ap-
prehension, and alarm for their wives and
children, for all that is near to them upon
earth, and the Union is from that moment
dissolved. 1t does not then become a question
of expediency, but of self-preeer vation. 1t is
| & question brought home TO the nresides to
! the domestic circle OF every white man In the
Southern States"
NEW ORGANIZATION.
The Norfolk Day Book notices a new organ
| ization, called the Ready Men," as follows:
There are over three hundred Ready Men,
| in this city, who are regularly organized and
ready at moments notice 10 stand by the
State Their motto is Union" if it can be
| had with honor TO the South; If not, they
| go in for Virginia first, the South next. The
Ready Men are having daily acceSsions to their
| ranks, and propose 10 hold a public meeting
in a lew days, at which they will avow their
| sentiments and admit all who wish 10 sigh
| They have made application for arms and ac-
| CoutrementS, which they expect to receive as
| soon aa they are fully organized into compa-
| MES. and have selected their officers. Their
| uniform is TO be black pants, red shirt, (after
| the style worn by the Lexington Cadets at
| Harper's Ferry,) glaze caps la milttaire and
| white gloves, with cross belts. &c, sc. They
are working warmly and systematically, un-
| der the ls " passed by the last session OF the
Legislature, and SO quietly, that it was by the
merest accident that even we, who are ever on
| the qua ere TOR news, found out the tenor of
| their ways.
THROUGH PASSAGE TO NEW YORK.
The Charlotte IN. o. Bulletin, of Tuesday,
has the following:
George w. Boulware from Buckingham
county. Va, but recently of Fairfield District,
South Carolina, arrived in this city yesterday
afternoon over the Charlotte & S g. Railroad,
and was sent forward last night by Express,

traffic with negroes, and had been guilty Of
violent incendiary language. He had been
striped $50 times, shaved and passage money
furnished for his transit nOrthward.
About one hundred or more of our fellow
citizens took charge of Boulware on his arri-
val and turned him over TO our Marshal, who
placed him in the "lock-up" for safe keeping
until the departure of the Express train
