The President Is SHAsrA-The Courier,
an original Buchanan paper, but which has
not believed in his policy in supporting Breck
inridge against Douglas the nominee of the
party at Baltimore, is fairly disgusted with the
Presidents course towards South Carolina,
and talks about him ia manner that world
astonish even Cobb, Thompson and Floyd. If
bis old friends talk about him in this way,
what will bis enemies say
There is no resisting the conviction that
james Buchanan is a traitor to his country
hoary-headed, vile, hell-deserviug, traitor
His name will go down to posterity with an
infamy black as Stygean waters The present
generation of men VIII curse his name. I'm
told generations to come will use it as synO-
nyme for all that is vile, traitorous and das
tardy Heuceforth men will cease to speak of
the unequaed nfamy of Arnods treason, or of
the unrivaled turpitude of the treachery of
Judas Their vllainy resulted in good to the
world But this treason of Buchanan can only
accomplish results disastrous to his own coun-
trymen and hurtful TO the whole world. He
has proved himself to be coward on instinct"
No American with an ounce of honest blood
in his veins can think of the old man without
feeling his face glow with shame. Although
he has sworn upon the Holy Word Of God that
he would endeavor faithfully to execute the
laws, yet he permits the maddened men OF
South Carolina to set at defiance all Federal
laws, to ignore all Federal authority, aud even
TO take violent possession of the forts, ships,
munitions of war and other public property
belonging to the United States. He not only
permits these acts of treason and robbery, but
by refusal to take the proper steps, to prevent
their consummation, be conyicts himself before
the world of the crime OF aiding and abetting
those engaged in the traitorous work. The
question now arriSes, is be entirely beneath
contempt? If not, let him be impeached-if
not for treason to his country, then for imbe.
cility. Let his name be made entirely infa-
nous 1t is due posterity. As this age has
