James Buchanan, EX-President of

James Buchanan, Ex-President of the
United States has recently written letter
in which he felicitates himself that he is not
responsible for the years of blood and sor-
row we have endured"
OF all men north of the Potomac Mr..
Buchanan is most responsible for the late
rebellion. We shall never forget with what
anxiety the Union people of this State look
ed to him to arrest South Carolina in her
mad career. If he had done his duty in
1860, all the "years of blood and sorrow"
referred to by him would have been averted.
History will so record him. His name will
60 down with obloquy, while the names
of such men as Webster, jackson, Clay,
Douglas, and Lincoln will become brighter
with the fight of years.

base the prediction on the fact that immense

away from the extreme North, producing

this prediction, because the reverse is al
