' - From, the Washington Organ.. The Richmond Enquirer. The Richmond : Enquirer pf Thursday; last, contains a libellous attack upon the Ameeican Oegast, tinder tlfe head of "one of.the.fkauds," iri .which' that press; false ly attributes to the .Organ "a fraudulent garbling of ' the record," rfor. the purpose of ehowinor that Mr. . Buchanan had voted against the South on the 11th of January, 1838, in theT Senate upon a proposition made by "the Hon. Wm. C. Rives, as an amendment to Mr, r Clay's ' amendment' of one of the ; resolutions offered a feWi days before by Mr. Calhoun. " - , The Enquirer copies the followins: from our daily,of ,tlje 10th September, to-wit : .;. ''Buchawan's VoTE.-i-The following resolution was introduced by the Hon. V C. Rives, of .Va. into the .Ujnted States Senate," on the. 11th of January, 1838, against which James Buchanan, of Pennsylva- nia,t voted : - v JJ? Resolved, That any interference with5 the '-subject ci slavery, m, ttie xemtones or the United. States, ia which it may exist is inhibited by ;,11 the consid erations in regard to the rights and- interests of ; the inhabitants ot the said Territories, the security of ,iDe siaveioiumg states, ana the danger to the Union, which are mentioned n the preceeding , .resolution, as forbidding any interference with, or action ou the4 subject of slavery in the District of Columbia and for the further reason that the people of those Terri- lories, wnen admitted into tne Union as States, ; will be exclusively entitled to decide the question ot the existence of- slavery within their, respective liinits'for themselves." '.Ot".!?;l mwil fjiv.ir-ni ifUx'l ;-iMAmJng those who voted for the resolution pna di rect vole were John .C, Calhoun, Alfred ; Cuthbert, Wilson iAimpkin, and Rivea and Eoane, of Virgin ia., : - ' James Buchanan voted against it on a direct vote. 'Yet Air, Buchanan ism?w;snpported by raany Southern men, on tlje ground that he is a safer, man for the South than Mr. Fillmore! Let them exam ine his record and purge thcuiselves of such inconsist ency ' . . -The Enquirer says of the above," thus r "If the above article had appeared orig inally in another paper than, the American Organ, we would have read ' It with s me surprise. In the isolation in which it is presented, with no connexion or depend ence on any other proposition and without any parration of the circumstances. of its' introdnction into the Senate, the resolution looks as if it should have commanded the votes of all conservative men." It is not surprising that, in the absence of all expla nation, some just people should be disposed to censure Mr. Buchanan for hot support ing, the resolution. Fortunately, the repu tation of the American Organ" is so susr- people thereof will be entitled to decide that question exclusively for themselves." - The second position taken by the Enquir er, and resting upon the ; above resolution, is as folio wg, to-witV i . "Mr. Buchanan's vote on the above resof lution snbmitted bv Mr.Clay, reveals', an other interesting;. fact, .visr ihat'inl838, by recorded vototf-wb Bern Buch Senate, " Mr anan amrmed t Drinctele that: ;" ANY.TEBRiTCfRjjrall be. admitted IJ j4q Union j05 S3tate; the people -thereof 'shall decide tha'tquestion (slavoj) exchisively for themselyes" thus. e.arly . arid " thus djis tinetly repudiating squatter sovereignty, and announcing the tr uq doctrine in regard to the rights of the Territories over slave- "Wjaiould not : call- thifiainieresting fact,'8' but an '"mteresting'"nridr?nccption The THiRi-position taken by .ilie Enquir er is, in its'o wn "language; follows : Another interestinjr ciscumstance dis closed by the above resolution of Mr. Clay is the fact that he arid Mr. Buchanan, and every . feena tor who vo tpd for the resolution, then and by Ihat act discredited the sancti ty and obligators force of . the Missouri re- stridtionVby-l declaring' that the people of EVERY TERRITORY pOSSeSS the EXCLUSIVE . power ot determining the Slavery question TheseTHREE in the very , words of the Richmond Enquirer, used m the editorial ; under, consideration. That would-indeed bejan "interesting cir cumstance'' stated above: as the Enquirer's third position, if it happened to be true ; but the "interesting circumstance," like the "interesting fact" stated as the second po sition oi . the " Hinquirer, liau, ;in truta, . xo EXISTENCE I The first point made by the Enquirer ist that "Mr. Buchanan's position onislave- ry is impregnable, aud . that he never devi atcd a hair's breadth from the straight line of justice and constitutional" duty." We have a good many letters and resolves to refer, to on this first point, which it will require much space to publish, and as the second and third positions' will be more briefly disposed of,' we "will, with the leave of our readers, discuss these second and third points first.
