WHO IS JAMES BUCHANAN ?
No ooe will eriooaly aak jo ia James Bach
aaan 7 Thie it eaid by the generality of the
luofxo preaa, with noch unction and evi
dent aatiafkction. Well, it ii pleasant to have a
candidate for the Presidency of whom eotrebody
hat he rd something before he was nominated.
But if it ahoold happen that any ooe ehould aah
" bo is James Bocbanaa T yoa can tell them
- at once, sad without stopping to think about it.
Why, be is the man who aLused Madison and the
war with ErgUad ia a Fourth of July oration in
1815, ai a round rata. lie is the man who was
rich a rampant Federalist that h solemnly de
clared before God End man that if he thought he
had a single drop of Drmorratie blood in his
tns he would open them and let it out.
He ia (he Baas who -was lour times elected to
Coogteaa as a ItitrmluL He is the man who
came to Mr. Clay, ia and tried to make a
bargain with him, or at least bckl out a tempting
ofier to htm, namely, that be ahoold be Secretary
cf the State, to vote for General Jackson ; and
he is the man who led the General to believs that
Mr. Gay and Mr. Adams made a corrupt bar
gun. He is the man who heard this charge
made, reiterated, sad the changes njtou it rung
a'l over the country fur fifteen or six teen years,
aad yet, knowing it to be false, never contradio
UdU. He is the man who said of Gen Clinch, in
1944, that be could maXe those Dutchmen in
Pennsylvania believe that Mr. Polk was a better
protective tariff man than Mr. Clay; and he is
tbe man who took the stump in Pennsylvania hi
the fall of 1144, and by pledgiog the honor of a
Ceutlemaa to the people of that State, that Mr.
Pulk was a better protective tariff man than Mr.
CUy, did nuke them believe It, and vote for Mr.
P.-lk, whereby they lost the tariff of 1S42, and
he g the t&re of Secretary of ttaU all of
ueh he knew be'oreLaud would take place;
a-i Le ia the same man who said in the Senate

WHO DID IT?
f ......
Thocgh whose special agency was the hill for
the aimivion f Kansas at m fm State, under
the Topckh Conatitstion, passed by the House of
RepreWnUitvest Who in responsibie for it 7
Wfcai party 7' Who did the deed 7 Is the Fill
mors party or the Buchanaa party the guilty
party- in thU matter 7 The record answers that
upon the Buchanan party rests all the blame 7
To tab Niraple but aigniocant fact, we call the
attentioo of the Southern people.
To ebow where the blame rests, for the paasaga
of the Kannu free State bill, we cite the following
brief, but faithful, account of the proceedings on
the subject from the New York Herald. Speak
in; of this bilL it says: " '
. Our readers will rememler that when first
brought tf the question of its panage, it was lost
by one vote ya 100, nays 101 very much to
toe coanternattou of the free sUte party, lae
report of the Kansas investigating . committee,
however, at this point fell among the Northern
Democracy of the House like a bomb-ehell ; and,
according to our correspondent, Mr. Barclsy, of
Pennsylvania, a "atrong Buchanan man" felt
the necessity of immediately taking the back track.
He had Tted againut this bill admitting Kansas
as a Free State, and by hi vote the bill had been
wt ; but with a night's reflection upon the pro
ceedio going on in the Senate, and upon the
aatonoding fact brot'gLt home by the Kansas
comisittre. Mr. Barclsy moved a reconsideration
of the final rote upon the House bill. There Was
an instantaneous rebellion against this motion by
the Southern Democrat; but it carried the re
consideration, and thus the original judgment of
the House was reversed, and the bill passed by a
vote of 101 to 99. It was Mr. Barclay's re-con-sideratioa
that did this business.'
Sure enough t ' It waa Mr. Barclay, of Penn
sylvania, a atrong, sealous, uncompromising
Bocbanaa man, who "did this business.'' He had
voted against the bill on its passage. A night's
sleep con ri need him of his error and changed his
opinions utterly. Consequently, Immediately af
ter the House met the next morning, he moved
a re-coosideratiou. The motion to re-consider
was carried,' and the bill for the admission of
Kansas, a a -res .State, was carried amid the
wildest exaltations of the Black Republicana.
This foul deed was done, says the "Richmond
Whig," by Mr. Barclay, of Pennsylvania by
(Heaven save the mark !) a national Democrat
by an, ardent friend and supporter of Buchanan
by one of the immortal "seventy-four" that sus
tained Richardson for the Speakership, and that
have been held up to the South, and Untied as
splendid specimens of Democracy, "pure and un-defiled.-
. - .
But why this sudden change of front on the
part of the Buchaxanued Barclay 7 Why his vote
agaitut the bill one day, and his hasty and my
sterious motion to re-consider it on the next 7
Why 7 Because the Democracy saw. that the
loss of that bill a bill admitting Kansas as s frt
State would operate terrible mischief to Bu
chanan's prospects ia all the Northern Slates !
And so they consulted and caucused together on
that night, and they determined to prevent dis
aster to Buchanan and the party, by mating
Barclay a Buchanan man get up in the House,
earir the next morning, and move for a re-consideration.
This motion, being made by a Bu
chanan man, it could be argued at the North, dur
ing the entire campaign, that the free State bill
for Kansas was soMtf in the House by the friends
of Buchanan. And the Southern Democrats, who
voted both against the bill and the motion to r
conaiiler, would come home and swear that Bar
rlay had forfeited his right to be considered a
Democrat, and eras denounced aa such by the
hole Democratic brotherhood. We have no
doubt, ourselves, that Barclay acted in strict ac
cordance with the wishes snd suggestions of a
caucus of his party, North aad South. It was
necessary to try to save Buchanan in Pennsyl
vania and the North, aad hence, the Democracy,
forgetting the South and thinking only of party
success, concluded to force the passage of the bill
fir the addiniaaion of Kansas as a frte State.
" We invite Southern attention to this ugly and
ftignificAnt fact. b It shows the double game which
the locofoco party mesa to play in the present
canvass. In the North, they are running Buch
anan upon the gTOund that he is favorable to
frtt Kansas. In the Fouth, he is lteld np to us by
some of his friends as the best Southern man
among us. If be is not a good enough Abolition
ut for the North, it is argued by his friends in
that region, why sbould Martin Van, and the
Prince, and Old Bullion, and so many other emin
ent free-soil ers, be supporting him 7 .We con
fess the argument thus employed is a clincher.
No Abolitionist, however astute be may be, can
get around it. It is a regular bruiser. It at
once silences all objections to oli Buck on the
part of the Black Republicans. These latter feel
perfectly safe. It makes no difference with them
whether Buchanan or Fremont is elected. Either
will answer their purposes well enough. Both
believe that Congress possesses unlimited power
over the subject of slavery in the Territories.
Both are eager for Kansas to be admitted as a
free State, under the Topeka Constitution. And
of the two, Buchanan ia the more acceptable to
all true Abolitionist because he will be guided
sad controlled by the counsels of Martin Van Bu
ren ! I For fifteen years under the weather, Mar
tin Van Buren is once more at the top of the
Udder, and is again' the chieftun of the Demo
cratic party of the country ! Long may he wave I
THE THREE PARTIES.
"Mr. Seward The day for compromises is past.

Mh Seward Ad so am I.
"Mr. Crittenden I would compromise to the
last moment of time, provided we could "preserve
the original prii.cipiea on which the government
was erected.
The above extract, from the debate in the Sen
at on Wednesday last, is a fair and forcible ex
position of the principles of the three parties now
befvre the country. "Rule or ruin" is the spirit
of the twb ; "to preserve and bless (he country" is
the ruliug motive with nine-tenths of the suppor
ters of Mr. Fillmnr. With which party will a

The CoAxrriOJr between "Democrats'1 abo
Abolitionists. We are surprised at the silence
of the Southern Democratic press over the coali
tion that has been 'ormed between I Abolitionists
and Democrats in support of Mr. Buchanan on
the platform of his anti-tdavery revolutions of
1819. This unholy Co ilit ion was commenced in
the Cincinnati Couvention, by the reception into
that body of the Abolition delegation from New
York, and seating them side by side with the De
mocratic delegation from the same State. After
that Convention adjourned, this coalition was car
ried still further by Mr. Dickinson's and Mr. Van
Buren 's endorsement of their nominees the for
mer being a Democrat and the latter an Aboli
tionUt. . Why hare the Foreign party press rais
ed no outcry against such a coalition as this 7
Why are they as careful to hush this up, as they
were to keep the people ignorant of their agency
in electing Mr. Sumner to the United States Sen
ate 7 And why, again, do they suppress the
Abolition articles that fill the columns of their
Northern journals 7 Why do they carry water
on both shoulders? Why are . they trying to
cheat the North and South both 7 These" ques-
ttous they will have to answer at the polls, though
they be dumb now.
Suppose that hoary-headed old conspirator
against the South, (Martin Van Buren,) had form
ed the same coalition with Mr. Fillmore that he
has with Mr. Buchanan, whea would the Foreign
party outcry against it cease 7 - Just let -sober
people of all parties reflect upon that.
When we look at all the diverse alliances
which the Foreign i party .has formed, and con
template the different tone preached by them at
the North to that preached at the South, we can
not resist the conviction that they are worse than
those 'black republicans' whom they so much
aba-v. The latter are honest, whilst the so-called
democrats are dishonest. The republicans carry
but one face, whilst the " democrats" carry half
a dosen' i
t&" la what condition would the country
have been placed in 1850, had Mr. Buchanan, in
stead, of Mr. Fillmore, been President 7 The
compromise measures, which restored tranquility
to the nation, would, in all probability, have been
vetoed, and the demon of discord let loose. For
tunately for the country, it hsd a national man
a friend to the Couatitutioaund Uuiou, at the
head of affairs and peace and order were hap
pily preserved. . The one act of signing those
compromise measures should endear Mr. Fill
more to the South, and convince every man.
North and South, of his sincere devotion, to the
best interests of his country. It would, indeed,
be strange, if the South were to pass by a tried
and approved statesman, and take up an indivi
dual, who, throughout his whole public course,
haa exhibited nothing but irresolution and in
consistency. It would be to wantouly jeopard
their dearest rights on an experiment. Southern
men are reputed to possess patriotism and com
mon sense ; but they would exhibit little oi either
by preferring James Buchanan to Millnrd Fill
more. Let other Southern States do as they
may, we assert the belief, with tne utmost confi
dence, that the electoral votes of North Carolina
will be cast for FJlmore and Donelson I
ay- -
The ."Bonk asd Sinew" are all fob Fill
xobe. The New York Express gives the result
for President in a number of extensive manufac
turing establishments in that vicinity. In every
instance Mr. Fillmore has a large majority, and
Buchanan the least number of votes. The me
chanics will not support the man who' arzued
that the wages of working men in this country
should be reduced to ten cents a day.

. It is stated on the authority of friends of Jodge
McLean ia rhuadelpaia, that he has declared that
Mr. Fillmore is by far the most-safe and respec

compelled to support him. . Judge McLean has a
large numoer oi aevotea menus ana admirers who
have unbounded confidence in his sagacity and
patriotism, and will go with -him in supporting
Fillmore. The sound,, conservative men among
the maases ef our countrymen everywhere will
give Weir support to the American candidate,
who altoe, or all the aspirants to the Presidency,
has placed himself upon purely national ground,
and has declared open hostility to sectionalism

INDISCREET FULMINATTONS.
A Southern orator, referring to the possibility
of a civil war,, says that, in such an event, the
South would triunapa over the North, because of
its superior spirit and valor.
"It is just such taunts as these, both from
North and South, which have done more mis
chief, in engendering bad bieod, than any other
cause which could be named. . it has been "aid,
that when you. wish to make a mortal foe of a
woman, you have only to reflect upon her beau'
ty ; or of a mi in, upon his understanding, and,
we may adopt bis valor. . No matter whether'
the reflection be just or not, it is equally galling,
perhaps even. more so when deserved. We
do not yield to any man in an exalted opinion of
Southern courage, and in the event of a Northern
invasion, we feel ure that the South would be
more than able to defend itself and drive back its
invaders. There . are : reasons , enough for that
conviction withou t placing a derogatory estimate
upon Northern "a pirit and. valor." In the war
of the Revolution, in the last war with England,
and in the war wit h Mexico, Northern and South
ern men fought si de by side, and exhibited a valor
worthy .of the commou descent of both from the
same brave old A' nglo-Saxoq stock.- The North
may have had anionopoly of Arnolds and Burrs,
but we ought .to recollect that the courage of
Arnold and of Burr was fully equal to their ras
cality. Evera conceding the North to be the ene
my of the Soathr (which is not true of , the mas
ses of her people J we gain nothing by underrat
ing an enemy. Ln the midst of excitement, let
us, whilst with kee n eyes and strong hands we
keep watch over Southern interests, add nd un
necessary fuel to a flame which is burning fierce
ly enough already. Bich. Di.

''.,v;- OPENING OF THE CANVASS, v 1
"' Me. Gales : I attended, the political discus
juon'ai Spikes' ,precinct, in this, county on the
16th ult, and propose giving a plain narration,
of the occurrences of the day. I can of course
give merely meagre and shadowy outlines of the
speeches of the several candidates. Three or
four hundred of "the sovereigns" were present.
Raleigh was largely represented land it was even
slyly whispered, that one or two dark lanterns.
had been aeeu "about in spots.' Ten o'clock ar
rived. Win. H. High, Esq., arose and the per
formance" commenced. Having asked "all the
Clever .fellows to vote for hinv ' and skimming
lightly over bis ' know-nothing experience; the
shenn yielded the stand to his opponent Major
Jones. The Major thought "no man should hold
the office, more - than four . years thought
had fomented discord, and created' confusion in
that party Mr. High replied.
Moses A. Bleoaoe,oreii carkiwiate, next ap
peared ; and announced himself as the "nominee'
of what he (facetiously) styled "the Great Na
tional, Conservative, Democratic Party" the
only national party in the country., "The rest
1 according to Moses) were mere factious. Mr.
Medsoe was dressed for the occasion. His face
was Hushed his feet were firmly planted,- and
his glance was bold, belligerent and pelf-reliant.
He proclaimed in tones of thunder, that . "the
edict had gone forth the fearful decree' had
been fulminated, from the gloomy recesses of
Know-Nothing Council-Chambers ;" that he
Moses A Bedsoe-should be, beaten"! yes 1
FeHow-Citizens beaten I I He cautioned "the
dear people" to beware of the insidious wiles of
the midnight marauders. "He was'nt a "Son o
Temperance never had been. "This' charge
was a miserable Know-Nothing lie 1" The Sous
of Temperance shou.d vote en masse Tor Moses.
Yes I every mother's son of them for did not
Moses say that he did not consider it a disgrace
to belong to their order 7 Growing warmer and
warmer, Moses ranted and reared, bellowed and
snorted at a fearful 'rate- Like the chivalric
Knight of La Mancha, in his far-famed assault
upon the windrnMs,', Mr. B. with rash and mis
guiaed valor, plunged into the culvert, fath
omed its gloomiest depths, and dragged to light
the ghastly, hideous, grinning skeleton -of Know
Nothingism. After reading its bloody oaths
disclosing its damning mysteries, and describing
with awful minuteness all the dark and intricate
workings, of its infernal machinery ; he ceased.
I see Mr. Editor in perusing the above, that I
compare Moses to Don Quixote. Now this .was
a most egregious mistake ; for at Spikes "-the
assault, was certainly made by the wiND-mill. .
Next arose the Hon. Sion i, Rogers. Never
has it been my fortune to listen to a more lucid
exposition, or a more eloquent defence of the

by saying, that he " was very dry," his speech
