JAMES BUCHANAN—THE SECRET OF HIS GREAT SOUTHERN POPULARITY.

The. true ei ’ret Buchanan's great p<|puJarity in th. Sunt' that enabled him to/carry every Southern Stat e.t ‘he time of.his . election, except Mary!'"/ has. recently, ■come out in a letter written by him .on [the 1 day of Dei cinl-I><b4, to the Hon . John Slidell of Louisiana, irr which he uses I •the' following language.: ■'The Misj.-j.ri Uiompron, -■ is gond, aind .gone forever .It .has depart : Thetim? .for'it has passed a■. ay, imd th best, nay t|h.e only mode riov ' f‘ of putting wi'pn the fanatical arid reck'.. ss spirit of the Xonth,.is . to adhere to the existing settlement wi,tho|ut the slightest thought or appearance’oif' wavering, and without -regarding any storm that ma- ’ raised .against it.‘ The fanatical and reckless. spirit cf tf' Aiorth consists in the denial of th« "Id Calhoun doctrine that the Con- . stitution carr it s ■ slavery with it into the Terriiories.’d ‘ ■ i ' |" | The letter which contained the toregoing ; was, published and carefully circulated among the politicians and wire-workers of I the South, buWw-ijß as Carefully withheld . from..circulation I rii&rth ofl‘Magoji «&r Dixorife j line until after the ‘Presidential election. By thus proclaiming to the South his adhesion to the infamous Calhoun doctrine, do dear to slave-holders and slavery-propagaifi-, • iiats, he was enabled t<> carry /every South- , ■t-rn State, save one little one;' and by carefully concealing These, his true sentiments , tn the North a-d falsely wearing allegiance to "popular scverelguty.,” tAi tr very opposite,he was. enabl'd to carry Pennsylvania and

Indiana, and these .insured His election. In this Calhoun doctrine, adopted in toadyism . to the ’South by Buchanjjn,. is :seen the on- ' ■gin oi-ttit- infarftb.us dicta-of the fiye cor.-j nipt Judges ■ : the ryupreme Court of tliiir United States, in the !|red Scott d -cision: which decision and dicta, it is .riow Well ass ■ertairied, wore w.rit.ten out months belord ithe Presidential election: but from ■ e.cpedtertcy and political reasons were -withheld 'front the public till after- the eli’cti ■ m..

Such is Buchanan Democracy is it genuine!

THAT MISSING RESOLUTIONS.

j After the return from the Convention) which nominated David Snyder, Esq., fort ; Representative., of the from, this ! county, i,t was publicly annoe-i-t d by at ■least two'.prominent members of th Lemo-I cratic party, who were present at that Cor vt-ntion, that the C invention Adopted as a part of its plat - of principles a resolu Hon wh--Ki indorsed, in terns, the Gre.-n English bill Sag- then v-- hav-- been informed by men who were present at the |. Convention, and whose veracity is above 1 question, that such a resolution was adopted; but in the platform, as published in the F.c- ■ . . . . i positor, this resolution was, tor some cause, omitted. Why is this! Is it possible that David Snyder, Esq,, (who, according to the j Expositor. will, just as certain as two and two-make four, be the in -xt Representative, .from this disttict',) thought the platform in) this shape, is rather toil strong for him to go .before the voters'of this district upon, and' that it was stricken lout lor his accommoda-' tjon! But the editor of the Union Democrat,] it seems, is not “up snuff.” He, not being posted by that model of political consistency, Hon Da-id Snyder,b(we suppose the editor ot' the Erpm'lfor'is SO Certain of David's election that lie confers this title upon him. iu anticipation,) has, in the innocence : - A lieart, supposed that when a conven,ti -n adopted a resolution it was to bo pub-, lis’hi'd as a part of its platform, and hence '., has most absurdly stuc,k in this resolution among the others. We opine that this suppression-of their ) principles would be well for the bogus De-, mocraey of this county,-if thev could c.'mlvj keep from the knowledge of th" people .the [- fact ot the suppression: but "there's the rub. . The-fact that such a resolution was passed is too '.veil established by uniiripeaehai testimony —-aye, by the testimony of their' own leaders—to be- disputed: and that it does not appear in the published platform,.! is something which may well excite the in quiry above—“ Why is this' so !" It may do for the nominee of that Convention to deny .that he stands upon a platform which indorses - that compound of iniquity—the odious Green-English swindle—and to flourish the. Expositor in proof of bis denial; but j when it is established by the testimony of such men as Geo. W. Spitler, Esq., E. I’. Hammond, Esq., Paris Robinson, Thomas i Antrim, and many others of equal rqspcct.iib.ility, as Well us by the platform innocent ,ly published in the Union IKmcvrct, tio-i’l such a resolution was adopted at that Convention, what will the voters of this county think o'l tint party and the man who can at-, tempt to, ride into power upon such mean: and contemptible schemes as this! We arti not surprised at this suppression , upon the part of the "bogus Democracy—it i is no; new thing with them. It is not beyond the memory of “the oldest inhabitant” that a cortain-. Convention at Indianapolis saw lit to suppr-e;s—not a whole resolution. i4fut one word: and why sh-. ild not the ox- ’ . ample of that Convention be n-.i; roved upon , by. one held at a later day, Democra " 'being! I . “ . . ° I : understood to be <when.il suits the wire-' pullers-of the party progressive! f , We feel, a litt.l- 1 curious as to the explana t.ioii wlii- h the llxposildr v. ill gi\w of this) strange proceeding; but wr venture the pre- ' diction that no -Hurt upbp its part will suf-I tier to account lor this mutilation of their platform: and a simple denial will not do: the thing is too well substantiates! to be put aside in that, manner. The only thing it! can do is. to trot out the missing resolution. I Let us -have it. by all means, brother Berry. I I . J 'j

’ iyO 'The first number ot the Democratic , }'. ipositor , the new Lecompton paper of this place,.made its appearance on Thursday last, i arid is, mechanically, a very respectablelooking sheet, but politically, xAitrt a pity! ■ what a pity! Mr. J. A. Berry, the editor of, tin Expositor, is, apparently, very much of a gentleman and, outside of politics, we; think that upon acquaintance, appearances in this' r apect. will prove a solid reality; j bat in politics he is actually so far demented as to en dorse andfeupp.ort old Jim Buchanan, a:. . bis Administration, in every respect:, ail : Administration that holds the infamous, an-■ ti-Democratic, doctrine, i ; that-, the Constitution of the United States ; carries slavery into all the Territories of the . United States, and holds it there in defiance of tire will,'and the wishes, of the people of the Territories; thus completely annihilating, and denying, the great-doctrine of pop- , ular sovereignty; an Administration ‘hat lias used all its power and patronage to enforce upon the people of Kansas an od: .s ' pro-slavery Constitution, after they had : ' .ected, and declared their abhorrence of it b; ! over ten thousand majority; an Administra ; tion that during the first year of its p<m ■ ! m a time of proi'ound- peace, squandurt ' over one hundred millions of dollars -ind i-r

r 't < ' ' creased the national debt-over forty millions of dollars, an Administration that has reduced political bribery and corruption to a science; that meacures men’s capability for office by their venality and lack of integrity, principle and honesty; and regards adherence to integrity and principle as al crime to be punished by - ; ministration that, with its predecessor, has , turned what was once the great Democratic, party into a mere machine for the propaga- , ♦ion and ext-.-sion of slavery ; An Administration *hat got into power by humbugging the N<.-*h, by preaching popular sovereign- i ty; and by preaching.in the South its true sentiments in a letter written by James j Buchanan, to John Slidell, o-f Lousiana, of I December 2tf, , (published, and carefully ; circulated in the South alone,,before the! election;) that "t're fanatical and reckless spir- < it of the North consist* in the denial of the. old Calhoun doctrine, that the., Constitution iarries , slavery with it into the Territories.” ■ This in- , famous- doctnne'of John G. Callmuh. thus - avowed by Jim Buchanan, has been the polar star of his Administration since it came into power. And this Administration that practices and upholds the political heresies aforesaid with many others too tedious to ; mention, the editor of the Expositor iindertakes to uphold ami -sustain among the ’intelligent people of .Jasper. He will find, that he has an Atlas burden that crushed his predecessor- of the Hanner, and will -sink him in our free prairie soil.anywh- r<- pp to the eyes Better .stand from under, fHend Berry, fact.
