in reference to Mr. Buchanan, that "tritie sure

Missouri compromise and the vexed question
of slavery." It •was n u t ,so much' hi s
"views'' in the abstract, to which I have heard
exceptions, as the tone and occasion of ex
pressing them. Many, I know, did think, and
myself among the number, that they were un
called for and unnecessary at the time at which
fir. B. chose to write his letters on the eve of
important •
an state election, which did not-in
volve any matter thrown out in it; and I think
no ardent friend of our-presentelk client State
Administration could fail to feel hat at that
particular juncture dm had better have kept
his "views" to himself, on that "vexed ques

one of national or state importance, nc . ,`Fr„t re troy
