BUCHANAN NOMINATED
The Slave power by its Convention
at Cincinnati which assembled on the
2nd of this month, placed in domination
as its 'candidate for the Presidency the
Hon. James Buchanan of Pennsylvania.
To an intelligent man, honestly in
favor of preserving Kansas from the
curse of Slavery, it would not make
the slightest difference who was nom
inated at this convention s as the ncmi
nee had a platform made for _him• in
advance, and it was a *Slavery plat
form. So far 'as freedom in Kansas
and the other Territories are concern
ed it is all one whether Pierce, or
Douglas, or Buchanan is the instru
ment for carrying it out.
But to those men, who desire an ex
cuse fur betraying the cause of free
dom still further, this nomination is
acceptable because, Buchanan,' having
been out of the way while the last out
rages were enacted, is not so odi- •
oils as the. immediate actors, but the
platform.noto adopted, is more intense
ly pro-slavery, than the one adopted
four years ago for Franklin Pierce to
stand on, and Mr. Buchanan if elect
ed will do all that the Slave power *re
quires of him, - just as his predecessor
has done. 119 tannet escape from
these. even if he. would,,-because he_
and. his fiends have placed themselves
completely at the service of the South
in order to secure the nomination.
The-Pennsylvania State Convention,
which choose Buchanan_ delegates, en
dorsed the Administration of Franklin
_Pierce, and thereby.pledged Buchan
an to carry out the same work. of ty
ranny if elected.
liouF.e we say, no man who desires
to prevent the subjugation 3 f Kaqs as
ta the slave power will think .of voting
fur James Buchanan, who says he s' re
gards the present. state of the slavery
question as a finality,": which a friend
suggestS is truly a blessed finality—
a. state of Cipil
.T far.
PROGRESS OF THE WAR.
St. Louts, Tune 5, 1856
A letter to The Democrat from
Leavenworth, May 31, says a company
of Pro-Slavery men, some days pre
vious, had waited on the Free State
Settlers, and commanded them to leave
K.S.usis within a specified time, or suf
fer the consequences. Mr. Philips,
the corresporiAent of, 'lire TRIBUNE,
being conwelled to leave, went to Law
rence. Judge Conway who, was
arrested on the 23th, was confined that
day and night, with guars seatfoned
over hiin, but on the folloWing Morn:
ing was releaseli, and commanded to
leave the Territory. Not obeying, he
.was that evening conducted by a C0n 4 . ..
mitten abc&d the steamer, and sent
down the river. Mr. Latta, rrnother
Judge was ordered to leave, -aud
sa. Robert Riddle had also left.
Seveial otters have beeti - cOnfrearided
to leave. Mr. Shoemaker, a lartd,re,
*c . eiver . ; and the Government officer in
"Kansas known to be a Free-State than
is to. be notified' o leave. .LcidY Le'av
:enWorth has ago beer. ady . ised to move
away to avoid' - difficiqhlr. The 'writer
says the Free-State:Men do :not•mani
fest suffidierit nerve for the crisis, but
thinks that if the reports are true that
the Free State settlers in the to - uthi
-eft! part of t'he Territory-arein arms,
and compelling the Ero,Slavery men
to retreat to Missouri, the effect'; will
be good in the northern pa . q." It 4 is
reported`that :five hendred men "are
marching from "Wisconsin to 'Kansas,
bit it is probably' without foundation..
The Kansas City E . nterpvise (Pro- ,
Sl . avery,) issued ap extract. on the 3d
fristent, which is republished to-Jay in
The Evening Area's. This extra says
that J. M. Baynafti left . St: Bernard
for Westport on Friday last, and as
fie bas not been heard from since, it
is supposed that he has been murdered
by the Abolitionists. John W. Farman,
H. Harhilton' and John Luk went out"
in seareh of Baynard, were taken by
the Abolitionists and threatened with
hanging. The" extra further says :
Marshal Donaldson and seven men, on
Friday pight last, were fired upon
from Walford's house, near Lawrence,
by a party ofso Abolitionists. A short
conflict ensued, which resulted in the
woundingof several of the Marshal's
posse. H. H. Carty, just • from the
Territory, states that some men be
longing to the same company with
himself were attacked and all serious
ly injured by the Abolitionists. He
came for men and horses, and twenty
five of Buforo party will immediate- 1
ly start to the respqe. Cap. Pattis's
company, numbering 45, men went to
Hickory Poirit to suppress the out
rages in that vicinity;: but were attack
ed-by 150 Abolitionists, and• two of
his men killed. Another fight between
the same parties occured near Black
.Tack, in which 9 A;bolitionists and 13
Pro-Slavery men were killed, among
whom were Capt. •Pattii and James'
McGee. Cap. Long's company of
Wyandotte Indians were united to
Cap. Pattis's command.
The above facts were well known at
Cincinnati before the adoption of the
platform, and yet no allusion was made
by the . Conventipo, to the civil war
raging in Kansas. The trouble in Kan
sas could 4.11 he disposed of immedi
ately, if ,Tames Buchanan only desires
it, and had back-bone enough to say
the word. , But he expects the vole of
eyery slave holding,state, and this he
deems of more importance than the
lives of the, people of Kansas,. and so
the war, will go on, for the 'free, state
men will not leave the Territory, no
matterlthw Many times they are order
ed to de so, by those who now , think
themselves masters.
TEE NOMINATIQN OF . 3113. lIITCHALNAN.
In thinly-settled parts of our coun-.
try, where - the banks of the rivers are
covered with forests of large trees,
the woodmen drag the trunks to the
water, that they maybe floated dowri
towards the market by. the spring
floods. If any of these people, in com
mitting 4 particular lug to the stream,
were to say, ." There, now, is a log
that will not swim with the current;
you will see this fellow floating up
stream ;" his companions would - either
suppose that he was joking, or else
that he had lost his wits. A new log
has been - dragged to the river at Cin
cinnati, and it would be the dream of
a madman to suppqse that it will take
aey otho 4 . direction than those which '
have goat) over the rapids
. before it;.
-It is a log, after all ; it is launched up
on a current which is sweeping along
with it like'its predecessors.
Buchanan, whom the. Cincinnati Con
vention have proposed - as a candidate
for the Presidency of the United
States, is not a man in whose charac
ter the element of conscientious - re,
sistance forms a part. He is one who
has over floated passively on the.patty
current, careful only to steep some
where near the middle of the stream,
as the place of the greatest personal
safety. Of himself he is wholly unen
terprising, but he has capacities which
makes it worth while to employ him
as an instrunient. It wets a curious
spectacle presented at the Conven
tion when, as soon as the struggle for
the nomination of either Pierce or
Douglas was, seen to be absolutely
hopeless, the different personal fac ,
tions represented in that body. rushed
to take united possession of Buchantm,
and placed him upon their platform—
t.fie raft they had constructed—and on
which he. must-float to where Pierce
has floated before him.
In an examination of the political
character of Mr. Buchanan which we
made some months since, and in which
we showed the superiority of his
chances foe a nomination; we alluded
to the character of his associates and
confederates. No public man of our
day is surrounded by so profligate a.
set of foliowers and adMirers. He is
the centre of a circle of unprincipled
and restless adventurers, whom men
of higher degree or self-respect avoid.
Thftre is pqmething.--we suppose it
consists iu the ease with . which he is
managed—which attracts to him that
class of persons, and he seems to be '
perfectly content associations
thus acquired.
•A - o . tv completely he-is in their EIQW•
er is . shown in those remarkable acts.
of his life, the Ostend confer:fence and
the Ostend Afariifeste: The object of
the ConferenCe—a meeting_ of the
envoys and diplon ii atiii agents of our
country in Eurp . pe 7 ,was to prescrihe
th . ahr goveinment the line of foreign
policy it ought : to pursue ; and the do
sigh of the Manifesto wai`to persuade
it to seize upon the island of Cuba,
wresting it from 'Spain by force,' for
the reason that its possession . is rieces .
say to the security and permanence .
of our great national institution ; slave
ry. In that document the same gi ohnd
was taken in regard to the seizure of
Cuba that has since been taken in re
gard to the seizure-of Kansas by the
Missourians, and in regard tq
ing . our members of regard
by
knocking them down. The interests
of slavery require violent measures—
measures in Whieli all regard .to.the
rights of otherS is to be thrown aside.
That was the prieciple" of the Os
tend Manifesto as it has been the prin
ciple ofthe atrocities which have since
been perpetrated here at home.
We 'do not attribute the Ostend Con,:
ference and Manifesto to Mr. Buchan
an's instigation. It was both a wicked
and a foOlfsh affair in which he engag
ed, and.well deserved the rebuke it
mot from. our Secretary of the State.
If the advicn yyhich ?4r. Buchanan was
then persuiled to give had been, taken,
a war would have ensued--a - war . Of
unjust riggression, the Ares of which
might be 'blazing • yet, rind in which .
our commerce would have, been con
sumed. let nobody' believes that the
scheme was Mr. Buchanan's biven
tion, though he adopted it. and made
himself responsible for it: He was
pushed into it by those who had poi
session of him, and by whose Sugaes
tionS he allowed his conduct to be Qu
enced; he - was floated into that enormi:
ty by the current in which lie lay, as he
will yet be into others of a like chacar
ter it he should succeed in the compe
tition for Presidency.
If Mr. Buchanan could see no harm
in seizing upon Cuba for the protec
tion atslayery, it is not likely. that he
will entertainany scruples concerning
the seizure of Kansas by the slave,
holders and their myrmidons, for the
same purpose. Rely upon it, that..b.at,
tie is to go on as. it has begun, unless
stopped by the defeat ofthe Cincinnati
candidate; there . is to be no compro
mise with the - residents ofthe territory ;
no slackening of the persecution by
which they are to be driven out that
their places may be supplied by the
slavedrivers and their gangs. If Mr.
Buchanan is elected, the seal of ap
proval will he set by the people of the
nited :States on all the fraud, all the
Aiolence, all the usurpation, all the
hurningi, robberies and murders,• the
news of which, for so many months,
has been the melancholy burden of the
mails from the West. _ lie will be as
easily purseaded 'into a co-operation
with these atrocities as he was into the
folly of the Ostend 1 1 .4aniresto.—Eve.

BY THEIR FRUITS YE SHALLIENOW.THEN
The beauties of popular sovereignty
are being illustrated with a yengeance
in Kansas. We cannot imagine how
any man with common souse could ex
pect any other result thaq the one
which now Shucks the feelings and
arouses the indignation of every per
son not absolutely in favor of ex
tending human bondage over all our
fair country. ;The rule or principle ,
which govern the slaveholder is, of
course, that might makes right ; that
because he• can, he will enslave his
fellow being. And we may always
expect with mural certainty, that. wher
ever possible the same rule will be
put in force, ••
_4ll he asks is power; and it matters
not whether the victim be the black
man whom he wishes to reduce to ser
vitude or a white Senator or Free
State - settler in KansaS; or any other
person who stands in his way, the same
rule of brute force is invariably ap
plied. The slaveholders demanded
the right:to enslaye Kansas if brute
force would do it, arid.our Northern
pretended Democrats • immediately
Conceded it. Then the slaveholder,
true to his instincts of , making
other people 4o his dirty work for
him, - calls .on the President of the
United States to assist him to execute
laws which deny the rights of nature
to the black. The rightoffreeepeech
and a free press, the right of suffrage
and the right to sit as a juror -to the
free white settlers who differs with
him in political opinion and ttelieye
with . Jefferson that
.slavery iv a sin
agaihst God: Strange and horrible as
it may seem to the impartial mind,
the President responds to the call and
is now using all the vast power at his
comtattrid to enforce laws which would
disgrace the barbarians of the Feegee
Is}►ds. •
•,
• I Kenr to the laws of the - bogus
-legislature of Kansas. The doctrine
of John C.'Calitoun which he boldly
advocated in the halls of Cungrci that
"The capitalist ought always to own
the laborer whether black or white"
and that this was the normal condition
of society, has nor as yet been-incor
porated into the Democratic creed,
btit how long at the pr3sent rate, of
progress towards despotism by. that
misnamed party (the name should
s be
despotic party) before it Will be, is cer
tainly but a few years at the longest.
And Mr. Editor we sometimes wish
if Kansas is ever euslavud that the
former of slavery -which Calhoun ad
vocated may prevail and that some
your northern apologists of Pierce &
co., who Imre already bargained away
their so - als fora mess of pottage"
may have the delectable privilege of
being owned both soul and body by
the Rußan Aristoeracy they are now
in love with.

LAWRE:NH';E, May 26, 1756.
EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL You
will have heard before this time from
the Tribune and other sources, of the
destruction of the Free State Hotel
and the two Free State presses, the
plundering of the private property, of
"our citizens, and the outrages on the
lives of several unarmed men. I will
state the principal facts as few
words as possible,_ .
After the attempted arrest of Gov.
Reeder here, the Marshal of the. Ter
ritory issued a proclamation calling
upon every citizen to come to Le
compton, enroll himself in the possie
fur the purpose of enforcing the law
and arresting Reeder (who is proably
now in . Washing-ton) and other men
who had resisted the laws. To this
call the Platte County Rifle company,
the Kickapoo Rangers, and Major
Buford's Soutbernors responded, to
the number of FIVE lUNDRED
AND TWENTY SEVEN MEN. Of
these, three hundred and nine were
horsemen all drilled and trained sol
diers. As suer. as the people of Law
rence heard of the - assembling of this
force under the U. S, Marshal, a Meet
ing; was called - *and a Committee of
Safety was appointed to take the mat
ter into consideration. Gen. Porrte.,
roy was its chairman and after debate
it Was finally concluded not to resist
the U.S. Marshal and posse as it
would -be treason so to do, but to let
thein make all arrests peaceably land
quietly. A correspondence was open
ed with the Marshal and he assured
them that no private property would .
be destroyed if they. adhered to the
policy they had, adopted of non-resis
tance to the U. S. Laws.
On the Morning of the 2.lst inst. the
force above named, armed with shot.
guns Knives, Sharps Rifles, and U. S.
Uoverriment Rifles,. Revolvers, broad
Swords, cutlasses* and other Iveap.
ops marched into Lawrence and placed
their cannons se as to cover the fiee
State lintel. : Flgs of various kinds
floated over their heads; One with a
blood red ground and a single white
star in the center over which was
inscribed the words " Southern
Rights" and on the reverse "South
Carolina" is worthy of notice as be
ing the one which was placed on the
reef of the Herald of Freedom office
when the mob threw the press and
types in the river, Another had black
and white stripes, and over the can
nons .w.hich the same day laid . onr
City in ruins ; floated that glerions
escutcheonr, significant everywhere of
freedom, the stars and stripes—L.Ltho
star Spangled banner.
About noon the Marshal arrested
Col.G.sius Jenkins; and Judge Smith,
who had just returned from the East
G. W. Detzler, Gov. Rubinson's .pri-
Gate Secretary all charged with Trea
son. (Col. Jenkins, was arrested twice,
before within two weeks and discharg
ed: These men together with G. W.
Brown and Gov. Robbinson are now
impriconed at Tiecompten, and guar
ded by U. S. dragoons.) The - Mar
shal then disbanded, the posse in our
streets and Sheriff Jones (who was
vi.fonirded a few weeks ago here, and
murdered by the Border Ruffians,
newspapers and was buried by them
with - great military honors) immedi
ately summoned them as his posse,
and demanded our arms which were
given up, on condition : that if they
were allerwards fbund to be private -
property they would be returned,—.-
This was all, very well so far; as the
people supposei that Jones was act
ing as Deputy Marshal, and as they
knew nothing about the charge •of
command, supposed him to be Depu
ty and used him as such. • What was
the surpise of - the
stated that he was going to destrby
the hotel and- printing presses, can be
more easily' imagined than described.
1 stood beside Jones, vhen he stated
that the building kticiivtrai the, Free
State Ho:el and the - city newspapers
were presented . by theCirand•Jury of
Douglas County as public nuisances
and that Judge Lecompie' ordered
thernto hedestroyed and . that as.SherifF
of D.ouglas County. he would execute
the orders. He gave the people one
hour to get out of the hotel;
The rest of the story is soon told.—.
The presses were tkken by the mob.
to the river, broken, and sunk there;
types and books destroyed; the hotel
which' cost its - - proprietors I nearly
sfii) 000 after being. .cannonaded for
an hour was finally burnt down; houses
broken. into, pillaged and . Ohba - a . ;
women insulted and driven with their
children into the woods and ravines
for safety. What, were the. men of .
Lawrence doing
. 3.11 this tirnel Some
of their taking care of their- wives and
little ones; some looking on the tie,
tions of the mob, apparently amazed..
at their. audacity, some- pitching-in .
with their tongues an.dfists, all afraid,
of being called traitors if they resisted,
in any way whatever the actions of
those men over whom that glorious
American flag waved so triumphantly
lest they should be called traitors!
At dark the mob went buck to their,
camps, on. their way they set-fire to..
Gov. 'Robinson's -house whicti - was
burned to the greund-. Since that
time nine different murders and -
tempted murders have • been com
mitted by guerillor bands of these
Southern ruffians, upon unarmed fro., .
State men generally when at worlJon,
their claims - . United States dragoons:
are now stationed over the Territory.
to prevent the free. State men from
organizing, by special orders from
Shannon. But they will organize.
nevertheless, - and in case the dragoons .
interfere, I think, (and it is . only
private opinion) the people will
declare themselves an ludepeudent.
Republic and sustain their Declara
tion of Independence by the force of
arms against the U. S. TrocipS and the
U, S. Mobs combined, or die In the
attempt. This is. a sad alternative,
but it is the alternative .of desperation. .
Goo .IPOII,BID that this should' ever take
place—that-- it should ever seem,:
necessary to take this step—but I be

will be the signal - for this step,. and .

ALTON. ILLINOIS, June 34,.185G.
Eb. of TzE—JounNAL: I arrived in
this city'yesterday on my way „East.;
This is the home of Judge Trumball
the U. S, Senator, who looks after S..
A. Douglas so sharp. The city. is,
situated on the - East bank of the ls.tis
sippi *it two or three 'miles above
the mouth of.the Missouri, and is one
of the most beautifully located. cities
of the West. Ei g hteen years ago this
city witnessed the murdet of Lovejoy,.
a martyr to the Freedam of speech,
and the destruction of his press. Well
what was the result ? What did it
effect for the slmie power? Why to
day, and for the last four yearS theie
has been an anti-Slavery Daily paper
published here; and it pays. Yes sir:
The Allan Daily Cogrier is one of the
institutions of Illinois; and success to
it.
I presented G. W. Browri's cade
to the people here, and they subscrib
ed between $4OO and E5OO, for a new
_Herald of Freedom. The people bare
determined to show that they are
ashamed of the disgrace which attach
es to them in the case of the - martyr
Lovejoy and desire to place them
selves right on the record befoie the
world. It is somewhat remarkable
that such a man as Trumbull should
come from the borders of Missouri,
from a place where Border Ruffians
triumphed Ei g hteen years ago. But
it is cheering to the friends of Free.
dom to know that such changes aro
continually •
going on. And though
Border Ruffianism may 'triumph in
Kansas fii a dai or a few months she
will redeem 49rtielf in the end as' Al
on has dope. TRUTH cannot be
"crushed out." Thank God • for that
