We should like to hoar a man show
bow ho is opposing slavery, or aim
ing at its extir ration, when he supports
Buchanan, and defends the Border
Rutrtabs. - Opposing the delivery o f
auti-slavery Lectures, is another viola
ti;M of the above rule we shalt wait to
hear explained.
1 - " Three river and harbor improve
nient bills have been passed over the
veto of Presideut - Pierce. Thus the
Buchanan men • are turning • their
batiks on their internai improvement
principles, as well as on the Auctrine
of squatter sovereignty; So it goo.
A few years ago, tney were all in•fav9r
td the %Vltava proviso. Then, at the
instance of'James Buchanan, his party
in this State abandoned the Walnut
proviSo, and advocated the extension
uf the Missouri Corr ptotnise line to
the Pacific Ocean. Then • they dis
covered that the 'Missouri Con pro
misewas uncOhstitutional, and %vent
for its repeal ; . and now they abandon
the priAciple which they . offerred as a
justiilCstion for this repeal. No wonder
all men of principle abandon such a
party.
GPThe course of the - Hon. J. J.
Pearce, member of Congress from this
District, has given great satisfaction to
the anti-Nebraska Moe of this County.
Attentive to his duties, and al:cays
on the side or Freedom and Justice,
his friends are delighted, and his op
ponents are silenced. We hope there
is good sense enough in the District
to return him to a post .he has so
worthily filled.

advocate or defend this :system of
foree, and the platform adopted is erg
tirely satisfactory to the Brookses,
Atchisons, Striugfellows and Singletons
who have inaugurated the'era of force.
The nominee of the Cincinnati Conven -
tion says he is no longer James Buchan -
an, (a good reason for abandoning the
principles of his harvest-home letter,)
but the embinliment of the platform.
He therefore gives countenance to and
supports the system afbrce which has
been planned fur , the suppression of

alarmed at the corrupting influence of
Slavery. ,

This is the last and silliest falsehood,
which has beau startedbythe frighten.

a reason for his co.trrse that he says he

in the midst ufSlavery, is not now, and
never was the owner of a slave. So
has said every man acquainted with his
circumstances that ;las spoken•on .this
subject. We quote a single witness.
Senator Hamlin in a speech at Worces

"John C. Fremont is an anti-slavery man,
and has aiway3 been one froth his boyhood.

barking on his ‘ves.ern tour, he was asked if
it was nut his in cuttort to purchase a stave as
a domestic for his wife. Ilia reply Ans, '
never awned one dollar in human flesh ; and
whi:e reason holds its sway in my brain, I
never ! I love my wife with the molt
ardent affection, but that wile must toil with•
