The cry of "Henn" to the's° inter ests—ever the resort of avaricious Federalisnt pend ing an election—was raised, and its changes rung with remorseless avidity ; the forge fires in many itaaauces were blown out and the coal shafts clos ed for weeks in advance, fir politiod effect.

I sta ted that the endorsement ofthe " W ilmot Pmviso," by the Legislature of Pennsylvania, came upon this aspirant for the Presidency like a clap of thuu der from a cloudless sky. Why W 144 he so start .led I I will explain. The South was supposed to stand as a mid in oppositi , n to the I'msiso. The resolutions of the Alabama legi,lature, the Virgin ia LegiPlature, and other hulk...lions, show•el that the South would not rote for any man who was fa- vorable to it—in other words, they would oppose any man who was iniffiendly to the admission of additional slave territory into the Union. Thit.Ar- ,2135-eyed politician whose "longing, lingering lo.ok was hued on the White House, saw in the Provi- so the ileath•blow to his hopes in the South nnless he could break tlie fore of this endorsement of it by the Legislature of Pennsylvania. His obj e ct was to gain, if possible. the votes of the South, with out alienating the North, Ppecially Pennsylvania, without whose supped" he would be powerless. Whereupon. certain pre&rces in the imerest of " Pennsylvania's favorite son," as his Segnitors and servitors delight to call him, denounced der! Proviso in unmeasured terms, as a " fi.ebrantl," au "apple of discord," and as the "torch of an in cendiary, designed to light the tires of civil war.'' These creeenres were not lung permitted to stand alone in their denunciations of the mgasine. The prime mover of the opposition to it in Pennsylva- nia soon took occasion to show his band M F.S Buclux.tx, Secretary of State, at one time suppos ed to be the favorite of Mr. Polk for the succes ion, lerrthe influence of his potent name to crush the rising, hopes of the friends of Freedom. in Ac cost, 1847. the. Democracy. of Berks county held a Harvest Home Celebration at Reading , to which meeting Mr. Buchanan transmitted his confiden tial.friend, E. %V. Ilcrrea, then his private secre tary, with a carefully written letter, dated the 2.5 th of that month, in which he recommended the adop. lion of the " Missowi Compromise," or the line of 361 degrees north latitude, as the limit beyond which slavery should not pass. Forgetting the rale of the distinguished author of thii "Comprom ise," he plunged into the same slough, and there he Bounders to this day. This letter was des4meil to averimplish three objects—all of them impor tam in the mind of the astute and ambitious Secre tary. I will enumerate them : I. There resided in the North a man of a pure and spotless life, who had been tendered the nom inalort for the Vice Presidency in 1844, which he declined This man, by the influence of his name and character in •1844, secured the election of James K. Polk to the Presidency, and the triumph of the Democratic party. lle was looked upon univer. sally as the choice of the Democracy as their stan dard hearer in the contest of 1848. One aim of this letter was to checkmate 4.4ltra W amity. Mr. Wright was eminently a man of the People. De mocracy with him was something more than a name; it was an animating principle. It was of that sort which embodies all that is good, holy, and virtuous—which promotes peace on earth, arid good will among men—,which is mi d to its code. benevolent ins . its intentions and is tenacious of mor al, religious, and political rights—which respects 'the rights of persons, property, and conscience— which tends to destroy inequality, suflering, and poverty, and protects and nurtures the g eneral in terest of swirly—which enacts to benefit th- many, •without conflicting with the constitutional rights or privileges or the minority—which aids labor, and fosters the cultivation of the aril, whence all oar wealth is derived—which hat no love for persecu tion; but whose course, like that of Truth, is on ward—which levels distinctions among men, ex eept that which arises from integrity, virtue, and merit—which exposes the pimping, avaricious, domineering, cruel and overbearing—which has nothing in common with intolerance, corruption, and depraved ambition—nothing compatible with fraud, humbug, delusion, or anarchy—whose em pire is founded on wisdom, freedom, and thee:W inners of a world now grovelling in error, super stition, and despotism—whose mission. is to the -heart of kindness, good will, and love • and to the 'head of utility and progress. The peopie were anx ions to show their appreciation o fthe character of this man, by thrusting such honors upon him as were vainly sought for by more aspiring, but less pure men. Knowing that no national institution can long subsist on false pretences, Mr. Wright was friendly to the Proviso, and was supposed by Mr. Buchanan to be his moat formidable rival for the P s temoenuic nemitiation ter the Presidency. But Providence, in his merry, called Silas Wright to a brighter crown than that worn by kings. and to a higher seat than that occupied by Presidents. Mr. Mnt,cton Mites, in his life of Keats, says: " As men die, so they walked among posterity.'' If this be so, then was Silas Wright called hence at an appropriate time. In his death, every man lost a Intend. but no man an enemy. The nation mnnrn ed his less, and refused to be comforted: Mark the dates : On the 25iii of August, Mr. Buchanan's letter was written ; on the 27th of the same month, (two days afterwards.) Silas Wright was 'lumber ed with the - dead. Here was an illustration of • craftiness being taken in its on-n snare. Subse quent events seemed to show that Mr. Buchanan was checkmated himself. 2. The second object to be achieved by this let ter was scarcely less important thaii the fi.ss It was Mr. Buchanan's aim to give ttie rue to his bipeds in Pennsylvania. II.9• to what ground he wished them to occupy on the Proviso question. Penn sylvania is not unlike other States in one particn Ito: she contains within her borders certain mer. cenary p liticians,2if the "Vicar of Bra! - " school, who make politics a ~a me, and who comprise ev erything in one word—Snare. This class of poli ticians are always fumy' islyin,g court at the foot stool of power ; like unelean birds, they scent the smell of plunder - front afar. It is not surprising. therefore, that immediately after the appearance of this letter, quite a number of those who wished to stand fair with the potent Secretary and President in expectancy, showed a wonderful alacrity in mounting the Secretary's platform. 3. The third object of Mr. Buchanan in this let ter was to indicate to the South that he was with them in opposition to the Proviso—that he was against the clearly-expressed will of his native State—and that..should they support him for the' Presidency, he would unite with them in " dirt ding the spoils.", This letter was heralded in advance, as indica ting the "i r 'some of the Administration lor the' next Congressional campaign, and the princip le upon which the Administration means to rally its friends, North and South," &c.—it was published by the Washington Union with many encominitis, stud_ was bepraised by . many Southern journals, as squaring web their views—all of which At-ere copi ed by the organ of the Admiuistratinn, at so many indications of " Public Sentiment."
