Mr. Baciiquipai'm Age.
IThe opposition papert - represent that Mr.
Buchanan is a very old man—too old for the
Presidency-:--to wit, 7 t 'yeai:s. old. This, is
untrue. - He was born in ,Frankliu County,
Pend.; April 19th 1791, and is consequently,
a few: .reeks past 63 years of age; about the
same age,of Washington, Jefferson, Monroe,
and the earlier Presidents when elected. '
Mr. B.has always cultivated the most rig
.. id habits of temperance, and industry. lin
is a man of remarkable physical development
—pf great bodily and mental vigor. Not
one factilly is at, all impaired by age, but on
the contrary his power:: are at ttei; 'ripe;.t.and

be nothing left for 'Republicanism to 'fame

The thorst enemies 'to the peaceful and
proper admission of Kansas into the Union as
a State, are the : Republican leaders.. It.
serves their purpose better to
.keep that Ter

Senator DoesoLas has introduced a bill pro

the application must come from the pelltle of
