SUNBUKY AMERICAN AND SHAMOKIN JOURNAL. MB. BITHA5UM AND THE SOUTH. The Savannah Georgian, and tome other aoulhern democratic papers, express decided approbation nr Mr. lluchanan't view of the slavery question, and nay thai " hit conree hat been altogether te-o southern that is to tar, loo just, to mnke him acceptable to the north for the presidency." They thus regard I bim as martyr to southern right, and, as a 1 natural consequence, some sympathy is man ifested ill his behalf. We are sorry that our southern friends have fallen into such a grievous error. Mr. Bu chanan's opinions upon southern rights would not probably lose him a vote in Pennsylva nia. There are oilier reasons why the great body of the democracy oppose him ; why he can never gel the vote of the state; why he can never be elected Presidimt, and why it is manifestly improper to oblinde bis name be fore the democracy of the nation for its sup port. We regret that there are such foimi dabla objections to one of our most prominent citizens; but as they exist, we cannot but regard it a a duly, ut a time, w hen presiden tial committals are being made, to explain their nature. Especially to the soalhern de mocracy is this due, that a prevailing misap prehension may be removed, and that they estimate, in some degree, how far they could rely upon the new-born zeal for the southern rights, professed by Mr. lluchanan, were he elevated to the presidency. It is also well to feel the ground under our feet in so impor tant a matter as tho selection of a presiden tial candidate, examine the vulnerable points of aspirants, and see what our opponents can truthfully say of them after their nomina tion. In the first place, Mr. Puchauau's political life has been remarkable, principally, for fickleness; insomuch, that here in Pennsyl vania, his opinions pro tempore, carry with them very little weight. To illustrate on a subject peculiarly interesting at this time. Ho has lately planted himself on the Mis souri compromise line, and has become very decidedly opposed to the freo soileis. At the time the Missouri question was brought before congress, when the nation was agita ted by the conflict nnd the issue was In doubt, Mr. Buchanan offered the following resolutions at a public meeting in the city of Lancaster. Resolved, That the representatives in con gress from this district be, and are hereby most earnestly requested, to use their utmost endeavors, as membeis of the national legis lature, to prevent the existence of slavery in any of the territories or stales, w hich may be erected by congress. Resolved. That in the opinion of this meet ing, the members of congress, who, at the last session, sustained thu cause of justice, humanity and patriotism, in opposing the in troduction of slavery into the slate that en deavored to be formed out of the Missouri territory, are entitled to the warmest thank of every friend of humanity. In a letter to tho Central Soulhrrn State Ilights Association of Virginia, written April 10, 1851, Mr. Buchanan speaks, with becom ing reverence, of old republican principles: ths Virginia platform of State rights pre scribed by the resolutions of 1798 and 99, and Mr. Madison's report, &e. In a 4th of July oration delivered at Lancaster just after the close of the last war with England, Mr. B. styled Mr. Madison "a man who preferred his private interest la the public good-' called his policy : timid and time-serving,'' "weak wicked" the war " disgraceful in the extreme to tho administration" he de nominated Jefferson " a philosophic vision ary," and remarked, we ought to use every honest exertion to turn out of power those weak and wicked men, who have abandoned the political path maiked out for Ihisconnlry by Washington, and whose wild and visionary theories have been at length tested by expe rience and found wanting." We add the following quotation from the same speech : Time will u it allow mo to enumerate all the other wild and wicked projects of demo cratic administrations. Snliiee it tu say, that after they h 1.1 deprived us of means of de fence, by deiilroyingour navy an.

Tho South cannot have forgotten the cele brated letter of Gen. Jackson to Carter Bev eily, exposing a proposition made to him in January, 1S2S, by Mr. Buchanan from Mr. Clay. We subjoin the concluding paragraphs which are sufficiently explanatory. The let ter is dated Hermitage, June 6, 1827: The gentleman nrnceeded. Ho said ho had been informed by tho friends of Mr. Clay, that she friends of Mr. Adams had m:tde overtures to them, saying if Mr. Clay and his friends would nnito in aid of Mr Adams' election, Mr. Clay should be Secre tary of Slate; that tho friends of Mr. Adams were urging a a reason to induce the friends of Mr. Clay to accede to their proposition, that if I were elected President, Mr. Adams would be continued Secretary of State, (inn endo, there weuld be. no room for Kentucky ;) that the friends of Mr. Clay stated that thu west did not wish to seperate from the wesli and if I woutj say, or permit any of my confidential friends to say, that in easel were elected President, Mr. Adams should not be continued Secretaty of State, by a complete union of Mr. Clay and his friends, they would put an end to the Presidential contest in one hour. And he was of opinion it was right to fight such intriguers with their own wea" pons.

CONGRESS Will meet on the first Monday ol De cember. Col. Boy d of Kentucky, it is sup posed will be fleeted Speaker, and it is pro bable that Col. J. W. Forney of the Penn ylvanian, may be elected as Clerk, though it is extremely doubtful. Col. Forney is the pet of Mr. Buchanan, and has been working and managing for some years to get into this position. The llarrisburg Keystone thinks that the Col. will get the majority of the democratic, members of this Slate to support him, as the great body of the party feel anxious 0 gel him out of the Slate. The Keystone thinks the Col is entitled to the office, inasmuch as he has puffed every member of Congress elected, good bad and indifferent, amounting in all during the last year, according to some one who has counted them, to upwards of two thousand puds. The Colonel, how ever, is a man of considerable lalent though not of much tact, and if he does lay it on prclly thick, he calculates that some of it must stick. Besides, the Colonel has nil illustrious example in his pal run, Mr. Bu chanan. i:ii roll's TAiti.K. Husinets Notice.

Thanks to Heaven, that wn have obtained peace, bad and disgraceful us it is ; other wise, the beautiful structure of Ihe federal government, snppoited by lht same feeble hands, might have sunk, Ii Lo the capitol ntu ruins. But do the administration, who involved us ia the late uuneceary war, derive any credit from Iheir exertions? Certainly not. As well might Ferdinand the Tlh of Spain, who was not in his kingdom, but w ho was nominally king, claim the clory of rescuing his country from Ihe armies of France, as our Government lake to itself the credit of expelling our invaders. Political blasphemies more offensive lo democrats, were never uttered in Harlfor I or Boston, than are to be found in this unfoitu nale oration. Were Mr. Buchanan our can didate, it is to be feared they would shake ths nerve of the most steadfast disciples of Jefferson even in the old dominion the grey beards who were instructed at Ihe feel of Ihe revered apostle of democracy ; who received tha doctiiues Ihey hold and cheiish, from his own lips. Could Virginia, who, lo her honoi requested him to say to Mr. CUvj and his friends, (for I did suppose he bad come from Mr. Clay, although he used the term of Mr. Clay's friends,') that before t would reach thu Presidential chair, by such means of bar gain ami corruption, I would see the t-anh open and swallow both Mr. Clay and his friends and myself with them. If they had not confidence in mo to believe if I were elected, that 1 would call to my aid in the cabinet, men of the first virtue, talent and integrity, not to volo for me. The second day after this communication and reply, it was announced in the newspapers that Air Clay hau come out openly and avowedly for Mr. Adams. It may be proper to observe, that, on tho supposition thai Mr. Clay was not privy lo tho proposition stated, 1 may have done injustice lo liim. If so, Ihe gen tleman informing me can explain. I am very respectfully, your most obcdienl servant, ANDREW JACKSON. Mb. Cartkk Bevciti.r. Gen. Jackson, in bis address lo tho public of 1827, referring to Mr. Clay's denial of this matter, said: '-This disclosure was made lo mo by Mr. Buchanan, a member of Con gress from Pennsylvania." There are many other objections of a gen eral character, that would be disheartuing and discouraging, which wo at present pass over. The passage of a senatorial speech, replied to by Iltmtsl John Davis, from which an annoying subriipiet has been taken and applied lo Mr. Buchanan, bus been denied Senators who were present assert that it ici;S uttered, but stricken out of the published speech. The settlement of this question of veracity, let it be as it may, can lake but little from the force of the sobriquet, w hich is forever fastened upon Mr. B. and would deiach from him thousands of voters among the working men. We had intended to close here for ihe pie- sent ; but there is one other fault that wouli! have immense xveight in a canvass, and which we should look in the face in season Mr. Buchanan asked in his oration before quoted from, when speaking of the first year of the war, 11 is there an American on the lloor of this house who has not blushed for his country a thousand limes during thai dis graceful yeai.'" We acknowledge we blush w hen we ask the south, did any of her great men ever deny their citizenship to gel rid of paying Iheir slate taxes 1 Did Mr. Calhoun, Mr. Lowndes, Mr. Ciawford, Mr. Polk, or any other of thu southern statesmen, living or dead, whose acts have done so much honor io our country 1 Nevei one of them thought of kucIi an act.

Our readers are awaie that we are not in the habit of inflicting upon them, many, nor long articles of a political or partisan character. This constant harping upon politics, like oft repeated stories, renders the subject stale and rapid, producing but little or no effect. Hut as the time is ap proaching when Pennsylvania will be cal led on to express herself on the Presiden tial question, we have thought it right, in order that the people might be properly informed on this subject, to lay before our readers, an article published some lime since in the Keystone at llarrisburg, under the head ol "Buchanan ami the South." We ask nil our readers to peruse the arti cle, which, we think, shews most conclu sively the fallacy of giving Pennsylvania to Mr. Buchanan for the Presidency, when her strength should be concentrated on a strong and unesceplion ible man.

The result was as lollows, viz : Jeremiah S. Black, three years. Ellis Lew is, six " John R. Gibson, nine " Walter II. Lowrie, twelve " Richard Coulter, fifteen " Judge Black will, therefore, be Chief Justice for the ensuing three years, to com mence on the second Monday in December. One of the meanest men we ever heard of was a grocer who was teen to catch a fly off hit counter, hold him up by hit hind legs, and look into the cracks of hit feet, to tee if he hadn't been stealing tome of his tujar. this place, and were soon convinced from the course of certain proceedings, that a concentrated t llort was making, to revivify and galvanise into being, the defunct Cattawissa rail road, which like Ihe Get ty thurg tape worm road, owed its existence wholly to the plund.-r secured f.om the stockholders of the U. S. Hank, which had b?en made to bleed mjst profusely for ol- jects ol this kind. Believing however, that a large majoi- ity of the members of ihe Couvcntiin would oppose the Cattawissa project, f the merits of the different routes should be discussed, overtures Wi re made to otirse'f, as well as to others of the real frieni's if the Sunbury and Erie route, that nothin should be said or done, to raise any local disputes, and that the Convention should, in pursuance of its call, designate no points, except those embraced in the call of the Convention. These terms xvere acceded too, and were offered, we were satisfied, be cause the friends of the Cattawissa route, found they could do no better in the Con vention. We were satisfied, however, that their e Juris lo divert public attention from the true route, and to Ion stall public opinion in favor of the Cattawissa route, would show itsell in another form, and here it is, embraced in a single paragraph, at the beginning of the addr ss of the CVm. mittee, in the appointment of which, the friends of the Sunbury route wi re sadly overlooked. The object is lo en. meet the citv of Phi'a- delphia with the H.uhur of Eiie, by the shiniest poMible route, and at the least pos t.bln expense. The link from Williamspoit lo Philadelphia, ly t M Cit'awi.sa and Wil. Iniiiisp irt, Little Schuylkill uud li.-adn g U'a.ts, requires bnl lilt e to re, der it com plele ; uud we have only theiefoie to pro vide for ihe construction of a road lo con nect Williamsp nt with Erie, a distance of 24(1 miles, ami I lie object is accomplished. This it in ihe de.ire of the Sunbury and Erie Hail Koad Company tu ell'ect at once. We do not, of course, intend to charge favoritism or ptrtiulily on all the members of that Committee. Among them we ob serve a number of gentlemen distinguished for their talents, enterprise, and moral worth, w ho no doubt assented to the re port, without fully investigating its correct ness, or looking into iti merits, nor have we any fault to find with the other por tions of thc&ldrets.
