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 :

the other wild and wicked projects of demo
cratic administrations. Snliiee it tu say, that

fidelity wo a u content he should fill any
place in the government but the first the
reins we will never place ill his hands we
should never feci safe if he held onr desti
nies without a controlling powsr over him."
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.
To which in substance, I replied that in
politics, as in everything else, my guide was i our readers to the advertisement of Mr. John

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.

Husinets Notice.
Moiie New Ciooiis. -Ws coll the attention of
refusing lh Bank of ihe United Slates a con
linuaiion of iheir charter, embarrassed the
financial concerns of tin) government, and
withdrawn the auly universal piper medium
of the country from circulation; after the
people hail become unaccustomed to, and of
course, unwilling lo bear, taxation ; and w ith
out money in the Tieosiiry, they rashly
plunged us into a war with a nation more
able to ao us injury than any other in the
world.
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. Not so Mr. Buchanan.
Here is his letter to Ihe Lancaster assessor ;
by means of thus repudiating his biilh-right,
he avoided, during his term as secretary nl
stale, the payment of about 52,000 slate
taxes ! -,

mon courtesy itself, if not fair dealing,
would seem to require. The route from
Sunbury by the way ol the valley of the

the charter and in the call of the Conven

reason given for its omission. We have no

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. Such a

St THEME COUItT.
We stated last week in advance of all
other papers that the Judges elect of the
Supreme Court met at (Jarrisburg, on Fri
day last, and drew lots for their respective
terms, agreeably to the provision of the
amended Constitution. 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

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.

friends of the Sunbury route wi re sadly
overlooked.
The object is lo en. meet the citv of Phi'a-

We do not, of course, intend to charge

of that Committee. Among them we ob
serve a number of gentlemen distinguished
for their talents, enterprise, and moral
