MR. BUCHANAN AND THE CINCIN
NATI FLATFORM, WITH THE OS.
TEND MANIFESTO ANNEXED.
SCUM of the old fogy political), of the
South, with strong conservative incline
!jot., in apologizing for their support of
711 r. Buchanan, rest it upon the assutnp•
lion that he. will not follow up Aire fillibus
ternig prograunne of the Cincinnati Con
vention. Among these sagacious gentle
men, Air. Senator Pearce, of Nlarvlimil,
rollick particularly conspicuous. in his
late letter, proclaiming hi, enlistment iii
the ranks of the Cincinnati democracy, he
repudiates their foreign policy, a,.iu volving
oa clots.% of riggrestlcit, inconsistent with
the spirit of our government, faithless to
treaties, violative of the rights of the; nn•
tien't, and destructive to our peact., honor
and concord."
To show upon what a slippery founda
tion Mr. Pearce is standing, in his belief
that Mr. Buchanan will avoid this wicked
policy, it is only necessary to place before
his eyes and the eyes of others similarly
deluded, the following authoritative letter
of Mr Senator Brown, of Mississippi,
chairman of the committee appointed to
wait open Mr. Buchanan to inform Lim of
hi, nomination. Read what Mr. Brown
says.:
11.Ell'ER FROM NON. A G. DROWN.
W. ISHINGTON OM Juno 18, 185 U.
Alv DEAR `SIR :-I congratulate you on
the nomination of your favorite candidate
for the Presidency.
If the nomination of Mr. Buchanan was
acceptable to me at first, it is still more so
now—since 1 have seen him and heard
him speak. The committee, of which I
was one, waited en him at his residence to
give I.iin formal and official notice of his
nomination, and in the name a the nation
al democracy to request his acceptance of
it. We found him open, frank, and whol.
ly undisguised in the expression of his
sentiments. Mr. Buchanan said, in the
presence of all who bad assembled, and
they were' hoot the North and the South,
the East unit the West, that he stood upon
the Cincinnati platform ait.l endorsed ev
ery part of it. Ile was explicit in his re.
marks on its slavery f.atures, saying that
the slavery issue was the absorbing element
in the canvass. He recognized to its ful.
lest extent the overshadowing importance
of that issue, and if elected, he would make
it the great aim of his adme . nistration to
settle the question upon such terms as
should give peace and safety to the Union,
and security to the South. Ile spoke in
terms of deeided commendation of the Anti •
sas bill, and pointedly deprecated the um
worthy efforts of sectional agitation to get
up a national conflagration on that ques.
sten. After the passage of the compromise
measures of l'ctso. the Kansas hill tea,„ h e
said, necessary to harmonize our legtalm
tion in reference to the Territories, and he
expressed hi:. ,t,rpttrAtt 'hat there :Amid
appear anyethere an organised opposition
to the Kansas hill, after the general acqui•
•,cence which the whole country had ex
pressed in the measures of 1850.
Atter thus speaking of Kama: and
livery ,asu•., Mr
. B.uthz.nan passed to our
terms of the Cincinnati resoluti on , on this
subject. But said that while enforcing
our own policy we must at all time sera •
pulously regard the just rights and proper
policy of other tiations. He was not op.
posed to territorial extension. All other
acquisitions had been fairly and honorably
made. Our necessities might require us
to snake other acquisitions. Ile regarded
the acquisition of Cuba as very desirable:
now, and it teas likely to &omen nation
al necessity. Whenever wo could obtain
the island on fair, honorable terms, he was
for taking it. But he added, it will he a
terrible necessity that would induce me to
sanction any movement that would bring
reproach upon us, or tarnish the honor and
glory of our beloved country.
After the formal interview was over,
Mr. Buchanan said playfully, but in pre-
sence of the whole audience, , "/f I can be ;
rumental in settling the slavery vas-
lion upon the • terms 1 have named, and!
then add Cuba to the Union, I shall, if
President, be wilting to give up the ghost
and let Breckenridge take Ihe government.'
Could there he a more noble ambition ?
Yon may well be proud of your early
choice of a candidate, and congratulate
yourself that no adverse infbiences ever
move you an inch from your stern purpose
of giving the great Pennsylvanian a steady
earnest and cordial support. In my judg•
merit he is as worthy of Southern co n /i.
steno: and Southern votes as Mr. Cathe ter
erie was ; and in saying this I do riot
tacos to intimate that Mr. Buchanan has
any sectional prejuoiceS in our favor. I
only mean to say that he has none against
us, and that we may rely with absolute
certainty on rvevivitig fullgUttielf, actor

y A. G. BROWN.
To [lnn. S. R. ADAMS.
Now, any one who has perused that
u.onderful State paper called the Ostend
manifesto, will be struck, eta glance, with
he remarkable re,emblance between the
peculiar views and the peculiar language
rd that document and the style and senti
ments of this letter communicating the re•
marks of Mr. 'Buchanan on the Cincinnati
platform to Mr. Brown. We have not thu
• -hglitem that If, Brown ha, riven
us here. an auiluotyoe of t h e, democratic
candidate ; or, in mher words, we ore en
tirely satisfied that the views of Mr. Bu
chanan, as recorded by Brown, are must
faithfully and exactly reported.
This fact being established beyond all
controversy, from the position and respon
sibility of Mr. Brown in the premises, we
see at once that Mr. Buchanan is commit
ted, not only to the general home policy of
the Cincinnati Convention, but to every
part and particle of the fillibustering, branch
of that platform, with the Ostend manifes
to annexed. That robbe"r's manife..,to de
clare,. that, should Spain refuse to soli
ha, and should we consider the island ne•
cessary to our safety, "then by every late,
human and divine, we shall be justified in
wresting it front Spain, if we possess the
power." Mr. Buchanan said to Mr.
Brown, in accepting the Cincinnati nomi-
I that "our necessities might, require
us to make other acquisitions," and that
"he regarded the acquisition of Cuba as
very desirable now, and it was likely to
become a national necessity." Just so;
nothing more likely, with the transfer of
Mr. Buchanan to the IVhite (louse, and
the installation of Messrs. Forney, Sanders
and the Cuban Junta in the kitchen as
privy council of his administration. 'When
a highway robber meets an unarmed trav
eller in a convenient place, it invariably
become!: "a necessity" to rob bits.
That the a,cquisitiOn of Cuba has aheady
become "a Ocussay" in the mind of Mr.
Buchanan, is pretty clearly sot forth in the
Ostend proclamation; but still more clearly
in the enthusiastic terms in which he
states the case. to Mr. Brown. Hear him :
Mr. Brown says, "after the formal inter
vMse was over, Mr. Buchanan said play
fully, but in the presence of the whole au
dience, "if I can be instrumental in set
tling the slavery question upon the terms I
have named, and then add Cuba to the
Union, I shall, if President, be willing to
give up the ghost, and let Breckenridge
take the government." Whereupon, Mr.
Brown exithingly ask, "could there be
more noble ambition 1"
In reply to Mr. Brown, we must say
that a definite answer here depends very
materially upon the ways and means which
Mr. Buchanan proposes to employ to effect
the desired acquisition. We quite agree
with Marcy, that the last prospect of ac
quiring Cuba by purchase we snuffed out
at Ostend Yet, as Mr. Buchanan, in the
absence of something bettor, has fallen over
head and OHM ill love with the beautiful
island, blushing in her abounding charms,
and, as he must have her, we fear there is
no other way by which ho ran secure his
heart's delight than by "wresting it from
Spain, if lie has the power " This is the
old Anglo• Saxon, the old Norman, and the
old English way of sec uring the rich lad&
of other people. It is the Ostend policy
of “wresting" that from a ixighbor which
she will neither give away not Noll tinder

"Until recently, the defence of slavery

WASHINGTON AND FREMONT,
The New York Independent, the organ
of the Congregationalists of tho United
States, and one of the ablest journals in
the country, is decided in its support tar
Fremont. It runs the following parallel
between Washington and our candidate :
"It is somewhat curious to notice the
triking correspondence between the his
tory of this young Republican Captain,
and that of him whom our lathers took as
their leader, in the first great struggle for.
Liberty on this continent. A part of these
have been noticed by the papers and by
speakers. Others we have not seen refer
red to. They arc interesting and sugges
tive. Washington was left in childhood,
by the death of his father, to the charge of
his mother, Fremont was so likewise, at
a still earlier period, and in circumstances
certainly much less auspicious. Washing,-
ton had an early passion for the sea, so
strong that a midshipman's warrant was
obtained for him by his friends. Fremont
went to sea and was there employed for
more than two years. Washington was
introduced to public life through his ser
vice on the frontiers, as a surveyor and
civil engineer.. Fremont won his disci
pline and his early fame its the same de
partinent, and by his uec and practice in
it has became fitted in mind and body, to
'endure hardship.' Washington learned
all that he knew of war in Indian combats
and strife of the wilderness, and rose thus
to rattle of Colonel in the provincial troops.
Fremont's school was the same, and ho
has gained the same rank. Washington
had small experience as a legislator, until
he was called to the head of the Govern
ment. Ile was taken for his wolhtried
general qualities, and not furany distinction
Ito had achieved as a diplomatist or as a
statesnian ; and here again the parallel
holds. Washington was sneered at by
men uf routine, was hated and assailed by
the 'Posies of that day as a soldier who had
'never set a srpiadron in the field;' until
his energy and patience drove them all out
of it. The same class of attacks are now
made on Fremont ; to be answered iu some ,
iinpre:,,ive way. Ells friends early felt
that Washiegton was especially fitted and
preserved of Providence to become the head !
of the nation ; as Rev. Samuel Davies ex
pressed it, that 'Providence has hitherto
preserved- him in so signal it manner for
some important office to his country:—
The sane expectation, becoming almost a
premonition, hits for years been general
ittrion7 the friends of Fremont. D. liohert
son, his early teacher, expressed it in the
preface to his edition of the A riabasis, pub
lished years ago, in these words :—.Such,
my young friends, is an imperfect.aketch
of my once beloVed and favorite pupil, who
may yet rise to be at the head of this great
and growing Republic. My prayer is that
he may be ever opposed to war, injustice !
and (oppression of every kind, a blessing
to his country, anti an example of every
noble virtue to the whole world.' Wash
ington was called to the head of the army
at she ago of forty•four ; and if Col. Fre
mont shall live to too the dth of March
next, we confidently expect that the singu•
tar parallel will so far be perfected."
"Heads I Wiu, Tails you Lose!"
Is Americanism to be the cat's paw for
Democracy and James Buchanan to pull
the Presidential chesnuts out of the but
ashes of the pending canvass? This is a
quc?stion which is presented to the consid
eration of every loan who How supports
Mr. Fillmore, for the Democratic papers
do not endeavor to conceal the fact that
the only hope for Mr. Buchanan is by
splitting the opposition between Mr. Fill
more and Col. FREMONT. 'the New York
Journal of Commerce is jub;lant ever the
late Fillmore Convention in Pennsylvania
and after stating that by the strong veto of
72 to 18, the Convention refused to unite
with the Republicans in a Fusion ticket,
says exultingly the Americans adhere
to their nominations, as there is every rem
son to believe they will, tho Autocratic
ticket will be elected by a very large ma•
ority." Now tve would ask our Ameri
can brethern if they desire to see such a
result, and would it not be assured if they
persist in their course? The same game
is to be played in Connecticut and Illinois.
From the former State, the New York Ex
press has intelligence that they will? poll
a good many votes for Fillmore and that
FREmoscr cannot get a Slate--of course
then Buchanan will ! Can any thing bu
plainer thou this, or are AMCIIeatIS prepa
red to make themselves the dupes of this
veiled enormity ?

11,, AMELIA R 1.1
THE DOG NOBLE AND THE EMPTY
HOLE.
We take the following from the last is.
sue of the New York Independent, which
is the organ of the Congregationalists in
America. It is from the pen of Rev. H.
Ward Beecher. The hit at Brooks of the
New York Express, who insists upon for
cing Col. Fremont into the Catholic church
against his will, is capital :
The first summer which we spent in .
Lenox, we had along a very intelligent dog
named Noble. Re was learned in many
things, and by his dog-lore excited the un
dying admiration of all the children. But
there were some things which Noble could
never learn. Having on one occasion seen
it red squirrel run into a hole in a stone
wall he could not be persuaded that he was
not there for evermore.
Several red squirrels lived close to the
house and had become familiar, but not
tame. They kept up a regular romp with
Noble. l'hey would come down from the
maple trees with provoking coolness; they
would run along the fence almost within
reach; they would cock their tails and sail
across the road to the born; and yet there
was such a well-timed calculation under all
this apparent rashness, that Noble invaria
bly arrived at the critical spot just as the;
squirrel left in.
On one occasion Noble was so close up•
on his red-backed friend that, unable to get
up the maple tree, he dodged into a hole
in the wall, ran through the chicks, emer
ged at a little distance, and sprung into the
tree. The intense enthusiasm of the deg
at that hole can hardly be described, Ile
filled it full of barking, He pawed and
scratched as if undermining a bastion,—
Standing off at a little distance lie would
pieroe the hole with a gaze as intense and
fixed as if he were trying magnetism on it.
Then, with tail extended, and every hair
thereon electrified, he would rush at the
empty hole with a prodigious onslaught.
This imaginary squirrel haunted Noble
night and day. The very squirrel himself
would run up before his face into the tree,
and crouched in a crotch, would sit silent
ly watching the whole process of bombar
ding the empty hale, with great sobriety
and relish. But Noble would allow of no
doubts. His conviction that that hole had
a squirrel in continued unshaken for six
weeks. When ull other occupations failed
this hole remained to him. When there
were no more chickens to harry,no pigs to
bite, us cattle to chase, no children to romp
is ‘,l,...diL;Lm.: t. make with i.;rcerr.
folks, mid when he had slept all his dog
skin would hold, lie would walk out of the
yard, yawn and stretch himself, and then
took wistfully at the hole, as if thinking to
himself, Well, as theru in nothing doe to
do, I may as well try that hole again."
We had almost forgotten this Pile trait,
until the conduct of the New York Ex
press, in respect to Col. Fremont's reli
gion, brought it ludicrously to mind again,
Col. Fremont is, and always has beets, as
sound a Protestant as John Knox ever was.
Ho was bred in the Protestant faith and has
never changed. tie is unacquainted with
the doctrines and ceremonies of the Cath•
olio Church, and has never attended the
services ~f that Church, with two or three
exceptions, when curiosity, or some extrin
sic reason, led hint as a witness, We do
not state this open vague belief. We
know what we say. We say it upon our
own personal knowledge. Col. Fremont
never was, and is not now, a Roman Cath
olic. Ile has never been wont to attend
that Church. Nor has he in any way, di
rectly or indirectly, given occasion for this
report.
It is a gratuitous falsehood, utter, bar
ren, absolute and unqualified. The story
has been got up for political effect. It is
still circulated fur that reason, and like oth.
er political lies, it is a sheer, unscrupulous
la!sehood, from top to bottom, from the
core to the skin, and from the skin bank to
the core again. In all its parts, in pulp,
tegument, rind, cell and seed, it is a thor
