He is "the purest and soundest Southern - man" we know of—that is, if we compare his ac-1 'dons with the standard which the South i usually depicts in its Columns.

Do not ask us to support one who runs for the honor of the thing—give us a man of Principle. The Sectional Character of the Buchanan Party. In the campaign of 1856, the Buchan an stump-speakers made considerable cap ital by announcing that they were .Ar,i tioiiot men, and that the supporters of Fremont were Nectiuital. Must people who kept their eyes open, saw that this claim 'of Nationality. was a false preterise, And that 'no oandidate for President had ever been so intensely sectiona3 as James Buchanan. Every act of his administration has been governed by Sectional motives.. In the great political contest of 1800, Which resulted in the election of Mr...Teffersoii, the party issues were .between the Na tionalists, who were defe,4ted, and the State Rights men, who succeeded. The advocates of a strong central Government asSureed the name of Federalists; while those who were fur limiting the action of the Federal Government to the powers expressly granted by - the Constitution which created it, were known as Repub licans. Is it not apparent that the same issues in part are now before the pep'ple for set tlement? Mr, liuchanan who was a Fed eralist in his youth, is still for a strong central government, but worse than that, he is now faa exerting all the influences of this overshadowing Central Govern,- meat in favor of the sectional interest of Slavery, While the Republicans of to day, like the Republicans of Jefferson's day, are in favor of State Rights, the rights of the people and of a Government • .iikAaport.lance - .with . . Independence. , • -• The following - *grads from an'adifii rabic editorial-in the last Arativual Era shows theesset posigeo of part tas_at the • • • viesent; - " ' Since the final adjustment of the financial controversy,' by - the , istablistintent. of ,the In elapendent Treasury systeM. and.the *levies- , sense of the whole country thereu, each of the old party organization has ceased to - he an exponent of any distinctive political ..prlaci plasH.

Jr. ituchnnau, an original Federalist was elected, as the friend and supporter of "Southern rights." There are no Noithern or Western- sights,. but the President and his friends are the devoted champions of Southern rights. It is hardly passible. to name an Adwinistrati&l journal that does not express, emphatically apd with zeal, its fidel ity to life rights of the South. If the South has rig,itts that do not belong to other por tions of the Union—rights not possessed by the States respectively—it woulehe well that they should be defined. Our Constitution and laws recognise the rights of States, the rights of individeals, and certain enumer ated National rights, but there is no legal or constitutional recognition of distinctive ' Southern rights. l•What are the prominent politico' issues now before the country!? They aye not eorn nicreia,l,.as in the earlier part of the present century, when the Republican and Federal parties existed. - Nor are they financial, as was the ease when the Democrats and Whigs were i arrayed in opposition ‘ to each other. When the present Congress met, in Deeember last, *the Administration hail a decided majority in both branches. The Executive had therefore an ;opportunity to - initiate its policy, and strengthen its'position if correct, as it wcuid weaken it if wrong. Of its measures and principles, the whole - country was to judge; and they were Finch as to make' not one con • vert to the Administration,. but to alienate thousands and tens of thousands of its friends. 1 Its whole strength was upended in an effort to inflict upon an unwilling people in a dis taut Territory a Constitution which they did nut make or authorize to be made. which they never approved, but which by their votes at the ballot-hox they emphatically and decided ly repudiated and rejected. Yet, with these films in its possession, the Administration ex erted. and perverted the whole power of the Government to deprive that people of the in herent and inalienable -right of self-govern -1 meat. This was and is the great and leading measure of the Administration—its distinc tive policy. The Notional Government, by an arbitrary and unwarranted exercise of Fed eral power, would crush out popular and &ate sovereignty, - it is not surprising that the Administration was defeated, and its pol igy disapproved, by many ofits ablest friends; but it is strange that the discipline of party and the inflitertec' of patronage were so potent as to coerce many into an abandonment of the principles which they. once professed, so that they are no longer of the striet-eonstrue tion and State-rights school of politics, but centralists and sectienalists." •Tcppular So - iereiguty” De. fined. . We commend the following editorial of the N. Y. Tribune to the careful perusal of out. readers. It takes a correct view of the rinestiou The doctrine of "Popular Sovereignty" —that is, of the right of the People ofl any State or Territory t establish or re ject.Sl:tV.ry as they shall see tit—is plan sibly :plC,,, , ated in Mr. .Dopgias's speech, mod we see it affirmed also in the res o lves of Comity Conventions wherein Etelmbli cans would seem to have partcipated.— Before Republie:ms are asked to as sent to suet! a doctrine, we submit that it should be clearly- set forth. so that there can be no mistake as to what it re ally is. We, be it distinctly understood, do not accept it. We recognize no right in one man to enslave his feilow-man—no right to do this filtering in ten men, nor yet in lien . thousand. To talk of Slavery as a -legal, constitutional relation of one man to another,- under a Republican Govern went, is to utter the- most amazing ab• surdity. Slavery is the reign of Force— the rule of the strongest—the -dethrone went of Law by' Violence. An uncor rupted Court of Justice ought anywhere to decide the pretended establishment of Slavery by law a solecism—a moral lul -1 possibility , . , But lek us concede, for the argument's sake, that Slavery can be established by law—that its legalization is . a matter of sheer expedimmy, like Banking or Rail roads—and let -ns sec what "Popular Sovereignty" with regard to it really is, or should be. upposinz it abstractly right that ev ery 'Territory or embryo State shall deter mine for itself, whether by popular vote or otherwise, to have Slavery or not have It lb: one of its, "doinastio institutions," it is very oldr7t.titttthe vote or other de termination t44(abliSh ought to precede the act of establishing. Is not that clear? Suppose we agree that the question of Banks or No Banks ought to be decided by the People; would.it not 103 monstrous to begin by letting every one who pleases set up a bank, and then °all on the Peo ple to vote for or against the continuance of those Bauks ? Yet this is precisely what "Popular Sovereignty" practically does with regard to Slavery. It plants Slavery in every Territory, fosters and protects it through the whole period of said Territory's ex istence, and tells the People that they may vote it out or vote down, if they .. . -------.:, . -sen :8; *lie? t.E . ey.

We had a rare little beat out heie in the woods on Friddy.of last week, which with a little hope of-pleasing, and perhaps benefiting yoUr reatlrs, I wish' to tell. you about. - The school-teachers of lit,brE t in some week's ago made an agreement among themselves to hold a school celebration, and tlkets went to work to enlist the co-operation' of: parents for the purpose. Last Friday, lour schools met at Mr. .J. M. Preennaan's, and accompanied-by pa rents and friends marched in proces...4ion grove at a little distance. After singing . by the choir, and' prayer by Rev.. J. Hendrick, school ;•10. Ist`frorri .Crandall Hill, taught by Miss S. r Reynolds, took the stage and-opened their exercises by *singing. I have seldom heard singing sound sweeter than did those* young misses voices. - Thenfollowed an eXam - ination in Mental Arithinetic; one in die geog raphy and history of Pennsylvania, and a-pa per read by two - young ladies, containing a brief history of the Academy, and the various teachers who have presided ,there.: The exer cises were enlivened by - several songs. Schools' No. 2nd from the " Peet Schoof House" then took the stage. Their exercises consisted of declamation, ilialogues, reading . of a paper and singing. One song commencing "Oh, dear, what can the matter be? Parents don't visit their schoids--" contained a sharp rebuke lo parents who can: find time to attend to everything else but the education of their children. N 0.3 taught by Miss Hawley'rfassed Mcredit-f able examination in Mental Arithmetic, andf Orthography, and some other exercises-with; singing included, ail& No. 4 under care oNlis* Louise Hydorn was examined in Geography, closing with' a brief history of Hebron town ship, including a atuthment of the number of schools and Scholars at present attending them] A colloquy sung and .acted by some little boys and girls was very pretty -and well per-; formed. Dinner was ithen 'served; and after all had eaten and the fraginents were gathered up, the schools wereladdressed by Prof drick. It would take . too much space- to at; tempt even an ,ontline of . his "talk," but I Mink the children will not soon-forget the fa-I millar home, questions he put to them. Judg ing at least by their hearty response, they ought not to. The folloiving resolutions were then presented, and as it- was growing were adopted together without discussion R.-se/red, That the common -schobl eelebra tions have a tendency to create aninterest in the cause of education. in teachers, scholars, and parent s, and ail who attend them. . 12e4nlved.
