i So ii would appear, by the Democratic

' i yic ascendency over the genuine Jeffcrso

Buchanan's nomination, were merely finiah
icg touches to the original programme.
Frcm the Lancaster Examiner.
Curban&Q's Slavery fteoord.
An examination into tho facts of the
oast will show that Mr. Buchanan has at
some period of Ids life occupied the oppo
site of bis present position on every exist
ing political issue But on no question has
his change of position been more extreme
or tuure striking than on that of slavery.—
We have already shown that in 1854 he
took his stand on 30 dcg. 30 min., and sol
emnly pledged himself to uiako that the
boundary line between freedom and slavery
forever! His lamented fall from that proad
positiou is seen by every one. lleteis
another change, not less remarkable.
The Cincinnati platform, in which Mr-
Buchanan lias sunk his identity, proclaims
as its fundamental principle the non-inter
ference by Congress with slavery in tho
territories or iu tho District of Colombia
How is Mr. Buchanan's record on that doc
trine? A* to the territories, wo have al
ready seen by his support of tho Comprom
ise line. Now for the Dietriot of Colum
bia. On the bth of January, 1829, Mr-
Charles Miner, then representing Chester
county, introduced a preamble and resolu
tion.-, in the House of Representatives set
ting forth in detail the evils of slavery and
the elave trade in the District e>f Columbia
—in tbe following words;
Whereas, the Constitution has given to
Congress, within the District of Columbia,
the power of exclusive legislation in a'i
cases h atsower,
And whereas, the laws in reepeot lo
slavery iu tbe District of Columbia have
have been wi-pRj neglected.
From which neglect, for nearly thirty
years, have grown numerous and gross cor
ruptions;
Slave dealers, gaimag couSdene front
iinptOiity, have made the seat of the federal
government their head quarters for carrying
on the domestic slave trade;
The public pr;s u ns have lieea extensive
ly ttseij (perverted front the purposes for
wtnfch tScf were i fecfi'd] for carrying on the
domestic slave trade;
Officers of the r'oderal Government have
been employed and derive emolument from
carrying on the domestic slave trade;
Private and secret prisons exist in the
District for carrying on this traffic in hu
man beings;
The trade is not confined to those who
are slaves tor 4 life; but persons having a
limited time to serve, are bought, by the
slave dealers, and sent where redress is
hopeless;
Others are kidnapped and carried away
before they can be rescued;
Instances of death, from auguish and de
spair, exhibited in the District, mark the
cruelty of this traffic;
Instances of maiming aod suicide, exe
cuted or attempted, have becti exhibited'
growing out of this traffic within the Dis
trict;
Free persons of color coming into the
District, are liable to arrest, imprisonment;
and sale into s'a very for life for jail fees, i'
utiabie, from ignorance, misfortune, or
fraud, to prove their freedom;
Advertisements beginning, "We will
give cash for one hundred likely young ne
grocs, of both sexes, from eight to twenty
five years old," contained iu the public
prints of the city, under the notice of C on
gress, indicate the openness aud extent of
the traffic;
Scenes of human beings exposed et pub
lic vendue are exhibited here, permitted hy
the laws of the general government; a wo
mxu having beeu advertised -Ho be void at
Loyd's tavern, near the central utaikei
house," during the month of December;
A gt attd jury of the District ha* present
ed the slave irade as a grievance;
A writer iu a public print in the Di-tiict
has set forth "that to those who never have
seen a spectacle of the kiud, (exhibited by
the slave trade,) no description can give an
adequate idea of its horrors;
To each extent bad this been carried in
ISI6, tint a member of Congress from
Virgiuia, introduced a resolution in the
House, - That a committee be appoiuted to
examine into tbe existence of an inhuman
and illegal 'ruffle in slaves, carried on, in
and thrangh the district of Columbia, and
report whether any, and what measures are
necessary for the pu'ling a stop to the
same:''
The ilon.ie of Representatives of Pcnn
sylvauii, at their last session, by un almost
unanimous vote, expressed tbe opinion thu 1
slavery, within the District of Columbia,
ought to be abolished.
Numerous petitions, from various parts of
the Union, have been presented to "Con
gress, praying for the revision of the laws
;n respect to slavery, and the gradual abo"
lition wf slavery therein;
And whereas, the ten miles square, con
fided to the exclusive legislation of Con-
gress, ought, for the honor of Republican
Gove Turnout, and the interest., of the Dis
trict, to exhibit a specimen of pure and
just laws.
Bi it Resolved, That the Committee for
tbe District of Columbia bo instructed-to
take into consideration the laws withiu the
District, in respect to slavery; that they in
quire iDto tbe slave trade us it exists in,
and is carried on through the District; and
that tLey report to the House such amend
ments to the existing laws as shall 6eem to
them to be just;
Resolved, That the Committee be fur- j
ther instructed to inquire into tbc cxpedi- \
enoy of providing by law, for the gradual j
abolition of slavery within the District, in ;
such manner that the interest of no individ
ual shall bo injured thereby.
Mr. Weews, of Maryland, moved the
question of consideration, on which que- j
tiou Mr. Miner demanded the yeas and uaya ,
aui they were ordered by the House.
So the question being, "Will the House i
now consider this resolution?" it was deci

[See .Vires' Register of Janunrs 10, 18-10.]
Among the yens will be observed the
| name ct James Buchanan sad almost the
i entire Pennsylvania delegation, including
Henry A. Muhlenberg, George Wolf, and
all the Democrats with the exception of
George Kremer.
In 1828, the Legislature of Pennsylvania
j having a large Democratic majority, pasne l
a resolution almost unanimously in favor of
abolishing slavery in the District of Colum
bia, and the delegation iu Cougres from
Pennsylvania were found mstaiuiniug with
equal tin annuity, the project. &r abolition.
Then Mr. Buchanan and those who voted
for him were abolitionists —they wanted to
abolish fclavery where it existed, under s-ine
tiou of law. Ou 'his occasion, too, Mr. Bu
chanan gave a sectional vote —ar. the prop
osition was sustained by the Northern and
opposed by the Southern numbers.
When Col. Fremont was in the Senate a
similar proposition was introduced, in al.
most the identical terms, to abolish slavery
in the District, which he voted against—as
did Mr. Dayton. Vet-these are called abo
lition candidates by the Buchanan press—
although neither of thetu ever gave an abo
lition or sections! vote in their lives: where
as we have proved from the record that Mr.
Buchanan did give an übolitiou vote on the
9;h f January, 1829..
We jlo not say that Mr. Buchanan was
right In 1819, when he was in favor of ex
eluding a State from the Uuion because its
constitution tolerated slavery, nor yet in
1529, when he voted (in effect) for the übo*
litioa of slavery in the District ot •Colum
bia; but he was right in IS-L>, when he
stood on the Missouri Compromise line, aud.
declared that north of that line slavery
should nel'er go.
Why has he fled from that position! Mas
freedom in the territories proved a failure?
Have those territories in which slavery has
been restricted been loss prosperous than
those where slavery was allowed to euter?—
Has Illiuois been surpassed in prosperity bj
Arkansas, or Ohio by Kentucky?
If he is not willing tn barter his princi
ples for office, the alternative is that he
fears the South, and that owing to his tim
idity he backed up from 36 deg. 30 unit
now, as be from the same cause backed down
from 54 deg. 30 rain, before the roar of the
British Lion. Whichever horn of the di
lemma be taken, it matters not, whether
the desertion of principles be owing to sel
fish motives or fear, what right thinking
man will say that he deserves the vote of a
solitary Free State?
It i but proper to add that on the final
passage of the resolutions, after considera
ble feeling bad been aroused by debate,
Mr. Bucbauan, with characteristic timidity,
dodged the rote! while Muhlenberg, Wolf,
Sutherland, Stierigere, and others, of the
delegation stood their ground like men.—
Even at that early day Mr. Bueh&uan seem*
to hare been troubled with a weak spine f
\ which has grown weaker with caoh sucoaediug
i
A BASE FORGERY.
Tbe Lancaster Intelligencer , tbe home
organ of Mr. Buchanan, publishes what
purports to be an extract from a let ter of
the Hon. Robert C. Winthrop, in which he
declares himself in favor of Mr. Buchanan.
It u a base forgery, and we so pronounce it
to be. We published, yesterday, a gen nitre
letter of Mr. Wioijurop's, written in reply
to an iavitatiou to address a meeting iu
Brooklyn and iu that letter as those cf
our readers who read it and remember, he
clearly and unequivocally declares himself
it. favor of Mr. Filltuorc. The Loco Foco
psrty must indeed be reduced very low. and
the hotn" oigan of Mr. /?nchanan u.ast feel
that bis prospects are very desperate, when
a resort of such base tueaus are deemed ne
cessary to bolster un a sinking and hop-less
cause — Daily .YYtrs.

performance was commenced at 1 o'clock,

amid fire and smoke the speaker continued

only interesting part of the performance
was the clegaot music discoursed by the
Woodbury Baud. Entirely the richest
thing that.oceured was the attempt of the
President to raise funds to pay the "band."
So little interest was manifested in the per

on the Americans an 1 Republicans for aid.

THE UNION STATE TICKET.
We fear that in the midst of the prevail
ing agitation upou the subjeot of the Presi
dent}-, our friends are in danger <if forget
ting tbe great importance of carrying the
State at the October election. Whilst uear
ly all of the Opposition journals, in every
quarter of the Commonwealth, have aasiga
; od the Union ticket for State officers a con
spicuous place at the head of their columns,
I the aliusions to it in their editorial depart
l ment are few and far betwecu This over
! sight should be at once corrected. Iu a lit
tle less than two months from this day, the
first great battle is to be fought in the Old
Keystone, upon the result of which will iu
a great measure depend our success or de
feat at the enduing November election. If,
we by our supiceuess, or any other cause,
permit the Buvbauuu Stato Ticket to carry
the State, we may us well throw down our
arms and abaodon the field. A defeat at
the first eleotiou would be utterly fatal to
our hopes. Even if we really possessed the
strength to overthrow the Buchanan electo
ral ticket, the dLhsarteaiug effect of the
first reverse would patsy oar most determin
ed efforts. This point oannotbe too strong
ly urged upon tbo attention of all the oppo
nents of tbe pseudo-Democracy. A cor
dial union has bc*a effected upon the State
> Ticket, upon grounds of hostility to the
National Administration, and if carried out
in good faith, nothing can prevent us from
sweeping the State by a majority which will
he counted by tent of thousands.**
To the friends and supporters cf Mr. Fre
mont we trust it is unnecessary for us to say
anything more f o rouse them to a vigorous
effort on behalf of the Uniou ticket. A
moment's consideration will show them the
disastrous results which will assuredly flu*
frqin a failure to eawy the State at the Oc
tober clecttoo- Ir view of the impending
consequences they should labor to bring out
as full a vote upon that occasion as they
will endeavor to poll iu the November con.
test. Every citizen of Pennsylvania who
intends giving bis suffrage to Col. Fremont,
should cast his vote in favor of Messrs.
Cochran, Phelps aud Luporte ou the second
Tue.sdat of October. The elec'ion of the
Union State Ticket will not render it certain
that, the electoral vote of Pennsylvania wiil
ti ttiri>wn for the people's Caudidate for
the Presidency; but the success of the op
posing ticket will most assuredly give the
rftate to Mr. Buchanan. Wo trust then that
the stroug Republican districts of North and
Western PeoiK'-yivauu will be up to the lull
measure of their duty on the 14th of Octo
ber, as well as on the 4th of November.
To iho*c- who differ with us upon the ques
tion of the Presidency, but are united in
hostility t<> the National Administration, we
can oniv sav that in casting their votes fur
i - °
the Union Ticket, whi.h they helped to
frame, they are compromising none of their
views, and expressing noqppinion fur or
against lhcir chosen candidate. The result
of the October election, if it be the succs*
of tie Union Ticket, will be nothing more
nor less than a veriic; against the im-n aod
measures of the Pierce Administration and
the party which placed it in power, and
: would continue its reign in the person of
Jam is Buchanan. It certainly cannot and
i will n<4 be regarded as a Fremont victory,
' for if the Lien-is of Mr. Fillmore should
still persist if) voting for him. we should
probably taii to carry the State for Mr. Fre
ilreeit, even though the Union Ticket was
successful at the October election. Arid
I we sav nut, bv w.:t "f cauttoft to our trends
outside of" the State, that no such claim as
this must fce assorted, iu the event nf the
defeat of the Buchanan ticket for State offi
cer*. Nothing wiil be demonstrated by
suclt a result but the fact that a majority of
the people cf Penncjivaoia are hostile to
the policy of the present National A liuiuU
trat ion.
We loive written, thus not because we
have seen any evidences of a disposition til
the ranks of either sectioL of the Opposi
tion to refuse their support to a ticket
which was formed by a Convention in which
they wit Loth represented. 'So far as wo
have observed, whenever that ticket ha
beeu alluded to, it has been commended to
; the CoutiJeoce of the anti-Administration
voters. But the difficulty is that we arc in
danger of entirely losiug sight of it, in the
excitement of the Presidential contest.
We need to have ocr memories refreshed,
and we trust that from this time forward
1 every man who desires the defeat of JAMES
■ BUCHANAN will remember that, the firs t
i Mow, ar.il perhaps she decisive oue of the
campaign, most ho s'.iu k at tha O-tuber

prove a death blow to sll hopes of carryiug
the Siatc tor Mr. Buchanan in November.
Defeated and v rwnelmed hi October, in
his native St ate, on his own chosen battle
ground, he would be virtually out of the
Presidential oontest after such a defeat, and
the struggle thenceforth would be between
Fillmore and Fremont. Let tie Loco Foco
party be routed, iu UetoLer, in tb Key*
stone, and the fact thus be made apparent,
that Mr. Bucbatwn cannot get the electoral
vote even cf bis own State, and must,'here
fore, inevitably bo defeated, no nutter what
support he ieight receive in the South, and,
oor word far it, he will thenceforth be con
sidered cat of tho cant'-st, and not receive
fhe elector til veto of two Southern States.
His defeat liere, in October, will satisfy all
minds. No oh and South, that tha contest is
actually betweeu Fillmore auit Fremont,
and, wheu the public mind levom-s once
fully satisfied of luat fact theu the election
of M>'. Fillmore is a fixed fact.
The Loco Foco lenders, in this State, well
understanding tue critical position their
party occupies, well knowing that its
defeat, in the State, iu October, will put an
end to all their hopes of electing Mr. Bu

defeat the T. nton State Ticket, they now ex
ert themselves most desperately to cause a
diversiou from the support of that Union
Ticket. They know full well that in union
there is strength, and hence they seek to
divide and conquer, by circulating all sort
of misrepresentations ami falsehoods iu re

deceive and mislead? Is there a true friend

In 1844, when Mr. CLAY was running fur
the Presidency, JSccHANAS and HIGLKR
were both ou the stump against him iu
Pennsylvania, BruLER repealed again and
again the etaie and refuted slander which
BUCHANAN had started against Mr. CLAY.
and BUCHANAN heard it, and teas silent.—
They both stood under a banner with a
bloody hand pointed upou it, wheh tore the
inscription, -H>::RY CLAY the murderer of
ths I inenUd ATLMLY," aud under that
lying Sag. tbey both declared that "JAMTH
K. POLK WI a better Tariff man than
HENRY CLAY." The Whigs of the inte
rior of Pennsylvania will remember these
incidents when such honorable meu testify
to the patriotism and virtue of the sage of
Ashland. Thila. Times.
