Nevertheless, we have assumed the re- spomridility of questioning. ‘the rincerity of the friend- p so vebemently professed for that. dia an¢ i In pier vere ot the favorite scn cf the old Keystore State, the Pennsylvanian » noble commorwealth whose name it bears, It was then cortrolled by wise heads and true hearts. Of late its corvmmns seem to be accessible to any turbulent, bad spirit which secke ® receptacle for its maligaity, ita re- verge or ite ealumnios, It haa been but « few weeks since that c mmen slancerer of patriotic stateamen, the NEW Yorx HrRatp, profesced grestatcachment for Mr. Bushan- ‘fn, ana, in i's zeal for bis promotion, urged bis avatla- Dility as the democratic nowinee for the Presidency on the ground that he wou'd bem: re acceptable to ‘the free-soil- ith Cemcersoy of the North’’ than either of the otber demo- rats pamed for the position. After four days, thisarticle, slike urjustto Mr. hawan snd to the Nertharn demo- cracy, appeared in the columns of the Pennsylvanian sao edftoria!, and with such equivocal indication of its ne that wany readers mistook it for an criginal article. We have good reason tc bedeve that the evidence exists that this calumny upon the fair democratic fame of Mr. Bu- chenan and the Northern denfeorasy was ioserted in the Pennsyleanian ugon fail delide ation and consultation. In the discharge of our duty to Mr. Buchanan and to ¢! demociatie rary, we exprsed amd denounced tbe hyp>- crisy of the trifudabip of the Hxnsrp in its advocacy of Mr. Buchanan upon the ground stated in its article. The true friends ot Mr. Buchanan thacked us for our prompt vindication of his churacter against the insidious asrevl. of the Humatp. A'ter remaining cflent for about a week, the Hennsylranion came out and repudiated the ortisle which had appeared in its columns as an editorial, snd declared that it gov into the 4 ta without the know- leege of either editor or propris or Ifthe statement ia true that the article was smuggled into ke Pennsylvanian without the knowledgs of either editor or proprietor, it proves that ita columna are acces- tivle to the evemves of Mz, Buchanan. for the repudistion of the artic'e shows that it was conceded to be acovert at- tack upcn that gentleman. It, on the other hini, tho ar ioe waa Suserted upca del'be-ation and consul cation, as we, be'ieve to be the truth of ‘he matter, it follows either that the Pennsylvanian is under an iofluence and control inimical to Mr. Buchanan, or an influence that would se- cure bis election by temporizing acd comoromiriag with free-soilism. The Pennsylvanian can choose ei her hora ofthe dilemma. A true friend of Mr. Buchsnan would never tave stolen such thuzder from euch a source. Wh» n smuggled into the paper, a true fiiend would not have waited » week be'ore repudi the article With this of the existence of a secret influence to jachanan. which either has clandos- ea to or absolutely controls the Pennsylvanian, we invi.e the real friends cf that ee to examine the extisot which we make from the ten column article, and judge whe her we are guilty of rashnees in suspect: irg the genuinenesa of tha friendship for him which dic- tated it. Its gemezal tenor is, that toasmuch as Mr, Bu- chavan hea been in England ever singe the agitation on the Nebraska question has prevailed, and has not been embroiled with the party conflicts to watch it has given rite, end has expreseed mo optaiin except in private ters: and inesmuch as his position on the eomp-omise of 18% 0 is well known to have been eminently sound and paticnal, thst, theretore, no one will care w have further evic ence of bis posi ion cn the Nebraska issue. We have aseured that the Previ:ential contest is to turn almost exclusively upon the Nebraska issue. Judg- ing Mr. Buchanan by hia past devo'ion to the constitu- tional rights cf every section of the Union, we have main wined that he would not accept a nomination except upen the distinct avowal that he was, heart and sou), identited witn thos? cemccrats who have borne our banper so gallantly throughout the Nebraska struggle. The Pennsylvanian cays tuet cur friendship for him bas been © jesnitical,”” and that our defense of him ageinst the at'ack ot the Hxrarp and its adoption in ite own columns, was “unneceseary.”’ In the estimation of the Pennsylvanian, then, it was not true friendship in usioplece Mr. Buchazan on the came platform with Presicent Pieree Judge Douglas, Senator Huater, Sena- tor Bright and General Cass, but that we would have shown cetter friendship to aliow the HERA and iteelf to meke tre impression thet Mr. Buchanan was williog to reach the Presidemcy by cuurting toe support of free rol.ers. The extrac; from the ten culuma aridiole will ia- dicate with unmistskable clearness the standard of true trlerdsh ip tor Mr. Buchspsn which controls the Penn- sylvanian. We free'y confess that we have wholly mis- sppreben¢ed the cbatacter of this _s aterman ifhe would fer amoment consent to such a demoralization of the democratic par'y as tbe poicy of this article incicates, for the purpore ef being mace Presitent It is equally due to candor te ray that if we believed be wou'a besi- tate to repuciate tue position to which the Pennsytra- wion seeks to acsign bim asa cancicate, we ebould con- sider bim unworthy othe confidence of cur party. We tmoust bave higher au'hority than the Pennsylramun, aa it ia now contro led. before our confidence in James Ba- ckanan oan be shaken. The battte in to be fought on the gest tseue involved in the Nebrasks question—the de- mre atic ty baye made up that issue, and they will have no stan‘ard tearer who cannot furnish the guaran- tee not only of sound antecedents, but of present hearty and uxdieguised and outspoken advocacy of the principle of the Nebraska bill. Ic will be teen that we publish the two letters of Mr, Buchsnan refertd to in the closing paragraphs cf the ex- tract from the Pouns,lvanian’s ten column article, We pubiish them exactly ae chey appeat ia that paper of Mondey ast. ‘The stars ixdieate suppressions or omis- sions which are the work of the Pennsylvanian.
