We take the following extract from the |
Union's article :
Wc have assumed that the Presidential con
list is to turn almost exclusively upon the Ne
l.r-j-ka issue. Judging Mr. Huchanan by hi
past devotion to the constitutional rights of
every section of the Union, wc huve maintained
that In- would not accept a nomination except
upon the distinct avowal that he was. In-art und
soul, indentified with those democrats who have
borne our banner so gallantly throughout the
Nebraska struggle. 'Hie Pennsylvanian say
that our friendship for him has been "jcsuitical'
and that our defence of him against the attack
or the Urrahl and its adnptina in its own col
umns, was ‘‘iinncci-tuiary.' In the estimation |
of tla: Pennsylvanian , then, it was not true j
friendship in us to place Mr. Huchanan on the
same platform with President Pierce, Judge j
Douglas, Senator Hunter, Senator Bright uml
General Csss, but that we would have shown
'** ’ sss fw<sni * (slbsw ttw- J&rnM. Mt'LifwJl.
to mak* the impression that Mr. Bnchanan
I was willing to reach the Presidency by court
ing the support ol frw-soilers The extract from
tin- ten column article will indicate with un
mi.-takahli- clearness thu standanl of true Iricnd
ship for Mr. Bnchanan which enotrolsthc/Vnu
lylvaman.
Wc freely confess that we have wholly mi*
apprehended the character of this statesman if
lie would for a moment consent to such a dc
