The Lancaster _Register_ then pursues its criticism as follows:

"On the 4th of July, 1815, Mr. Buchanan, when he was a
candidate for Assembly on the _Federal ticket_, delivered 'an
oration' in Lancaster, in which he showed his _love_ of
Federalism and _hatred_ of Democracy, by attacking the
Administration of James Madison. He said:

"'Time will not allow me to enumerate all the other evils and
wicked projects of the Democratic administration.'

"And again, in the same oration, he said:

"'What must be our opinion of an opposition whose passions were
so dark and malignant as to be gratified in endeavoring to
blast the character and imbitter the old age of Washington?
After thus persecuting the saviour of his country, _how can the
Democratic party dare to call themselves his disciples_?'"

And who does not recollect, in Tennessee, with what force and effect
JAMES C. JONES used to point out JAMES BUCHANAN as one of the _rank old
Federalists_ who had come over to the Democratic ranks, and was battling
with _Col. Polk_, side by side, while he was consuming half his time in
abuse of the Federal party? When the Democratic candidate for Congress
in this District, JULIUS W. BLACKWELL, charged _Federalism_ upon the
Whig party, who does not recollect with what effect and spirit JOHN H.
CROZIER ran over the list of ODIOUS OLD FEDERALISTS, then fighting under
the Democratic flag, among them naming out JAMES BUCHANAN? And will not
the files of the KNOXVILLE POST, edited by Capt. JAMES WILLIAMS, show
how he held up JAMES BUCHANAN and others as an _old Federalist of the
first water_?

On the subject of _Slavery_ the memoir is not definite, and the
Lancaster Register comes to its aid by publishing the following
proceedings of a public meeting held in that city on the 23d of
November, 1819:

"WHEREAS, the people of this State, pursuing the maxims and
animated by the beneficence of the great founder of
Pennsylvania, first gave effect to the gradual abolition of
slavery by a national act, which has not only rescued the
unhappy and helpless African within their territory from the
demoralizing influence of slavery, but ameliorating his state
and condition
