rth and South, can see what
sort of a man the Democracy are asking them to vote for for the
Presidency!

In his Fourth of July oration in 1815, delivered in the hearing of an
immense crowd, and afterwards published in all the leading papers of
Pennsylvania, Mr. Buchanan came out as a _Know-Nothing_, which he has
now to repudiate in stepping upon the _Anti-American Catholic Platform_
prepared for him at Cincinnati! Here is what he said in that celebrated
oration:

"The greater part of those foreigners who would not be thus
affected by it, have long been the warmest friends of the
party. They had been _one of the great means of elevating the
present ruling_ (Democratic) party, and it would have been
ungrateful for that party to have abandoned them. To secure
this foreign feeling has been the labor of their leaders for
more than twenty years, and well have they been paid for their
trouble, for it has been one of the principal causes of
introducing and continuing them in power. Immediately before
the war this foreign influence had completely embodied itself
with the majority, particularly in the West, and its voice was
heard so loud at the seat of government, that President Madison
was obliged either to yield to its dictates or retire from

private interests to the public good, and therefore hurried us
into a war for which we were utterly unprepared."

And then again:

"We ought to use every honest exertion to turn out of power
those weak and wicked men whose wild and visionary theories
have been tested and found wanting. Above all, we ought to
drive from our shores foreign influence, and cherish American
feeling. Foreign influence has been in every age the curse of
republics--its jaundiced eye sees every thing in false
colors--the thick atmosphere of prejudice by which it is ever
surrounded, excluding from its sight the light of reason. Let
us then learn wisdom from experience, and for ever banish this
fiend from our country."

And here is what JACKSON thought of BUCHANAN. The Democratic Washington
correspondent of the New York Evening Post, who was favorable to the
nomination of Pierce, makes this statement--a statement we have often
heard before, and never heard contradicted:

"On the night before leaving Nashville to o
