ATLANTA, OBOSOIAi
SATURDAY, MARCH l>, 1601.
The Administration of James Buchanan.
Should the peu of the future historian cor
rectly portray the leading features of tha Ad
ministration of James Buchanan as President
of the United States ef America, commencing
bis term of office March 4th, 1857, and ending
March 4th, 18C1, posterity will point to that
Administration as the most infamous in the
Annals of Republican institutions.
All things considered, history does not, nor
could not, furnish a parallel.
When Mr. Buchanan eutored upon the dis
charge of the duties as chief Executive of the
American Republic, he found the country unu
sually prosperous and happy. Commerce,
manufactures and agriculture were remunera
live in the highest degree. Public confidence
was unshaken, private interests protected, end
the general welfare guarded and promoted —
The arts and sciences flourished; and under
the administrative abilities of hia predecessors,
American progress and American institutions
had not only become the Nation’* pride, but
the wonder and admiration of civilisation.
But from the hour James Buohanan became
President of the United States, from that hour
commenced the decline, and finally the de
struction of the American Union of States.—
Being by nature and confirmed habit, treach
erous and deceptive, he brought disgrace upon
himself and his Administration. Hit name
and Administration will henceforth be a by
word of scorn and contempt, and with cancer
ous tenacity cling uuto death to the vitals of
those who have administered to his appetites
and conformed to bis mandates. Treachery,
deception, imbecility, indeeission, venality and
corruption has marked his Administration from
its inception to its ignominious expiration.
History but too plainly demonstrates that, i
a large majority of instances, Mr. Buchana
was peculiarly unfortunate in his appoint
ments. The Covode investigating committee
astounded the American people, as well as dis
gusted other governments, by an exposition of
the most incredible corruptions—corruptions
in which the President himself was crimina-
tod. And from tho Post Oflice defalcation of
Isaac V. Fowler of New York, in conjunction
with innumerable other robberies, the most
startling disclosures are constantly beiDg made
to the utter disgust of every citizeD. The col
lussion with Abraham Lincoln, the endorser of
Helper’s impending crisis to defeat Stephen A.
Douglas in the State of Illinois, and the use of
the public monies in bribing Congress members
in the Lecompton and Kansas embroglio, prove
Mr. Buchanan to have been the most unscru
pulons of public men. His effort to procure at
appropriation of thirty millions, under the pre
tence of purchasing the Island of Cuba, and
lastly the arrest of Gen. William Walker by
Paulding and Davis, and finally the murder of
Walker are evidences conclusive to us that Mr.
Buchanan was no patriot cr friend to the ex
tension of slavery.
Independent of the frauds, swindling, in
ficience in office, and every species and variety
of peculation aud corruption which has chi
acterizsd his Administration, his most ardent
aud devoted admirers cannot point to the first
oasis cf virtuous statesmanship in that great
desert of American history circumscribed by
his term, that is not tsinted by disingenuous-
nesa or blighted by falsity and deception.
Gen. Jackson well understood the character
of Mr. Buchanan when he declared that he
could not be trusted. Mr. Buchanan was elect
ed to the Presidency by tho freest and happi
est people in existence, the sovereigns of the
best government ever made by man. He has
destroyed the party which placed him in pow
er; he haa destroyed the commerce and trade
of the American people; he has brought star
vation and dependence upon liundieds and
thousands; he has brought the Government
of Washington and Jackson into ridicule and
contempt; he has deceived bis friends and
cheated his enemies; and has destroyed the
Union of tho State*, aud by his p licy the land
of liberty is now threatened to be deluged in
fratricidal blood.
Doring the Administration of Mr. Buchanan,
the Fugitive Slave Law has not been enforced.
nor a foot of Slave territory lias been added to
the Union. Nor has the interests of Slavery
been fostered in any manner; but on the con
trary, the Cuban, Kansas, and Central Ameri
can policy of the Buchanan Administration
was inaugurated to destroy Slavery. John
Brown raids, insurrections, conflagrations, and
insubordination, combined with the rise of
isms, and tho circulation of incendiary docu
ments, has marked the black era of James
Buchanan’s reign.
He deceived the South by the O.tend Mani
festo, his Cuban, Kansas, and Central Ameri
can policy. He defrauded tho North-Western
Democracy by the defeat of Douglss, and has
most effectually swindled the Yankee 8tates
out of the Union. He gave to the exasperated
South, the small torts and arsenals within
their territory, but reserve*!, for his friend Lin
coln, the strongholds of Sumpter and Pickens.
He made friends with the Puritans by order
ing reinforcement* to Forts Sumter and Pick
ens, but appeased the South by causing the Star
oj the West to retire, without returning the fire
upon Morris' Island. He opposes coercion in
hia message, but order* Anderson and fllem-
mcr to retain Sumter and Pickens.
Thus it is, Mr. Buchanan is all things to all
sections, but stealthily Malignant to those who
have not bowed to his behests. He has now
retired to the shades of obliquy and contempt,
unhunored, and disgraced. Let him go, pos
terity will write his epitaph I
A Pregnant Question.
The President of the United Slates, in that
unhappy tissue of ignorance, craft and mask
ed hestility, called the Inaugural, asks this
question: ought not a law be passed to secure
* the eltisens of each State all the privileges
and immunities of the citizens of the several
States?" Take this hint and cont-true it with
the light thrown on it by his previous bold as
sertion, that “the different States have the
power to make a negro acifizen under the Con
stitution of tho United Stales, if they choose.
The l)red Scotldecision decides that they have
not that power.” We see that, in as grave and
impressive a paper as an Inaugural Address,
the Abolition President of the North instilts
one-half of the States once belonging to the
Uuion over which he piesides, by asserting a
doctrine at war with their peace, honor and
safety. Gen. Cass was right when he said, in
his Detriot speech, that the world never wit
nessed such madness before, as instigates the
present troubles of tho country.

An officer of the Army of Occupation, just
arrived from the forts near Pensacola, furnish

be read with interest:
Capt. O’Hara is in command of Fort McRae.
He has by the most nntiring efforts placed it in
a proper state of defence. The guus are all
mounted and his men well drilled us caunon-

night and day, and his efforts are worthy of
the highest commendation.
Among other preparations aud precautions,
Capt. O’Hara warned the Wyandotte to keep

the fleet and Nary Yard.

GEORGIA STATE CONVENTION.

I understand, will, however, return and take
their seats on Monday. Such men as Toombs,

The Journal of the last day a eiuing in xun-

Mr. Hood offered n resolution in relation to
the oath of tho President ami members of the
Convention. The oath is, to support the Pro
visional Constitution of the Con federate States.
Mr Hood supported the resolution. Wlieu
this body assciublod at Milledgeville, it watt
not necessary to take tiie oath to support the
United States Constitution, but he thought that,
as sinco that time a Government hud been
formed, it had become necessary.
Mr. Robertson, of Macon, wished to wait till
the permaneut Constitution was adopted, and
Mr. Fouebc saw no necessity of swearing at
all; be was opposed to it in the abstract. Be
sides, this was a Convention of the Sovereign
people, and above all Constitutions.
Mr. Ilood’a resolution was put, aud lost, by
a very large majority.
Mr. Smith, of DeKalb, moved a resolution
that Dr. Hoyle, of said county, bo allowed to

The site aelected for its permanent Councils ident would do his duty, and reinforce Ander
son and protect him at all hazards. It South
Carolina resisted, the consequences would be
on her own bead. Dr. Wirt told him what
would be the effect of such a course on (he
South. All the conservative and Union-lov
ing men of Virginia and the South would re
sist ; secession would result, and the entire
South forced iulo Union. He answered, that
could not be helped. When Dr. Wirt inquir
ed if he ever expected the South to return to
the Uniou after (heir homes bad been threat
ened nud their country devasted, he answer
ed, “We do uot want them to return. If
the slave .States remain in the Union, they
will have to be satisfied with much less thau
they are now demanding.’ Dr. Win then inquir
ed if he expected to subjucate the South ? He
said: * Ten inilliotis of people with four
millions of slaves iu their midst, could scarce
ly resist twenty six millions.* Hut what is
your object ? inquired Dr. Wirt, and he an
swered, Mo free the slave who is the cause of
the war.’ What will you do with him when
thus freed? * Allow you to have him as a
“ Peon" to work your fields, if you are wil
ling to pay for their services; if not, they can
be colonized in ‘Central America.* Dr Wirt
then inquired if (be fugitive slate law was »o
be respected. Mr. Chase said; ‘It would
be modified, aud when a slave who escaped
was ptrsutd and identified, he could he given
up or paid for, if paid for, he would be sent to
the aforesaid colony in Central America.’
“ He added, in the event of war in the
South, no slaves would be in Virginia within
one year ; and in leu years no slaves would
be found within the borders of Southern Con
federacy ”

“The Wicked Fleeth When no man Pur-
suetht”
That is the proper text for the president's
chaplain to pieach from, the first time Lin
coln atteuds church. The other clause would
seem to he more applicable to his wife, a high
spirited Kentucky lady, than to himself,—
t. r., “The righteous are as bold as a lion.”—
The Baltimore correspondent ot the Charleston
Mercury says that he happens to know the
only and true cause of Lincoln’s midnight run
through Maryland. Those whose deep inter
est it ia to have him alive in Washington were
afraid to allow him to pas-* through the State
of Maryland by daylight, and with this end in
view, numerous dispatches were received by
his keepers in Harri-burg, on Friday night,
to tho effect that the train on the Northern
Central Railway would be thrown from the
track al a point where the death of all on
board would be inevitable. These dispatches
were sent by Gen. Scott, Senator Seward, and
oiliers, who averred their information was
from reliable sources in Baltimore. Lincoln
was hurried oft by (he circuitous way of Phil
adelphia—not even allowed to toke his wife
aud children with him, but compelled to let
them lake the very train that he bad been di
rected to avoid. What did the interested ones
care for poor Mrs. Lincoln and her children,
so that the great aim of their ambition, the
tool they haveelegated to the Presidency, was
safely aud securely caged in Washington ?—
What will the world think of a man, no mat
ter how high or low his pocition, who will
shrink from a danger, and at the same time
allow Ids wife and childreu to encouuter it?
Why, the instincts of the veriest brute in the
animal creation compels it to protect its oft -

will, os a consequence, become a city, great,
wealthy, and maguificent, in proportion to the
greatness and glory of that Republic which
has chosen her for its Capital.
Amongst tho places which havo been men
tioned as the future Federal City of this new
Government, the city of Atlanta is, perhaps,
the most promineut; aud it certainly combines
more advantages and more arguments in its
favor than any other location that has been
j suggested. But it may be jostled aside, and
lose its advantages, by apathy and inatten
tion to its own imposing and eminent claims,
aud some other city, less favorably situated,
but more urgent aud active, may obtain the
position to which wo are, under every view
which should goveru this matter, legitimately
entitled. Something definite should be done
by this city and county, without delay, to show,
not merely that we are candidates fir the per
manent installment of the Federal Govern-
meut in our midst, but that we are willing and
read. to aubmit to all qualifications And con
ditions needful to make our city aud conter
minous territory a suitable permaoeut site for
our Southern Republic. Nothing less than the
eminent domain over our city, and such sur
rounding territory as might be necessary, would
meet the expectations, or answer the purpose,
of the Confederate States. If we desire, then,
for Atlanta to become the Federal City, and to
enjoy the great advantages that would accrue
to us from the position in the world that this
would give us, we should, at once, and without
delay, memorialize and empower the Georgia
j Convention, now in session, to tender to the
j Confederate States the exclusive jurisdiction,
or domain, over our city, and such surrounding
territory as might be esteemed needful to make
j us an inviting and consistent Federal District.
The writer cannot (hink tlint it would be go-
: ing too far, to authorize our Convention to ten-
! dor to the Confederation a formal and perma-
1 nent cession of the city of Atlanta and county
I of Fulton for the purposes of the National Gov-
; ernment. Should this cession be accepted, the
i advantages that Would accrue to this city,
i would far outweigh any aud all objections that
| possibly cau arise from the change of iurisdic-
without representation, is the only considera
tion that should, or ought, t<» weigh, for a mo
ment, against this measure; ami to Ihie, two
answers may, it is believed, Le readily given.
1st. It would be but reasonable that this Dis
trict, (especially if it embraced the whole coun
ty,) should havo a permanent representation
in the Congress, and, accordingly, we have no
doubt, that this right would bo readily conce
ded, and if this right were allowed us, the ob
jection would bo fully met and obviated ; for,
if represented iu the Congress, we should have
as strong assurances of a good government
here, as we cou d have under the Btate of things
now existing.

favor should not ho made, with the advantages
