Excerpt from Life and Public Services of Hon. James Buchanan of Pennsylvania Opinion universally indicated Mr. Buchanan as pre-emi uently the man for the mission, and so warmly was he urged to accept it, and so ¿attering to himself, and so exacting upon his patriotism, were the grounds upon which his acceptance was pressed, that he could no longer persist in his hesitation, but with that careful and just regard to the gallant corps of Democrats who had carried Pennsylvania for Pierce and King, he made it a condition of his acceptance, that his appoint ment should not be considered as accorded to his State, thereby diminishing in the least the share of appoint ments to which Pennsylvania was entitled. The condi tion was freely assented to, and Mr. Buchanan was ap pointed, not as a Pennsylvanian, but as a citizen from the country at large.
