We publish this morning letter from the Hon. James
Buchanan which he expresses his decided dsapproba
cratic doctrine on the subject We have contended from
the beginning Of this agitation, that there only
cafe and constitutional rule for the government Of the
democratic party and of Congress-and that is to let
the question alone" The constitution gives to Congress
no power the subject and such authority cannot be
exercised without Infringement on State sovereignty
We pleased 10 see so distinguished northern states
the Secretary Of State speak plainly on question
of such vital interest to the confederacy We know OF
northern democrat occupying prominent place IN his
party in the country, who disposed to countenance
the Provso and look hereafter for the prevalence OF
wiser counsels and greater harmony 1t is true, few
soneht TO make personal capital out OF the Proviso bu
thew are doomed to sore disappointment Only few OF
them have been honored with seat in the next Congress-
Dortine such measure their conduct will be fully u.
dersood The question Of slavery mus, be left TO the
