WAsHINoroN, Aug. 9Th, 1851,

GENTLEMEN: have received your most COM
plimentary invitation to meet you and other
friends at Pittsburgh, on the goth inst.
This is an invitation extremely difficult to re-
sst-and if it were possible, or rather proper,
for me, considering my position, to accept, i
certainly should be in the midst of you at the
time you appoint, for truly believe that there
is not portion of America more remarkable
for strong arms and warm breasts, ever ready in
the cause of their country and friends, than the
region of Western Pennsylvania.
With thousands of my countrymen, native
and adopted, of that region, have exchanged
in peace the warm grasp of friendship; and
with thousands, brothers, have trod the battle
fields Of Mexico, and received their shouts of
victory. My heart, therefore, will be with the
meeting on the Goth inst.
remain, gentlemen, your friend and fellow
citizen WINFIELD SCOTT.

aif. Buchanan.

From the Union of Sunday, We extract tic
following remarks of Mr.. BUCHANAN, in ac-
acknowledgements of hickory cane presented
through Dr. LEIB, of Lucas County, Iva, on
behalf of portion of the Democracy of that
State.
Upon receiving the cane, accompanied with
the proceedings of the meeting, from DIR. LEIB,
Mr.. BUCHANAN responded as follows
SIR accept with profound gratitude the
(" hickory cane +" which my distant Democratic
friends of Lucas county, in the State of Iowa,
have, through you, presented to me as token OF
their regard. The character Of the donors greatly
enhances the value Of the gift. A crown of olives
was the distinction conferred by the free people
Of Greece upon the victors in the Olympic games;
and this they priced far more highly than crown
sparkling with precious stones, II bestowed by a
despot. This plain but beautiful hickory
cane, coming, as it does, from the hands of the
hardy pioneer farmers of Iowa, who plough their
own soil, shall ever be precious in my eyes. The
penalty imposed on the first parents of our race,
that by the sweat of their face they should eat
bread, has been converted by a kind Providence
into signal blessing. The cultivation of the soil
imparts vgor to the body and Independence to
the mind. The man who handles the plough pos
sesses both strength and courage 10 handle the
sword IN defence OF his country, Such mas ever
been the character Of the pioneers who have sub
dued the wilderness and extended the domain OF
civilization towards the Far West.
With you. heartily rejoice in the belief that
the compromise measures of the late Congress
have finally settled the dangerous questions among
the States Of our confederacy, arising out OF the
institution of domestic slavery We must expect,
however, after the violent storm which has pre-
vailed that some time will yet elanse before the
surges Of public opinion shall entirely subsde
but err long all will be peace, provided the people
of the non-saveholding States shall faithfully ex-
ecute the fugitive slave law, and to interfere
with the domestic institutions exclusively pertain
ing to their sister States Meanwhile, the Amer
lean people, relieved from the apprehension of
danger to the Union will continue to execute their
grand mission of extending the empire Of liberty,
of law, and of Christianity over our vast uroccu-
pied territory, The people Of Lucas county will
not be long on the frontier. One wave of popula-
ton wilrpass beyond them after another, until the
whole region between them and the Rocky noun
tains shall be covered by moral, Industrious and
enterprising race of fresmen, There are individ-
uals in this company who may live TO see the day
when we shall number one hundred millions of
souls within our terr tory, and constitute more
powerful nation than the Roman empire ever was
in the meridian of It's glory. ...... ..

what there has been may, perhaps, be consid.
cred as equalled by the number Of foreigners
passing into Canada, after landing at New
York, n any having been drawn thther by the
opportunities Of employment afforded by the
public works Of the province. As the heaviest
portion Of this great influx Of immigration took
place in the latter half OF the decade it will prob
ably be fair TO estimate the natural increase dur
ing the term, at IL per cent, being about one
third Of that of the white population Of the coun
try at lis commencement This will swell the
aggregate to l,739,l92. Deducting this Access
sion TO the population from the whole amount

rate per cent is reduced TO $685.
