Letter From Mr.. Buchanan.

The following is an extract from letter writ
ten by this distinguished Statesman, to amemb-
er of Congress from this State:
WHEATLAND, near Lancaster, June s, 1852.
My DEAR SIK:-For the first time I have had
fair trial. My own delegation was able, faith
full, active and energetic; but they could not
command success This was not their fault
am now perfectly satisfied with the result, be-
longing, as do, to the school of optimists
l shall give to the nominees a decided sup
port, as intend to do as long as shall live, to
the nominees of the Democratic party The
principles of our great party are those which a.
lone can secure the prosperity and perpetuity of
the Union. For Col. King entertain the warm
est feelings of friendship. purer, better, or
sounder-judging man does not live. I know
General Pierce very well. Throughout his con-
gressonal career, he uniformly maintained the
character of sound and inflexible Democrat
and an honest and honorable man. Wemust do
our duty, an6 leave the consequences to Provi-
dence.
From your friend, very respectfully,
JAMES BUCHANAN

William II ufus h ing Democratic Candi-
date for Vice President.

This statesman resides at Selma, Alabama,
and is now President of the United States Sen
ate, over which body he also pre- sided in the
twenty-fourth, twenty-ffth and twenty sixth
Congress. He is a native of North Carolina, is
about sixty-fve years of age, and has never
been married. He is, we believe, the same Will
liam r. King, who was a member of Congress
from North Carolina, from 1911 to 1917 inclu-
sive.
On the admission Of Alabama as State, he
was chosen one of the first United States Sena-
18l9-continuing to represent Alabama in the
Senate for % years, viz from 1918 to 1874
In the latter year he was appointed Ambassador
to France, and represented the United States at
that court until l847, when he returned to this
country, and was again elected United States
Senator from Alabama.
Mr.. KING is of the Southern rights school of
politics, and did not agree with the Union party
Of the South in their movements. 1t will be
seen, however, by the following letter from him
to Capt. Scott, of Virginia, that he acquiesces
in the compromise =
SENATE CHAMBER, May 20, 1852.
SIR have the honor to acknowledge the re-
ceipt of your letter. and hasten to reply l have
little expectation that my name will, as you sup
pose, be presented to the Baltimore Convention
for the high office to which you refer; but have
no wish to withhold my opinions upon any ques-
ton of public character. | comply, without
hesitation, with your request
As respects the series of measures of the last
Congress, commonly known the Compromise,
most of them are beyond the reach of legisa-
ton and although l considered some of them
as most unjust to the South, was probably the
first individual in the slave-holding States who
publicly took ground in favor of acquiescence
and / am grattied to find that such is now the
of the Southern States. The Fu-
gitive Slave law was enacted to carry out ex-
press provision of the Constitution, and there
fore, does not stand the footing of ordinary
legislation ; and should it so happen that
should be placed in the Presidential office,
should feel myself bound, by every obligation
of duty, to negative any act for its repeal, or
SO to modify or change it as would destroy its
efficiency. With the highest respect, am your
1bedhent servant VIM r. KING.

At a large and enthusiastic meeting of the
democracy of Cumberland county, held at Car
Isle, on Saturday, 18th June, for the purpose
of ratifying the nominations of PIERCE and
KING, Col. A. G.. EGE, of Maryland, heretofore
a member of the Wing party addressed the as
semblage. The Volunteer thus reports him =
"a. G. EGE, Esq, of Carroll county, Mary
land, was then introduced to the meeting, and
received with great degree Of enthusiasm
Mr.. EGE, it is well known, has been a Whig all
his life. He was a Wing member of the Reform
Convention of Maryland, and during the last
Presidential campaign he addressed the Wings
o. this county at their County Meeting. But
Mr.. L. has seen the error of his ways. and has
''come out from the foul party" to assist in the
election of PIERCE and KING. His speech was
eloquent and argumentative, and he concluded
by pledging Maryland for 10000 majority for
PIERCE and KING. When he concluded the
meeting gave him three cheers that fairly made
the house shake"
We had the pleasure to meet Col. Ege at Bed
ford Springs last summer, and then, although
at the time Whig, he strongly desired the de-
feat of William F. Johnston, and stated to US
that if Johnston was candidate for Governor
in Maryland, holding the same opinions on the
slavery question as he did la this State, he could
not receive ten votes in Carroll county. Col.
f. is a gentleman of standing and high respec-
liability of fine address and noble qualities of
to the democratic ranks where he can battle man
fully for the rights of the States and the Union
Of the States.

william Searight.

Now that our national candidates are in the
field, and with a magnanimity and enthusiasm,
we might say unequalled it behooves to
buckle on our armor, and go into to the contest
with certainty of success for the gallant Pierce,
the statesmen King, and the kind J1s-
sineSs man, William Searight. There is no mod
times in the history of Conventions, that
they have come TO conclusions so satisfactory to
the democracy of Pennsylvania as that of the
Baltimore Convention" and the Harrisburg
convention. The democracy of the old ''Key-
stone of the federal arch,' will roll up her old
fashioned majority for the whole democratic
ticket, State, and National. And indeed why
should she not? she had her preference for the
Presidency, to her son, but she could not be dis
satisfied with his successful competitor-and it
is of him we shall hereafter speak during this
campaign for the Presidency Franklin Pierce
to be endorsed by national convention is no
small triumph for any man, but to be done in
the manner it was makes it still more graceful
and pleasing. And indeed, there is no man in
the union deserves it more than he does To
quote the words of his competitor General Scott
he is a gentleman and a soldier" and also calls
it does not require the endorsement of a whig
for his character, he previously endorsed
by the lamented Polk, and by his own acts both
civil and military, which have become embodied
in the history of our country. In the national
house of our councils, and in the hard fought
contests, Of the war of n tropical climate, his
name is recorded, honored and revered. The
Pennsylvania democracy were asking with great
unanimity to unite Mr.. King, the present Vice
President, with her own favorite son, JAMES BU-
cHANAY. to occupy the same position, which is a
sufficient guarantee that his nomination is plea
sing to them particularly.
William Searight, whose name heads this ar
ticle had been spoken Of before, by his friends,
who knew him intimately, and afterwards when
his character, and business capacity became bet
ter known, he could have no successful compet-
tor in this State a candidate for the Office
of Canal Commissioner. He is man of un-
obtrusive manners and habits but when he is
known there is deserves more to be an
preciated. Then, fellow democrats our duty
in this campaign is plain one, and easily un
derstood. We go into the contest as a unit, un-
divided and unconquerable. Let us therefore
from this time to the campaign is over, do our
whole duty for those upright and honorable
names, who have been fairly placed before us,
as the standard bearers Of the democracy of our
union, and commonwealth, and victory un-
doubtedly will perch upon that standard as light
proceeds from the sun, or the shadow follows
the substance.
We will hereafter speak at length of the at
tainments and character of each of these candi-
dates, but it was due to our own state nominee
to put his name in connection with the national
candidates as soon as possible before our read
ers

The Delegate Elections.

On Saturday next delegates from each borough
and township will be elected to meet in Conven-
ton and nominate county ticket On this subject
we have a few words to say. A fair and honor
able competition at the delegate elections be-
tween the friends of one candidate and those of
another, is matter with which no man can find
Just cause of complaint and cannot with propri-
etv be condemned. The action of the people at
such elections should be equally binding upon
all. How often, however, have we seen 1t other
wise. The combinations and means used at the
primary elections to defeat the nomination of
aspirants for Office often have returned with ten
fold fury on the nominees and caused defeat and
distraction at the general election. This thing
should stop. If gentlemen will submit their
names to the people candidates for office, and
the voice of the people at the delegate elections
be against their pretentions, the true democrat
ic doctrine requires submission from them to
the popular voice, provided everything is done
in a fair and honorable manner. The impor-
tance of the approaching campaign-the trium-
phant success of our candidates for the Presi-
dency and Vice Presidency, well as for the
Supreme Bench, office of Canal Commissioner,
Legislature, &c.,-the re-establish Of democrat
ic principles as anecessary motive power to pro-
pei the government in its true course, all de
mand that there should be Union and Harmony
at the outset, Manifest, then, some disposition
to do great deal for the good of the party
exhibit desire to defeat the common enemy by
making Just compromise of the various con-
iicting interests at home-be willing to concede
at all times to one another your feelings for men
make no rash or ill-timed assertions-but,
when the nominations are heralded forth, your
alta chment to those principles which they as
your chosen representatives are intended TO car
ry out, will stimulate you to a firm, unwavering
and unceasing support for their success.

Democratic Ratification Meeting i'm Al
! bany.

ALBANY, JUNE u.
The Democracy of this city held n meeting
last evening in the Park, in front of the Capitol,
to respond to the nomination of Pierce and
King.
Ex-Governor Marcy called to preside, as
sisted by several Vice Presidents.
On taking the chair, Mr.. Marcy made brief
speech, in which he declared himself extremely
well gratifed with the result of the deliberations
of the Baltimore Convention. He said, that
from what he had observed, the party through
out the country united upon those nominees,
and he trusted their election would be secured,
thereby restoring the government to Democratic
hands. The Ex-Governor was loudly cheered
at the conclusion of his address.
The speakers were John Van Buren, of New
York b. F. Hallet, of Boston; II B. Stanton,
Horace Seymour, and others, of this state.
Resolutions read by r. w. Peckham,
strongly endorsing the candidates and the plat
form laid down by the Baltimore Convention
They were unanimously adopted, and with much
enthusiasm.
The meeting was one of the largest and most
enthusiastic of any held here since the days OF
Gen. Jackson.
The booming of cannon, the illuminations in
varions parts of the city, the bands of music, all
gave evidence that the Democracy here are firm

Editor Loudon Free Press

Dear Sir: Having
been appointed by the authorities ofthe Amori-
can Colonization Society, the Agent for the
State of Tennessee, in commencing the duties
of my agency, l desire and devoutly solicit the
cooperation of the Press of the country in that
truly benevolent enterprise
The condition of the free people Of eoler in
the State, the relation we sustain to them, and
the success and prosperity of the Liberian Gov
eminent with its advantages inviting them hith.
er, should prompt patriotic and christian peo-
pie to interest themselves in behalf of this de-
graded people. The soundest heads and purest
hearts OF the country, are, many of them, identi-
fed with this enterprise; and may not hope
that the press generally will take hold OF the
subject and wake up the commonwealth in it's
behalf. Its ultimatum must be, as is already
demonstrated, the extension of christianity, civil
ization and republican liberty in Afric2.
1t IS my purpose to canvass the State during
the year so far as my health and circumstances
will allow; and, indeed, hope to make my VISIT
pretty general. C. D. SMITH.
