Letter from James Buchanan, Esq,
WHEATLAND, NEAR LANCASTER, Pa,
Nav Oh 1870

May "a, 1852
RoBr. G. SCOTT, Esq.-Sr: l have received
your communication of the 18th instant, asking
me whether, in case of my nomination and cleo
ton to the Presidency, would, in the admins
tratlon OF the government sustain and enforce
the various acts of Congress, constituting what
is known as the Compromise, and ESPECIALLY
the enactments of thaat law, relating to the re-
capture by their owners, of fugitive slaves ?''
And, also, whether 'would dscountenance
by every proper means, all attempts to disturb
or change the provisions of that law, whereby
those provisions might be made less effectual, for
securing to the people of the South their consti-
tutonal rights in the possession and enjoyment of
their slave property 2"
And again, whether, ''should unfortunately a
bill be passed by Congress, modifying or chang
ing the law referred to, to impair it's present
valuable enactments, would l, (you) as President
of the Republic, veto any such bill o.
These three several questions, answer, with
out the slightest hesitation in the Affirmative
In thus answering Ito repeat the language OF my
Richmond letter of February last,) II purposely
refrain from discussing the original merits of the
compromise, because | consider it, to employ the
expressive language of the day, as a flnality,
a fixed fact, most. Important enactment of
law, the agitation or disturbance of which could
do no possible good, but might produce much
positive evil. Our noble vessel of State, freight
sent and future generations, has passed thr ,ugh
the most dangerous breakers which she has ever
encountered, and as trumphantly ridden out the
storm. Both those who supported the measures
of the compromise as just and necessary, and
those who regarding them in a different light
yet acquesce in them for the sake of the Union,
have arrived at the same concusion-that thrust
and shall be executed They have thus, for eve
ry practical purpose, adopted the same platform,
and have resolved sustain it against the COM
mon enemy. Why then should they wrangle and
divide and waste their energies, not respecting
the main question, which has already been defin-
itive settled, but in regard to the process which
has brought them, though from different direc-
tions to the same conclusion? Above all, why
should the strength of the Democratic party Of
the country be impaired and its ascendancy ieop-
arded for any such causes We who believe that
the triumph of Democratic principles is essential
not only to the prosperity of the Union, but even
to the preservation of the Constitution, ought re-
ciprocally to forget, and, if need be, to forgive
the past, and cordially unite with our political
brethren in sustaining for the future the good old
cause of Democracy. 1t must be source of

Another striking feature in this denouenaent is
the charlottesville easy appearance and
specific entire freedom from concert, of these
questions and replies On the 18th of May, Mr..
Scott sits down here in Richmond to settle for
ever this great and disturbing question which has
so sadly and seriously agitated the country" by
addressing his circular to ''the hirteen.' Six an
swers within three days (al dated the 2Oth,) from
Washington two more on the 2lst, and all the rest
by the 25thco to this interesting enquiry, while
publication OF the matter of the answers in the
New 7 ork Herald even before Mr. Scott received
his letters, gives farther and conclusive evidence
of the spontaneous and unprecedented nature of
this burst of patriotic enthusiasm and devotion-
Now, if this movement OF the liable and devoted
Democrat who made it, has been fruitful of good
and will Justly win for Mr. Scott the thanks of ev
cry true Democrat in the land, be it so. We wish
that gentleman no harm, but if he or the Enquirer
expects that the extempore air put upon this coup
de theatre will deceive any who not willingly
blind or will palliate i'll the least the meditated
dodge of the slave question at Baltimore, then we
beg leave to tell them they are fatally mistaken
There is some limit, believe us, gentlemen, to hui
man gullibility-some extremes in popular delu-
sion, to which not even past experience will just-
fly an approach.
We may recur to this topic.

Brigham Young. the Governor of Utah, has
about fifty wives, and among them two sisters
Heber c. kemble and William Richards also
have harems of women, from ten to thirty. In
fact, all of the leading men in the Mormon church
have from two to ten. There are several instan-
ces where men have married widows who have
daughters, and now have the mother and daugh-
ter as wives. Heber G, Kembe has a mother
and daughter; A. NJ. Turpin has mother and
daughter; C. E. Bolton has mother and daugh-
ter; also John Taylor In fact, all the head men
have more or less-it is more unusualto see a
family with but one wife, than to see one with
from two to ten. Yet their preachers over the
country, deny it in the most positive terms. To
look at Mormouism as it is, one would think that
if there was any system in the wide world that
has been gotten up and propogated by the devil,
it is that OF the people called Latter Day Saints

TAe Revolutionary hOvement IN Cubas
We bays received for publication, and present to
our readers This morning, manifesto addressed to
the people Of the United States, by General An
hrosio Josc Gonzales the head and chief director Of
the Cuban movement in this country 1t is . long,
fervid, eloquent, and comprehensive diges. Of the
causes Sor aisaHession which exist in that unior-
tunnte, i'll governed Island and concludes with an
appeal to the synpstby and aid Of the American
people. IL win be read by all classes Of the CON-
mLniiy with deep interest," and its sentiments will
undoubtedly find responsive chord in the bosom Of
every free, noble, and enig htened person in this
great republic In connection with this dooument,
We have procured list Of the ,ynpathssrs Of rank
ana position in the Southern States, who are sup
posed to be thoroughly enlisted in The cause Of
Cuban emancipation. We subjoin few of the
names ofsuob perscns- judges, generals,
slsrg. men, merchants, and Others of note and dis
ainoton-which win serve to give An idea Of the
extent and importance Of Abe movement in this
country Here it is:-

~ donnatisn from its bosom.
TIE present IL, therefore, very critical and i'm
portant turning point in the history Of the 'Gsm Of
tAe Antilles" Cuba presents, in .oms respects, .
parallel to Canada few years ago, previous TO the
Mackenzie excitement. Family interests, conveTg.
ing end forming narrow exclusive circle around
the government, and . sort Of political nspotism
which then existed in the North American pro-
vinces, had gradually produced state Of disoon-
tent and dsaffsction among the Canadians, which
ripened into desire for total independence Of the
nothey country. Bat the wisdom Of British states
men found remedy for this dangerous eruption.
Copciiatoyy measures were adopted, abuses re-
moved, constitutional form Of government estab-
lhed and the social and political condition Of the
solonists smeliorated. This was tho only safe
mode for ssca ping from the consequences Of pre-
yious IMPROVEMENT; and English statesmen did
not hesitate 10 adopt it, The result Of this policy il
now to be seen in the absence Of all political dis
content in Canada, except, indeed, SO Gar - re-
CARDS minor considerations Of trade between il and
the United States.
The same system Of cliquisn, though to far
greater extent has for long time past, existed in
Cuba The Captain General, appointedby the home
goyernm, mt, and invested with unlimited autho-
rity over life and laws, is surrounded by few Spa
nsh families, who dictate the policy to be adopted
on the island, and I'll all official posts with tn If own
fsyorites and dependepts-all Misunderstanding
the Creole population from every office of trust
power, and depriving them Of almost oil the rights
and privileges Of freemen. We have seen with
what beneficial results equitable and enlightened
mode Of allsying popular discomfort, under some
what similar circumstances, was adopted in Canada.
Just such remedy is the one thing needed for the
paci6cAtisn of Cuba. The garots the t,Asaade,
the dungeon, and the penal colony Of Csuta repug
nans as they are to the enlightenment of tho nine
teesth century, the only modes of loyazing the
Creoles which have hitherto guided the sang1i-
nary spirit of CASTLE The time for such barba
rous condition Of things has passed away on this
island, and unless it is superseded by eone
atory and hunanizing policy, like that pursued by
England towards Canada, the crown of Spain must,
very long, be deprived of its brightest gen. and
Cuba, erected into free and Independent State
shall its "lone STAR, now family struggling Tor
place on the political sky, minging in the bright
galaxy of stars which deck the banner Of this glo-
rious republic.
