Of Wisconsin, was nominated the other day

7s The Editor Of the Nnrs:
Dear sir,-I shall vote for John q. Ere
mont for President, il live. The use oil
my name ia the Convention a, Racine was
wholly unauthorized, without my knowi'
euge or assent, and agains, my often re-
peaied declarations TO my friends beIe ala
elsewhere, that was not only not cand''
date, bu, woud not accept The nomination
II made aud my position was 80 well
known here, when the Convention was held
that was surprised TO learn lhal Il had been
used at al! ia that Conrenlinn.
You are mlsiuIUrned, also, as to my
avowing my determination to support MT
Buchanan. |, is known 10 all thai The Po-
hey Of the present Administration. in reIa-
ton to the Territory oil Kansas, has received
nom The beginning, my un9u lifted and III
dlguani condemnation, So strong were my
feelings on the subject, that couldn't Ie-
iIain from expressing my hea. tell sails
faction that the Convention at Cincinnati
had thrown MessTs Piece aud Douglas
overheard, and had nominated u Candidate
who was fully committed 10 the wisdom Of
The Missouri Compromise, and On one SOL
emn occasion declared in his place in The
Senate, 'Thal he had Sc, his foot on The
solid stound then established, aud there he
would let The question staid forever"
That | should, upon Personal ground,
much p, crer Slr. Buchanan to either Of those
sen,lemen-oi whom canno, think with
out calling 10 mind all the Border Ruifian
oulragrs in Kansas do not deny. !
thank God the, those gentlemen, for the
violation of the pli.h'ed faith Of their ances-
tors, as well as their own, have so soon met
with jus, reward.
Soon after The nomination OF Mr.. Buchan-
AN, received all invitation from The chair
man Of one of the Democratic clubs in Mil
waukie to be present a, the presentation oil
"a Buchanan banner by the ladies', and to
speak upon that occasion. declined 10 do
50. did not, howeve', state my objections
IN writing, for publication, lest might in
iure the candidate whom might afterwards
feel i, my duty 10 support but in cOnversa-
non with that gentleman, stated to him
my rca,Uns 10, declining-,he same in sub
s,anrc a. | have stated 10 al persons with
whom | have converscJ, and without any
reserve whateyer-ihat ii Congress, as |
had reason to hope, would pass law, either
restoring the Missouri Compromise, or ad
hitting Kansas as Tree State, or repeating
the code OF the usurpcrs in Kansas, and II
Mr. Bnchguan's friends in Congress, or
enough Of them. should, by their acts, give
The county reason to hope for change in
the policy or the government OF that Terri
toly, in case be were elected, would give
him my support at his election.
When solicited by various individuals, as
the friends Of Mr. buchanan, to allow my
name to ba used as a candidate Tor Cou-
,resg from this district, have uniformly
declined upon the same grounds, as well as
upon personal considerations.
Congress has Adjourned, and no such law
was passed. can see no longer any rea'
,ouabls ground for hope o; change in the
pollcy IL the government in Kansas, II Mr..
Buchanan is elected, There is iJr me but
one alternative There is no neutrality,
The issue is, in my judgment, made up. 1t
l. whether Kansas, and the vast territories
beyond It shall become the homes, ana BE-
cultivated by Zee white men, or shall be
held by slayeholding oIIgarchy, aud cursed
BY tie labor OF negro slayes-in word,
whether it shall be- like Ohio, or Kentucky,
Iowa. OF Missouri, Wisconsin, or Arkansas.
The Giounds at my position will appear
more at length in letter addressed 10 the
Hon. +. S Lowell, which will appear in the
Sentinel. You will do me The justice to
rnssrl this bnei explanation, aud much
obiise, yOurs respectfully,
