whether slavery shall exist within the Terrific
ryf This is Mr.. Buchanan's position, and he
takes this position, standing on the Cincinnati
platform. He CONSTITUTES that pl stform precisely
as Cass and Douglas construc it, and he main
tains and enforces this "squatter sovereignty"
principle.
This principle, (ssys Mr.. Buchanan will not
be controverted by any individual, of any party,
protesting devotion TO popular government"

government" when under the restraints and
limitations ofthc constitution, AS any man living,
but we do not profess any sort of devotion to
the doctrine, that the first few hundred squdt-

citizens of either section Of the Union, or their
property, from the Territories, and in this,
we differ widely from Mr.. Buchanan IN "devo-

The American platform contains no such
doctrine as this; it contains the doctrine Of
State equality, but IL does not place the first
few hundred, or few thousand " Squatters " in
a Territory, upon an equality win the citizens

believing that the doctrine of the Divine
authority of the Bible is one of the greatest
hindrances to its mprovement-and belleV-
ing further, that this doctrine has no foun-
dation in truth, and that a fair and thor
ouph investigation would lead to its speedy
and general abandonment, invite all, in
whatever part of the world they may dwell,
who feel an interest in the matter, to meet
us in New York in May next, and to adopt
such measures as may be calculated to
spread through the world what may appear
to be the truth on this important subject.
The alleged evidences of the Divine au-
thority of the Bible will, as far as practical
BILE, be examined in the order in which they
are presented in the works most approved
in the leadil.- religious denominations, and
most frequently referred to as authorities
bv advocates of the common faith. Such
arrangements will be made with regard to
speakers as may appear best calculated to
secure a correct exposition and thorough
discussion of every branch OF the SUBJECT.
To secure the order and efficiency of the
convention, it is required that all who con-
template taking an active part in the discus
sion, will please apply to the Committee OF
Arrangements, accompanying their appI-
cation with suitable reference as to charac-
ter and talents, and, in case they are oele-
gated by churches, or by hDeral assocld-
tons, with certificates of their delegation.
The discussions will take up the torenoons
! and afternoons. The evenings will be Civ
en- to lectures and addresses.

Our readers, says the Fayetteville OBJ
server, will doubtless remember that Mr.
Fuller, of Penn, one of the candidates for
Speaker, was supported by Southern men
ON the supposition that he was sound on
the Southern question. All his antecedents
were adverse; but he managed (while
aiming to be Speaker) to wheedle the South
into belief of his friendliness. The follow
ing letter written by him on the 18th of
August, 1849, will show what sort of man
he iss
''You state in your letter that the free
sellers will hold convention at Hyde Park
on the Both inst. There is pretty strong
probability of my being in the field for canal
commissioner, and it would certainly aid my
prospects very materially to receive a
nomination from your party. | am in favor
of free soil, free speech, free labor, and free
men, being Wilmot-proviso man up to the
hub, and utterl y opposed to the extension
of slavery.
The matter will require prudent manage
ment, and | know of no man who can ac
complish it better than yourself. 1t would
be bad policy to attempt it without a GER
tainty of success. If done, it would be as
we'll done by the adoption of a resolution,
&c, which you will understand how to pre-
pare. Consult with our mutual friends,
Hackley and johnson, and write me soon.
Yours, truly,

in regard to Mr.. Fuller's Nationality" and
soundness on the Southern question:
