BURR OAK, Mich, Oct. 20. Is:


To the Editor Of the National Era:
1t this reaches you in season, you will confer
a favor on us in this section by giving us the
argument in favor of the action Of our member
of Congress on the Dunn bill. Senator Cass
says it was such Slavery instrument he could
not support it. This is the great monster of
iniquity the sham Democracy rage and howl
about in this State.
l conceive the bill to be Objectionable and
if there is any good reason for supporting it. I
would like your views on the subject If YOU
think 1t advisable. Respectfully, yours,
e. <. KlRBE.
Mr.. Kibbe will find a full exposition of this
bill, and the reasons for its support, in the Era
OF Thursday, October 10TH
Will our Southern readers please notice the
incidental disclosure in the foregoing note, of
the Anti-Slavery zeal of General Cass. Dumas
bill tor the restoration of the Missouri Compro.
mise, and the abolition of the spurious slave
code of Kansas, was after all so Pro. Slaseyv q
measure, he could not support it This reye.
lation will show the Southern Democracy BY
what arguments the Northern Democracy has
been carrying on the cauvass.-Ed. Era.

Mr.. CONWAY, Pastor of the Unitarian Church
In this city, is now in Cincinnati for the pur.
pose of temporarily supplying the Unitarian
pulpit IN that city. BY The action of meeting,
whose eonstitutionaity, we believe, is question
ed, has relation As pastor here was dissolved :
"a reconsideration OF the measure WAS moved,
and the matter is not yet deiinitively settled.
His independent aud decisive course on the
question Of Slavery, in its moral aud political
bearings, has displeased many Of the congre-
cation, while others sustain him.

The responsibility for its passage was thus
pretty equally divided but for bringing for
ward the measure and engineering it, an Ad.
ministration man (Mr. ORR bears the chief
| responsibility.
The bill as amended went back to the Sen
ate same day (l5th) where debate took place,
turning upon the question, not whether the
| bill should be passed, but whether it should be
amended, so as to exclude the present Congress
from its benefits. The Republican members
took no part in the debate, as they had taken
no part in the initiation of the measure.
Mr.. Pugh administration moved to strike
out the section applying the bill to the present
Congress, and Administration men spoke on
both sides Of the question. The motion was
lost, az follows,

The conclusion of the whole matter is, that
the movement originated with Administration
men, but the votes were so arranged as to dis

hes-the Democratic and American, however
having little more than their proportion.
No Buchanan man can Ettempt to use this
measure against the Republicans, without groas
dishonesty and meanness. !,

THE ALLIANCE OF THE BUCHANAN AND
FILLMORE PARTIES

From the beginning Of this Presidential can
vass, there has been one point Of sympathy be-
tween the Buchanan and Fillmore men-decp
hostility to Republicanism, its principles, and
candidate. The result has been, frequent CO.
operation between them for it's defeat. They
have wsrred, not so much upon each other, as
upon Fremont. The FILLMORE men, knowing
that the election Of thsir candidate is utterly
impossible, that either Buchanan or Fremont
mus. be our next President, that their action
must promote the chances of the former, and
il the only circumstance that threatens the de.
feat Of the latter, have not only persisted in
their independent organization. fact which
proves that they consider 1t OF far more i'm
portance than the election Of Fremont, but
have directed their efforts chiefly against the
Republicans, fact which shows that Hey are
more hostile 10 their sncceSs than HSt Of The
Democrats. Had they simply kept up their
organization, on the ground that they deemed
IT more consistent with their peculiar princi-
plies, and more important 10 the public welfare,
than the success of either Of the great Parties,
maniiesiirg equal opposition to both, we should
have arraigned their policy as unwise and
nisehievous, but We might have given them
credit for their independence and impartiality.
Their course has been precisely the reverse.
Fremont, not buchanan, has been the subject
of their constant denunciation; Republican
ism, not Democracy, the object of their most
bitter assaults. From reading their newspaper
diatribes and stump harangues, You would
naturally suppose that the main purpose of
the organization is TO defeat Fremont, TO prt
Black Republcanism," not merely to
= up their own Party.
