lowing Letter from Ex-Gov AARON Y.
Brown, Of Tenn, to s. X. ADAMS, a
notorious Southern Nullilier:
WAsHINGroS Cry, June Is, 1856
My DEAR SIR Il congratulate you on the
nomination of your favorite candidate for
the Presidency.
If the nomination Of Mr.. Buchanan was ac-
ceptable TO me al first, il is StIll more SO now
since | have seen him and heard him
speak.-The Committee, of which | was one,
waited on him al his residence TO give him
formal and official notice Of his nomination,
aad in the name Of the national democracy
10 request his acceptance of II. We found
him open, frank, and wholly undisgUised in
the expression Of his sentiments. Mr.. Bu-
chanan said. in the presence Of all who had
assembled, and they were from the North
and the South, the East and the West, that he
sfooi upon the Cincinnati piqtf5rH GHd cniors-
ed erery part Of H-Re ,raS erpEci IN his re-
marks upon lis slGrery features, sagiag tint the
s!ursry ISSUE raS The absorbing 6kH4ent IN the
canrass He recognized 10 its fullest extent
the overshadowing Importance of HGt issue,
and if elected, he would make II the great aim
IF his administration To settle the question
upon such terms as should give peace and
safety to the Union, and security 10 the South.
lie spoke in terms Of 9ecided commendaiion of
the Kansas JiH and poin,edly deprecated the
un,cOjhy cGoTts of sectional agitation to get
up a national confagration on that subject.
After the passage Of the compromise mea-
sureS Of 1880. the Kansas bill was, he said.
NECESSARY TO harmonic our legislaiio on
in reference TO the Territories. and he ex-
pressed his surprise that there should appear
anywhere an organized opposition to the Kan
sas bill, after the general acqmeScence which
the whole country had expressed IN the mea-
sures Of 1850.
Aiter-thuS speaking of Kansas and the
-.-sTery issue, MIR. Buchanan passed 10 our
foreign policy. He Gppr0rsd IN general terms
Of the Cincinnati resoiytionS on This subject.
But said that while enforcing cur own policy
we must at all times Scrupulousiy regard the
just rights and proper policy of other nations.
He was not opposed TO territorial extension.
/ All our acquisitions had been fairly and hon
! orabiy made. Our necessities niigh REQUIRE Z
US 70 mnte other acquisitions. He regarded the
/ acquisition If Cuba as rery dssrd5te no,r. and
! Il 'gas hkeiy 10 become a national Necessity
Whenever we could obtain the island on
/ fair, honorable terms, he was for taking it
I But, he added. ii will be a terrible necessity
/ that would induce me 10 sanction any move
/ ment that would bring rcproach upon us, or
/ tarnsh the honor and glory Of our beloved
country.
After the formal interview was over, Mr..
Buchanan said plavfulIy, hrt in the presence
of the whole audience, If can be nstru-
mental IN settling the siarery question upon the
terms hare mention6d. and fte1 add Cubq to
The Union, l shall, # President. Be ,riAiag 70
/ gire up the ghost and let Breckenridge take the
goreynn,ert" Could there be a more no5h
( Gmbitiont You may well be proud OF your
i early choice of candidate, and congratulate
/ yourself that no adverse influences ever
I moved You an inch from your stern purpose
/ of giving the great Pennsylvania a steady
! earnest and cordial support. In my judgment
/ he is as ,corihy Of Souttrn copfd,nce and
+ Southern roies as Mr.. Criit0i,n err trns and
IN saving this do not mean TO intimate that
Mr.. Buchanan has any sectional prediudices
in our favor. only mean to say that he has
none against US, aud that we may rely with
. absolute certainty on receiving full justice
according TO the Constitution, at his hands.
Knowing your long, labCriouS and faithful
! adherence 10 the fortunes of Mr. Buchanan
| have thought 1t proper 10 address you this
letter. TO give you assurance that you had no;
niistakei y0tr man. nor failed in the perform
ance of sacred and flIal duty To THE
SOUIH.-In doing so Ivlola,e no confidence
Very truly, your friend,
\. e. BROWN.
To Hon. S. X. AD,ss
Mr. Buchanan is fully committed, not only
TO the general home policy Of the Cincinnati
Convention, but 10 every part and particle o
The filbuStertng branch OF that platform, with
the Ostend manifesto annexcd.-That robber
manifesto declares that, should Spain refuse
TO sell Cuba, and should we consider the is
land necessary to our safety, " Then, By euer,
lar, human and dirias, ne ahqH be justified IN
,oresiingh from Spain, if ,ce possess The power.
Mr.. Buchanan said TO Mr. Brown, in accept
ing the Cincinnati nomination, that our ne
cesSItieS might require us to make other ac
quisitonS,' and that he considered the ac
. QUESTION Of Cuba as very desirable now, ant
it was likely TO become national necessity
Just 50: nothing more likely, with the .raAs
fer of Mr. Buchanan TO the " hite House
and the installation of MeSSrs. Forney, san
