l5N An Important Letter.
We Invite attention to the following letter of the
Hon. Charles N. Conrad, Of Louisians, formerly
United States Senator from that State, and more
recently Secretary Of the War Department at
Washington. Mr. Conrad 10 an old-fAahionsd
National Whig, and speaks the language not only
ofa national statesman, but true American. His
letter deserves the careful psrusAl and serious con.
sideration Of all good and patriotic men:
WAsHIHarox, Oct. "A, 1855. n
DEAR SIR: ind 1t viii be out OF nv power to
fu6l the promise / made you, q short time since.
to address the citizens Of Philadsphia on tho sub.
ject of the approaching election.
cannot much regret this inability, as find
that the friends Of Mr.. Fillmore in Pennsylvania
have determined on the very course should have
strenuously urged upon them to pursue in refusing
to. coalesce with the supporters Of COL Fremont.
cannot perceive how they could, with the least
show Of consistency, have pursued any other
course. The difference between you and them, is
one Of principle. Your aims are eminently ma
tional and conservative; your political horizon
embraces the whole Union, and your candidate
may justly claim the support of Wise and patriotic
men in every part Of our common country They,
on the contrary, are running RectiOual candidate
on sectional grounds, and for sectional purposes
ard while protesting an ardent attachment % the
Union, they pursue course which, If 1t does not
lead to its immediate dissolution, manfestly tends.
at no distant time, to bring about that event
For, Dc. not deceive yourselE--do not suppose,
for an instant that all this noise and clamorthis
vast expenditure Of money and eloquence in arous-
ing popular indignation at the North against the
Southern people and their institutions, have only
In view the preservation of Kansas from the do
minion Of slavery. This answers very well as q
bugbear to frighten old women, and persons as
credulous as old women but any intelligent man
among them knows there Ia about "a much probe
bility OF slavery taking root in Kansas a In Massar
chusetts or Vermont They know that the course
OF slavery emigration, like the course of trade, Is
governed BY considerations o private interest, and
that their owners can no more think Of CARRYING
them from States where cotton and sugar, Ice ce
and tobacco are cultivated, to Kansas, than Phil
adelphia merchant would think Of shippinga cargo
OF Ice to st. Petersburgb, or Of coal to Calsuts.
No, it is not against slavery In Z Territory,
where 1t can never prominently exist, but against
slavery in the States, whore ii is already establsh
ed, that all these mighty efortsare directed Does
any one doubt this Look at the leaders Of the
so-called Republican party. Who are theys With
scarcely single exception, they ere the samc men
who, for years past, have been the recornised
leaders OF the antielavery movementsin this coun-
try. Ahilisting DOW with the one, now with the
other of the two great political parties, always en-
barrassing both in the hour Of battle, but always
clamoious for the spoils in the hour Of victory

measures Of 1850; the same men Who, disguised
as Wings, entered the convention Of 1862 and de-

things, insinuated themselves into their councils
and lodges, and, whenever they failed to make
them subservient to their ends, betrayed and de-

The repeal of the Missouri Compromise was
perfect God-send to them. It at once raised them
from a contemplate faction to q political party.
That that repeal, granting II to be theoretically
correct, was rash inconaderate and unstatesman-
like measure, there can be no doubt But what Of
the act Because one party in the State has COM
mtted blunder, ia another party justified in COM
mitting crimef Because Congress saw ct to al
low the people Of Kansas to regulate their domes-
tic affairs as they should think proper Il that such
an outrageous wrong on the people Of the United
States as would justify them in making an univer-

so-called Republican party 10 laboring TO persuade
them to dot And mark you the very man who
are loudest in denouncing this repeal a the voa.
ton Of a"sacred compact" denounced this COM
pact when Il was in force, and repudiated ts obli-
cations.
Such being the object Of the men who have
dragged Col. Fremont from his obscurity, and
made him their candidate for the Presidency, what
right have they to expect Mr. Fillmore and bis
friends to aid in their accomplishment In fact,
Mr. Fillmore has nowhere more implacable enc.
mics than these same men, They everywhere
vilhfy and tzadncs him. Bad - they represent
Mr. Buchanan to be, they describe Mr.. rlmors
to be Just 30 much worse - avof In sleeps
clothing is more dangerous 10 the flock than the
same animal in bis natural hAbIliments. II, In
your s4te, they have pursued more conciIIAtory
course, II was simply because In your STATE they
required your assistance. They now propoea to
you to frsternixs, and talk about q come en-
emys and "A common causs." II you h41b Z
common cause, then let them promote that canse
BY voting for your candidate. Ifthsy are sircere
in their prstsSpna ssch course would involve
NO Inconsistency on their part
Instead Of this what b II they proposeS In
effect, that the friends Of Fillmore and Frement
should play game OF chess for the vote of Penn
ylvanla, the winner to pocket the atAkes.
