james VI. QOarl"s.-New Points in the
Canvas.

CLARHsvILLE, Aug. %.
EDS PArRIor-Our Elector for this District,
James NJ. Quarles, is making glorious campaign.
lie is better posted on Buchanan's record than any
man have yet heard. Ii is needless to say that
he is an overmatch for his OmpetitOr-every body
knows it, and the democrats feel il though they do
not, of course, acknowledge it. The only regret
we have about the canvass between them is that
Poinde1ter is not the sort OF man TO force Quares
to exert all his powers. AZ il is the canvass has
been a series Of decided triumphs for Quarles. But
write more particularly to cell your attention to
some NEw points made by him to-day. Ia noticing
his competitors alIusion to Fiilmore's vote on
opening diplomatic negotiations with Hayti, be
spiked that big gun OF the democratic orators by
sho ing from the records that James Buchanan on
he 18th Aug 1888. presented petition to the
U. S. Senate asking for the appointment Of dpo
matte agent for Hayti aud the establishment OF
commercial relations with that Republic. Here
is copy of the record:
'Mr Buchanan also presented a petition from
certain citizens from the District Of Columbia pray
ing that diplomatic agent may be sent TO Hayti
and commercial relations entered into with that
Republic. Laid on the table, Con. Globe, 2Rd
Session 25th Congress, p 457.
In brief letter as intended this to be, shall
not attempt to describe the effect on the crowd of
this little extract from the records Il takes all the
wind out Of the democratic sails.
There Is one other point that Mr.. Qusrles
made TO-DAY which think is a strong one The
Resolutions OF '9s and 80 aud the Compromise
Measures OF 1880, are endorsed by the Cincinnati
Platform, aud yet the second Kentucky resolution
declares all laws passed by Congress defining and
furnishing crimes not mentioned 10 the CoDsiitu
(tion are null and void, while the Compromise Of
1850 declares il to be a crime TO rescue or aid a
fugitive slave in escaping from his MASTER which is
e crime not mentioned or defined in The COustitn-
ton. Now which is the true democratic faith asks
Mr.. QuArles. The Compromise Of 1880 is inconsist
With the resolutions Of 'SS aud 90, they cannot
stand together which Is to fall! That is poser
il can't be answered, and have not heard any
body attempt It. % this point Mr.. Quarles shows
up the rcAchery aud hypocrisy Of the democratic
party in such a way that they can't help looking
mean.
