THE CASE OF GOULD AND DU BOIS.

10 az Editor Of The N. y. T'i5vHe
SIR: In your paper of the 18th inst. you comment
with severity on the conduct of my client, DR.. Henry
A. Du Bos Of New Haven, in regard to his assault
with cowhide on Edward S. Gould of this city.
feel it my duty to say that this account Of the assault
based upon information obtained in the office OF the
District Attorney is faty contradicted by the afida-
Wits of the only parties present at the transaction
Delcacy toward the family of the complainant for
bids my client from giving that publicity TO the prev
oc ston which personally he would desire but in my
opinion fully Justified his conduct and his numerous
friends unanimously think that his character s proof
against all malicious attacks feel 1t also my duty to
state that DIR. Du Boiss recognizance was feclared
forfeited by Judge Capron while the defendant was
absent from this state at his residence in New Haven,
under formal notice from me OF a stay OF proceed
ngs and while there was in existence upon the rec
ords Of the Court unvacated order, made
by the Recorder, staying oil proceedings on
the part of the complainant until the re-
tun Of commission issued by the Court
to take the testimony of witness in France and the
defendant was entirely unaware that the prosecution
intended moving on the trial. The legality OF THIS
forfeiture is now being contested and unhesatngy
declare my conviction that it was made by Judge
Capron contrary TO all usage and practice OF the Court,
aeainst law and an unprecedented act of dscourtesy
to a Superior Judge. In regard to your comments
upon the Recorder, do not feel called upon, as the
Counsel of DIR. Du Bos, to make any remarks. He is
capable of defending himself, if any defense were
necessary. Suffice it, however, to say that 1t is gen.
erally considered good evidence OF, handed
Justice when both parties dissatisfied, which seems
TO be the present case The complainant demanded
imprisonment and my client felt persuaded that the
evidence laid before the Recorder would have caused
him to impose a nominal fine of six cents, which am
,atsed would have been its extent but for the con-
ceded feet that the defendant wealthy gentle
man. Your obedlent servant, ,,,

The true Democrat., 1856-07-29
MORNING, JULY 29, 1856.

The agitation on the question of domestic slavery has too long distracted and divided the people of this Union and alienated their affec- tions from each other. This agitation has as- sumed many forms since its commencement, but l. now seems to be directed chiefly to the terri tories; and judging from its present character l think we may safely anticipate that 1t is ra- pidly approaching inalty.'' The recent legislation of Congress respecting domestic sIa- very, derived, as it has been, from the original and pure fountain of legitimate political power the will of the majority, promises ere long to ally the dangerous excitement. This lesisla- tion is founded upon principles as ancient as free government itself, and in accordance with them, has simply declared that the people of territory, like those of state, shall decide for themselves whether slavery shall or shall not exist within their limits.
 The KansasN ebraska act does no more than give the force of law to this elementary prnci- pie of self-government, declaring it to be " the true intent and meaning of this act not to le- gslatc slavery into any territory or state, nor to exclude it thercfrom; but to leave the people thereof perfectly free to form and regulate their domestic insttutiHns in their own way, subject only to the constitution of thcs United States This principle will surely not be controverted by any individual of any party protesting de- votion to popular government. Besides, how vain and illusory would any other ciple prove in practice in regard to the territories. This is apparent from the fact admitted by all, that after territory shall have entered the Union, and become state, no constitutional power would then exist which could prevent it from either abolishing or establishing slavery, as the case may be, according to its sovereign will and pleasure"
 Such is an outline of the record of James Buchanan-full, clear, conservative and consist ent. He has stood in the breach and fought for 20 years in defence of the constitutional rights of the south against fauaticism in all its forms. We invite all fair and unprejudiced men to its investigation, and we suggest to our neighbor of the Observer & Reporter that if lie intends to prove Mir. Buchanan either an abotionist or freesoiler he had better be up and a-doing, for he has undertaken task which it will re- quire all his tact and ingenuity, from now till November, to perform. If he declines it, we hope he will have the candor to acknowledge his inability to do so, and disabusc the minds ot his readers.
