Nj DEAR SIR | congratulate You on the
nomination of your fsvorlte candid .Fe for the
Presidency.
Ii the nomination of Mr.. Buchanan was
acceptable to me at first It Is still more so
now. since | have seen him and heard linn
speak The Committee. of which WAS ous.
waited on him a. his residence TO give him
formal and official notice of his nomination
and in the name Of tie National Democracy
to request his acceptance OF 1t. We found
him open frank and wholly undisguised n
the expression OF his sentiments. Mr.. Bu-
chanan said, in the presence OF ail who had
assembleI-and they were from the North
and South, the Eaot and the Nest-that he
stood upon the Cincinnati Platform and en-
dorsed every part Of il Il wa explicit in
his remarks It's Slavery features. saying
that the Slavery issue was the absorbing ele-
fullest extent the overshaiowng importance
Of that ISSUE aud il elected, he would make
it ..the great aim OF his Administration TO
settle the q .esiion upon such terms as should
give peace and safety to the Union, and
curity to the South He spoke In terms OF
decided commentator OF the Kansas bill,
and as pointedly deprecated the unworthy ef
forts Of the sectional agitation TO get up
national conflagration OF that question. AT
ter the passage of the Compromise measures
Of 1885. the Kansas bill was. he said, neces-
sarv to harmonic our legislation in refer
ence to the territories, and he expressed his
surprise thai there should appear anywhere
an organized opposition to the Kansas bill after
the general acqulescence which the whole
country had expressed in the measure Of
1859.
Alter thus speaking Of ktnsa, and the
slavery issues. Mr.. Buchanan passed TO Our
foreirn policy lie approved in general
terms Of the Cincinnati resolutions this
subject" But said that while enforcing our
own policy. W. mus: a all times scrupulously
rorarl the Just rights aad proper policy Of
other nations He was not opposed to terri
torjal extension. All our acquisitions had
been fairly ani hoaorabiv made. "Our ne
cessitv mi sht require rs - make other ac lul-
.itions. He resaIied the acquisition Of Caba
as very desirable naw, and Il was likely 10 be
come a national necessity. Whenever We
could obtain the Island On fair, honorable
terms, he was for taxing i. Blt. ne aided.
it will be, terrible necessity that would IN
d1ce me- - sanction any movement that would
bring re2roach upon us. or tarnlsh the honor
and glory Of our beloved country.
After he formal interview over, Nr.
Blehqnan said pIayfllIy but in The presence
Of Ii. whole audienc If | can be lnstru-
nen.al in settling the slavery question upon
the terms have named, and thsn add Cuba
10 he Union, I shall. If President be willing
t5 give up the gho~t and let Breekinridge
taI,o the & 9vernnsnt'' Gould there be
more noble ambition" You may we'll be
p-a1i Of vo1r early choice Of a can1lda'e,

ever moved you an inch from your stern pur-
pose of giving the great Pennsylvania
