PROFESSOR SIILIMAN AND THE PRESIDENT
LETTER

Saving tho pettish remarks of the ultra black-re-
publican press the answer of President Buchanan to
the "forty clergymen of Connecticut is everywhere
received with the heartiest approval SO deep and
wide is the feeling of condemnation towards these
erend dictators that not at all surprised that
Professor Siman himself should manifest anxiety
to be relieved from portion of the responsibility of
what the whole country regards as something more
offensive than imprudent intervention. The follow
ing letter appears in the New York Tribune Of last
Saturdays issue:
10 he Editor of ae Nsae York Tribune.
SIR In your paper of this day, September g. letter
from Washington, dated September 2, mentions ''the
mortal of Professor Sliman and Others addressed to the
President of the United States.
have to state that heard of this paper
until it presented to for my signature and add
ed my TO the list of my respected citizens
every American citizen has the right to protest against
any act of the of his country which he disap
proves.
have not changed my opinion, but have claim to
tho pre-cminence assigned me by the public prints
Yours, respectfully. Is. SILllMAN.
1t will be observed that not until after the publ
cation of the correspondence and not until after the
crushing effects Of the Presidents unanswerable
letter had been discovered was the disclaimer put
forth Before the correspondence was published,
the authorship of the memorial was widely and pub
Iicly attributed to Professor Sliman OF this fact
Professor S. could not have been unaware; and he
appears to have been quite willing to enjoy the hon
of paternity up to the period whom it became APP
paront to all that very disagreeable reputation
likely to follow the public exposure of what he
would now have the country believe is the child of
many fathers. But still the Professors halfway
of repentance, but Of feeling which, if carefully
cultured, may render him more sensitive to the OBJ
of the propreties of life, to say nothing of
the duties of good citizen and good Christian
Another such memorial and another such
swer may even lead the venerable Professor to doubt
the Christianizing effects of Shapes worldwide
known patent for We cannot believe that all the
members of the rifle brigade of the notorious North
Church Of New Haven are beyond reclamation, even
in the face of the following declaration from the New
York Tribune:
Among the bankruptcies of day the moral in
solyencies of clcrgymen seem almost frequent and
quite as deplorabc any other Making due allowance
for the rapid growth of country and the perfect
collection and diffusion of intelligence 1t is still evident
that the number of clerical culps is greater than
before"
AS the Tribune's spiritual associations almost
wholly confined to the political priests of New York
and New England, it is fair to suppose that its re-
marks were intended for sectional and not national
application.

POLITICAL PARTIES IN KANSAS.

The true way Of understanding things is to look
at them practically. The mode of ascertainng tho
present position Of affairs is to scrutinize them as
tLoy exist Those who desire to understand politi-
cal matters in Kansas should survey things there as
they now exist and not through tho fabulous era, or
as represented in the clectioneerng Kaleidoscope Of
paid agitators or slavish political hirelngs by whom
soever employed. Those who do 80 will find IN
Kansas but two political parties-the old democratic
and the pure back-republcan. The former IS iden-
teal with the organization known democratic from
Jefcrson's election, in 1900, to the present time
The latter is the representative of every party OPP
posed to the democracy from 1900 to 1857, whether
known as pcaccparty men, wings, ant-MasohS'
know-nothings or black republicans and the new or
eanization called the 'plunder party embracing
the surviving elements Of them all. All eiors
to form other parties there have most emphau
cally failed There exist no such organizations
as pro-slavory and anti-sayery party. Inc
two which do exist are distinctly known as dem
ocratic and black republican, anti-democratic'
The latter combines every ism that is unlavor-
able to the democracy. There is not poliuca'
heresy known TO the vagaries Of political! absuroY
which is not represented by the opposition in Nan
sas. They have in turn, justified treason, murder
arson, and robbery and their leaders assume merit
according to the extent of their Offences in commit
ting them, because they pretend to have snned |"
promote the public good-ihat is to promote the
prosperity of back-republicanism The democrats
stand upon the broad ground of the party, and are
encouraged by the brightest prospects and sronges
hopes. All our information, public and private
from Kansas gives the confident assurance that inc
democrats will triumph. The arts and contryanccS
Of the backrepublican managers. in and out OF uic
Territory. are seen, understood and fully appre'
ciated by the people, who arc firmly resolved not
further 10 conform to their selfish and wickeu
schemes We predict Chat Kansas will show hersen
thoroughly democratic, and then anticipate tha'
black republicans, in carrying out their perhdiouS
policy, will oppose her admission as State.

the black republicans of the North united oppos-
ton and alike factonsts dsunionsts, and enemies of
the democracy and the country declaring il the duty of
every citizen to sustain the constitution of the United
States the laws passed by Congress under it, and the de-
csons Of the United States Supreme Court rcpudiang
any effort to bring the State of Iowa into collision with
the general government condomnng the black -repub-
can party OF Iowa for passing law authorizing negroes

sign of placing the negro upon AN equality with the
white man regarding the State constitution just adopted
as essentially antidcmocra.c in many Of its features
proclag open hostility to each and every section Of
that instrument which contains these obnoxious provs-
ons and calling upon every true patriot to elect officers
who will take every honorable TO reform and
amend the constitution.
At the Wisconsin democratic State convention held ut
Madison the 9th and 2sth August resolutions
adopted declaring adherence to the principles mbodied
in the platform adopted by the National Democratic Con-
vcntion and reliance upon Mr. Buchanan for full
emplifcon of those principles in the administration OF
our national affairs affirming that it is the pleasure and
duty of every good democrat to yield obedience to exist
ing laws and to the judgments OF the legal tribunals of
the land and that the democracy look with deep abhor
renee upon the reckless spirit of notification that ami
mates the black republican organization holding in de-
testation the ntolerant spirit of knownotingsm, and
rowning every attempt to interfere with the existing
laws relative to naturalization expressing unaltcrablc OPP

negro race and asserting that the State should be kept
completely dscngagcd from participation In all improve
nents or enterprises which properly belong TO localities
