Buchanan has pursued policy to give to the people of
Kansas, without distinction, their just rights and to
store peace and harmony to our country He has no
higher ambition than to his county and that he

receives any letters from New England.

From tho pittshold plass Sun.
We have been waiting with considerable impatience
for the appearance of the correspondence which it was
announced some days since had taken place between
Prof. Sman, of New Haven, and President Buchanan
1t published the Sd instant and give it below
inviting for the same particular attention.
1t will be that Prof Silliman and his fellows
sailed the President with cant and accused him of
SON. and their sefsucency and folly is most admirably
rebuked by the Executive.
This letter of President Buchanan, trust will do
great deal of good and ought to put end to the in
cenary appeals of those who for months have made false
charges against the DEMOCRATIC PARTY and
PRESIDENT The clerical brethren of Prof Slliman in
New England who have wounded the cause of their
Great Master by their imprudenccs and gross misrep-
reservations in regard to Kansas and the Kansas Nebraska
bill should profit by the kind expressions of President
Buchanan which given in Christian spirit and with
becoming regard to the eminent position he occupies
the Chief Magistrate of republic whose CONSTITUTION and
LAWS he is sworn to support.

Our readers will find on the second page first column,
of this paper, correspondence between number of
northern clergymen and others and President Buchan
an, the political affairs of Kansas. We need not
ask for attentive persa of this correspondence 1t
will be found deeply interesting Mr. Buchanans is
noble and patriotic letter 1t is crushing rebuke of the
pragmatc interference of set of New England ministers
in matters outside of their calling.
We hope this correspondence will be widely circulated
Every voter in Georgia should read it. What will the
enemies of Mr. Buchanan in Georgia now say? What
they say?

The following is the admirable and scathng letter of
Mr. Buchanan in reply to Prof Silliman and fortytwo
other clergymcn of New England, who time since
wrote him concerning Kansas affairs in which they init

On the outside of this issue will be found the correspond
between the President and the reverend freedom
shrekcs of Connecticut who undertook to dictate to him
what he should pursue in enforcing the laws in the
Territory of Kansas and threatening in the event that
he should not follow the prescribed by them that
they would Gn a meek and lowly spirit of Christian
charity invoke Al-rulng Power to visit him with
condgn punishment.
We must confess that when we first heard that the
President had been corresponding with pack of crazy
fanatics we thought he was putting his time and talent
to very poor use and was engaging in business which
would yield neither profit nor honor.
But since reading the letter. which is plain forcble
and tempered cfutaon Of all the charges that
alleged against him, feel highly grated that Mr.
Buchanan has administered dose to these
slavery agitators well calculated to silence them for
