THE MEMORIAL
OF
PROFESSOR SllLlMAN,
AND THE REPLY OF
PRESIDENT BUCHAN A N.
WAsHINGToN, Sept. Q,


The following is the memorial of Prof
Silliman and forty-two others, of Conucc-
ticut, addressed to his Excellency, james
Buchanan, President of the United States !:
"The undersigned, citizens of the United
States, and electors Of the State of Con-
necticut, respectfully offer to your Excel.
lency, this, their memorial. The iunda-
meutal principle of the Constitution Of the
United States and Of our political institutions
is, that the people shall make their own
laws, and elect their own rulers. We see
with grief, if not with astonishment, that
Governor Walker, of Kansas, openly rep
resents and proclaims that the President
of the United .Stftes is employing through
him an army, one purpose oil which is to
force the people Of Kansas to obey laws
not their own nor of the United States, but
laws which it is notorious and established
upon evidence that they never made and
rulers they never elected. We represent,
therefore, by the foregoing, your Excellency
is held up and proclaimed, to the great
derogation of our National character, as
violating in its most essential particular
the solemn oath which the President has
taken to support the Constitution of this
Union. We call attention further to the
fac, that your Excel'ency is in like manner
held up to this ,aalion, to all mankind, and
TO all posterity, in the attitude Of levying
war against portion of the United States
by employing arms in Kansas to uphold a
body of mrn and code Of enactments
purporting to be legislative, but which
never had the election nor sanction, moi
consent of the prople Of the Territ 'ry.--
We earnestly represent to your Excellency
that We have also taken the oath to obey
the Constitution, and your Excellcncy
may be assured that we shall not re(rair
from the prayer, that the Almighty Goo
will make your Administration an example
Of justice aud benefcence, and with Iii!
terrible majesty protect our people and ou'
| Constitution"

THE PRESIDENTS REPLY.
WAsHINGToN CITY,
August 10Th, 1851. !

August lothj iooiS
GENT EMtN - On my recent return to
this city, after fortnight's absence, your
memorial, without date, was placed in my
hands, through the agency oil AIR. Horatio
King, of the Post Office Department, to
whom it had been entrusted. From the
distinguished source from whence it pro.
ceeds, as well as its peculiar character, |
have deemed it proper to depart from my
general rule in such cases, and to give it
an answer.
You first assert that "Thc fundamental
principle of the Constitution Of the United
States, and of our political institutions, is
that the people shall make their own laws, /,
and elect their own rulers" You then
express your grief and astonishment that
| should have violated this principle, and
through C oyernor Walker, have employed
an army, zone of the purposes of which
is to force he people of Kansas to obey
laws, not their own, nor Of the United
States, but laws, which it is notorious and
established upon evidence, they never made
and rulers they never elected" And as a
corollary fropl the foregoing, you represent
that l am "openly held up, and proclaimed
to the great derogaIion Of our Nationa
character, as violating in its most essential
particular the solemn oath which the Pre-
sdent has taken to support the Constitution
of this Union" .....
These are heavy charges, proceeding
from gentlemen of your high character
and if well founded ought to cousign m!
namo to infamy. But in proportion t.
their gravity, common Justice, to say moth
ing of Christian charity, required tina
before making them you should have clear
ly ascertained that they were well founded
If not, they will rebound with witherinl
condemnation upon their author. Hay
= you performed this preliminary toward tn
, man who, however unworthy, is the Chic
Magistrate of your countryl liso, eithe
you or are laboring under strange dc
:, luson, Should this prove to be your case
it will present memorable example of tn
truth that political prejudice is bind. eve
n to the existence of the plainest and mos
palpablc historical facts.

How unexpected was the stroke,
That crushed the budding flower!
That ties of love NEST sacred broke
With anguish allied the hour
How we're the charms that clustered there,
In ono brief moment slain;
Hopes blasted turned into despEiri Va
Thusall, alas, how vain
Z How can the stranger Poet tell, l w
That doting mothers woe,
When told what had her boy beiel
All! she alone can know
Well may fathers heart demand,
sympathisipg tear
Bnt whe, ah who car undeHtNnd
The grief that's ranking tnere
But why lament his early dooai2 es
Deaths boasiipgs all, how yain
and vain the triumphs of the tomb,
since Christ, the Lamb, was slain.
A ehild.like faith was all required,
Thus made Salyation's heir
*Through him who on the tree expired,
There all our guilt did bear.
Not lsst, but early called away
From evil, years might bring,
And now be reigns iu endless Jay,
iH With Christ, his Heavenly King
A crown of glory decks his brow;
jark don't you hear him sing
ograve! where is thy victHH now
Death! where is thy stiBgi
then ye stricken hearts resign,
The oasket to the dust
The jewel saved by Grace Divine,
With your Redeemer trust.
Ald when your CONFLICTS here are Ger,
Heaven will your darling boy
Again unto your arms restore,
With everlasting joy.
Then may your hearts and souls abound
With Grace, the sovereign palm
And whom your lost In Heaven is found,
Give glery to the Lamb.

THz MnEAon SYsrFM.--The Washington
correspondent of the New York Trioune SAYS.
The Committee on Mileage have net agreed
upon any distinct recommendation. Nearly
every member has plan of his own. Mr..
Kelseys proposition already inperfecly tstated,
cOntenplates an allowance Of the present miel-
age within distance Of two hundred and
fifty miles; and ten cents per mile for distances
over that limitation. Taking the present basis i,
this would save about one hundred and twelve
thousand dollars annually. He deducls twenty
NV Aallars per day for absence. Inc proiecs
rests upon Nv nrinciple that the laie law
compensates ior se.y'es, 5hile mileage is in
expenses and not ss additional pay. The pFssS
ent average pay to members is about seven
hundred and ninety dollars each very
uneqaaly distribnted. Seven Territorial
Delegates receive over three thousand dollars
each per per session for mileage, and one from
way.
