sentiment Of the meeDg-a cordial approval Of the lead
ing measures of Mr., Buchanans administration The
message is a frank bold and statesman like document,
which does credit to its author and tho country Good
may differ with the President on some of the topics
which he has discussed and particularly that relating to
the affairs of Kansas; but agree with him, that II Is
dictate Of enlarged and sound public policy TO give the
people o. the Territory State organization with as little
and still many wrong things in relation to the Terri
tory but despair Of ever seeing them rghed until the
Territory becomes a State, when the people can settle
their differences among themselves and establish such
institutions they may deem proper This will be Civ

the less disposed to wait for better state Of things in
Kansas for the that many persons there from
different quarters OF the country armed for fight and have

am in receipt of your invitation 70 attend meeting Of
the New York democracy to be held TO morrow evening"
for the purpose Of responding 10 the sentiments and
recommendations in the recent of President Blu
chanan, but will not be my power 10 attend that
occasion. The only sentiments expressed in that mes
sage In regard 10 which any difference OF opinion aong
democrats disclosed, TO relate 10 the policy
which should be parsued in reference TO Kansas Since
the Inauguration Of Mr. Buchanan the democratic party
has been constantly increasing strength and steadily
advancing in public confidence. Is not, therefore, sur
prsing that any apparent disagreement among promi.
nen members OF the democratic party should be magni
fed in Importance by the opposition, and, possible,
should be famed into blaze II equally the policy Of
every true democrat TO exert his influence 10 avoid any
such disastrous result and 10 tolerate the utmost beral
y among democrats in reference 10 the application Of tho
doctrine Of nonnerventon to the peculiar state Of affairs
existing in Kansas. Nor discover any good
10 doubt that this "vexed question Will long be ds
promote The peare and welfare Of the country. What
stands in the way Of such result The republican party
has heretofore insisted that Congress should prohibit the
introduction Of slavery into the Territories OF the Union
and that State should be admitted unless her
constitution prohibited the existence Of slavery TN the
other hand the democratic party demanded that this
question should be entirely removed from the halls Of
national legislature and should be submitted 70 the peo
pie Of The State determine for themselves After
one Of the most severe struggles ever witnessed in th.
country the American people decided this question In
favor Of the democratic doctrine The great principle has
been settled and will, in my judgment never be changed
while nothing remains except TO settle the details Of the
decree Az to the future the President expresses the hope
