JANIS BUCHANAN, President OF the United

Afy Dear Sir IL have ut your request
reconsdered my determination, as announced
to you, declining your lender Of the Office Of
Governor Of the Territory of Kansas. In
view Of the opinion now presented by you,
that the safety OF the Union may depend upon
the selection of the individual to whom shall
be assigned the task of settling the difficulties
which again surround the Kansas question,
j have concluded that solemn sense Of duty
to my country requires me To accept this
position | arn brought TO this conclusion
with an unaffected d1dence in my own
ability but with a fervent hope that the
sa ne overruling Providence which has carried
my beloved country through so many perils,
will now attend and direct my humble Efforts
for her welfare, and that my course will not
be prejudged by any portion Of my fellow
citizens in or out of Kansas.
understand that you and all your Cabinet
cordially concur in the opinion expressed by
me, that the actual bona ,fde residents of the
Territory, by fair aud regular vote, unafTec-
ted by fraud or violence, must be permitted,
in adopting their State Constitution, to decide
for themselves what shall be their social
institutions. This is the great fundamental
principle Of the act of Congress organizing
that Territory affirmed by the recent decision
of the Supreme Court Of the United States,
and is in accordance with the views uniformly
entertained and expressed by me throughout
my public career.
congra,ua;a peaceful settlement Of this
question by an az peal TO the intelligence and

The WEATHER.-Whcn you wish to
know what the weather is to be, go out and
select the smallest cloud you see. keep your
eye upon it, and if it decreases and disap-
pears, it shows n state of the air which will
be sure to be followed by fair weather; but
if it increases in size, you may MS well take
your great coat with you, II you are going
from home, for falling weather wit nol be
far off The reason is this: When the air
is becoming charged with electricity, you will
see large cloud attracting all less ones to-.
wards it, till it gathers in shower. And
on the contrary, when the fluid is passing
off or diflusing itself, even n large cloud will
be seen breaking to pieces and dissolving.

The troops of Uncle Sam can, no doubt, hold
their own, but mp to this time it is admitted
that they meet Brigham Young and his forces
under unfavorable circumstances.
We hear II rumored, thnt Il is the intention
Of Brigham Young TO fight off the Govern
ment troops this winter, as this is the best
chance for an equal conflict with them; and
then, before new renforcements can be sert
ont against them in the Spring, TO destroy
all his possessions in Utah, and set out for
another country.
On the envelope OF this letter, it is said
