The Washington correspondent Of the Philadelphia
Inquirer writes as follows
lam prepared TO speak more positively concerning
Gov Richardson andito make unquahedly these specific
declarations
l. That Gov Richardson, to whom the appointment had
been time previously rendered, after Mr. Douglas
had taken his stand the Senate called on the President
and stated to him that be agreed fully with the sentiments
Of the Illinois Seneor thus giving the executive the oppor
tuny If so disposed TO withdraw his proher Of the Gov
ernorshp. That there may be no mistake about this,
will add that this interview took place in the presence OF
Gen. Singleton, of Illinois.
q That the President, knowing these facts sent the
nomination Of Gov Richardson TO the Senate.
g. That Gov. Richardson consulted with Mr. Douglas to
know IT, under the circumstances he should accept the
post, and that gentleman advised hi, that there
reason why he should rot 40 So
That IN executive session, when the subject OF Gov
RICHARDSON'S appointment came up, Mr. DougiR was the
Senator who moved for suspension OF the rules order
that the nomination might be confirmed without delay.
The above is undoubtedly true, and constitutes
the sole reason of Col. Richardson's appointment.
President Buchanan wishes Douglas defeated in
this State. In order to bring this about he sends
the right bower of Judge Douglas into exile.
With Richardson away, Douglas stands poor
chance Of reelection to the United States Senate.
