Ntbs Of tbe Bar.

OF by the press from several Professors of
Divinity, in connection, including Professor
Silliman, will be published tomorrow, with
the Presidents reply to the same. The for-
mer is eouched in language, and aboundiRg
In expressions highly insulting.
The Writers intimate that the Presidents
has violated his oath, and say they see with
grief that Gov. Walker openly represents in
Kansas that the President is employing.
through him, the presence of the army in
that territory to force people to obey laws
which are not their own. They say that BY
that act the President has violated, in a most
essential particular, the oath which he has
taken to support the Constitution.
They also assert that he is held up to man
kind as levying war against the Union, and
concluded by saying that they have also ia
ken an oath to support the constitution, and
will pray God to make his administration IN
example of justice, benefcence, &c.
President Buchanan replies, in effect, that
these are heavy charges, and, if well founded,
ought to consign his name to infamy but
common justice and christian charity require
that before making them, they should have
been aseertained to be well founded. If not,
they will rebound with whitening condemna-
ton on its authors. He asks if they have
performed that duty If SO, they or he are
laboring under a strange delusion. Should
this be their case. it presents a memorable
example of the truth that political prejudices
bin even the existence of the plainest his
torical facts.
He reviews the history of the territory, and
says he found the government as well estab-
lished in Kansas, as in any other territory,
and it is his duty to sustain this government,

and prevent its being overturned by force
1t was this which caused him to order troops
to Kansas, to act as a posse comitdtus, to aid
the civil magistrates.
He administers a witherlng rebuke to
their assumed piety, and says they can great
ly assist him in arriving at the blessed con-
summation, of making his administration an
example of justice and benefcence, by using
their influence in allaying the sectional ex-
citement on the subject Of slavery.
He says he places his trust in God, and
hopes to be the instrument of restoring har-
mony and peace to the country.
He says he has entire confidence that
Walker will not allow the troops to be en-
ployed except to resist actual aggression on
officers in the execution of the laws.
