,Letter from tle President.

President Buchanan having been invited to
attend the recent national celebration IN Phila-
delphia, wrote the following letter to the COM
inittee. 1t Will be read with interest:
ar WASHINGTON, July 8, 1858.
GenTemen:-I have received your very kind
invitation 10 be presented at the meeting OF my
fellow citizens in Independence Square to cele
brate the approaching anniversary Of our Ma
tional Independence. Would that it were in
my power to accept this invitation. This, how
ever, is impossible May we ever continue to
celebrate with ardent enthusiasm, through out
the length and breadth of the land, each success
sive return OF the day which gave us birth as
nation. Whilst we do this, and thus keep
alive, from generation to generation, the men,
ory of the common sufferings and the common
dangers which our fathers encountered in achlev
ing our independence, the Constitution and the
Union viii be prederyed.
| congratulate you, with all my heart upon
the present hopeful prospects OF our country l
humbly trust that kind Providence has dis
pclled the angry clouds which but recently sec
med 10 impend over it, and that we have nearly
reached the end OF those vitent and exaspera-
ted sectional controversies which have threat
ened the Union.
When we contrast the present condition of
our country with what it would have been out
this moment had Congress adjourned without
enacting any law to mitigate the sectional strife
which had been raging for years between the
States Of the Conederacy, we have every reason
to be thankful to the Supreme Ruler OF nations
who has ever intertered at the hours of our
greatest need to shid US from danger.
From your, friend very respectfully.
