BUcHANANs BILL ENGLISH LErrER.-Tbe
New Albany Tribune thus meets the semi official
denial of the authenticity of the letter of Buch.
anan to English, OF which it only processes to
give the substance, by certain plain questions
and assertions -
odd you not, Mr. Buchanan, write t.so or
more letters to Hon. W. Ii. English short time
before the meeting Of the Pao Convention in
this District, intended to affect his re-nomina-
ton Tor Congressy And did you not, in one or
more OF those letters, congratulate him upon
tue success OF that great measure with which
his name is connecticut the same time ex-
pressing your earnest desire that he should be
re-nomnated and reelected to Congress- Did
you not at the same time suggest, that future
to nominate him, on the part of the Democrats
of this District, would be regarded as rebuke
OF your Administration, or something to that
effect! In view of all this, and for the purpose
OF impressing your Democratic fellow citizens
OF this District with the paramount Importance
OF the thing, did you not declare that il you
had thousand votes to give and lived in this
Uistrict, you would give them all to Mr.. Eng
lish-meaning thereby, az you had no thousand
ootes to gige if YOU could bring the influence of
your position, and the patronage of your office
to bear, SO as to control a thousand yotss. YOU
would control them all for Mr.. English In
other words, did you not plainly intimate TO
Mr.. English that, if need be, you were willing
to bring the power and patronage Of the
Government in conflict with the freedom of
elections in order to secure his return to
Congress?
NOW this We understand 10 be the spirit
the substance-the gisi-of Mr. Buchanans
letters to Mr.. English. which the latter used as
. powerful lever in securing his re-nomina ion,
as he was expressly authorized by Mr.. Buchan-
nan to do at his pleasure"

AddFcas..Another Letter.
Last night We were handed another letter.
IL needs no comment, unless the simple remark
that the writer seems to be progressing towards
correct conclusions:
Mount Pleasant, Aug. 16.
DEAR BRorHER,
Since my communication to you Of the 18th
instant our city has been the theatre of unusual
excitement. The address of Judge Claeget
before the Sunday School, Sabbath morning last,
has bsen topic of almost universal remark
His new position has set thousand tongues in
motion, some for good and some for evil.
know, dear brother, that our politicians in
these latter days have become so corrupt that
they seek to pervert every moral truth, and
even make our holy religion subservient to their
base purposes. Yet cannot believe that the
Judge would dare subject himself to charges OF
sacrilegious hypocrisy for the purpose of secur-
Ing . few votes from our Church. Yet the
charge of insincerity is openly made against
him BY his enemies and regret to say by.
many who have heretofore favored bis election.
This charge is plausibly sustained by the asser-
ton that hs has frequently, since his address, |
used the most profane language, even before |
children who were members of the Sabbath
School and listened with so much interest 10 |
his apparently sincere religious exhortation,
and who, in the simplicity of their hearts, be-
lieved him to be model Christian. Ihave too
high an opinion Of human nature, fallen as it
10, to fully credit these reports. You know
Charity 10 q cardinal Christian virtue which
cannot be too frequently exercised. Still we
should not allow it to cover too great a multi
tude Of sins. shall, however, defer my final
judgment in this matter until further develop
mente. Yours, &c.

While party politics we're not, il is true, to

to suppose that there is majority in the Terri.

sent Administration. We do not know 10 wha,
particular political faith ali of the members are

that both branches would show clear majority
