So that the interview really did occur! What the
object Of that interview was, may be Imagined ho
the fact that no other subject could have been dis
cussed between the parties for, ~ have said u
these remarks. and as the columns Of The Pre-" vii
show, had no cause Of public difference with Mr.
Buchanan beyond that Of Kansas. We had long
since ceased TO talk about private matters. Not only
did the conversation detailed take place bnt, "a the
many friends 20 whom related il after left the Pres
dental mansion will remember, many other things
were omitted n the statement which gave at Farry
town. Among others, the President said to
{" If Won and Walker and Douglas will units in sup.
port of my kansas policy, the people OF Kansas
will vote at the election which s TO of the
"2lst of December'fthat election, it will be remem-
bered having been called under the suspicss Of the
minority Legislature for the purpose Of putting
through the Lecompson Constitution, and was held
under circumstances Of frand and infamy which will
not soon be forgottenD. He said further: know

able that the memory Of Mr, BuchsuBn VIII be stifnu-
lated when he reads these sentences. As for The
Washington Union, whether II speaks for him OF not
in the above extract ain unable to say. II il does,
the memory Of the President is most defective.

be compelled to make it good by furnishing the name
or names Of respectable witnesses, VINO were present
when he described this celebrated interview between
Gov. Walker and the Cabinet and President Bachs-

the President or the Cabinet beg to rest tins part
of my statement upon the distinguished authority
of the editor of The Warrington Union himself.
