[From the Philadelphia Argus, Nov. 80,

We have already laid before readers the highly inn
porant letter Of the President Of the United States to the
committee at Pittsburg, Pa upon the occasion of the
late celebration at that place 1t is of the most eo
uent documents that have emanated from that distin-
gused source and has been read with profound interest
and admiration by all classes of citizens. The ap-
plling dangers which threaten from the rapid de-
moalization of the times alluded to with startling
emphasis The terrible evil of buying up voters at cleo
tions like many cattle Is commented upon with mas
terly power The document is every way worthy of its
ilstrious author, and will add to his world wide
.sm
One would have thought it hardly possible that
the puny malice and petty malgnity of the miserable
renegade of the Philadelphia Press could have found in this
statesmanke production, occasion for the lowest
ibaldry, the most scurrillous puerty the most
tcmptbe vugarity and personality which has hitherto
dsgraced that of ialsehood and detrae-
ton but so it is The facts alluded to with such plain
by the President, of vast sums of money having
been squandered carry the late election must have hit

POLITICAL FoILIEs NORTH AND SOUTH

There are thousands of in the North who
have been prescribed and condemned for seeking
an honest enforcement of the federal constitution
in reference to the surrender of fugitive slaves and
for opposing mere sectional schemes of adjustment
between the North and tho South touching the ques-
ton of slavery. What howl was sent up when
the Missouri Compromise repealed and who
has forgotten the deafening srieks of the fanatics
when northern men refused to sustain the Wimot
proviso 1t has required fifteen years of earnest,
self sacrificing controversy in the free States to con
vince the people thatit is just and fair to consult the
constitution for remedies as well for rights-in
fact to convince them that the federal compact is the
very best chart to steer by aud the highest guaran-
tee of equality amongst all the States of the Union.
The Missouri Compromise aud Mr.. Wilmots proviso
were based upon the idea that the subject Of slavery
could only be managed by and between parties and
sections outside and regardless Of the consttu-
tion; whereas experience has abundantly proven
that such management has only served to build
