wrote the following letter TO the committee
IL will be read with interest:
WASHINGTON, July 3, 1858.
Gentlemen have received your very kind
invitation TO be present at the meeting OF my
felowciizens in Independence Square, to cell
sbrate the approaching anniversary of our Ma
ional Independence Would that it were IN
my power to accept this invitation! This,
however, is impossible. May we ever con-
tinue to celebrate, with ardent enthusiasm
throughout the length and breadth of the
land, each successive return of the day which
gave us birth as nation. While we do this,
md thus keep alive, from generation TO gener-
Ation, the memory of the common suler'ngs
md the common dangers which our fathers en-
rountered in achieving our independence, the
Constitution and the Union will be preserved
l congratulate YOU. with all my heart. upon
he present hopeful prospects OF our country.
! humby tru.t that a kind Providence has dis
Deled the angry clouds which but recently
seemed to impend over it,and that we have
nearly reached the end of those violent and ex-
asperated sectional controversies which have
threatened the Union.
When we contrast the present condition of
nur country with what it would have been at
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 Conlederacy, we have every rea-
son to be thankful to the Supreme Ruler OF
nations who has ever interfered at the hour OF
our greatest need to shield US from danger.
From your friend, very respectfully,
JAMES BUCHANAN.

SLAVE AND FREE STATEs.-.The Banner OF
Liberty, published at Middleton, New York,
thus discourses touching these designations,
which are so ogeneralIy applied to the States OF
The North and the South;
A MIsNoMER-The too common distinction
Of the Northern and Southern States as Free
and Slave States. Any person well inform
ed upon the subject, knows that there is much
more freedom in the Southern States than in
the Northern. In the latter the Purianic ten
dency has so far encroached upon and subver-
ted the primitive republican institutions of our
ancestors, as to deprive citizens OF many of the
dearest immunities of freemen, while in the
Southern States it is well known a conserva-
tive spirit has prevailed, and there has been
much less innovation. If, therefore, the dis.
tinction of Free" and "Save" States is to be
kept up, the application should be called the
"Free" States and the Northern "Slave'
States.
The Banner concludes the remarks, from
which the above are extracted, with the follow.
ing suggestions:
As this is white mans government instead
of the negros, that portion in which white peo
pie are most free, prosperous and happy should
be designated as Stree" and the appellation oI
..slave" should be applied to those States in
which white people enjoy the least liberty
are compelled to toll most and enjoy less re-
turns for their labor. Let the order then be
reversed, or let the non-savebolding States be
designated as "free-nigger States instead o
"free States" We insist upon this tribute tc
truth and justice. What say our brethren o
