An Able and Eloquent Letter.


Among the many letters written by distinguished
Democrats to the grand Democratic demonstration at
Tammany Hall, New York, on the 4th instant, in
support of President Buchanan and Lecompton, we
copy the following from the Hon. Aaron V. Brown.
In addition to Mr.. Browns letter communications
were received from Secretary Cobb, Secretary Tou-
cey, Secretary Thompson, Hon. John Sidell, Hon.
D. S. Dickinson, and others. Mr.. Thompson writes
briefly and says:
"For nv part, have never permitted myself to
doubt that the calm, good sense of the American
people would penetrate and battle the mischievous
designs of mere sectional agitatos, and finally rally
them masse to the support of the constitutional
policy adopted by the President"
u Mr. Toucey asks, s......
"Why not cut the gordan knot at once? Why
not expel the mischief from Congress and settle the
difficulties at single stroke, by referring them to
the people who have the exclusive right and power
to settle them? Why not give the principle of the
Kansas and Nebraska act foil and fair play in the
shortest possible time by the most direct mode. with
the least possible obstruction, to work Legitimate
solution? Can the people Of Kansas complain that
they are placed by the side of the proudest States of
this Union! with the largest liberty possible under
the Federal Constitution with the fullest practi,
cable opportunity of exercising the right of self gov.
ernment and moulding their institutions in their own
way subject only to the Constitution Of the United
States? This is the policy OF the President. and it
is the on- short, Direct open way to the establish
ment Of peace law, order and popular power in the
Territory, and to the consideration and adoption Of
such measures Of legislation for the whole country
as its great interests imperatively require" ~.
Mr. Cobb concludes his letter as follows: !, -
If in this hour Of peril and danger the country

growing out of the Kansas discussion, have taken

vote against it.
Senator Douglas has been confined to his house
by Sickness and has taken no part in the late dis.
