The Gazette on me + sident.

The G"1ette Of Saturday publishes a
long leader entitled "Buchauan's Inter.
terence with local politics" aud also a
letter purporting to have been written
bv the President to Hon. " Imam IL
English OF Indiana, promising him gov
crnment patronage in the State to as
sist IN his election, etc, etc.
In consequence of tn press of other
matters upon our columns we have not
before been able to refer to the matter
aud 10 not do SO ow, because we sup
pose any one will believe statements
SO utterly ridiculous bu, solely cut OF
regard for the character Of neighbors
who are fast getting up a reputation
tor lying on all OCCASIONS, and in the
majority OF ca Us, with Jut even the
semblancc OF truth to sustain them.
They have been our neighhors in the
same building for number of years
and we really take too much interest
in their welfare to allow them to %
on IN this way without telling them OF
It.
The letter published is disgrace
full fabrication and the charge of the
Gazetfe, that the President is interfering
by offers of government patronage in
the elections of Indiana, is a scandaIous
'aIsehood, unworthy of an endo sernent
by any journal possessing the least
character or responsibility.
That the President may have writ
ten private an! personal letter to Mr..
English expressing hope for his re-
election is by no means imprt babe !;
and the right Of man, even if he is
President of the United States, to en-
terrain private friendship and write let
tiers expressing an interest in the sue
cess of his friends, will we think be de-
MED by no one.

In our own hands and pledge ours, Ives
TO God aud our country TO stand shout

Late advices from Kansas state that
since the negro question has been
transferred from v ashington to that
Territory, and the controversy has
been Localized, the abolitlonists have
had everything their own way. They
have stumped the country all summer
without any opposition Whatever. They
.ave done all the numbering, stealing
and fighting that WAS to be done; and,
IN fact, have ruled the territory rs Dor
der rufiiais of the worst description
alone could have done. Yet, the CRY
rs, keep up the excitement" The
pro-siavery men are in the minority {;
yet the abolltlonists and the republl-
cans were as fearful OF the result on
The second Of August inst. as though
the eneniy we're in the majority. The
way the President aud his Cabinc.
we're abused was really amusing. anG
somewhat curious, too, considering Mr.
buchanan was the chief instrumen,
n restoring peace and harmony to tina,
once unhappy co lntry The advicts
also state that but little idea Of the re-
suit of the vote on Monday the "a inst
can be formed for several DAYS.

thus darcs to lmpeach their honesty
and yeracity.
The great point, however, endeayor-
ed 10 be made by Mr.. Vsndever, is
from the co,robative letter of the man
Wiltsie, ex-clerk etc, who states that
ian comparison ofthe maps and field
notes Of the respective surveys shows
Mr.. Wanderers surveys to be better
than the second survey" which he ad
mts was ordered by the government
After thus, as he supposed, convin-
cling the people that the frauds COM
United by him, were founded upon the
lies Of the entire population Of Wa
pello county Mr.. Surveyor Vande-
yer sat down in the comfortable hope
that no one would take the trouble to
look at the field notes and other rec
orcs, to see whether he he'd or not
lie was however mistaken. Our
friends at Dubuque approaching the
amo1nt Of credit which was due TO the
statements Of Nj. Surveyor Vandever
and Mr.. WiItsie, both Of whom reside
in that city, Immediately on the APP
pearance OF the Expose Of the base
attempt to Willy Mr.. Vandever," pro-
ceeded 10 make an examination for
themselves in the office OF tue Survey
or General. The result proved that
the records of the fraudulent surveys
made by Mr. Vandever, with the held
notes made in his tent without going
upon the ground, had been stolen from
tie Surveyor Genscals OH e.
Verify the republican leaders Of
our goodly State arc pretty set OF
men. Martin l.. Morris, State Treas
urer, improperly diverts one hundred
and ten thousand dollars Of the peo-
plies money, aud when a resolution is
adopted by the Legislature appointing
an investigating Committee, it is stolen
from the rolls uf the Secretary of State
and now when charges Of fraud in
making surveys, are brought against a
republican Candidate for Congress, the
records and field notes made by him
suddenly disappear from the office OF
the Surveyor General.
Daily Iowa State Democrat. [volume] (Davenport, Iowa) 1856-1859, 1858-08-08
Mr. Surveyor Vandever.

1t has been charged, and is now es-
,ablishcd, that William Nandever, of
Dubuque, republican candidate Tor Con
grcss from this istrict, was some time
since employed 10y the then Surveyor
General ui the State Of Iowa, to subdI-
vide the townships on the Desmoincs
River in WapeIlo county; that the
surveys were iraudulcntIy made tina
his field notes were made up in his tent
without going upon the ground that
no stakes or marks could be found b,
the settlers 10y which to mark IF their
lines; that in consequence of these
fraudulent and improper surveys the
land office was obliged to order new
survey at large expense; that for the
labor thus fraudulently and imperfectly
pelformed-or, more properly, not per-
formed ut al, William Vandever, re-
publican candidate for Congress-thc
conscientious friend of freedom-the
man who is opposed to slavery on prin
cipie-the man who is opposed to the
RECKLESS, extravagant and corrupt adj
ministration of James Buchanan he
high toned, clear headed, immaculate
Nandevcr-drew his pay from the gov
elnment before an opportunity was had
to inspect his work; and that he to-
day owes the sum received by him to
the people to whom he is now appeal
ing for votes.
In answer to these charges, the Ga
=ette on Saturday published long let
ter from the caid Vandevcr denying the
entire matter, corroboratcd by note
from one Ii. A. Wiltsic, formerly clerk
IN the Surveyor Generals office, and with
s,me few remarks of its own-the
whole thing being entitled "Base at
tempt to vlIlfy Mr.. Vandever exposed
and refuted." Mr.. Surveyor Vandevel
in his letter, with disregard Of self
truly affecting, and with an eye single
to the interests Of the republican par
ty, states that if he had not been hon.
ored by the party with a nomination,
ne never would have taken the trou bic
TO deny these charges. He then pro-
ceeds to aver that the surveys made by
him were honestly, correctly and ably
executed and the citizens of Wapello
county who had squatted upon the
lands before the survey, attacked the
surveys, removed the stakes set by him
aud destroyed the lines, because they
were dissatisfied with them, and that
the second survey was improperly
procured to be made by them. 1t is then
be made question whether Mr.. Van-
dever never made the surveys, or
whether the citizens Of Wapello county,
in defiance Of the law destroyed the
evidence Of his labors. 1t is question
Of veracity between the citizens Of
Wapello county and Mr.. Surveyor
Vanderver. And which, We ask, i,

testimony Of hundreds Of honest pio.
