Vandever'r Letter to the Jackson Journal.

1t has frequently been asserted that
the greatest mistake which can be
committed by a candidate for office is
the publication of letters.
This is peculiarly go in the case Of
Mr.. Nandever. Some weeks since he
published long letter defending him
self from the chargers Of fraudulent
Surveys made by him in Wapello
county. This letter we have hereto
fore "ripped up" and proved not only
that some of his statements were con-
trary to the assertion of the population
of Wapello, but that several Of them
were absolutely and knowingly false.
We, at that time, prophesied, that the
publication of another equally reckless
letter would increase the chances Of
Lefiigwell, one hundred per cent
That our prediction will be realized we
shall tomorrow demonstrate by refer
encc to his shutting and disgraceful
letter to the Jackson Journal.
Lest our friends of the Gazen should
feel dissatisfied, we promise to publish
the whole of the letter-indeed we are
strongly induced to place it at the head
of our columns to stand there until the
day of election, an evidence of the
character of the man who has been
nominated by the Republicans of this
district for our representative in Con-
grcss.

Hall In Danger.

Hall is not positively sure of re-nomina-
ton. His miserable trucking course in
Congress, his betrayal of tho party on the
Lecompton question, and his peculiar rot
tenncss on all questions have disgusted the
Democracy, and strong effort will be made
to oust him. Noble of Seneca, M'Kelley
ofWyandot, Ramsey of Hardin and Green Of
Sandusky are figuring for the nomination.
They are four very small potato politicians
but tho poorest of the lot, poor as they are,
would bo vast improvement upon the
present incumbent.
Tuesday last two prominent locofoco pol
iticians of Wyandot were in Bucyrus, clos
eted with leading Democrats, and on
Wednesday Seneca County Locofocoism
was represented. Hall is a doomed man.

Benton was one of the last of the giant.
Of former days. His frmncss, courage ant
honesty will never be questioned. Ho wa,
n representative of that democracy which
'cos but is not. He might have been one
of the patriots who drew tho immortal Dec
laration. He would have asserted and
maintained the rights of man rs man. He
loved the Union and would have defended
it with his life. The southern dcsperadoes
who have boon plotting disunion these thir-
ty years, and threatening it on all occasions
small and great, he hated and despised.-
Had he been President he would have
crushed these mon and their treasouablc
designs under an iron heel. Pity it is that
he could not havo lived to see them made
the scorn Of all patriots north and SOUTH
He was opposed to tho repeal of the Mis-
souri, Compromise. He spit upon tho Dred
Scott decision. He condemned and secuted
the attempt to force on Kansas n constitu-
ton despiscd and rejected by its people,
He declared on his death bed that it afford
ed him peace in his parting hour to know
that Lecompton was cast out. He did no,
then know the power ofpresidontial patron.

Tho time will soon come when each man

Douglas and Buchanan Is irfeconcilcablo.
The difference between them is as wide and
impossible as The gulf which separate Dives

the Constitution and the Declaration of In
dependence, who believes in the rights of

zanship to his patriotism. Every man who

A NOTEWORTHY DECISION by LIE
coMPrE.-Wonders will never cease. Judge
Lccomptc of Kansas notoriety, has at length
given decision in favor Of the rights Of the
Free State mon to office. The case is thus
stated by the Kansas correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gazette:
You may remember that the Pro- Slavery
officers of Leavenworth county, elected by
the fraudulent votes in Kickapoo and Della
last fall, were "ousted" by the Territorial
Legislature last winter, and that a now cleo
ton was ordered, at which Free State men
were elected in their places. Up to tho
present timo tho Pro-Slayery officers have
steadily refused to give up their official pa
pcrs, or to recognize their Free State success
sors; but on yesterday, in a suit in tho Dis
trict Court, Judge LecomptO decided in fa-
vor of tho claims of the FREQ State men,
and they will now go on, unimpeded, with
the duties of their respective offices.

Col. BentOn's opinion OF Mr.. Buchanan
ana his Administration.

ana his Administration.
In Mr.. Blair's statement showing that
Mr.. Jones the son-in-law Of Col. Benton,
has misreprescntod the opinion of that
statesman, occurs tho following Preamble
Resolutions which were penned by Col
Benton and sent to f, p. Blair Jr., to be
submitted to Congress. Mr.. b. p. Blair,
Sr.,says in them will be found the grounds
on which Col Benton based his opposition
to Mr.. Buchanan's Administration. They
are as follows:
81. Resolved, That the judicial power of
the United States does not extend TO polit-
ical questions, and that all pretended decis-
ions of such questions by the federal judic-
iary are illegal and void.
"2. ReSolved, That the late decision Of
tho Supreme Court in the case of Dred
Scott against Sanford, so far as tho same
applies to tho act of Congress commonly
called the Missouri Compromise act, is the
decision of political question not within
the jurisdiction Of tho Court, and is illegal
and void.
"3. Resolved That there was nothing in
the case before the Court to authorize it TO
take cognizanco of the validity Of the Mis-
souri, Compromise act, and the cognizance
so taken of that act was cxtra-judicial and
gratuitous.
~. Resolved, That the assumption Of
the Court TO make the said decision, when
the case on the record out Of which il
grow was dismissed for want Of jurisdic-
ton, was n clear and manifest proceeding
without any judicial authority, and was il.
legal and void.
"5. ResoIued, That the decision Of the
same Court in the same case, declaring tho
self-extension of the Constitution to Terri
tories carrying African Slavery with it, and
protecting it there against the power of
Congress or the people TO reject it, was n
decision without any authority to make it,
and without any foundation to rest upon af-
ter the case was dismissed for want of ju-
risdiction, out Of which it grew; and that
said decision was obiter dicta and without
| legal effect or force.
&c. Resolved, That the said decisions arc
in dcrogation of the powers of Congress and
restrictive Of its tilne-honorod right and
practice to legislatc for Territories; and be-
ing so derogatory and restrictive, it becomes
the duty of Congress to vindicate its rights
by asserting its full authority to legislate
upon Slavery in Territories and declaring
its total disregard of the said illegal, extra
judicial and void decisions of the Supreme
Court; which, accordingly, is hereby done.
~. Resolped, That Congress and the
President, las part of the legislative author
Iity) arc judges of their own powers, in
passing or approving bills, to be governed
by their own reading of the Constitution,
and by their own eaths and conscicnces and
that the Supreme Court has no moro pow
er to control them than they have to control
the Court, being both coordinate branches
Of the same government, and Independent
of each other within their constitutional
sphere"

Let their respective constituencies bear in
mind at next falls election that the passage
of the English contrivancc is due to the de-
fection of the Anti-Lecompton Democrats
from Ohio. These mon had it in their
power to defeat the measure. Had Pen
dleton, Grocsbeck, Cockerill, Hall, Cox and
Lawrence, who were counted against Le-
compton, remained firm, and opposed to
the bitter end this contriyance to admit
Kansas as Slave State, it would have been
defeated. People of Ohio will you endorse
the men who havo betrayed you.
We hope the people of the Ninth Dis
trict will rember HALL and every one ol
tho party to which he is allied, and vote fol
no one who is not unqualifedly opposed to
tho Lecompton swindle.

The President stated TO a gentleman
yesterday that Congress could easily ad

he is anxious TO get Congress out of the way
as he has a largo batch Of appointments tc
make, which he dislikes to pass the ordeal
Of the Senate at this session. Besides, i
war is to be declared, he wishes to do il
without giving Congress a chance to debate
the propriety Of it. He wants the "Bunk

There is no danger Of Dacotah and Ari
