attempt of Mr.. Buchanan to rid himself of the odum
which has been created by the proscriptve course
Of The Union, and by its monstrOus, undemocratic,
and unrepubican political doctrines. IL Is very
well known in Washington that The Union is edited,
controlled, and owned by Mr. John Appleton, As
si,tant Secretary Of State, who is Mr.. Bnchanan's
confidential friend and adviscr, and who ID almost
the only Northern man who has Influence over hun,

Attorney General, who is a frequent contributor to

retary Of State il was on the plea that he poor,
and il was with the understanding that he was to
have an opportunity 20 improve his fortunes by
avaing himself Of the best opportunities that the
favor Of the Government and It's party could give.
He was accordingly made one of the propretors OF
The Uni0n and in conjunction with Mr. Wendell, is
deeply interested in the profits OF the Senate pint

Union, but also directs its political course ana

is incredible that The JRiOn can be conducted IN

and yet Mr.. Buchanan omts no opportunity prl-
vatey to dscaim it.

covered up by professions of fidelity and by pro-
testations that important concession is medl-
tsted. This movement is not q sudden one, but
has been meditated from the beginning There is
reason TO believe that all along, during the whole
course Of the LecOmpton question, Mr.. English has
been negotiating with the Administration, aud has
preserved Gil understanding with them on the course
be should pursue. The same is probably true OF
Others. And this accounts for the hitherto mex
plicable confidence of the Administration men and
organs on the final success Of LecOmptOn. appre-
herd that the fuh extent of the weakness or the
treachery whichever it be) has not yet been dis
closed and that the worst is yet to come. AT pres
ent however, il is not Advisable to say much Oh this
subject. If LecOmptOn shall succeed by bribery
and treachery we shall have at least the satisac
tion of knowing that the traitors will profit little by
their perfdy. Public opinion has not yet lost all its
force and it must be a very high price a very
high office that can compensate a man for the loss
of his own respect and the respect and confidence OF
the people.
Correspondeuce Of The N. Y. Tribune
WASHINGTON, April 1S, 1858.
The signs are improving, and there is now every |
reasonable probability, if any faith may be placed |
in assurances, that the last effort of the Admins
tralion to carry Lecompton through the House
will be attended with no better success than its
former aboItive experiments. The deep and zig
nifcaut utterances of public sentiment have al
ready produced their effect here and some of those
who honestly but mistakingly were persuaded into
o false position, are most anxious for the op-
portunity to retrace their steps, and to complete
the record by vote which will silence all future
doubts. The friends of Mr. Owen Jones' and Mr..
Pendleton are unreserved in say iug that they COM
mited blunder in breaking the line of the OppOs.
ton, which had stood up galanty and faithfully;
but they are equally emphatic IN declaring that no |
purpose of yielding the principle at stake was
entertained. And they appeal to future tests as
means Of verifying their sincerity. They are ent-
tied to be tried and judged by this self-impOsed
standard.
Mr.. English processes openly to adhere to his
purpose Of insisting upon the submission of the Le-
compton Constitution to the people as a sine qua
non in the conference, and that demand necessarily
closes the door against all compromise. The Dem
ocratic majority Of the Senate will never yield 80
lnuch and if they did, Mr.. Garnett and his South |
ern followers would cruelty il In the House. Two |
meetings of the conferees have been adjourned
In consequence of the absence of those who were |
most active in carrying that project, and no move
has yet been taken toward the practical object.
And this, too in the face of the fact that the SEN
ate hurried the bill through by night and by day,
claiming that the condition of the public business
would admit of no further discussion. Mr.. En-
gsh stated last evening that he had given the Sen
ate Committee notice that, unless they presented
proposition tomorrow, he should report 10 the
House and ask to be discharged. This is the prop
er course unless there is disposition to favor the
schemes which are now plotting, to cOnsummate by
corruption what unscrupulOus managers have not
been able 10 achieve by menace or persuasion.
The Pacific Railroad was defeated yesterday,
mainly by Administration votes, there being IL Le-
comptontes out of the % who voted to postpone |
until December, which Mr.. Gwin announced as a |
test upon any road to California Eleven Of the %
who voted against postpOnement were Antl-Le- |
compton men. Thus was another recommendation |
