the Democratic party; after Judge Dougl =
had spoken his first celebrated speech in the
Senate, and when the fact had beco.uc notori-

the principle to which we stood committed in
1856 was the threat oc secession coming from
certain politicians in three or four Southern
States. mot the people of these States, but

Buchanan, still anxious to maintain friendly
relations with his administration but was

PEALING ATTITUDE,

1851, and nat al anterriew Of some three
hours rtt Mr.. Bochqnaa on the first tay Of
The meeting q Congress- al its laic session.
What the Obi CT of that interview was may
be imagined from the fact that no other sub

parties, for, as have said, in these remarks.
and as the columns of the Press will show,
had no cause Of public difference with Mr..
Buchanan beyond that of Kansas. We had
long since ceased to talk about private mat
tiers. Not only did the conversation as de-
tailed take place. but, as the many friends to
whom related it after LETT the President s
mansion will remember, many other things
were omitted in the statement which gave at
Tarrytown. Among Others. the President
said TO me, lfyou and Walker and Douglas
will unite In support Of my Kansas policy

which is to come of on the 2lS; of December, >

laemory of Mr.. Buchanan will be stimulated
when he reads these sentences. As for the
Washington Union, whether it speaks for him
or not, in the above extract, am unable to
say. If it does, the memory of the President
is most defective.
AS 10 my offering advice to Mr. Buch anan,
| have only to remark: while Mr.. Wen
dell, Of the Washington Union, was unknown
in the political world, and Willie editors f
that same papers were coming calumnics
against the President, my advice and counsel
to him were not only gladly and kindly re-
ceived, hut earnestly solicited. | spoke as
freely to him at all times when he was not
President, as did after his eltcticn and his
installation.
Another fact in connection with this inter
view with the President may mention, and
1t Is this: that one or two days after it tan
spircd, returned to Philadelphia and whilst
sitting in my Office in Chestnut street, was
visited by an old friend from Southern New
York, to say that he had been desired by the
President to step over and see me, and to as
assure me that he (the Plesilent intended
to make his Kansas policy test upon the
Democratic party, and that no man would be
tolerated by his Administration who did not
approve and support this policy
