The Late Congressional EIec-
tiOns.

Where can Mr.. Buchanan look for con.
solation! The Free States have all repu-
dated him, even to Oregon. Texas has
elected Houston Governor, in opposition
TO the Administration candidate. Ken
lucky had but Two Opposition members in
the last Congress. To the next She has
elected five, half the delegation. Tennes-
see had only three Opposition members
out of ten in the last Congress. Now the
figures are reversed, the Opposition elect
ing seven and the Democracy but three
North Carolina bas increased from two to
fire, one half the delegation. Virginia had
a united ard sound Administration delega-
tion in the last Congressnow one is
avowed Opposition, and the balance shaky
on Buchanan. Thus blow has followed
blow from all quarters, Leeempton being
the sledge-ham,ner which has shirered Bu-
cbanan Democracy to splinters.- Clepe-

nopoyl. Without such monopoly slavery
cannot exist. Iregard the public lands as
trust nstbe hands ofthe government for
the benefit Of the people, and think they
should be- freely granted, in limited quanti-
ties to actual settlers only. This in my
opinion, would secure them against mon
opolists and speculators of all kinds; and
would settle them with a hardy and indus
trious population of .freemen. In regard
to slavery in the District of Columbia, |
answer that more than ten years ago l
had occasion to make public my opinion
of the duty of Congress TO abolish slavery
in the District of Columbia. The lapse OF
time has only served to strengthen that
opinion. The question as TO the power OF
Congress over the inter state Slave trade,
has, believe, been settled by the Supreme
Court.
You ask finally, for which of the Presi-
Dental candidates intend to vote at the
coming Presidential election. L had snp-
posed that my position was too well
known to render such question necessa-
~ uut as uc>iic- Do CoiitSaiiueut, anu
would scorn 10 receive vote obtained
through misapprehension, Twill answer
that / intend TO vote for Lewis Cass,
i regard the Presidential contest as IJ-
| ing between him and General Taylor, and
that Democratic votes thrown for Van Bu-
rem can serve no other purpose than to
elect General Taylor. In suca an issue /
cannot hesitate to choose the old and tried
Statesman, whose opinions are openly
avowed, and, believe, entirely safe whose
education, habits, location and associations,
must all incline him to detest slavery, who
is in no way interested in, or connected
with the institution; as against Gen. Tay-
lor, whose opinions are carefully concealed,
who was born, reared and educated in the
midst of it, who has now a large fortune
invested in slaves, and of whom his South
EN- friends assert, with his apparent ap-
probation, that upon this great paramount
question he ais of them, and for them,
and with them.n To which may be add
ed, without derogating from his well earn
ed military fame, his want of familiarity
with civil affairs, and the thick darkness
which rests upon his political principles.
These are my views, honestly entertain
ed, and whether they agree with the
1Bdtfalo Platform" can be seen by COM
parison.
Very Respectfully,
Your obedient servant.

Position Of MIR Dennison.

Our candidate for Governor has never
wasered nor changed on the question of
slavery.
A reference to the Journal of the Ohio
Senate during the Session of 1849-,50,
while the Compromise measures were still
pending in Congress viii show where Mr..
Dennison stood then. In a series of reso-
lutions introduced by kim in the Senate,
Feb l, 1850, he declared in the preamble
as follows:
lst. That slavery should, by the posi-
tive enaetments of Congress, be forever
excluded from all territories now owned, or
chat may hereafter be owned by the Uni
ted States.
I'd. That it is the duty of Congress to
use all proper and Constitutional means
for the abolition of slavery in the. District
of Columbia, at the earliest practicable pc
Rod. =
Sd. That Congress should without de-
lay, suppress and abolish, within the Dis
trict of Columbia, the slave trade IN every
form in which shat trade has presented or
can present itself. ....s5.,.s. RI.
4th. That no more effectual provision
ought to be made, by law, for the recap
ture restitution or delivery Of escaping
slaves; that it is by no means clear, that
sound policy does not demand the modifi-
cation of existing laws on that subject
In the resolutions of instruction to our
Senators and Representatives in Congress,
which follow, "they are hereby requested
10 conform their acts and votes to the
wishes of the people ofthis State, as those.
wishes have been defined in the foregoing
preamble"
That was Mr.. Dennisons position ten
years ago, and he stands now where he did
then.

The wise Letter working.

~
The son of Gov. Wise is one of the ed
itors and proprietors of the Richmond En-
quirer. He is the representative man of
the Democratic F. F. V. chivalry, and a
ire-eater who likes the smell of gunpow-
. der according to the code. The Eaguir-
er is famous for long leaders, always plain
spoken, and frequently highly spiced. On
the slavery question it t'agitates" fiercely
as the Boston "Liberator," but for more
slaves and more slave territory. Its edi-
tors are radid with the negrophobia.
The Wise letter of course claims the En-
quirer's special attention, and that paper
of the 10th devotes four columns to this
topic. The following paragraphs are spe-
cimen bricks:
"And now, Messrs. assassins and con-
spirators, what have you done2 Imprimis

~Tbe RESULT of the Primary Elections

TThe result of the Primary Elections
in this county on Saturday last, ,disap-
pointed a good masy. We never saw so.
many long faces in1ths Court House on any
one occasion as we saw there on Monday
last. when the Delegates assembled to
count out the votes. We have neser heard
as much dissatisfaction expressed with a
Ticket formed, as We have heard with that
made on Saturday last. We never heard
asmuch anxietyiexpressed, to know wheth-
er the Republicans were going. to have a
county ticket this fall or not. Democracy
in Holmes county is fairly stumped for
once.
The result of the Primary election
ought to satisfy some of the candidates
voted for, on that occasion, with their i'm
mense popularity. Others, when they
come to look back over the past ought to
feel degraded in their own esteem, at the
amount Of dirt they have licked off the
feet of men to get their votes, without get
ting them, finally. Others will think of
the amount of detestable wbiskey they
have poured down their own throats, and
caused to be poured down the throats- of
others, In order to be .shale fellows" with
class of men who wield the power in
this county, aud who put their votes into the
market as cattle are put into the shambles.
So common has the practice of "treating'
this class of men become in this county, that
to find out in advance, who will be the
successful man it is only necessary to fnd
out who has the most doggeries chartered.
As well undertake to fly as to get office
without coming down to this abominable
practice. We hear respectable, temperate
men of that party, acknowledging the ex-
istance of this state of things here, and
whilst they regret it, will yet walkup to the
polls regularly year after year. and vote
for men whose nominations have been pro-
cured by the free use Of whisky, and who
are notoriously urtit for the office they are
aspiring to. Many men that are profess
sors of Christianity, and will not touch or
