sidered somewhat remarkable that the
President never protested against the
scope Of the investigation by the llouse
until he real the testimony given before
Messrs. Haskin'S and Covode's Commit
tee. All the evidence thus far which. in
any way. duplicates him with privity to
the use Of money in elections. anil the
distribution of patronage with that oh
iect, was reluctantly extortsd from his
own political friends. and from persons
who enjoyed his confidence and intimacy.
Some Of them have openly bOastel Of not
telling half they knew. AMI others testi-
fed with mental reservations. The char.
ges madc by the Administration organs,
that Mr. Covode's COMMITTEES were in
vesiigating without specific aim. are false
Tins far they have addressed themSelve,
exclusively to the allegations contained in
the Presidents Pittsbnrg letter. and find
them fully sustained by the corruptions o.
his own Administration. Anonymous
letters have been addressed to Mr.. Co
voie, threatening MIN AMI Dir. Sherman
with assassination. unless they desist
from these inquiries.

probation of the Presidents Message by

FoRNEY on BUcHANAN's "TREAsoS."-
We extract the following from pnnSent
article in the Philadelphia Press, on what
it terms "the great treason" OF the pres
ent Administration
II, in the midst OF this canvass, any
one had dared to prophecy that before the
close of Mr.. Buchanan's Administration
the two Governors of the two Territories
of Kansas and Nebraska. appointed by
himself, would interpoSe their veto in or
der to defeat the law of the Legislatures
ofthose respective Territories aboiiNhIng
slavery, he would have been denounced
as an enemy and riiiculeJ Us an impos-
tor. And yet what have we seen =
Within the last few weeks Samuel Nc
dary, Governor of Kansas. and Samncl
w. Black, Governor of Nebraska, no
doubt instructed hy James buchanan and
his Cabinet, have come forward for the
purpose of giving a practical evidence
that the ten thousand pledges made in
the name Of Mr.. buchanan, in 1856, and
based upon his own voluntary com
initials, have all been falsilied. himself
leading the way. to show thar he did not
mean what he said. and that his whole
object was to deceive and to betray the
popular sentiment. The excuse for this
treason to principle is as bad as the acS
itself. The President and his mymldonS
not content with flying in the face OF hit
record, and the record of the whole Dem
ocratic party il 1856. now set up the
monstrous allegation that the Supreme
Court Of the United States has decided
that Slavery exists in the Territories, and
that, because it does so exist there, II
must be protected by the Executive. OF
by Congress. In the very face OF the
most authoritive declarations to the con-
trary, this i,lea is sought to be inierpoia-
lied into the Democratic creed: and the
yery men who do so are conscious that
they are putting gross insult upon the
/ Surreme Ceurt Of the United States, and
demoraliEmg that tribunal in the afec,
tons and confidence of the people.

The Breckinridgers in Council.

According to previous announcement the
Breckinridge Club was addressed last night at
Appolo Hall by DR. Sam'l Bard, one of Louisi-
anus most gifted sons. The sentiments utter
ed found o response in the heart ofevery Demo-
crat present. They breathed the purest spirit
fof Southernism, and the Hottest conceptions of
duty and honor. DR.. Bard is q strong and Wig
orous speaker, an original thinker, and also-
gether an able debater. Being thoroughly
posted in regard to the people, he elucidated
all his points with remarkable clearness and
precision. He fairly skinned the Small Giant.
He regarded his doctrines as obnoxious to the
South as those Of Lincoln, and expressed
amazement at seeing Southern men, of whom
better things might be expected, giving him
their support 1t was, in the opinion Of the
speaker. petty treason for Southern man to
support the principles of Douglas. The speak
er brought glad tidings from Louisana-said
that the State was as certain to 60 for Brock
inridge and Lane, as Mississippi, though not
by so large majority as the latter. There
was not respectable paper in the State sup
porting Douglas: there we've only four of any
kind that had his name at their mastheads.
After ridiculing the Bell-Everett ticket in his
happiest style, he sat down amid the applause
of his delighted audience.
He was frequently applauded during the de-
livery of his speech, and justly so, too, for we
consider his effort powerful one for the Demo-
cratic cause. We hope to hear from him again
pending the present canvass.

question: .......-

Hon ]. L. N. CURRY
Dear Sr-Your favor of the 9Th inst, has
just been received. You say that "there is a
good deal of speculation as to my preferences
for the candidates now before the country, for
the Presidency and Vice. Presidency, aud that
you ''would be glad, if not inconsistent with
my feelings, that would indicate them"
The office of Vice President is high posi-
ton, and ones nomination dor which, if ten.
dered me by united Democracy, upon pro-
per platform, am frank to say, would not
hWve declined.
Douglas, for the REASONS set forth in my letter
Of declension, and for others, which saidrn
that letter, would!not then impose. I differ
entirely with him on the Territorial question,
as set forth in my Letter 10 Mr.. Hudgine last
fall and as indicated by my vote on the Senate
resolutions, commonly called the "Davis reso-
lutions," which passed theiSenate ct the last
session Of Congress.

tatien Of having abandoned well-matured
opinions for the hope of obtaining, power and

publicly expressed, and my deeiension Of the
nomination for the Vice-President, would
have been a sufficient guaranty that In select

principles and usages to the party. The divs.
