BUCHANAN'S LETTER.
WASHINGTON in

" ASliINGION, July 1901.
Ny Dear Sir Il duly received your letter
Of the 28th ult., on Friday last, and read it
to the Cabinet then in session. The views
which it contained were not calculated to as
sure US Ct your success, though we did not
despond; hence you may judge with what
satisfaction we received an account of the
proceedings of the National Democratic Con
ventlon held at Lecompton on the Sd inst.
The point on which your success depends is
the submission Of the Constitution to the peo
pie Of Kansas; and by the people, mean,
and l have no doubt you mean, the actual
bona fde residents who have been long enough
in the Territory to identify themselves with
its fate The Legislature determined three
months as the period of residence to entitle
individuals to vote for members of the Con
vention, and if the Convention should think
to adopt the same period, to entitle individ.
uais to vote for or against the constitution, it
appears to me this would be reasonable.
On the question Of submitting the Constitu-
tion to the bona fde residents of Kansas, /
am willing to stand or fall. 1t is the princi-
pie of the Kansas Nebraska bill the princi
pie OF popular sovereignty, and the principle
a. the foundation of all popular government
The p,,,re 1t Is discussed the stronger it will
become. Sh,,"ld the Convention Of Kansas
auopt thls principie, a. Vim oe "ea'Ieu mar mon
iously, and with the blessings OF Providence,
you will return triumphantly troa.mn your ar
duous, important and responsible station.
The structures of the Georgia and Missis
sippi Conventions will then pass away and be
speedily forgotten. In regard to Georgia,
eur news from that State is becoming better
every day. We have not yet had the time
to hear much from Mississippi. Should Won
answer the resolution Of the I,ttar ,rc,,I5
advise you to make the great principle of the
submission of the Constitution TO the bona
.fde residents of Kansas conspicuously prom,
inent On this you will be irresistible.
With the question Of climate every person is
acquainted, aud the more you insist upon this
the more will our opponents urge that we are
violating the principe of non interference at
the foundation of the Kansas and Nebraska
Oil. 1t is strange ihat people at distance,
WI" nave mo practical acquaintance with the
condition Of Kansas, should undertake TO be

The Democrat and Judge Hale.

The Democrat is in trouble just now,
the exposures of the villainies and corrup-
tious Of the Buchanan administration rem
dering it necessary to do something to-
wards saving the onion" and it there
fore attacks Judge Hale. Hear it:
N5ttiay to Say.-The opposition papers of
this district are as dumb as oysters on Judge
Hale'S vote in favor of Blake's Abolition res
olution in the House Of Representatives. at
Washington. Come, come gentlemen, there's
no use in attempting 10 shirk the question.
There it is in black aud white, and its the
meanest kind Of cowardice to attempt to eyade
it. Do you approve Or condemn Judge Hale's
vote? Let's hear from you.
Well, let US see what was Clark's resolu-
tion which has awakened the Democrat to
such an ecstacy. Here it is:
Whereas, The chattelizing Of humanity
and the holding of persons as property is con
trary to natural justice of the fundamental
principles of our political system. and is no
trrousiy repr.ach to our country through
nHt the civilized world, and a serious hind
drance to the progress IF republican liberty
among the nations Of the earth ;-therefore
He"otced, That the Committee on the Ju
dietary be- and the same be hereby instructed
to eaqu'e into tic erpedieacy of reporting
bill giving freedom to every human being.
and interdictiog slavery wherever Congress
has the Constitutional power to legislatc on
the subject
Now if it is "abolition" to advocate or
vote for a resolution to inquire into the er-
Pediency of giving freedom to every hu-
man being acherever Congress has the con-
stitutiona1 porer, then is the editor Of the
Democrat enc Of the vilest abolitionists liv
ing, for he is continually prating about
slavery according Ia the Constitution
The truth Is the resolution amounts to
nothing at all, as any one who can spell a
b alb can see, and to call Judge Hale to ac,
count for this and pronounce it an abolit,
ion vote, is little smaller than very
small potato.

wiser than those on the spot. It Is, beyond
all question, the true policy to build up
great Democratic party there to maintain the
Slavery and Free State Democrats, and II the
majority should be against Slavery, TO obtain
such Constitutional provisions as will secure
the rights of Shareholders in Missouri ana
other States, and maintain all the laws guard
ing the Just rights of the South.
You are right in your conjecture as to the
cause Of Judge Williams appointment. we
supposed it would be peculiarly acceptable to
YOURSELF and that he might aid 10 carrying

Colonel Cumming has been appointed GoV-

Buchanan's Hypocrisy Exposed.


The Covode investigating committee
has been bringing to light some rich dis
closures respecting Buchanan and his un-
ions savers, and disturbed the equanimity
Of the President so much that it is said he
has threatened to veto any appropriation
for paying the committees expenseg.-
Among other facts brought to light is the
shameful and disgraceful one that Buchan-
an himself, his Attorney General, and 9th
ers high in Office personally superintended
the distribution of corruption funds.
WASHINGTON, April IS, 1860
Governor Walkers appearance before
the Covode Committee, this morning, Great
ed a great sensation. He spoke about two
hours, was easy, cool, and collected, and
laid bare his whole relation to Mr. Buchan-
an on the Kansas question with master
hand. 1t ought to be rccollected that the
recent course of Governor Walker has not
given satisfaction to the rebels. They re-
garded him as having caved in to the ban-
disn,nents OF the Administration, and they
have always demanded that he should JUS
tify them and himself by exposing Mr.
Buchanan's pretended prjrate' instructions
to him on the Kansas question: TnCngh
free in letting the contents of this letter be
known to his friends, he refused to make
it known to the public until the proper
TN arrived. This time has arrived, and
Walker stands vindicatcd to his country and
to his friends.

testimony Of several witnesses who had
testified to the contents of the letter shown
to them in 1858 by Governor Walker, un-
der no confidential restrictions but to vim.
dicate himself from the charge of violating
the Presidents instructions in regard to his
official action in Kansas One Of these
witnesses swore positively that, few davs
since, he had mentioned to Judge Black
Attorney General of the United States
the existence of this letter, and stated that
Gov. Walker had read it to him. Judge
Black, the witness testified, went into vi
olent rage, and declared that no such letter
existed that if il had, Gov Walker would
have published it long ago; that if he at

laid thy little form in the grave to mingle

that when Christ shall appear, thou shalt ap
