various other sections have had their

DIR. Buchnnan,s Letter of Acceptance.

We have before Us an official pamphlet
copy of the proceedings of the Cincinnati Con-
venton On the concluding pages we find Mr..
Buchanan's letter accepting the nomination for
President. Speaking of the Kansas-Nebraska
Bill, and "on the question ofdomestc slavery
Ae in that letter utters the following language
The recent legislation of Congress respecting
domestic slavery, derived, as it has bee-, from
the original and pare fountain oflegittmate political
polrer, THE WILL OF THE MAJORITY promises ere
long to allay the dangerous excitement This
legislation is founded upon principles as ancient
as free government itself, and in accordance
with them, has simply declared that the people
ofa Territory, like those of State, shall decide
for themselves whether slavery shall or shall
not exist within their limits.
The Nebraska-Kansas Act does no more
than give the force of law to this elementary
principle of self government; declaring it TO be
" the true intent and meaning of this act not TO
legislate slavery into any Territory State, nor
to exclude it therefrom; but to Lave the people
thereof perfectly free to form and regulate their
domestic institutions in their own way, subject
only to the Constitution of the United States"
This principle will surely not be controverted by
any individual of any party protesting devotion
to popular government. gss5- Besides how vain
and illusory would any other principle prove in
practice in regard to the Territories This is
apparent from the fact admitted by all, that af-
ter Territory shall have entered the Union and
then exist which could prevent it from either
abolishing or establishing slavery, as the case
may be, according to its sovereign will and
pleasure

When a politician turns complete somer-
sault or abandons position long maintained
for one opposed, and then attempts to prove 'ha'
he has acted with perfect consistency, he gene
raIlv makes a perfect failure, and wins derision
for his trouble. This is the present condition
of Senator Latham. When he was nominated
for Governor last year, be declared that be was
a nonu,ar sovereignty Democrat, and in favor Of
non-iutervention Indeed in his recent address
to the Democracy, be says:
"Iam for non on-intervention both by Congress
and by Territorial Legislature"
And yet in the very same address he says he
is in favor of Congressional Intervention with
the question of slavery in the Territories, in
certain contingency. Hear him:
Each citizen, having coequal.rights with all cit
liens 10 the enjoyment and protection OF his pro-
perty in the common territory of the country,
supporting such Territory by taxation thereon,
is entitled, when Territorial Legislature fails,
and the Courts are unable to provide, to such ac-
ton by Congress as will secure him such con-
stitutional rights.
That is. in one breath he says he is in favor
of non-intervention both by Congress and a
a Territorial Legislature" and in the next he
says he is in favor of Intervention by Congress

Of all the mad schemes that ever could be

provided in the Constitution for the rendition of

foul stain, however, will be removed by the peo-
pie at the polls in November next, at which
time we hope to be able to announce the fact
that Oregon has rolled up two thousand major

doing give final rebuke to those secessonsts

Report of the Navy Department.

The Secretary OF the Navy reports in
favor Of converting eight shi ps, of-the-line
into first class steam ships, which he says
can be done at a cost of 1888, 900 each.
The other ships of-the-line would not paz
for the expense, being old and nearly used
up. The sailing frigates Sabine and San
tee are TO be left as they are, and the re-
naming six sailing frigates converted into
steam sloops- -of,war, and finally into store
ships. New sloops- ofwar should DE built
to replace those built prior to 1910. The
present condition Of the active navy is then
reviewed and commended. The Secretary
reports in favor of screw steamers, and
against sidewheel-steamers, in case of war.
An increase Of the navy is demanded, og
the ground that we have now a navigating
interest of FIVE million tons, and import and
export trade Of six or seven million of dol.
lars, and coasting trade Of equal extent
and value. Al additions to the navy
should employ steam power. Attention il
called to the fact that the Constitution pro-
hibits individual States from creating ma
Wy Of their own. Estimates are submitted
for replacing all of the prominent navy
yards of the country in a condition Of full
activity. A high compliment is paid to
the efficiency and discipline of the Naval
Academy, under Capt. Blake. Figures are
given to show that the education Of the
pupils has improved. In the slave trade
twelve vessels have been captured this year
by the African squadron, and more than
5000 negroes rescued. A strong hiat is
then given that the slave trade can only
finally be suppressed by Engiand's enfoF-
cling her treaty of 1917 with Spain in ref.
erenee to Cuba, or the annexation of ca.
ba by the United States. The bill intro,
duced by Jefferson Davis prohibiting the
purchase Of patented articles for the army
and navy is next attacked as injurious to
the public ser7iee The Secretary recon
mends that he be given power to p9Toha,e
butter, cheese, -four, and tobacco for the
navy by private purchase, and not by ad-
vertised contract. The present state and

how much they remembered of his COM

and number of verses were read and
commented on in similar clear and intel

After a long interval, when the young
mind had time to digest its food, the peda-
gogue called upon one Of the youngest boys,
