The iustrious SNoBBLE, whose reckless, i'm
pudent and indecent oratorical efforts were
secured to aid the Democratic cause in this
District, during the campaign of 1856, has
again turned up. Latterly, SSoBBLE has been
non est inrentuS. Before his star had waned he
managed that his admirng friends should bleed
financially in sums varying from $25 to $3.50.
Plainly, he had borrowed money from every
every political and personal friend in this Sec
tion, which money was to all intents and pur-
poses permanent investment. Rumor speaks,
too, of drafts drawn upon imaginary funds
which drafts were cashed by unsuspecting
friends, who found that they had paid dear for
even SNoBBLE's autograph.
We have often wondered what had become
of the iuimitable, the great SNoBBLE? We
could not believe he was hiding his light un-
der a bushcl We could not understand how
a Democrat Of his tranScendent services and
magniloquent abilities should be kept in the
back ground. We felt certain that sooner or
later SNoBBLE would break loose, and aStonish
a gazing world. But we had little expecta
ton that we should feel called upon to pay
him the tribute of our admiration. We did
not anticipate that good might flow even from
bis performances. But so it is, for, by some
means, the Covode Investigating Committee
on Wednesday had before it no less an import
ant parsonage, than our quondam acquaintance,
ELLIS B. SCUNABEL In the course of bis
testimony he stated he had seen and read the
celebrated letter from President BUCHANAN, to
Gov WALKER, dated 18th of July, 1851
The existence Of this letter and its contents
have long been known but for some reason
Gov. WALKER has refused to give it publicity

with Attorney General BLACK, in which that
functionary made use of certain expressions,
calculated to convey the idea that no such let

cause the Judgment of the American people
has already stigmatized his Administration as
the most vascillating, corrupt and dsgraceful
ever known in the history Of this Nation.
The obloquy of this disreputable tranSac
ton falls upon the miscalled Democratic party
The National Administration has been the
poor tool in the hands of the Slavery propa
gandists, whose efforts to crush the Free State
settlers in Kansas have caused so much o
violence and blood-shed in that territory
The Democratic party consents to these de
partures from principle and outragcs upon un
offending settlers, and upholds the instigator!
and perpetrators. 1t should be enough to sat
isfy any candid man that there is no safety
for the White Labor, so long as we have {
President controlled by the Slavery propagan
da of the South. The wrong and injustice
done WALKER and the people of Kansas, af
ter the advice contained in this letter, should
be warning to every Northern man, who il
deluded with the idea that a Southern dough
face, elected by Southern votes to the Presi
dcncy will not be found a willing and supple
tool in the hands of the Slave-Power.
