fire. eaters succeed in impressing on the Dem
ocratic Convention their principles and con-
victions so strongly as to secure represent
alive of the new doctrine of protection to
slavery in the Territories, the course of the
Republicans will be clear They will be able
to enter the canvass with so affecting an
appeal to Northern sentiment as to remove all
necessity of catering to Southern conservative
feeling. They may safely nominate Seward,
Chase, or any other staunch embodiment of
anti slavery, and may fearlessly and conf
IDENTIFY claim exclusive Northern support We
believe that we run no hazard whatever in
asserting that not one single free State, with
the possible exception of California, will ever
vote for the Congressional protection to
slavery in the Territories and, if the Admin

Extraordinary Dlsciosdge Of Pres
fdeMtiRi PerfidyS

Ill as We-!had come to think OF Mr..
Buchanan, few were prepared to believe him
capable of the perfidy which is now proven IN
his own handwriting and over his own sAg-
nature! The whole world will read his letter
to Gov. Walker, now produced before Mn
Covode's Committee of Investigation, WITH
amazed indignation. +
This letter was most Unexpectedly drawn
out. Mr. Z. B. Schanabel, of Pennsylf anla,
testified that he had seen letter frq4n the
President to Gov Walker, urging a bon "a .tde
submission of the Kansas Constitution Il the
resident voters of the Territory. Attorney
General Black denied the existence of &ny
such letter; denied that the President had
ever written such letter and charged that,
| if Gov. Walker pretended that he ever recei. ed
such letter, it was his duty to produce it,
&C., &C.; wHEREUPoN, Gov. WALKER GOES
BEFORE THE COMMITTEE, PRODUCES THE LETTER,
PROVES 1T TO BE IN TIE WRITING OF THE
PRESIDENT, and explains the circumstances
connected with it.
The letter lin another column) is pregnant
one-one which stultifies and confounds the
President and his Cabinet, vindicates Gov.
Walker, and places the people Of Kansas and
the Republican Party, upon an eminence from
which they can survey the Domain whose
Freedom has been assured, with exultant
emotions. Tl '-.'
Gov. Walker, after the failure of others to
force Slavery into Kansas, was sent there,
instructed to protect its citizens in their efforts
at elf:government, that the Territory might
become, under his auspices, a Democratic Free
State Gov. Walker, in reply to letter
stating the difficulties he encountered,
received from the President an official letter
fully endorsing the line of policy Walker was
pursuing, and distinctly adopting the idea
that the climate of Kansas untitled tho
Territory for Slavery
And yet, in the face Of these instructions
and this letter, the Administration subse-
quently framed a Constitution at Washington,
and sent it to Kansas by Calhoun, for adoption
by the Legislature, without its submission 70
the People! Failing, by the fidelity of Gov
Walker, and his Secretary, Stanton, in allow
ing fraudulent votes to be canvassed, these
officers were removed, and the English
Swindle" was put through Congress by means
as corrupt as the "Swtndle."
And here, for moment, we leave President
Buchanan, his Cabinet and his Party -

How PENNSYLVANIA WAS CARRIED IN 1856
George Pitt, of Philadelphia, Treasurer Of
the Democratic State Committee Of Pennsyl-
wanna, in 1855, has testified, before the Cor
ruption Investigation Committee of Congress,
that he received and paid out $4,000 that
year for eectioneering purposes. 1t was all
paid out upon the written order Of Col.
Forney. Of the gross amount, he received
$1S,500 from. Collector Schell, of New York,
and $40, 900 from ". c. N. Swift, of New
Bedford, the latter sum with the understanding
that Swift was to be assisted in obtaining
heavy contracts from the Government for live
oak timber It vii, be remembered that Mr..
Swift did obtain such contracts, and that the
timber advertised for happened to DC just such
az he had on hand and also that he was the
highest and not the lowest bidder for the
Supplies.

perhaps, be induced to take Dickinson in
preference to Douglas, to prevent the contem-
plated bolt of the South; but, if the South
vote on the platform, which is probable
enough, then Douglas will have the best
chance.
All the New York delegates now deny that
they are for Douglas, and it is stated that
