of the times require the aid and counsel of

ing that your familiarity with the political
issues which have been prominently before

qualities you, in an eminent degree, for
giving to the country history of the ad-

acted upon by the Congress Of the U. S.,
during the period you acted as our repre-
sentative. Especially do we desire that you
give the facts as to the actionsand policy Of
the Democratic party with respect to the
Territories of the U. S., stating, at the
same time, your views at length as to the
unhappy difficulties which have sprung up
Of late 10 the Democratic party not, how

strictly to the points mentioned in this CON-
munlcation ; but that you extend publica.

Hon. j. II, Harris.

Being absent in Eastern Virginia on last
Monday week, we had not the pleasure Of
listening to the speech Of this gentleman,
delivered at the Courthouse on that day
We have, however, heard it spoken of as
an able and effective effort-sound, logical
and telling-and fully sustaining bis repu-
tation as public speaker.

we'd intact" Does any patriot North or
South, East or West, desire more on that
point p? It further declares that 'she original
conspacts ofthe Consultation, aciU be main
TUNED inviolate." Does any man ask or
desire more than the ful6lment of the Con-
stitutional compacts and provisions? And In
conclusion the resolution declares, that by
the uniform observance of this democratic
principle of nou-interferenco, 'the pcrpetu-
iity and enpans,om Of this Union, insuredto
its utmost capacity cfembracing IN peace,
and harmony, every future american State
that mag be constituted or onne1ed aciM
republican form, of government o aH
By strict adherence to the great princi-
pie of non interference, wonders were to be
achieved. Its adoption did work wonders
in 1856. It barmonized and united the
great National Democratic party. 1t in
sured the triumphant election of the candi-
dates of that party, and by their success the
rights of the States have been preserved in
tact, and the Union insured to the present
time, at least. If the principles of the par
ty were right in 1856, are they not right
in 1860? From the glorious results achiev-
ed under and through them heretofore, we
might safely rely upon them in the future.
From the nature Of man, old age, his liza
biity to change, and subsection to death, it
is necessary frequently to select new candi-
dates and new public servants. but princi-
pie being immutable, it is by no means nec-
essary to have ''new platform, or set of
principles, for any new candidate. er
might, if time permitted, sustain these
views, by extracts from the speeches of dis
tingushed gentlemen, members ofthe Senate
and House of Representatives Of the United
States, delivered at the time the Kansas and
Nebraska Bill was under consideration, and
subsequently, But forbear.
In conclusion, permit me to express my
sincere thanks for the compliment you have
paid me, in calling for ali expression of my
views, upon the issues involved in this con-
test. The relation Of constituent and rep
resentatiye which has existed for ten years.
between us-the confidence you have repo-
scd in me-and the cordial, hearty and
generous support, which You have given me
on all occasions, will prove sufficient apollo
gy for the length of this reply. gs ta.
With great respect,
am truly your friend,
