| [From the Alexandria Sentinel of Sept. 81
The following letter from President
Buchanan has been handed to us for pub
LEGATION. It is written in reply to one
from Governor Smith, calling the atten-
ton Of Mr. Buchanan to remark mado
by Mr.. Douglas in his speech at Con-
cord. The remark itself is quoted by
MIR Buchanan in the letter below, thus
rendering unnecessary any preliminary
statement or explanation. We will add
that, while much regretting that there
should be occasion for such letter, we
are glad to give it to the public as evil
dencing spirit worthy of President.
and a course of conduct which will ad-
dress itself to the generous sympathies
Of the people:
WASHINGTON, Aug II 1860
My DEAR SIR: | have received your
favor s&the 9Th inst. enclosing printed
extracMrom the recent speech of Judge
Douglas at Concord. You inform me
you expect to be at the Charlottesville
Convention, and I" would DO glad to
know something of the interview refer
red to in that speech. According to
this extract, the Judge states:
Z" The President told me if I did not
obey him and vote to force the Lecomp-
ton constitution upon the people against
their will, he would take off the head of
every friend had in office"
1t is unnecessary to quote the alleged
reply of the Judge.
Surely there must have been some
mistake in the report Of the speech, be-
cause | never held any such conversation
with Judge Douglas, nor any conversa-
ton whatever afIording the least color Or
| pretext for snch a statement. 1t was
not in my nature to address such threat
ening and insulting language to any gem
tleinan. Besides, | have not removed
one in ten of his friends, and not one. Of
his relatives. Even among those of his
friends, who have rendered themselves
prominently hostile to the measures of
the Administration majority still re-
main in Office.
| might add that have never held a
political conversation with Judge Doug
las on this or any other subject since the
day my first Annual Message Of the Sth
December, 1857, was read in the Senate;
and | did not transmit the Kansas con-
stitution to Congress until the % Feb
ruary, 1858, the question of slavery not
having been decided by vote Of tho
people until 2lst December, 1857.
Nov, ny dear sir, in writing thus to
you | have transgressed rule which |
had prescribed for myself not to contra
dict any statements assailing my public
conduct and character until after the con-
clusion Of my term Of office. A state
ment, however, comes with such force
from senator Of the United States, who
is one of my constitutional advisers, aud
this, too, in published speech delivered
! by him in his canvass for the highest
elective Office in the world, that deem
the present case proper exception.
Yours, very respectfully,
JAMES BUCHANAN.

Tue meeting Of the Bell and Everett associa-
ton ct their hall on the corner Of High and Cav

Ing which has been held there. The room was
well filed, and although many adherens OF the
other political parties were present, order and
genera good nature prevailed, Col. w hitely Of
Maryland, was introduced by Mr.. Tenney and de-
livered an address which was conceded by his
hearers to be one Of the ablest efforts Of the cam
paing We cannot even give an abstract Of his
remarks without making this report too long. He
denounced fanaticism and sectionslism whether at
the North or at the South, charged the Democratic
party with producing the present troubles, and
said that TO defeat the Republicans those opposed
to the election Of Lincoln must concentrate on
and vote Of thanks to him was passed BY the
association. Mr.. VIM. J. Geary four former
townsman, now Of yirginia) being Loudly called
for, came forward and was greeted with hearty
applause. He spoke in his usual facy style, or
rather excelled himself aud kept his audience in
roar Of laughter. The Democrats and Republi-
cans In the room could not resist his good nsturcd
bits, but were carried with the current. At the
conclusion of his remarks, Mr.. Tenney proposed
three cheers for him, which were given with
will; snd the Association adjourned until next
Thursday evening at * O'Clock. ID
We regret to learn that the Rev. J. r Aiken.
assistant pastor Of Trinity (Catholic) Church, is
