nesses which / have above referred to, it is
quite possibie-aye, quite probable-that
e,and perhaps most voted the Republican
ticket. Indeed, it is by no means clear, Or
without doubt, that the fraud charged was
not perpetrated on the ballot box in Chat
field. No person can have attentively lis
tened to the trial without feeling that the
matter is enveloped in dark suspicion, which
is is painful and humiliating for any good
citizen to be compelled to entertain; at
the same time have no hesitancy whatever
in saying, that the evidence offered is not so
clear, indubitable, or convincing, as to
prove the fraud charged; therefore, Judgment
must be for plaintiff. 1t will be observed
that J. have not, in deciding the case, re-
ferred at all to the rebutting testimony of
plaintiff, for did not deem that it in any
manner, strengthens his case. would say
that there appeared nothing during the trial,
to implicate or cast the least suspicion up
on the Judges of Election, or any of them.
The cases of Bristol Us. Murrell, and
Hawkins Us. Colby, are similar to this in
every particular.

TRUMBULL, of Illinois, great free soil chief
when pushed to the wall by JOHNSON, of
Arkansas, backed out and professed himself
not an abolitionist of the Slavery but an
abolsher and extirpater of negroes. We
quote:
Mr.. Trumbull explained that it was an alb
stract truth that all men were created equal;
but when we come to form governments and
organize society all persons don't have equal
rights.
Mr.. johnson asked him if Arizona were col.
onized and pulled up altogether with free col.
cred people, would he be willing to admit it as
State upon an equal footing with the other
States of the Confederacy?
Mr.. Trumbull answered that he would not
admit any community applying to become
members of this Confederacy by the admission
of which he supposed he was endangering the
peace of the Union itself. In his Judgment
there was distinction between the white and
black races made by Omnipotence. He did not
believe these two races could live happily and
pleasantly together, enjoying equal rights,
without one domineering over the other. There.
fore he advocated the'pOlicy of separating these
races by adopting a system to rid the country
of the black race as it becomes free. He would
say he should not be prepared, under the exist
ing state of things, to admit as a sovereign
State into this Union community of negroes,
nor Indians either.

Appeals to the President from Decisions
Of the Departments.

As applications are frequently made to
the President of the United States by claim-
ants who consider themselves aggrieved by
the decisions of the heads of departments,
and who, therefore, appeal to him for a re-
versal of those decisions, it is deemed proper
to publish the following letter addressed by
the President to highly respectable bank
ing firm, which sets forth bis reasons for
declining to entertain such appeals:
WASHINGTON, Dec. IL, 1859.
GENTLEMEN-I have received your letter
of the 9th inst, containing formal appeal
to me from decision of the Secretary of
the Treasury against you On two points -
1st, his refusal to permit you to depost at
San Francisco any portion of the government
loan taken by you under the proposals of
the Secretary of the 18th of December,
1858; and I'd. his refusal to refer the ques-
tion to the Attorney General
In answer, | have to inform you that an
appeal does not lie to the President from
the decisions Of the heads of the different
Executive departments. This has been set
tied both by judicial decisions and by the
practice OF the government, including that
OF the present administration. Their acts
and decisions are the acts and decisions of
the President, for which he is held RESPONSE
BILE; and they are his in fact in all cases of
difficulty and Importance. 1t is for this,
besides other reasons, that cabinet cousulta-
tions are held twice in each week, where
questions of public interest, as they arise,
are canvassed and decided. If the President
were bound to hear appeals from the heads
OF the different departments in all cases
where claimants consider themselves ag.
grieved, it would be impossible for him to
undergo the labor. In that case, every
claiment dissatisfied with the decision of any
department might appeal to him for redress;
and he would be obliged to re-examine the
documents aud re-hear the arguments which
had been submitted to such department, and
either affirm, reverse or modify It's decision.
This would entirely change his intimate re-
latlons with his confidential advisers, con-
verting them into inferior courts and himself
into superior court of errors and appeals.
Besides, there. would be no equality between
private parties and the government. When
the decision of the head of department was
in favor of the claimant, it would be final;
but, If it were against the claimant, he
would be entitled to an appeal to the Pres
ident. The truth is, such an appellate juris-
diction would render it impossible for the
President to discharge bis high duties to the
country, and would resolve his office into
tribunal to hear and determine private claims
in the last resort.
Nor is there the least necessity for any
such jurisdiction. Congress, by the act of
February "a, 1855, established Court of
Claims for precisely such cases as you have
presented. TO that Court, or to Congress,
beg leave respectfully to refer you.
JAMES BUCHANAN.
