2 Presidential.

The history of Bates of Missouri, whom some
old fogies are asking to have nominated for
President, is well told in the following from the
New York Courier and Enquirer.
L" In 1856, the Republican Party carried all
the Free States this side of the Rocky noun
taius, except. Pennsylvania, New Jersey, lndi-
ana and Illinois. And this too, with power
full third Party in the field with Edward Bates
OF Missouri at its head, running Mr.. fillmore as
a candidate for the Presidency ,--not for the
purpose of electing him, but with the avowed
object of defeating the Republican Party and
electing Buchanan. Thus in Philadelphia, Mr..
Buchanan personally promised the most impor-
tant foreign mission to leading "Old line
Wing" provided his friends would get up a
Fillmore ticket and draw of ten thousand votes
from the Republicans They did SO and thus
the Fillmore men defeated the Republican Party,
and succeeded in electng Buchanan, which was
the sole object in nominating Mr.. fillmore by
the Convention OF which Mr.. Bates was the
Presiding Officer. Now however, this matter
is all changed. Mr.. Bates very sincerely re-
grets having made Mr. Buchanan President,
and is acting with the Republican Party.

The Democracy of the country have stood on
the Cincinnati platform, they stand there
now. The planks and timbers of that platform
are as sound as when it was constructed, in
1856; and If there is need of few spikes to
fasten down any loose planks, or to add new
plans-or an inclined plane--whereby to slide
off the disunionists the 600 delegates assembled
at Charleston in April next will be very likely
to know what repairs-if any-are necessary,
without any outside interference Rutland
Courier.
The Courier thus proposes " to add new
plank or an inclined plane " on which to " let
the democracy slide" at Charleston, but we
suggest that the somer saults which little Dug.
is now turning, can be rather dangerously &C.
complished on an " inclined plane" and may
have the unpleasant effect to turn the tables and
let him slide. At any rate, the inclined plane
is good suggestion, for with tho election of a
Republican President next Fall it will aid won
derfully in easing the fall.

SENATOR Stewards GREAT SPEECH dis
union Democracy are very much troubled be-
cause Senator Seward did not cay some foolish
things, out Of which they could make capital
for the Presidential election. For want OF par.
tiOulars, they abuse it by the wholesale. While
on the other hand, it is receiving those high
eneomiums from theRepublicans and independ-
ent and neutral press, which itsauthOr so richly
merits. Mr.. Seward may net be the man for
President, 'but for Secretary of State, in Re-
publican Cabinet, there could be no more judi
cious counsellor

INDIGNATION LETTERs.-Nearly every mail
brings us letters some mails half dozen, from
prominent men III the State, who wish to ex-
press their Indignation in regard to some polti-
cal questions-or rather candidates--now at
issue in theStato and Nation. Two of these
letters-vthe more mild in tone-we give else
where; the others, referring to candidates for
Governor in particular, have 80 wide range,
and are. 50 decided, sometimes dealing in per-
sOnalities, thatfwe are fearful they would cause
the people to lose confidence in all cur promi-
nent men. We therefore decline publishing
1t IS sufficient to say that there are many prom
inent men opposed to Mr.. Holbrook nomna-
ton, and, as far as we have heard, many are in
favor of Mr.. Fairbanks, while many express a
wish to. see some younger man placed before
the people. We are happyto receive these
communications, as it shows a determination of
the people to be up and doing IN the matter as
to who is to be Governor.

Investigation.

Mr.. Hood of N. Y, introduced resolution
before the House on Tuesday, which caused a
wonderful deal of Auttering among the disunion
Democracy. The resolution passed is as fol-
lows
Whereas, A Representative from the State of
Pennsylvania, MIR. Hickman, did, ON the 18th
day Of December last, on the floor of this House,
make the following statement AS Mr..
Buchanan could not purchase me, 80 | cannot
be purchased by others. have already been
offered more than | am worth, and refused to
sell myself at that and on the same day Mr..
Haskin, a Representative from the State of
New York, and on the fool of this House,
made the following statement, in answer to
charge of being one Of q mercenary band LET
me say that NO one knows better than MIR.
Buchanan himself the utter falsehood of this
charge; for he endeavored, by threats and
seduotions of his patronage, without effect, to
draw true men away from the path of duty -
and on the 18th day of December, Mr.. Adrain,
Representatives from New Jersey on the floor
of this House, made the following statement
I" During the Lecompton controversy was ap-
preached in such manner as to show corrup
ton on the part Of the Administration. And
Whereas, Such statements imply an interior
ence by the Executive Department of the
Government with the action and rights Of this
House, incompatible with the dignity and purity
of its legislation, in derrogatioh Of the privileges
of this body, and destructive Of the public
confidence in our Legislation and Government;
Therefore
Resolved, That Commute of FIVE be appoint
cd by the Speaker to inquire and investigate
whether any improper attempts have been or
are being made by any person connected with
the present Executive Department Of the
Government, or by any person acting with their
advice or consent, to influence the action Of this
House or any Of its members upon any question
or measure upon which it has acted, or which
it has or may have had under consideration,
directly or indirectly, by any promise or offer,
or intimatlon of employment, patronage, office
favors, or reward, under the Government, or
under any Department, officer or servant there
of, to be conferred or withheld, in considera-
ton of any vote given, withheld, or to be with
held, with power to send for persons and papers,
examine witnesses, and leave to report at any
time by bill or otherwise.

STATE AND DISTRACT CONVENTIONS. We trust
our readers will keep in mind the call FIR Stale
Convention fo the election of delegates to Chi
cago. The Convention is TO be held Mt Mortified,
on the Sd of April. The LIST and Sd District
Conventions are to be held It the same time and
place. The I'd District is to be held at W. R.
Junction on the 4th. Among those named for
delegates at large, we have heard the names of
Col. Needham, of Hartford, Hon. E D. Mason,
of Richmond, Mr.. Hodges, of Rutland, Mr.
Baxter, of Derby, Mr., Willard of Montpelier
There are to be iour delegates at large and two
from each District We hope that cool headed
men, men of good acquaintance with polite i
affairs, and in whose Judgment we can trust,
will be selected. We want no pledges, no in
structions in favor Of any man, but men whose
Judgment will lead them to acquesce in the
nomination of such men as will the best secure
the success oftrue Republican principles as soon
as it shall be known who they are.

have one great and important object in view
the destruction Of this corrupt and corrupt
ing Sham Democratic party. l think much OF
Fessenden, Seward, Banks, Cameron and others,
and more especially of Sumner, but, on the
whole, should, think, come to the conclusion
indicated. I know not what the State Conven-
ton, to be holden at Mortified on the Sd of
April, will do, but hope they will take care
full, candid, deliberate and impartial view of all
these matters, and decide judiciousiy
As to your paper, it is much improved in
size and matter. Yours truly,
R.. MARSH.
We do not, of course, wish to be understood
as saying that the reelection of Mr.. Fairbanks
is the only one fit to be made, for we are aware
that there are several other worthy gentlemen
upon whom that mark of honor might fall with
appropriateness, but the question is practically
between the nomination of two men-Mr. Fair
banks and Mr.. Holbrook-and the contest is
narrowing down to that. and while it is SO,
with no agency of ours, all we have to do is to
select between the two evils, and insist upon the
least. There is no Disgusting the fact that all
Anti-Slavery men, Free Democrats and Ameri-
can, will not willingly acquiesce in any arrange
ment to promote man Of Mr.. Holbrook's po-
sition.
