Ex-President Buchanans Letter

We print in to.days COLUMBIA DEMO.
GRAFT the letter Of Ex President Buchanan
in reply to the late publication of General
Scott, relative to the last months of the
late Administration. The letter is an
able one, and it relieves its author of much
Of the odium which partisan rancor and
detraction have heaped upon him. This
is not the time for fair and impartial his.
tory OF Mr.. Buchanan's Administration
1t will require other men and other times
to do it justice, whether that justice be
complete vindication or condemnation. -
Our bGliefis, however, that the faithful
historian will record the fact that what
has been termed the imbecility of the last
few months of the Administration was
thoughtful comprehension of the awful
conflict in which we are engaged. The
National LteilSgewcey remarks:
"In the paper now placed before our
readers, the venerable ex-Presideut shows
that he was not unmindful of the obliga.
tions placed upon him by the trying events
through which he was compelled to pass
in the clsoing months of his Administra-
ton, and he clearly states the considera.
ton of public duty under which he acted
as also the limits under which he had
power to act at all. AT the same time he
places in clear light some facts which
from the commanding position he ther
held at the head of affairs, he is able tc
present in collocation that redeems hi
conduct from certain misapprehension
which may have beeen entertained at th
time by observers less cognizant of all the
circumstances which made up 'the situa-
ton, as well civil as military, at the out
break of secession"

We omit the 18th district, (Bailey's,) the
18th, Clracy's,) and the 18th, (Halc's, ),
because the votes cast,fo the candidates
were not strictly party votes. This ma
jOrity, if it had been properly divided
would have elected eight more Congress-
men, and left enough to carry a ninth il

pa~ The draft has fallen upon many
citizens of this county without means and
with large families, and the latter must
suffer unless they have the aid of friends.
We earnestly call the immediate attention
of every generous man to cases of this
kind. They should be sought out and
ample means provided to prevent want or
suffering without delay. 1t would be a
disgrace to any township not to make i'm
mediate provisions for such families as re
quire the public aid.
