WAsHTNGToS, ID. c., Feb. 2, 1861.
Ny DEAR CAsE:-l talked with your brother
few days ago about your applying for the office
of Surveyor General for New Mexico He and
both wrote you that day now write you
to say that after looking at all the chances,
think Utah the best The salary is S4,000-New
Mexico only $4,000. The Territory west of
Kansas, to be called Idoho, will be formed out of
part of Utah, and if | can get you appointed for
Utah, would try and have the Surveyor Gene
raj for Utah by law also made the Surveyor for
Idoho, the Surveyor now is for Kansas and
Nebraska.
/ spoke to Charlie to day again about the mat
ter, and e agreed with me. | want my brother
to 60 with you as Chief Clerk-salary $500.
The gold mines and the Pacific Railroad will
enable the Surveyor General and his assistant
to make fortune of $50 900 to 800, 900 in the
four years, in my opinion, if he is good bust
ness man.
The only question with me is as to where you
should hail from. If -, or if Indiana does
not get Cabinet appointment, / think you had
better hail from Fort Wayne. and then Charlie
could think, get all the Indiana delegation,
and | could get number from Ohio, and hope
in this way TO get the place. | would rather
have the Office for the next four years than any
Office in the gift of the Government Let me
hear from you soon.
Yours, j. NJ. ASHLEY.
P.S Charlie is not now in his seat did
not think of the locality YOU were to hail from,
whether Ohio or Indiana, until he left. l have

rebellion and To restore the Union as it was, and
maintain the Constitution as il is-beleving that
that sacred instrument. founded in wisdom by
fathers. clothes the constituted authority with
full power "a omplish such purpose
Second, That by the following resolution unan
imously passed by Congress in July, 1851, the
Governments pledged to the policy inculca-
tel therein. and which can not be departed from
without violation OF public faith. viz:
Resoirsd, That the present deplorabe civil war
has been forced upon the country by the disun on
lists OF the Southern States. now in arms against
the Constitutional Government. and in arms
around the Capital; that in this national emer-
gency. Congress, banishng all feelings of mere
passion or resentment, will recOect only its duty

HESRy CLAY was once pretty good authority
with a good many people, some of whom have,
we fear. forgotten all his teachings. Let such
listen to him now He said. on memorable oc-
casion:
The liberty of the descendants of Africa in the
United States is incompatible with the liberty
and safety of the European descendants Their
slavery forms an exception, resulting from stern
and intiexIble necessity, to the general liberty in
the United States. We did not originate nor are
we responsible for this necessity. Their liberty,
il ii possible. coCld only be established by
violating the ncontestible powers of the State.
and OF subverting the Union And beneath the
ruins of the Union would be buried sooner or la

With then the rights of property nothing;

dicial to the moral standing of our Representa-
tive in Congress. Hon. j. NJ. Ashley. These re
ports purport to be based upon certain letters,

the public ought to know it. If they are not true
justice alike TO Mr. Ashley and his constituency
require that the facts be made known.
The reports indicate great want of moral hon
esty on the part OF Mr. Ashley, and an attempt to
use his official position as Representative tor this

would render him entirely unfit to be the repre-
sentative of an honest constituency.
