We printed, some days since, letter
sent to US by the Hon. James Buchanan, ex-
President Of the United States, repelling GER
tain imputations cast on him (not by us) with
regard to the incipicnt stages of the gigantic
Rebellion which so lately convulsed and has so
terribly devastated our country. II seems to us
that this letter left untouched several of the
most important points in the case made against
its author-points which We propose here to re-
state as we understand them, rendering to Mr.
Buchanan the use of our columns for any cx-
PLANTATION, comment or disclaimer he may see fit
to offer. We wish to sift out and establish the
Exact truth-nOthing more and nothing less.
If Mr.. Buchanan has been maligned, We would
gladly be instrumental in his vindcation. A
lifelong political opponent, we have ever re-
ceived from him no other than the kindest per.
sonal treatment, and we would certainly do him
no conscious injustice. Besides, Mr. b. grows
old he labors under grave imputations which
are widely credited to his injury; and if they
are not well founded, it is high time they were
combated and dispelled. If not fully confronted
during his lifetime, they are not likely to be
secuted afterward.
The case made against Mr.. Buchanan we un.
derstand to be as follows:
/. Messrs. Buchanan, Pierce and Douglas were
rival candidates for the Democratic nomination
for President before the National Convention held
at Cincinnati in May, 1856. The contest was
arduous, excited, protracted-neither candidate
securing the requisite vote: but finally an ad-
iournment was had, views and assurances con-
fidentially interchanged, and, when the Con-
venton reassembled next morning, Mr.. b. was
at once nominated by an almost unanimous
vote.
III. The leader Of the Pennsylvania delegation
having returned thanks for the honor, &C., in a
rather cold, non-committal speech, feeling of
dissatisfaction was widely evnced, relieved by
Southern calls for "Black!" BLACK" Col.
Samuel w. Black, delegate from Western
Pennsylvania, was thus induced to speak, which
no did most ably and warmly, referring to the
cordially which had ever characterized the re-
lations existing between the South and the
Pennsylvania Democracy, assuring the former
of the abiding gratitude Of the latter for this
new proof Of confidence and regard from the
latter, and plsdging the "Keystone State"
never to provo unfaithful to her Southern al

Among the Commissioners elected to the New
School Presbyterian General Assembly, which
met in Brooklyn the day before yesterday, are
two colored ministers, one from Philadelphia and
the other from Newark. The Philadelphia DEL
egate the Rev. Thomas b. Reeve, was elected
as alternate for the Rev. DIR. Brainard, the
moderator of the General Assembly of last
year. DIR. Brainard is Of opinion that MIR.
Reeve is the first colored man ever elected to
any General Assembly, and he deems it emf
nently proper that the New School branch OF
the Presbyterian Church, having been the first
to cnunciate the principles of human freedom,
should be the first to rise above the prejudlces
of caste. The New School Presbyterians, in
welcoming the representatives of the colored
race as members of the highest board of the
church, have set a noble example to the other
religious denominations Of the land, the general
imitation of which would powerfully aid in the
elevation of the negroes and the reconstruction
of the Southern churches Southern society and
the Federal Union.
