TO-JAMEN BUCHANAN. PRESIDENT OF THE
UNITED STATES.
. ,
' OFF/CD OF ME NEW YORK HERALD,
New Year's Day,lBBo. 1 '
- Mr DEAR Mat. BUcittisaN You cannot conceive
how greatly I On indebted to you for taking me to
your ardent and sympathetic bosom ; and I seize
the opporitmity, this blessed Sabbath—which I
always greet with a contrite and penitent heart—
thatrmaiwrite to you in the 'freedom °ranee:.
tion, while sanding to yotethe sweet greeting of a
happy, thrice happy Now Year, and, add to it the
many that there may be any more in reserve
for {yon: 'Notwithetanding I have always enter
tained the opinion that you aro " a Geld and timid
'than, following in the wake of other men, and that
the stuff, of which Ovular enthusiasm is made, is
bet in'youOind cannot be brought out of you,"
you are the solltaryluman being in this, or in any
other country, 'who has responded to my abuse and
My slanders 'upon private and public character,
before this abate and theta slanders were recanted
by me, by formally recognising me as a confidante
tend _friend: , 1 -Baia been publicly insulted by
Daniel 0 1 Ponnell in Ireland ; publicly cowhided by
I. **aeon Webb in 'New:York ; driven out of all
tidal position everywhere, and compelled to
live' iis Ex.:sort of moral quarantine in Parts,
all because I have never' yet failed to stain the
reputation of man or woman, when I had any
porpose to'ahbsorvo by doing eo. You can readily
conceive, then, what an invaluable favor you have
bestowed upon one bytaklng the into your arms.
In doing so, yin prove that I have been right in
all my vituperation of your friends and yourself.
It is a great triumph to a knave so characterless as
fnmrto'fbd that which I would gladly have apolo
gized for, eecoptcd as truthful and genuine, 'without
regret or retraction on my part.
Besides, Mr. Buchanan, your - whole course has
proved that what 1 said before your election was
said prophetically. I told the country that you
were seeking to " foroe uptin Kansas and all the
Territories of the groat West a nigger -driving
despotism:" that you " wero "a Kansas rut.
Ban ;" "an Ostend filibuster ;" " a rotten, dia.
fainted, and demoralized Democrat;'! and that
"your whale policy would bo to make room for
nigger; at the point of the bayonet." I told the
country that your letter to California, to secure
her vote, was a fraud and a falsehood, and that if
you were elected, "the eame malign anti•Califor
tda,:sosession, nullifiestion, border-ruffian, and
tilibustering 'counsels that controlled your nomi
nation at Cie.:linnet', would rubs the roast should
pu got into the White Mouse, even by the vote of
Oslifornia." I also denounced your Ostend mani
festo as the manifesto of a "highwayman." I
now boldly olefin that all these declarations have
been confirmed by the results, and that you have
gtven them the sanction of your highest approba
tion.
But your liberality to me, my dear Mr. Bu
chanan, has gnus further than this. You are a
mach "older fogy" to-day than you wore in
1855—a very "old stager," before whose claims
end pretensions all other Democrats, of high7r
ow degree, must stand book !" "The fact is, you
utve no taste for matrimony, which plainly im
dies a lack of some essential quality, as, for in
stance, was the case with John Randolph, of
Roanoke!"
This is what I thought of you a few years ago,
and what I still think of you. Your course has
proved, as / then said, " that no man who has not
moan married can thororpghly understand human
nature, and, also, that you are the first President
who has ever carried into the White llouse the
nude, and possibly tho gross, tastes and mad
man of a bachelor." If this 'ad not been so,
low Gould you have compelled' those around you
o take a wretch so covered with corruption and
theme as Myself into your innermost household ?
But you are fond of grog, Mr. Buchanan. Bit
terly as I have abused Forney, I have said worse
things of you than ever I did of him. I charged
you, in en editorial article, with turning your house
tt Wheatland "into en unlimited tavern-stand,
where, night after night, you sought, by making
men drink, to secure from them, in their drunken
moments, pledges to support you," and I said, on
he highest authority, that all " these things bad
been repeatedly transacted, Sabbath after Bab-
Ineredible as the charge seemed at the
ime, I then said that," the very feet that you lived
rho life of an old baoholor atforded'at once a eub
dantial ground of belief." That you should have
he greatest merriment - in my delightful family
drole, but that you should have forgiven me
'or Saying that you had attempted_
Waldo beoanseiyou bid driven a young lady to
lespair, and that " the conampienoe was a mina
"ion of the musoleS on one lido of your throat,
which has given you that kink or twist In your
nick, Whioh you carry to this day," only shows
that the stOries of your malignity are simply true
se against those who have been fools enough to
serve you all their lives.
The fact is, Ur. Buchanan, your course to me is
the best evidence of the truth of my declaration in
1858, "that you are a loquacious old dotard, whose
testimony under oatia.is good for nothing—au old
dotard, as ignorant of the Importance of an oath as
of the facts If history ;" "that you area dotard,
an imbecile, a miserable, gabbling old granny, who
has,lost his mind and his memory, and who is, con
sequently, utterly unfit for the important duties of
the-Presidency." Because, if you were not so,
yotrwoida s have seen that every gentleman, North
and South, would regard your intimacy with me
as an evidence that all theft accusations of mine
were correct.
I have done all I could to serve you since you took
me into your counsel, butat is in vain, and Ipsuet,
therefore, conclude this part of letter with my
very worth on October 27, 1856: " That a violent re
volt of an indignant people, who have been so basely
imtrayed by party hucksters, swindlers, and
setteming knaves, is at hand " to punish both you
and me.
Lot me close this areotionate epistle with the
following s poetio etTuaion, from my own pen, copied
from the New York Herald of the 14th of July,
1858 :
" THE FOUR TEARS' RACE.
Tmcs—Few Days.
The four years' race is to be run
In a few days, a few days;
By slavery's hack It can't bo won, •
Oh, take " Buck" home.

Oh ! take " Buck" home.
Our free mountain colt will win the field,
In a few days, a few days,
And slavery's minions will have to yield,
Oh l take theta home."
I ought to add that the abovo looks to the rapidly
expiring time of your Administration, and to the
folly of all attempts to put you on the track again.

ability and temper, by Lookhart. This always

WASHINGTON, JAIL 6, 1860
, 'The Cleveland Plaimleater expresses the opinion
that the Demooratio National Convention cannot
possibly meet at Charleston on the 23d of April,
inasmuth as, according to the declaration of the
Charleston Mercier y and the notion of the South
Carolina Legislature, now in session, the Palmetto
State will or may bo out of the Union in a very short
time. Several contingencies have been suggested,
the happening of either of which will precipitate
the departure of that State from our national
sisterhood. It would be a rather sorry sequel to
the efforts of the Administration to sectionalize the
Demooratic party and to place it upon the ultra
secession platform, if the very place where the
National Convention is milled should, before many
weeks have elapsed, be found to be outside of the
Union. Much as the extreme mon of South Caro-
lina have threatened and hectored lately, they can
not again recede from their ultra position. They,
and those who co-operate with them, wilt be own
' polled to take the initiative, and I have no
that, the moment they attempt to break the bonds
of Union, a large body of conservative men will be
found in the slave States resolVed to rebuke them.
It will depend entirely upon certain events whether
the patriotio men in the South shall succeed in the
struggle.
It seems to bo conceded that Judge Douglas will
very easily carry the delegates to Charleston both
from Ohio and Indiana. • lie has already obtained
the unanimous support of his own State, and It le
equally certain that be will bo unanimously en
dorsed by Wisoonsin and lowa. ♦The Southern
secessionists, however, oontinue to show Judge
Douglas and his friends no meroy, first insisting
that they will never support him if nominated,
and next that any other nomination must bo made
Upon a distinctive platform in favor of the pro
tection of slavery in the Territories against the
popular will. Judge Douglas is, in fact, the only
eartrildato now loft who can save the Democratic
party. Many Demoorats who believe in the prin
ciple he represents do not conanr with some of his
Manila in their readiness to submit to the decree of
the Charleston Convention—whatever decree that
may be. But it Is unquestionable that the doe
trine of which he Is the embodiment is, after all,
the only practical ono for the adjustment of the
vexed question of slavery. The last Illinois Demo.
°ratio State Convention has, in the most oxplloit
manner, stated its hostility to the demands of the
extreme South, and. as Judge Douglas no doubt
approves, If he did not suggest this platform, ho
may be said thus to have added another to his
, many claims upon the consideration of the people
a Presidential candidate.
No business Is done by either branch of Congress
owing to the dead lock in the Rouse. The depart
ments of the Government are at a stand-atill. The
President makes no nominations to the Senate ex
oept such as are rendered necessary by emergen
cies. Tho cenSoquenee is general lassitude and la.
sines,. Business is affected and money is coerce
because trade is dull. Members come to the Rouse
to listen to long speeches and angry debates, and
now and then to take an Ineffective ballot. The
Senator. crowd In—Well-dressed and indifferent
spectaturi to the struggle. The galleries aro Mod
with fashionable people of leisure. The secrete.
rice aro afflicted with the prevailing ennui, and
even the President is left a good deal to himself,
and hue ample np'portunity to contemplate the last
three your, of his rule, and to measure out the
thirteen short month. that aro left to him. Inert.
noes and stupidity are almost universal in Wash.
ington. Social life, of course, gnat oh as usual,
but the hotels may be Said to suffer more than any
other branch of businees, because extra prepare.
Lions had been made for an exciting session. Their
proprietors find their lists of guests comparatively
small, and the financial ability of their enstomers
greatly restricted.
The Republicans are looking forward to the
meeting of their National Convention, in Juno,
with a good deal of solicitude. The truth Is, every
organization is Afteawberized, or in other words,
" waiting for something to turn up," and the Re.
publicans aro quite in the fashion. Nearly all
their prominent men have denounced the lots of
John Brown and his ententes in good set terms,
and the call for their National Convention la so
worded as to include everybody. The tendency
of things is, unquestionably, to moderate the anti
slavery sentiment, and to make the contest next
year more national than our prophets supposed it
ever could be made. John Brown seeing to have ao.
complished two things certainly. lie has brought
the Republican party to the consideqation of such
an amendment of their platform of 1556 as I have
repeatedly suggested in tbitroorrespondenee, and,
on the other hand, It has made the fire.eaters of
the South still more fiery.
The South Americans are in a strange quandary.
They , are compelled to oppose the Republican. on
account of the strong sentiment against them ih
the South—and they oppose the Adminiatration be.

Letter from - Washington.
Worrespondenee of The Prin.]
WASHINGTON, Jan 0,1860.
Quite a lively, though soinetvbet dfsreptable,
display took plus yesterday eGeniug, between
some of Indiana delegation. It thus came about
Percher Miles, of South Carolina, an eloquent, con r
iotous, and gifted gentleman, got up in a lever of
patriotism to make the proposition whioh be pre
sented today. Before coming to his proposition
ho indulged in a brief review of the state or par
ties in the House, and wee doubtful if ho could
apply the term " organitation" to the anti-Le
oomptonites, as they seemed—and he:said it with re
epect—,rather to be disorgenisers. This of source
brought up Messrs.'Adrain and Clark, the former
of whom said there 19011) five of them. This in
spired Hickman. lfe'wantod to know who the five
were, and whether they included those who had
been cleated by Republican votes ; end took occa
sion to denounce with his accustomed vigor the
Administration Democracy in the Douse, as a type
of the Administration itself in being demoralized,
disorganized, without coherence, and in a pitiable
and discreditable condition.
Then mime up John G. Davis, of Indiana, who,
by his speech, dragged up his colleagues, Porter,
and Dunn, who both declared they heard him in
Indianapolis, during his canvass, denounce the
Drod Scott decision, and deliver an eloquent speech,
which entirely met the approval of the Republi
cans. Indeed, It was altepubilcan speech. Davis,
evidently "riled," denied It by every possible
means--denied it emphatically, fearlessly, fu•
:lowly, and denounced those who made the charge
on that floor as slanderers, and utterers of what
was not true. This fell upon the House with effect
and force, and Davis was cheered by the Adminis
tration side. But judge—you aro a lover of the
drama—of the effect, when Mr. Porter, in the cool
est manner possible, put his hand In his pocket, and
drew therefrom the Indiana State Sentinel, the
Demooratio organ of the State, ivith..a report of the
speech alluded to.
A perfect hush—then a murmur—then mingled
ones of " Read it," " Read it," and " I object,"
"r object," while for a moment Mr. Davis—an
nounoing that ho was cool, never more so—seemed
nonplussed. Quickly regaining himself, he de
nounced the editor of the State Sentinel as a per
zonal opponent. After oonsldersble skirualehing
the paper was read, and substantiated, I think,
the statements made by the other Indiana gentle
man, when the Rouse adjourned, Mr. John Cooh
rano being but tee glad to compromise the reading
of the paper rind the personal explanations by
Messrs. Porter and Dunn with the proposition to
idjourn immediately after. The Rouge was eon-
Adorably excited ; but it was altogether a very
theatrical passage, and only shows how true to
nature the stage generally is in its best efforts.
To-day, Mr. Miles had an opportnnity of present
ing his proposition, which was that a temporary
Speaker be soleoted, the appropriation bills passed,
the Government credit sustained with the con
tractors; and that then the Representatives resign
en canoes, and go home to their conetituenclee, and
take mensal. The project, I need not say, is ono
which would 6e of a moot serious and I think dis
astrous nature. It was received coldly by a
Jammed gallery.
Mr. Adrian of New Jersey, replied to Rickman's
query as to " the five anti-Imeempten Demoorate "
alluded to yesterday by the gentleman from Now
Jersey. Ile regretted that Mr. Rickman had at
ouch an early period of the Benton left hie friends
and voted for Mr. Sherman. Ilad he not done so,
the Rouse might probably have been organized by
the 'election of an anU•Lecompton Democrat. The
Kon.Mr. Joneyman suggestol that the Reuse might
still be organized if—that wretched and rather
satirloal syllable—Va sufficient number of Repre
sentatives would vote for an anti-Imoomptonite—
not himself, for he had no ambition for the
Speake's chair, but for Ronne P. Clark, of,New
York, or John G. Davis, of Indiana. The gentle
man defined hie own position relative to his con•
etituenta and the Democracy. Ile was elected in
opposition to the Lecompton policy of Mr. Bu
chan ; end on the ground that ho yenta vete for
the admission of Kansas with a Constitution chosen
by the people of that Territory. Re proceeded to
eliminate his principles, and to show how he had
voted and why.
Mr. Percher Miles wished to ask whether It was
reasonable that ninety men should go over to five,
or that five should go over to ninety.
In reply to queries by Mr. Hickman, the gentle
man from New Jersey said ho received more Re
publican votes than Democratic in hie election, and
that the Republicans did not put any man in no
mination against, but gave him the field; from
which, added life. Rickman, the Roane and the
eountry—as the stereotyped phrase was—would un
derstand that the ground taken by Mr. Adrain in
in bleeanvass was acceptable to the Republicans.
Mr. Adraln declared that they went for him be
cause they believed in his honesti; that they were
thoroughly aware of his political sentiments, as
lie bad over ailed to AVM his pQatttpn at all antt•
TM PRESS.--PHILADELPMA, SATURDAY, JANUARY 7, 1860.
Looompton Domoorat. An allusion to the position
of the South Amerloans, brought up Mr. Laban T.
Moore. Ile was ready, for one, and he avowed ho
spoke for seventeen thousand people of the Ninth
Congrossional district of Kentucky, In a choice be•
tween a Republican and a Democrat, to vote for a
Dooloorat—except ho was a aquatter•soverelgnty
Democrat; which elicited some applause, from the
Virginia bench. He was no Democrat, though he
would veto for one, and he appealed to his friends
to "do likewise."
Mr. Adrain resumed, and as the only moans of
organising, moved the plurality rule, and spoke
strongly in favor of it. He discountenanced the
project of Mr. Miles, as it would lead to dissolu
tion.
Mr. Warren Winslow, of North Carolina, next
appealed to all in a few patriotic sentiments, and
virtually revived the proposition of Mr. Reitt,
made more than a week ago. lie presented it In
a more perfect form, to wit: that the three parties
opposed to tho Republicans should appoint commit
tees to confer, in the hope of selecting some one
on whom they could unite.

Mr. J. D. Raskin made hie reappearance to-day.
The American party, or Southern Opposition,
held a meeting in committee last night. Crittenden,
Rockwoli, and Jewett, of Buffalo, and other loading
men, were present. The chief business was the en.
largamont of the counnittaa for the purposo of cor
respondence and active 00-Operation throughout the

Mr. bloats, of South Carolina, said it wan not
hts purpose, yesterday, to make a regular speech,
bpi to suggest how harmony might lbo produced
strong the three elements which are equally opposed
to the Republican party. The colloquial debate
witch then took plaoo was happy in its results.
lii did not consider the Democracy proper respell.
stile for the non-organliation of the House. Ho
wss not a party man, but a kind of outsider,
augh he had been noting with the Democratic
pirty. lie was an independent State-rights man,
std therefore, from his position, could speak
calmly, gravely, end impartially. The ltepubli•
an candidate was particularly obnoxious to
three representing Southern oonetituenclos, in
=segue/roe of his eonfotion with Helper's book
(The Impending Oriels, which contained vile and
atrocious sentiments. lance the concentration of
Southern gentlemen against Mr. Sherman. lie
argued that the responsibility of non-organization
rests with the anti-Lecompton Democrats. Those
anti-Lccompion-professing-Democrats who voted
the Republican ticket, are, in effect, Republicans.
The responsibility of an organization rests on the
shoulders of those who have voted for neither
Democrat nor Republican,
because the Southern
Opposition have intimated that they will join the
Duaoerats proper whenever it can he shown
that such a.inion will elect their candidate.
Mr. lIAFKIP, of Now York, wished to know
whethor, on the principle laid down by Mr. Miles,
these Democrats who voted for Mr. Maynard, slid
not thereby become Atuerieens.
Mr. Slang slid not think so, because Mr. May

and would vote for an out.and.out American, with
the vlow of defeating lb Republican candidate.

us have a 'Resolution of panties. Ho aseured the
gentlemen that the great mesa of the Southern
people wore in a stele of terrible indignation and
tremendous excitement. Should, as had been
threatened, the Northern people proceed against
the South in military array, a confliet most bloody

racter of the Anglmtialou when whipped to stay
whipped. The South was impregnable. lie had
no fears for the result. When the tlevernment
fails of the purpoeo for which it wan established, it
was the right of the people to afford a remedy, and
for this they are responsible alone to public opinion
and the nations of the earth. lie proposed that
gentlemen clot a tempo - rary Speaker, rues the ne
cessary appropriation bills, resign their state, and
appeal to the people en the great question of the
day. lie made the proporition in good faith.
Mr. AnnAlti, of New Jersey, said ho yesterday
spoke of the Ave unti-Lecompton Demoorate on
this floor. who had cast their votes for Speaker, for
one of their own number. The gentleman from
Pennsylvania (Mr. 'Holtman), had asked ithat he
meant by the five anti•Lecompton Demoorate. In

to think that he (Mr. Adrain) intended to huh:mato
that ho (Mr. Illekinan) was not an anti-Leeoutp.

on which be le elected. lie should have been
glad if MrSillekman had not so soon gone over to
the Republicans, for an antisLecompton Democrat
might have been attested. A cut ehent number of
votes Can be given to an anti-Lecompton Demerit,
for Mr. Clark, of New York, Mr. Davie, of Indi•
ant or any other. The Mouse could then be or
ganized. Ito was elected as an antioLecompton
Democrat against an Admielstration•Lecompton
Democrat. The Americans and Republioana made
no nomination; they chose to support him In pre

editor of the American, at Trenton, said he and
Mr Riggs had been conalstent in their votes here,
and that neither the Republicans net Democrats
could have any fault to find.
