MY Diiar Sir: Your favor of tho
llth Inst., Informing moof my nomlnii
tlon by tho Liberal Ilcpubllean Stnlo
Committee as candidate forDolegato-at
largo to tho Constitutional Convention,
and Inclosing an address to tho pcoplo
of tho Stato recommondlng my election
cauio duly to hand, but extroino Illness
provcutcd my reading tholettoror con
sidnrlrig tho subject until now.
I am still qulto feeble, and unaulo to
wrlto without the aid of an amanuensis
but tho near approach of tho election
imd tho gravity of tho Issues lmmcdl
utoly affecting the honor and prosporlty
of Pennsylvania to bo decided In Oclo
ber, compel mo to answer when my rest
should bo uribrokuu.
A nomination, made by so many of
tho purest and best old representative
Hepubllcaus of tho Stale, and presented
to tho people upon grounds which stand
out In bravo contrast with tho demora'
llzod politic il munagement now so sadly
provalont, is un appeal I canuot refuse
to respect. I thcrofore accept tho nomi
nation, and If It shall bo ratified by tho
people, and my health poruiits, I will
discharge Its duties with tldolity.
I had confidently expected immediate
ly upon my return homo to familiarlzo
myself fully with tho details of what
woll understood In all general aspects
touching tho misrule in our Common
wealth under its present political con
trol, nnd to speak my convictions at tho
carl Ice t possible moment. Whllo I can
notever bo Indifferent In a Presidential
contest, I felt that tho
nUOKNEKATION OF MY NATIVE STATE
In tho OjtoVr election was of para
mount Interest to the pujple, In whoso
happiness and greatness lam enlisted
by overy consideration of gratitude and
patriotism.
Thu h.ul rule that bus wholly com
passed the channels of political admin
istrative nuthority in Pennsylvania Is
not of recent creation. It was tho tiro
leas but impotent power that cnibarras
tho action of tho Government, Stato
and National, during tlio dark days of
civil war, and steadily struggled to
gather advancement and gain from
T1IE IlITTEK SOrtKOWSOF THE PEOPLE.
Six years ago it attained control in
our Stato. How II was achieved is re
momborcd with humiliation by all.
Wiiy It was sought and won our subse
quent history painfully demonstrates.
Tho Republican organization has
mado Its uamo Illustrious in maintain
ing tho unity of tho States and redeem
ing a continent to freedom. It was seiz
ed In contempt of tlio will of the people
and its victories perverted to
LICENSED WnONQ.
I need not recite how, under an hon
ored name and flag, It has created
wide-spread, indeed, almost universal
distrust of authority, and mado honest
mon despair of integrity iu legislation,
In olectlons, in conferring legislative
honors, and even In tho administration
of public justice.
Theso terrible aud steadily-growing
evils in our political rulo have mado the
pcoplo demand tho right to rcsumo their
sovereignty, to mako now safeguards
for themselves, but If tho proposed con
vention is to effect thorough reform it
muat bo aided, not hlndorod, by tho
vast power of tho Executive and other
Important State officials. If Mr. Bucka
low shall bo defeated and a now leaso of
authority thus conferred upon
TUB DESPOTIC CONTROL
that has long misruled tho Common
wealth, it will bo marvellous Indeed if
tho convention choson in the partisan
strife of a national contest can afford
any substantial relief or protection to
the people If Pennsylvania is to bo
restored to purity, tho government In
all its departments, as woll as tho con
vontlon,must;iiarmonlzo fully and earn
estly In tho
WORK OF REGENERATION.
Mr. Buckalow's confoHed Integrity
and consistent devotion to reform dur
ing many years of official servlco give
tho best posslblo guarautoes of honest
administration and comploto restraints
upon corrupt or reckless authority, and
his election seems to bn demandod by
ovory consideration of
INDIVIDUAL -MANHOOD
and fldollty to tho honor and advance
ment of the State. If, as Is claimod by
dosporato leaders in Pennsylvania, to
rogonorato our State In October will
affect tWo national contest, a causo thus
to bo ondangered must bo wanting In
tho moet esjontial attributes of popular
confidence. Actuated sololy by a sonso
of duty to a pooplo whoso dnvotion in
timo past furnishes tho most grateful
memories of my llfi-, I shall vote in Oc
tobor I'OU HONEHT (lOVKKNMUNT
111 our Commonwealth, and incut tho
Presidential lssuo when It comes buforo
tlio jRopIo In ncuordunco with my loinr-

thoro would bo no room for doubt as to
tho result of tho prrsont contest ror tno

In 1845 Mr. Buckalow was appointed
nrosecutinir attornoy for Columbia coun
ty j and after discharging tho duties of
the otneo witn marircu cincicncy ror two
years ho voluntarily resigned. In 1850
ho was elected Stato Senator for threo
years, and was ro-clcctcd in 1S03. In
1851 bo was appointed by tho President
of tho United States, special commis
sioner to oxcuango ratifications of tho
treaty with tho Republic of Paraguay.
Although affairs had then becomo some
what complicated botween tho two gov
ernments, ho performed the duty of his
appointment with onllro satisfaction to
both countries. Returning in safety
from this long and perilous voyage, ho
was chosen Presidential electar.from li Is
Senatorial district, In tho fall of
185G.
In 1S57 ho was a third timo elected to
tho Stato Senate ; and in tho winter of
that year was appointed by tho Gover
nor, and confirmed by the Heinle, as ono
of a commission of three to rcviso tlio
criminal laws of tho Stale.
nE RENDERS IMPORTANT HKI'.VICE TO
'rni: state.
Mr. Buckalow was an acknowledged
leader of his party in tho Stato Sen
ato ; and was particularly prominent
and influential In tho advocacy of ques
tions of reform, and of nil attempts to
secure equal, just and beneficial legisla
tion. Ho was tlio author of tho act,
passed during tlio session of 1S5I, and
still subsisting, which prohibits tlio sale
of intoxicating drinks to tho Insane, to
minors, nnd to persons of known intem
perate habits ; and prohibits tho cele
bration of tho marriage ceremony when
either of tho parties is in a stato of in
toxication. The penalties nnuexed to
tho violation of this law aro fine ami
Imprisonment ; and any member of tho
Immediate family, or other rciativo of
an intemperate person, may forbid any
liquor-seller to furnish to such intoxica
ting drink. Ho was also tho author of
most of the constitutional amendments
that were proposed at tho session of tho
general assembly In 1857. As oxamples
of theso may bo instanced that which
prohibits the contracting of any now
Statodebtoxceedlng tlio amount of $750,-
uuu ; mat wnicn lormus tno incurring
of municipal indebtedness by subscrip
tions of stock or loans of credit to in
corporated companies ; that which pro
vides for tho creation of a sinking fund
for tho payment of tho existing Stato
debt ; and that which prevents tlio di
vision of counties except by tho popu
lar consent expressed at an election
held for the purposool ascertaining tho
popular will.
REFORM IN REPRESENTATION.
On tho question of cumulative or freo
voting ho bas long cherished a profound
interest, and is tho author of several
local acts favoring that modo of elec
tion and of tho general statute which
applies tho principle of tho freo voto to
tno election oi couueumen in all tho
boroughs of tho Stato subject to general
laws. But upon no question of Stato
policy has ho manifested so much con
cern as that of constitutional reform.
a uonvention lor this purposo will con
veno next November, and tho amend
ment ho proposed last winter which
contemplates tho removal of t ' elec
tion oi tno state Treasurer li u the
Legislature aud tho placiug of It . i tlio
hands of tlio nconlo will iitiim.v-.Hnii-
abiy then bo adopted.
ACCEPTS A DIPLOMATIC Mt&UON
In tho summer of 185S, Mr. Buckalow
resigned his position as Stato Senator
and Commissioner to roviso tho Criminal
Codo. for tho purposo of accepting tho
appointment of United States minister
resident to tho Republle of Equador.
Here, as In Paraguay, ho discharged
his delicato duties with prudence and
fldollty. Tho climate of tho country
proving f.ivorablo to his health and that
of his family ho remained tiirco years,
and returning to his country in 1801, ho
found his countrymon armed and urm
Ing for tho suppression of tiro great
rebellion.

on Itopresontatlvo Reform, whoo re

When Senator Buckalow took his aent

tho 22d of April, 1801, an nmoudment
was offered by Mr. Hendricks, of In-
dlnua, increasing tho pay of soldiers, 50
per cont. This did not pass, though Mr.
Buckalow voted for it. May 10, 1801,
another amendment was offered and
adopted, which Increased tho pay of

$10 per mrmth.tho pay of white soldiers
being nt that time $13 per month. That

army bill relating to certain regiments
of colored troops, against which Mr.
Buckalow voted for oxcollout reasons.

A SLANDER NAILED,
It will bo romombored that lu 1801
there was a so-called noaco eonfurnnen
at Niagara Falls. It is cliargod against
Mr. Buckalow that ho participated in
Its biocoedings, and thorobv nrovo dbla
readiness to entertain proposals from
iudui emissaries iiiai wero uorogatory to
tho honor and welfare of bin nnnntrv.
his chargo Is purely u lie. Tho
real truth Is that ho wont to Niagara
n tho performance of n duty onforced
mon lilin by tho Senate of tho United
Stated. On tho 2d of July, twM, iiiet-
liitlon Introduced by Mr. Hunioy, or
Mlntio-tola passed tho ficntiU', which
liiMtriicled t fio ('ommltlro on Indian
All'alrs to Inqillrn llilo thn Indian ad
mmiBirniinit oi uio .imperial nun roiou-
1A1 nuinoriiies in inu uriiisu miirin
Amcrli'in possessions. Mr. Harlan, of
lown. Mr. Doollttlo, of Wisconsin, and
Mr. Iluckalow, of Pennsylvania, boliig
members of tint Indian committee,
wero appointed a sub couimiiieo to per
form tills special duly during tho reeois
ol Coiigrcis. For lids purpose solely Mr.
Iluckalow wontto Niagara, Mrs. (luck
ulow accompanying her husband. While
waiting more to bujoiuo l by tno otner
two members oi tno coinmiiiee, air.
Ilolcotnbe, onu of tho volunteer robel
peaco commission, casually met Mr.
nml Mrs. Buekalew lu tho nubile ro-
edition room of tholioteland conversed
with tlieni about tun minutes. The
only allusion to National allalrs during
tins brioi niierviuw was u rumaric oi
Mr. llolcombu to tho elb cl that Mr.
Lincoln would havo dl Ucu tv In ra m
ing tlio live hundred thousand troops
for which a call had just been Ismed, to
which Mr. Buckalow replied "Tin:
TROOPS WILL11I! raised." Mr. Btickii-
low was nt Niagara in tho discharge of
ningu oiueiai duty, xiiooniyconieder
ato ho met, or spoko to or had any In
tcrcourso with, during tho war, was
Mr. Holcotnbc, and thu single remark
hu niadn to him became thu Hp i of a pa
triot, nnd was calculated lo discourago
uio leaders or tno rebellion.
A new pimkirajime
Mr. Hucknlew. should he bo elected
Governor of Pennsylvania, Is firmly
resolved so to oxen tno lnuuenco oi his
great oinco as to craiiicaioinuoiiurinous
OVIl Ol Special legislation; prevent. irmm
in tho conducting of primary, locil and
ireiternl elections: oncourago thu sclcc
tinn or capable and nonesi men uir inu
Lpclslnturo; Induce enconoiny and
fidelity stlii tho State administration
and place tho Sinking Fund in hands
that can bo trusted by tho people. Ills
own words best deilno tho salutary ro
forms that would ho Inaugurated.
"What do wo doslr-cto accomplish in
our Slnto? Whv. for one thlinr wo want
tlio olcctlon of Stato Treasurer taken
out of the Legislature."
"Then wo expect to obtain lu liiegov
eminent of our State, great salutary
and necessary reforms with regard lo
tho transaction of business by tho Leg
islature. Wo expect to havo cut off
from tlio Legislature a large amount of
jurisdiction which has been productive
of evil in the State, and of scandal and
reproach. Largo inassos ol private leg
islation nnd largo branches of Jurisdic
tion with reference to bills, must boctil
off hereafter from tho notion of tho Leg
islative Department of our Govern
ment. You can obtain IhUby two
means, n nst ami in iiniy, by tnu action
oi tno uonsiiintioiiai L'onveniion which
is to meet in November; but wo will
secuto It also to a great extent by elect
ing proper men t Ilia Legislature, and
bvclcetingsomo men with proper views
upon tho subject to fill tho Executive
office. But tliero Is a greater question
than till these tho great question of
electoral reiorm. isotii your primary
and your legal elections aro perverted.
Thoy are not as they ought to bo, freo
and open encounters bJtwocn opposing
opinions."
"Woll, we can roach that ovii. Willi
good men in tho Legislature, who aro
not subject to Rings, and a man in tho
Executivo office who will recommend
to Uio Legislature the reforms necessary
to purge tno ballot, it is p)ssioio to
ovoribrow irauii nnd lo M-cure nones
and fair elcctlous'gcncr.iily througlinu
the Ojiiinioiiwcaitn,"
THE STATE'S GUARANTEE.
This rests upon tho uiiivcrally admit
ted capacity, and tho univerally receiv
ed character of tho candidate. Mr.
Buckalow has distinguished himself as
i student, a lawyer, a stato legislator,
foreign minister, and a United States
Senator. Ho is yet in tho prima of life,
and, of his age, there is scarcely a public
man in the' country who has had equal
experience or lias displayed equal capa
city, fur the management of public af
fairs. Aud what is, if possible, till more
Important In tho present exigencies of
tlio Stato, this character whether per
sonal or official, is allko concodoi! by
ills political friends and opponents to
be above suspicion. Ilo lias not now,
ncr has ho over had, "Cliques" and
"Rings" about htm. Ilo has through
out ids long public life stood alono upon
the solid basis of of his ability and in
tegrity. Ilo lias neither cuamics to pun
Isli nor friends and dependents to ro
waid. Ilo has received tho nomination
not bocauso ho intrigued for it, or oven
desired il, but becuifO ho was beliovod
to bo best entitled to tho honor. If elect
ed ho will assume tlio duties of the
offico untrnmcllcd and independent,
and tho result will prove that n Oov
ernor, either more capable or faithful to
tho best interests of the Commonwealth,
never sat in tlio chair.
