4. Upon my return last, evening,
after a short absence from the citY,:.l found:
your letter of the • : 30th, iiit.,, inviting me to
take part in the, proceeding's cif the W
higs• of-
Maine,' assembled in mass meeting. ,
• I ,apnreciate' most highly- the honor and
kindness of thiS invitation; und . should•lia-,4e
had true- pleasure iii accepting it. The Whigs
of Maine composed at all times- so important
a division of the great - national party ; which.
under that name, with or without of f i c i a l
- power, as a responsible administration
,or -as
only an organized..opinion, has - dote so Much
for -our- country—,„ our whole' country-L.-and
your responsibilities : at this moment are so
vast and -peculiar, -that acknowledge an
anxiety to see—not NVllit to hear=--with - what,
noble bearing you meet
_the deMandS of the
time. If-the tried legions, to whom it is °gin;
mitted. .to guard the frontier, of the - Union,:
falter - now,. who, any where, can he entrusted?
My-engagements, however, and the neces-'
sity 'and expedioney' of _abstaining 'from all
speech requiring much effort, 'will prevent my
being with you. And yet,- invited to, share
in your counsels, and grateful _for' such
tinction, I cannot, whbllY decline :My oWn
opinion' on 'one of the . duties- of the-Whis iu
what yoicwell &Scribe' aS " the present crisis
in the political affairs of the country."
.1
cannot now, and need not, pause to ,elaborate
or -defend them. - -What I think, and what .1
have decided to do,, permit nie in the briefest
and plainest expression-to tell you. ‘, -
The first duty, 'then, of Whigs, not merely_
as patriots and as- citizens,--loving, with a
large and equal love our whole nativeland,—
but as,Whigs, and_ because we are Whigs,' is;
'to unite with-some organization of our coun
trymen, to - defeat and dissolve the new geo
graphical party, calling itself Republican. L----
This is our first duly.- ' -It would_ mereekactly
express my opinion to say; that at 'this mo
ment, it is-our.only. duty. _Certainly, atleaSt,"
it comprehends or Suspends all others • 'arid
in my judgment, the question for-each: and
every-one of us is; not - whether thiS candidate:
or that candidate would,be oar first choice
not whether- there - is some good - talk in'the
- worst-platform, and some bad talk in the best.
piatforin ; not whether.thiS Man's' ambition ;
or that man's servility, - or boldness, or fanat
icism, or• violence, - is respothible fOr: putting,
the wild waters in this uproar;---but jUstthis,
—by what'-vote can 1 - do most to prevent the
madneSs of the times from working its mad
dest itct,'Hthe Very,ecStacy, of r its
the permanent formation and thonctual pres
ent- tritimph-of a,,partyl;thich knows , ono half

and civil blessings, all the - races and all the
conditions Which- compose our vast and vari- .

whose arm can guard our flag,'develope our
resources, extend our trade ; and fill the mons

,our convictions, the triumph of such a-Party

EBENSBURG, Aug. 6th, 1856:
- MY DEAR, -
The-course which I have felt cbnipelled' to
take in-the epprettehing:political contest, has
elicited much'of condemnation.and' some ap
probation, froth men -With. whonil have acted
- tor near ,ft quarter of 'a - century. -
It is due to my early - and steadfast friends,
as well as to myself, that -Ishould. either jus
tify myself, 'or be the fit subject of their scorn,
as a recreant froni, principles which I still
-have an abiding faith in. '-2 -
The cherished :doctrines of DANnu WEB
STER and. HENRY : CLAY; Will receive full ac
.quiescence from Me, 'so long as reason retains
her' dominion. within .the earthly case that re
tains the mind, the thoughts and energy
(small though they-be;) - with which the giver
of all good has endowed The.'
-The first question Which -presented itself to
me after the nominations, were' Made was=-:
Where is the Whig Party ? To that question
'I have obtained no satisfactory . ansWek. Some
tell me that it is tole found: na'rthe stables,
out-houses, caverns and fence corners of the
foul band. of conspirators, - who in enormity,
crime and- blasphemy hive Shamed and driven
back to the-gloomy shades of eternal desola
tion,-the sulphuric shades Of Marat, Danton,
Robespiere, and their_ fellow' ncarnations of
all that was vile, ;wicked, herr - dila - of other
clays. 'I believe it'nOt The party so loving
the Constitution of our country—so - faithful
-to the principles of self-government.' 'Aye,
that party. of Webster.and of -Clay, and. our
own John Sergeant- and Walter Forward,
- never did, never can sacrifice itself in the
lewd - embraces of midnight conspirators, col
hiding,together unseen by any_but - the aveng
ing Angel, .and. their- fit, associates, low- de
mons Spewed forth from- Hell to give, some
.tone and charader to their infernal.
The Whigs I - We, thy friend, are not with, or
of their. - - _
Where thdift is that noble, trustworthy, true
• party . to' which 'we _belonged ? Is it- to. be
found in :principle or practice_ among. the
'Black Republicans? No.! No! That old
• line Whig cannot be found: mean enough - to
descend from .llarrison, Clay, Wehster, Tay
lor, Scott and host§ of mighty spirits who
adorned not only our party,.and the councils
.of the nation, but human nature itself, by_
their brillianttalents, pure' lives, honest, fer
vid patriotism, to John. C. Fremont. What
arehis antecedents ? Are they such as would
recommend him for a eommon county office ?
Is the climbing of mountains, the. eating of
reptiles, the degrading sentence of a court
martial, the contumely with which he - Was
hurled out of-the United States Senate, -'the
fraii.dulentspebulationwith government funds
-in mild' cows; or the crowning feat of his in
glorious life, in accepting nomination which
if consummated by ,eleetion. would. scatter to
- the-four winds'of. Heaven the labors of our
(not his) fathers. "Are; I - ask, theie the rea
sons which -will-inthice the American people

MIS REASONS FOR SUPPORTING JAMES BUCIISNAN
This gentleman, a leading Whig of Massa
chusetts, and formerly Speaker. 'of the House
of Representatives in Congress, was lately in
vited to attend a Kansas Aid Meeting in Fan
ueil Hall in Boston, to which he replies in a
calm, dignified manner, but takes occasion to
administer a just and merited rebuke to such
traitors, as are instigating rebellion in Kan
sas, thereby visiting upon :the country the
evils.of civil war and a dissolution of this
glorious Union. His letter is worthy of an
old - line Whig statesman, whose affections are
centered on the Constitution of his country,
and who is willing to sacrifice party attach-,
merits Nylon our_free institutions are in peril.
In, closing his letter he states his position in
the following language: .
" This is really but one absorbing question
now before the people. In the solemn mag-_
nitude of its presence all others are hushed.
This question is at last presented in a tangi
ble form,, shall, the Union -be preserved ? or
shall the first step be taken toward the entire
disrUption of the Statei of the Union by a
severance of "the North from the Sonthl---
Looking at the political signs of tho times,
with this question
_staring, us in the face, we
make our choice of candidates.- The nomi
nees of the Cincinnati. Convention make the
preservation of the Union the matter of par
amount interest; Other principles are advo
cated; but if any subserviency is to be made;
all the others may 'be compromised, all of,
them may be subservient ; but "the Union, it
must be preserved."
On the other - hand, the . preservatien of
the Union is a minor and secondary principle
'with those who have -met in convention un-'
der the title of Republicans. With them the
-preservation of the Union is to be tolerated
as a matter of contingency. ; Mr. Banks com
mitted the first act of treason in declaring in
the halls of Cong Tess that he was in favor 'of
"letting the Union slide," •unless - a favorite
crochet of his own or his associates could be
endorsed.'
'Thisis the broad and grand division of
the qUestion that • now divides the country;
and in viewof it we hesitate not to declare
our 'infinite preference for James Buchanan
to _any other man , who sustains the least
chance of - election, and to, endorge . him as a
man - well _calculated to, :face .the factions in
our own land, and the - wiles, and cbrabina,
tions, and manifold' diplomacy of the triek
ster politicians of the old world." -
. The Black Republicans are clamorous for
the admiSsion of Kansas as afree State. un
der -the Topeka Constitution'.
We aver that , under -that Constitution it
cannot be admitted -as afree.State, because
one of its proviSions prohibits , under severe
penalties the - settlement qf any free lzegroes
there. • - -
Thus we find - tbe Black Republicans, who
have - been bellowing against slavery and
shrieking for freedom to the black Irian, fix
ing severe penal - ties - in' the fundamental law
of Kansas•against hie settlenient there.
Such is their sympathy fOr the negro !
Well does the, Detroit _Free Press remar-ki
-"Yes; reader;' this free . State _Constitution
- thakes it an offence for a free black man to
enter - the Stato of Kansas!. It treats him not
ins a man and. a • brother, but as an 'outcast
-aitd-a wanderer, whose footstep upon Kansas
-soil is pollution ! ' We have. heard" "much of
''the obnoxious acts prissod by the Territorial
lecrislature of Kansas, but.we-submit whethi
er c 'there is one law among them so barbarous
as this•iireparable constitutional provision--
so hostile to libertv—,a6 at war with the spir
it of tholige:' Why, no slave State has in
its fundamental.• law or -uponits statute book
anything so cruelly proscriptive of the black
race." • • • . -

Every -good citizen, on - the return of a
Presidential election, owes the duty to his
country, to examine parties and their conse
quences: and, having done this, vote as his
judgment dictates.
There have been seventeen elections- of
President. .Let the critical observer ge over
them all and look at the administration of
them all ; and he will find that all have had a
national cast ; that the candidates have been
supported, and, after Washington's adminis,
tration, by parties without reference to locali
ties. On the occasion of the re-election of
Jefferson, the 'party opposed to him—and it
had its centre in New England=--voted for
Charles Cotesworth Pinckney, of- South Car
olina ; and he continued to be 'the candidate
of the same party in the first election of Madi
son. James Monroe was elected by the votes
of all the States—with the, solitary exception
that one of the electors gave his vote for-John
Adams. In-1825n11 the States but two, and
those Ohio and Virginia, gaye their votes for
John Calhoun for Vice President: -In- the
election of 1828 the great States of York,
Ohio and Pennsylvania, and other Northern
States cast nearly as many votes for Jackson,
as other Northern States cast for Adams. It
is unnecessary to do more than name the re
cent elections of Harrison, Polk, Taylor, and
Pierce, where a national spirit is seen perva
ding them.—The obseiver, in the results,
will look in vain for the evidence of section
alism, for they all bear the glorious impress
of nationality.
The same great feature is seen running'
through successive administrations. - The
whole world can offer no prouder catalogue
of characters worthy to be called statesmen ;
men trained in civil affairs; and who under•
stand the wants of our country, and who
patriotically labored for its interests, than the
catalogue of those who have been.at the head
of our executive department, There is seen,
too, this same feature of nationality; the repre,
sentativo men of different sections of our
country, ever faithful - 0-the rights of all sec.'
tions, and yet ever true also to what the
whole country required of them, There is
Jefferson, of the South, acting with Hamilton
of the North; John Marshall; of 'Virginia ;
acting with Samuel Dexter of Massachusetts;
James Madison and, Albert Gallatin ;- John
Q. Adams 'with John C, Calhoun ; Henry
Clay with Richard Rush ; Edward. Livingston
with Louis McLane ; Daniel Webster with
Hugh S. Legare ; and so We might go on,
enumerating the great statesmen of the iSTOrth
and South who have honored the country,
and whose renown is of, the treasures of the
country, and who - Side by side have worked
together to consolidate its strength and pro.
mote its interests. Here, too, we see the
marked characteristic of nationality ,---Suck
administrations were not composed . of men
-representing but a fragment of our: country;
they represented. a boundary as wide as the
constitution of. the Union, - they represented
nothing. less than the - whole - country. *
The-true issue. of this Presidential election'
is: Shall a party prevail which is ekclusive
-IY. confined to the North, and - which seeks-•t
halve and divide our country? Or shall the
.. Democratic party prevail, which has aferai.
ties or 'organization nation-wide,; Which' has
basis principles as wide as our- ConStitution
extends, which would guard alike the rights
of all sections of our country; which would
renew in this election, as they /lave been prac,
