FRIDAY, OCTOBER 29,. 1858. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1868/ Eighth District of IllasßftchUBe 4 tts» Wo make tho following extracts from the. letter of acceptance of Benjamin F. Botler, Esq., who is now running as the candidate for Oongress in tho Eighth district of Massachusetts. Direct taxation, htfjWfy;. is theoretically tho cheapest and mtfct/jUSt form of sustaining a Government} but.it. is an impossibility under our form of gdyerfi wont ! “Tho only form of speoifio tax wo have though, tho Post and Patont Offices would, from its injpjitice' and inequality, deter statesmen from huswltag an experiment in that direction, unless promise# systom could be devised than exactions upon fho oorreBpondonoe and inventive goniuS of tho mechanic.” Free trado is illusory, and Veen only bo advocated os apraotloat question by thold who would blindly exempt commoroe from its fair share of the public burden, in return for tho JHghfc house, tho harbnrimprovements, and coast survey, by which itself is guarded and eneoumged by the General Government, to say nothing of the heavy exponses of the navy ‘which is employed to pro trot it on every soa. Besides, that portion 6f the Uuion which is supposed to be moqtin favor of freo trade would pauso when its adoption should Joid tondireot taxation, apportioned according io tlio Constitution. Tho slavoboldtng Btatos hnve thus far almost constantly enjoyed tho represent# tion whioh follows from adding 4 tbroc-fif-hs of, fill other persons,’ to tho ‘ whole number of free pa eons ’ in tho apportionment of representatida< without the burden of taxation which the framer* of the Constitution intended should attend that right. Would they he willing that their negroes should first be oounted as three-fifths of the poptt-i latiou to swell their portion of a tax, and then tb<f some negroes to bo reckoned ns property on wblcS tolovyit? Or, to illustrate, that the owner bf thirty negroes should have apportioned to him tbo taxes of eighteen white raon, and then have tho whole thirty valued at from $l,OOO to $1,500 each, rated as property or as polls, on whioh to levy the same tax as against his poorer white neighbor ?” Mr. Butler then arguos that tho enlarge ment of our territory and tho expensive nature of increasing governmental service on the Pacific coast, and through the intervening wilds, must carry up tbe annual expense of our Government to ono hundred millions of dollars: “ This sum surely will furnish a sufficient margin upon whioh, with proper discrimination, all tbo. protection may be fa6*ono<l which its most ardent friends might to desire. Indeed, the only fear would seem to bo that, to raise this so groat sum,t without deep thought and most careful adaptation to the wants of trade, would bo likely to embarrasi tbe manufacturer, eitbor by forcing a. tariff upoi tho raw material whioh ho or by raising uf a ruinous home competition from the protootin* incidental to levying tho required amount. If, tbon, a sum sufficient for all purposes of proteotioo, with judioious discrimination, he needed for the übo of the Government, it would seem that those who advocate a tariff for protection merely could easily act with those who would raise a revenue for Government purposeslwith incidental protection. Both now como to tho siime result. “Is thore, then, any violation ofDemooratio principles, where a revenue must be raised by. Im posts, in discriminating in favor of American labor and American production? I do not fee any. This, I bolieve, to be tho ‘ protective tariff ’ advocated by Jefferson, and tbe truo theory of the ‘judicious tariff 1 enunciated by Jaokson. The impost should be, first, as light as possible on tho necessaries of life, as also upon those, raw mate rials, not tbe production of the eountry, whioh are nsod in tho various processes of manufacture and the arts; socondly, a duty upon nil articles whioh may be proporly made boro, sufficient to proteot tho operatives from tho difference iiutho value of money and labor between this country and Europe; thirdly, a duty whiob should proteot all raw mate rials tho production of this country, suoh as iron and coal; and, lastly, a tax upon articles of luxury largo enough to rnlso a sufficient revenue, consist ently with prevention of smuggling, by not too great per centago upon articles of eosy conceal ment “ Whether duties should bo specific or ad valo rem iscloarlydetorminod by tho question, whether, after the wisdom of Congress has devised a system of imports in their judgment best for the country, that doslgn should bo frustrated and tbe relations, of the parts of the systom to each other, wholly disarranged by the frauds of tho foreigb importer, subject only to the easily battled guards of, ap praisement. at tbe 'fcort of entry. If Wo are to , have a tariff at all, let it be fixed and! certain, so thnfc our business men, whether raerobahts orman upturns,may rcgulato tltoircommercial relations by It, nob vibrating with the elasticity of an tap-* .norfrerX-noakfenao. or. l.wrlt in the s4nd/-,4)f' ‘a ■ custom-house off!*e*o-^r«&t based upon the distinbtlons above set forth, bxt appoars to have had its schedules governed either by accident or bowo supposed adaptation to the amount of revenue to be raised, whioh 'experience has. not approved. Tbe tariff of 1857 labors under too grave imputations as to the motives whioh framed it to furnish muoh guide, of itself, to the judioious legislator.” Portraits of Washington* [For The Press.) Washington, fa a letter to Franois Hopklnson, under date of 1735, thus speaks of the painters: “ In for a penny, in for a pound, is an bid adage. I am so hackneyed to tho touches of the paintor’s pencil, that I am now altogether at their book, and sit Hko pationco on a inonUraont whilst they are delineating the lines of my face. It is a proof, among many others, of what habit and oustorn can effect. At Arab I was as impatient at the request, and as TostiVo_tinder the dpoVfitlon, a 4 a oolfc is of the saddle. The nokt tithe I submitted Verjr re luctantly, but with less flouncing. “ Now, no dray moves moro readily to the thill than I do to tho painter’s chair. It may easily be conooived, therefore, that I yielded a ready obedinneo to your request, and to the views of Mr. Pine.” It is said that Charles Wilson Peale painted fourteen portraits of Washington. One painted in 1772 is at Arlington House, near Alexandria, Va , the seat of tbe late G. W. P. Custis, Evq. An engraved copy of this ploture may be seen in the second volume of. Irving’s Washington. Another. picture by Mr. Peale (full Wgtb) .Is at Nassau Rail, Princeton; and another is in Wash ington oity; where the others are onr notes do not say. James Peale painted two pictures. A mlniatnro hv this artist, painted in 1788, belongs to the Washington Grays of this city. The ploturo by Mr. Rembrandt Pealo was painted in 1796. We shall soon hear from Mr. Peale tho particulars of this sitting, and seo tho work of his pencil. J. Wright painted a portrait in 1783, at Head Quarters, Rooky Hill, New Jcrsoy. This picturo is in Philadelphia. Win Dunlap also painted a portrait in 1781. Mr Pine, of England, painted a portrait in 1785. This picture is row in Now York. Mr Archibald Robertson, a Scotchman, minted a miniatnre in 1701. This miniature Is said to be In Now York. Trumbull’* full-length picture is in the Oity Hall, New York. A portrait by Mr. Savage, painted in 1789, Iff In the llntvewity at Cambridge. Mr. Rnmagc painted a miniature in 1789- The Marchioness de ftrienne, in 1789, painted a rainißtnre, and presented it to Washington. This picture is now at Arlington Ifonso. Mr, Rharplesa is said to have painted, in 179 ft. two small portrnits In crayon, one a profile, the other a front view. Wurtmuiler. of Sweden, painted bis picture in 1795 This portrait, is now in possession of Ohas. Aug Davis, Esq , New York. An engraved copy of it graces tho first volume of Irving’s Life. Gilbert Stuart painted two or more pictures. One painted in 1795 is row in the Dostou Athe* nteura; another, paintod for Mrs. Bingham, was by that lady presented to tbe Mnrquls of Lana downo Stuart’s picture was engraved by tho colebrated Edwin, for Marshall’s Life of Washing ton, and tho circulation thus given it, under tho sanotion of the Washington family, has made this picture moro familiar to ns than the others A fine engraved copy of this pnrtraitJs given in tbe Si vol. of Irving. Thoro aro, no doubt many other portraits taken from life, but tho list hero given is sufiloiont to show that Washington must ave spent many hours with the nrtißts. K. Municipal Bonds* [For Tho Press.] I oannot seo any justico In the pleas set up by the peoplo of Alleghany connty to the payment of thoir munloipal bonds. Borne years ago I invested $lO,OOO of trust money In those bonds, under the sanotion of tho Court of Common Pleas, of this oounty, and al though I paid above par for these obligat ions, the sitting judge complimented me upon tho judiolous monngemont of tho fund— beoauEe I had sold out a prior investment at a profit, and nominally in oreased the prlnoipal by this re-investment in a supposed undoubted security. _ I purchased these bonds upon the faith of Alle gheny county—not upon tho security of any rail road onterpriBo. They bore every mark and stamp of municipal authority upon them; and thus signed, sealed, and attested, were negotiated to unsuspecting purohmors at fair rates. Under auoh olrcumstances. oan repudiation bo justified, or does not tho effort savor of downright dis honesty ? Would such a atop bo tolerated in an individual for a moment? Would not tbe law be invoked to bring tho refraotory delinquent to a sense of his obligation to his oreditor? Why, then, should a corporation, tho embodiment of a community, bound for its own safety, and bv its almost parontal duties, to set an. example of honesty, avail itself of frivolous and immoral ex cuses to avoid a legal obligation of its own °/®** tion, put into circulation upon its plighted faith and credit? The reason is obvious. The corporation is pow erful; it is without body or soul either to be pun ished or reproaobod ; tbo people who comprise the corporation shelter themselves undor this legal fiotion, and hold thomeelves henoßfc while the body polltio is inoapablo of blushing at the dis ®r q*he law is said to bo adequate and officlont. Modern degoneraoy has not touobed tlm judiciary, and wo will shortly see whether a municipal cor poration onn issue its bonds undor sanotion oi ju* diciat decision, and in conformity with aoto ot AS* | scmbly, and then deliberately repudiate them^ SPEECH OF JOHN W. FORNEY, AT CJAMDEN, NEW JEBSET, Evening, Oct. 37, 1858. Fellow-Citizens : The subject of whioh lam ,-ftbout to speak to “ft thrioo told tnlo Ifeuo with you arc happily familiar. Probably at no in our political history has any prinoiple 'been so thoroughly discussed, or so well and widoly understood, as that which is now agitating tho ' .-countty. ; f, ■, I Kaye been in New Jersey for three days of tho flaat week; I have seon you, follow-citizens, face tofooo; I have addressed the people of Sufsox, (Morris, And Passaic; and I think I onn answer, if - ?ribt for the result of tho election in that Congres sional district, at tho least for tho earnest sincerity • ijjof the poo'ple, their deep determination to assort (their rights, and their resolute purpose to parse j.VefoHn tho, contest until those rights shall have -been not only in the Stato, hut In .btiothor groat national contest, with an emphasis : as will leave no room to doubt hereafter. ‘..[ApplauFe j ' ,vl '’.found in that Congressional distriot a state such ns filled uiy heart with joy. I found tho great party to which I have belonged (all toy life, and to which I belong now fnpplanso], aroused to a keen and sensitive appreciation of its •torn.duties, and a calm determination to discard tiny nomination, no matter how made, wbtcb dots not respeot great fundamental Deroosratio princi ples.l -No wonder that those who orente Adminis trations should at last have taken into their own bands the power which has been abused by their and no wonder thai these servants utbonld have been appalled at 'he upriAng of the Utessos in nil parts of the North ,* for while the people arc slow to anger and slow to aotion, yet, frhen they do move, thoy move with the resistless nifljesty and unconquerable rapidity of tho ava lanche..covering {us a mountain covers that upon whioh it falls) thoso who botray them. [Ap ptauso J. ‘ This is a contoet rising abovo individual disap pointment; ono whioh puts out of view ordinary qntagqnieins—a contest with which faotiona have nothing-to do, and before which the arrangements, afcdspcculations, and theories of politicians sub side and die. For it is n contest on the part of tho 2/etdoijratfc party to rid iisolf of an incubus that ;hafi bobn fastened Upon it, and cn tho part of tho other organisations of tho country to denounce dpgtans and theories, from which thoy, in their •turn, havo oxporienced injury. - •‘Look for a moment. fellow*B*ti**ns, at the his tory of this oase Long before Mr. Bunhanan bad received the Presidential nomination’ of the De mocracy—while ho was still 'our minister at a foreign oourt—he was tho accepted representative Northern feeling; he was theutypo of a national conservatism. By from the country He had escaped tho trots}oBtbat arose out ot tho Kansas-Nebrasha bill,-OTt<b its repoal of the Mis souri ‘tomproiniso. In 'tho midst of the party difficulties which !hen’ J bxistod, tho»e who had differed from him informer yoare—tho friends of fifr. Gass, Mr. Dallas, and others —took up his naune as the only name to prevent'tho oountry 'from filling into tho hagds.ot an opposing organi sation. Jio refuroD/l tfffphlhji'bpe.fofind iho fruit ilhouod to his hand—to* ready foz*’ tbh gathering; and, utideymcum&tonces which-it la needier for mo be received the no tuinaiionof the DoindCratib parly. .Probably no man so well understood the duty lie had to dis charge ; never boforo had tho countrv-so well un derstood It* dury to a public man. He front into the canvass; ho pledged himself by bis loiter of aooepUnoe, as he plorfgod himself subsequently bv his inaugural address; and the issue wtnch placed him in the Presidency, and that to which be looked for tho future, was tho same that we are now discussing. \ ■ Remember, in the campaign of 1556, wo had no tariff issuo; tho Ostend Conference was not made i question, exeopt imnmtori illy, hero and there ; the Paoifie Railroad concerned only tho people of California i the great question was, whether tho peoplo oi tho Territories thould be permitted to ma ftagotheir uff.iirsin theirnwnway, and whethor the will of the majority should prevail. That was an Issue to which the Democratic party responded enthusiastically, tt involved a prinoiplo which aroused all tho memories of tho past—a prinoiplo which, had Mr. Buohanan stood true to it nftor Ue olection, os ho pledged himself to do before the oleolion, would have left the country In tho hands of tho Drmocratio party for unnumbered yeftrs—nyo, which would have extinguished all oflter organizations. There would havo been no Republican parly, then would havo been no Ame rican party, bad Mr. Buchanan been true to ins own volunteered promises nud* pledges; there would havo be&n one great notional organisa tion —tho organization of the Democratic party ; for, as I have said boforo, the people of this country a& not all ofiieo-hunicrs. Nincty-uine men out.of a hundred are disinterested in their relations to tho Government. Tho mechanic, tho wsrking mta, tho merchant, the farmer, are interested sim ply jn good administration; ihoy desire to see tho Government so conducted as to be to them tho least byplonuome. They allow the machinery of pur tlfctfdo he controlled by partisans and politicians— b/tuo ambitiotis inon who riro looking forward to plftee; and It Is a happy thing for tnoin If they ‘bfevo any Administration wbiolt recognises the pialu. bitoplo, fundaments maxims which Ire- of our free institutions. Therefore it froS'fhit, when'Mr. Baohanno pronounced his in* member, was a model paper of ittf kind—'honvst and oandid men said one to unotbor, “ This gontle man suits ub ; ho has reached that tlmo of life wheo he can afford to bo Independent of mere par tisanship : we do not ask that he should be sec tional; we do not ask that ho should be a mere Northern than : wo ask simply that ho should so conduct himself as to settle this vexations and harmful slavery question, whloh is disturbing our business delations, whloh Is tqrnlng Congress into a bear-garden, which is placiog us before tho na tions of the earth, not as an example, but ns a spectacle, from whioh they ell seem to turn ” Tons it was, whon tho inaugural was prosentod to the country, mon of ibis port road and re-road it; thoy applauded it, and they confided iu the man. That was a proud hour for the Deranornovthat was an hodr frben tho young ipen and tho old m»n of tho Democrat o party folt that tho battle which had beon so bravely fought in tho year boforo had net been wantonly or uselessly fodghto-had not been fought without profit, but that there was to bo a glorious harvest—that the good name of tho party was about to be redeezUed —that its escutcheon was to be made still more bright by tho manner in which our Presidential choice should discharge his duties. If Mr Buchanan had taken advantage of thi& stato of {rablio feeling—>if ho had dosorvod to secure a triumphant ro-oleotlou, ho had only to fulfil thesepleilgofl— to maintain this simple, j>?nc tioal, old-fash oncd republican principle. And Mr. Buohanan did so intend to do; for when this, the only groat i«sno boforo him, came under discueaion in tho Cabinet, bo seleoted ns his agents to be aont to Kansas no ordinary men; bo oboso from among tho giants of the Democratic party; ho seleoted, not partisans, not tricksters and hucksters of faction, but stiltesihen. One had rerved with eminenoe in the Ssnnte of tho United States for twelve years; the other bad served with equal distinction in the popular branoh of Con gress for ton years: the one a oitizen of Mis* sissippi, born in Pennsylvania; tbo other a citizen of Tennessee, born in the Dishict of Columbia. No men were more surprised than they when tho call was made upon them by the President of tbo United States to go upon this thankless and exacting mission. You know (for it is a mattor of history) how thoy at first refused to go, regarding tho mission as ono that must end in dlscomfituro and disastor, as in fact it has ended to them personally, though it strikes me that neither hag lost by tho manner in whloh he has discharged his duly. Yet, on the earnest ap peal of Mr. Buohanan, thoy went to Kansas. They wont there clothod with his instructions; surrounded by his coufldenoo; with bis entire Administration sustaining them; with tho whole oountry at their backs; with men of all parties ready to confide in them. Every step thoso two mon took was an honest and manly step. They came there both Southern mon, with nil i their prejudices in favor of the peculiar institu tion. They found that the Territory had fallen into tbo bunds of a minority, backed by the army 1 of tbo United Suites—booked by the Treasury of the United States—booked by tbo hordos from Missouri, and that fraud, rapine, violence, and bloodshed feigned supreme The proof—the ma nifest proof—of the mismanagement of affairs in that Territory booame so tangible, that these in dependent mon oould nob rosist it. When tbe great Oxford and M’Ghoo frauds bcoarne apparent —frauds porpetratod for the purpose of fastening upon the poople of tho Territory a pro-slavery Convention, and arranging the affairs of the Ter ritory according to the behests of a minority— Governor Walker and Seoretary Stanton rejrotod these frauds. So they wout on. from ono stoo to another, uutil Anally Mr Buchanan. in a dark hour for himself, and a darker ono for tho Porno oratio party —yes, and a dark ono for the whole country—bon ever those who have been our poli tioßl opponents may flatter thcuisolvcs that, from the peculiar exigencies of politics, they gain by the present condition of the Demooratio party-nl say it was a dark hour for tho oountry when Mr. Buohanan oonoluded to surrender the promise whioh he had pledged himself to fulfil, and to break tho vow whioh he bad ptighted before the whole oountry. It is a dark hour whenever a great principle Hire this, having boon brought in issue, is deserted by tho Chief Maglstrato of our °°Btttiir. Buchanan deserted those noble men; ho deported those who noted with them; he de serted that portion of the Democratic party that stood by thorn; ho deserted those imlapoudont men who stood ready to unite with tho Democratic time when tbo Administration dotennln- , ed to abandon its faith, and to desert Governor Walker and Seoretary Stanton, there was not a man —no, not a postmaster—that was not an anti Le* oompton Deinoorat. [Applause.] They were all whore lam to-day. (Renewed applause ] Then began that most sbamoless transformation that most ridiculous and disgusting exhibition ; then, men who had been applauding the Administration for standing by Walker and Stanton—wlm had been upholding Mr. Buobanan’s Kansas polioy as tho just and reasonable settlement of tbe Kansas ques tion—who had been pointing to tbo Demooratio party as a party of fidelity and honor nnd integ rity and patriotism, beonnso thatparty was stand ing up for its promiso and its pledges—then these men, commanded by tho Preeidont of tho Untted States, baoked from their own words, and in a. night beoame tho accusers of tho very policy and the very principle whioh thoy had worshipped the day befere ! [Applause.] Bo much for those who are now contending that the men with whom I am noting are “outside of the Demooratio patty;” as if wo, the conservators of the principles ot the party, oared for their abuse, regarded thoir de nunciation, or did not dofy their threats. (Loud applause.] If the Ropublicah party had committed tho onme of whioh I arraign thisjAdministration, they would have boon hurled Into porpo’ual obscurity. And shall the Demooratio party bo hold responsible for the errors and tho sinßof an Administration whioh arrogates to itself the name of the Demooratio party? It Is not the Demooratio party. [Loud applause.] It is but an Administration—the oroa ture, the slave, of the party, flofc its master—[re- sewed applause]; and when a dependent, a subor dinate defies his superiors, there is but one way to do with him, and that is to get rid of him at once and forever. [Loud oheor?.] But aftor the betrayal of whioh I have spoken, those who co-oporated at that time with Governor Walker and Secretary Stanton did not desire, con sidering their long attachment to the Democratic party, to break with this Administration. They saw that the Administration h»d committed a ca pital error; thoy Biw that it had imperilled the party in every free State : but that Administration was presided over by a venerable statesman; it had still three years end a half to run ; they did not desire to get into any difficulty with it; and thereforo it was proposed te Mr/ Buohanan repeatedly (as Judge Douglas said the other day at Alton, Illinois) that there should bo an agreement to disagree; that wo should bo per mitted to ontertnin our own opinions upon this issue. In tho days of the Bank of the United ■States, General Jackson (and no one will charge that ho wna an indulgont (’resident) vrna its severe and remorseless opponent: yot when Henry Horn, a Representative in Congress from the city of Phi ladelphia, catlod upon him,saying that the people of his district were in favor <f tho bank, and that ho would bo compelled to vote for it, but did not wish to have ony misunderstanding with the Pre sident, Genorai Jackson said, “Do so, Mr. Horn. You nro my friend; you can support me upon other branches of my policy. I regret that you oanuot give me your vole; butvotefor the bank ” And vote for tho bank he did. When, during the Administration of James K Polk, Congress was engaged in tho discussion of tho tariff of 1840, an Administration measure, no test was made upon tho Democrats of Pennsylvania who wore against that tariff. A groat many of our soundest and best men, as we all know, wore in favor of tho protec tive principle—in favor of.tho tariff of 1842 The entiro delegation from Pennsylvania in the House of Representatives (with a sing’o exception) voted against tho tariff of [B4G an Administration mea sure. Yet they wore tolerated in the Democratic church. The great measure of franklin Pierce’s Administration was the repeal of the Missouri Compromise; yet no test was made upon Democrats who were against that repeal. r J homas J D Pul ler, now tho Beoond Auditor at Washington, then a Representative from Maine, steadily voted against the repeal of tho Miss turi lino;,yot ho was not oxpellod from tho Democratic prirty; ho was not cstraoised, ho was not oxoommunseotod Thus we desired simply to be perraiLted to disa gree. God knows none of us wished to quarrel with this Administration. 1 had no desire to do so All tho hopes of my life were around that Ad ministration. Oiroumstaooes, which it is not neces sary to detail, had compelled me to doolino every position offered to me—many of these offers far beyond my desorts. I was too poor to go into of fioe; Ihad no'ambition for place; I dealied, simply in the line of my profession, to support that Ad ministration. I wish those gentlemen who are paid so muoh a day for maligning the advocates of this great dootrino of popular sovereignty, when they charge mo with disippoin’ment, alleging that in co operating with tho gentlemen who lead in this onuse, lam animated by personal griefs, would remember that thoy can be especially and inti mutely informed on that quoation b.y going to the Whito Mousoand asking tho President himself. [Applause ] There wos, then, no disposition to quarrel with the Administration—cone in the world. Wo had seen Mr Buohanan give way at aoritioal moment; but ho had much to do that was good. Wo con sidered that he might have committed an orror of judgment; we certainly did not think that we had tl«ne so; so we almost got on our knees before him and bogged to bo permitted to believe that tbo principle which put him into power was still true and still right. The answer to this was ostracism— was a haughty, and I must say, a heartless refusal, a determination to make tbo betrayal of outrights a test in tbo Dcmuurntio party, sayiDg in so muoy w*nls, “You must admit that you havo done wroog; you must Bay that wo have dono right; you shall sin ns wo have sinned, or you shall go out of the Democratic party.” Gontlomon, the worm, when trodden upon, will do its boat to striko; the rat, driven into ft oornor, will fight. And the men to whom this language was used werenoitbor worms nor rats; they were mon—independent men; and when the cry was that he would make his test upon us with his ofii cos our answer was, “So be it; we will make the tost at tbo ballot-boxes ” [Loud applause ] Why. in thotstep Mr. Buohnnnnraado the blun der of nis lifetime. If be had a thousand years to Hvo, ho nover oould reoall that great mistako ; nay, if ho could outlivo forty generations, be oould not rcoover himself, after having put into our hands thla great, imperishable principle with wbioh to contend against his Administration. Tbo fire-oater.-t «f tho South—they who had at tempted to destroy him at Cincinnati—who had gone there for the purposo of taking his heart’s blood, (so to spoak,) oecattso ho did not favor their peculiar demand—who would, had itheenin their power, have prevonted him from ocoupying the position which he now holds—they oamo to him, and said, in so many words, “Her? you are, stand ing by Walker and Stanton; hero you are, stand ing by the rights of the North, and by tho rights, too, of all tho Union ; here you are, upholding the principle of tho equality of the States: wo de mand that you shall back down from that posi tion, and if you full to do so, we will appeal ■to our respootive vonstltoencies at home, and wo will go out of the Union ” Oh, what en opportu nity that for. ft statesman! Oh, what an upper- Ttmtty tn tally in the affeotions of posterity! Had Mr. Bnohnnitn dono no other act, tho act of extermi nating that breed of vipers, and of putting the heel of indignation upon them, would, itself, have rendered him immortal. [Applause} Hid he said to them, “Go back to your constituencies; go back to Texas, to Alabama, to Georgia, to Mis sissippi; call your disunion oonvenfions—declare in your call that you take an appeal from me be cause I stand l»y the doolrine of pOnnJnf sove reignty, and tho pledges (f 1850:” had ho done this, what wculd the result have been? Why, gentlemen, the people of tho Siuth urn. »s we aro. Americans: they are attached to tho Union—de voted, deeply devoted to it; and if mon. driven bock to their homos, had dared to rui?o the star dard of revolt, to up'ift tho flag of di<- tialonj then, in every township of tho South, hosts of young men would Have ootne forth, and would have buried these agitators and fanatics beneath tbo Sods of the valley. [Applause J In 1851, ns yon iday reoolleot, afrer the passage of the Comp-oElme moe*ures, certain gentlemen from the South went home to their constituents for the purpose of taking an appeal against General Cos'*. Mr. C/lay, Mr Webster, Judge Dnugl**s. and o‘hor patriots, becauso a great principle had been adopted in place of tho old doctrine of Congres sional intervention They hod lo«t California California w.iaa free State; she had heon admitted into tho Union with boundaries that did not pint them ; and they appealed to their people. Jeffer son Davis himself—a hero and a statesman—a gentleman for whom I ontertain tbo profoumlest resneot, and whoso late speeobn* in New England show that oven ho is not indifferent to the gjreat Northern sentiment —went back te Mississippi and took issue with the Compromise measures He fras defeated, completely routed, he and Ms party, by a company of comparative!? inforior men. So It would have been had Mr. Baobnnen taken the ground he ought to lmvo taken— had ho not abandoned his true, faithful, and feirles3 agent*? in Kansas. In 1831 (I think it wa«) a body of men in Geor gia got up whnt they oalled a “ Nullification’* par ty ; they said if certain things were dono. they would .appeal to tbo pconln and would dofoat tho Administration of General Jnok ß nn. Aft*r talking a long while, thoy finally raided the fi »g of dis union ; and tho moment that was dono. they woro defeated in every part of the State. Mr Wnyno, (now Justice Wayne, of the Supreme Oourtoftbe United States,) who was honored for his high and independent position by Geoeral Jackson, led the Union party in that S f ato, and became a great man by fighting these nullifiers. So would itn&vo bean with Mr. Buchanan. But, notwithstanding all the appeals made to him. he determined to make the test. The test has been made on his side, and made on the other side; you can toll who ha? h A en the gein»»r—tbe President or the people? Wo had a trial tbo other day in Pennsylvania on a somewhat rx’ond od theatre [loud applause]—tho theatre where, in 1856 a trial of strength took plnoo be tween the Republicans and tho Democrats. Pre cisely the same question was in issue the other diy that was in issue in 1856 Tho Republicans did not believe that tbe Democratic party were sinoero in regard to this prinoiple of popular sov ereignty; thoy did not belfevn that we intonded to oarry it ont; it was our business to convince them, liien, that wo did. In 1854, the Missmiri Compromise was repentod ; the reason assigned bv tho Democracy being that it was inconsistent with tho principle of non-intervention, enunciated in the Couipromiro measures of 1850. Subsequently to that not, Mr. Seward made his groat speech in tho Seriate, in which bo raised tho ery of “ ro renl.” A gre.it many who bad belonged to tho Democratic party for years, joined this now party, for the purpose, as thoy said, of robuking tho re peal of that Missouri Comprfimiso. Now, gontlomen, I bclievo that if ever tbero was an aot wbioh deserved to bo remembered with gratitude, and which will be remembered with gratitude, (no matter how raauv may be here present who doubt mv statement.) it was the oot wbioh repealed the Missouri Compromise. I ad mit that all you may have said about it would have beoir fulfilled had the Democratic party failed to oomply with its solemn pledge of ndhoronco to tho principle If wo had tVilod to maintain our plighted word, tn make good our oovennut, then the position of the Republicans would havo been right. In the campaign of 1856, you contended that we would not stand by our plod go ; but when wo have stood by if, those of us who have been faithful have a right to demand at vonr hands the vordiot of “ Well done, good and faithful servants.” I [Applause.] It is a very easy thing for politicians to make a show of boing patriots, but whon a public man be comes solemnly committed to a principle—when be Is written all over, from bend to foot, with declara tions in favor of a certain dost rink. he cannot desert that dootrine without dishonor That i* what makes men honest in this intelligent age. It would have been well if Mr. >uohanan had reoolloeted this. For my part, it would havo delighted me to bavo agreed with Mr Buohanan. I tried harder than over I did in my Ufa to agree with him Yes, if I oould have known that, ho intonded to betray tho peoplo who put him whore he w, and to givo up this great prinoiple, I would hnvo taken the first ship nftorhiß inauguration nnd hid myself and fa mily in some distant island of the sea ]Appl»u«e.] I am not sorry that.

J The . teat mado in Pennsylvania was, ns I havo saut, made indofenoo of the same principle which tne . Demooratio party uphold in 1856. This time the Administration, whioh owes its existence to this i doctrine, wasits most inveterate and unscrupm >us ! adversary, and sought to make its treachery p i ramount. Aided by tho independent m-n ef all ■ , parties, the recreancy of the Adra.nis ration was , I rohuked, and tho imperishable.prinoiple nf popu t ]ar sovereignty was sustained by the nnparallejed l I majority of Sovonty-two thousand votes ! So the ■ Administration’s tost has been pro-tested. . 1 In regard to this matter of making a test, my TWO CEJNTS. attention was reoallod to-day to a brief and signi ficant letter written by Mr. Buohanan himself, in 1855, and published in the papers of that day. It is a letter of a very remarkable oharaoter, bearing with peculiar significance upon present politics. During Mr. Buohanan’s obseooe, as I have said, the Missouri Compromise bad been repealed The is«uo in tbo Demooratio party was adherence to the principle of popular sovereignty. The. Democr atic members of Congress, at the beginning of the session which witnessed the exciting congest re sulting in tho election of Mr. Banks as Speaker, held a caucus in whioh they laid down adhereooe to the prinoiplo of the Kansas Nebraska bill. Mr. Buohanan was absent. He began tc grow stropg *£ Bfroa g or M the Demooratio candidate for toe Presidency; and it was necessary that he should speak out on this issue. He accordingly wrote a letter to Mr. John Slidell, dated London; December 28 1855 Thiß letter Mr. Slidell held in his pojket until some time ia Aoril, 1856, when it became nectssarv. before tbo National Conven tion met, tba* Mr Buchanan’s sentiments should be known The letter wns then publiriied in the Washington Union, and copied in all tbe papers It is a ouriosity of it* sort, and applies to the pre sent. day with a significance almost prophetic. He says : “Tbe question h*>s bseu settled bv Coa?r*»g; and tht« fiottlument should be index bly maintained n What settlement? The settlement that the principle of popular sovereignty should take the ptoce of Congrefstonnl intervention. He shv*, also, “ The Missouri Compromise *s rone. anO gone Tor&vor. But no as%nult should be mode on tho*e Democrats 1 oho maintained it, provided they are now willing, in good faith, to maintain the set tlement a$ it exists. Such an understanding is wise and ju't in itself “ Fie was afraid that, because he had been for the Miss ‘url line, a would be made upon him at Cincinnati; therefore, no Dcraoorat was to be put out of the party because he had been in favor of that line! ! Now, what do we see this gentleman doing, who was so noxious that no test should be made by tbe Demooratio party upon him ? We see him doing that whioh Napoleon himself would be oshamed to do—deiog that whioh, undor any ci vilized Government on the face of the earth bat ours, (a Government of law and order.) would ore ate a revolution—doing th»»t whioh, if the historian had ventured to prophesy fifty years ago, be would hnvo bron consigned to the madhouse. We see the Presilent of the Uoitod States, with a hundred millions of patronage, standing up before tho people, with sword drawn, (so to speak 1 ,) putting to death every man who will not come forward and *ay that the principle of tbe Revolution, the prin ciple ot tho Declaration of Independence, is a false hood—who will not, with him, desert that great princtole—who will not say that he did right when ho did wrong. This gentleman who, in 1855, begged that no test should be made Upon him on account of his having been in favor of a certain law of Congress—what does he do now ? He makes a test upon those men who are standing by eternal principles. ’ Look at tbe struggle now going on In Illinois; view that spectaole, and blush, if you a,re Adminis tration men. See there the leader of the popular sovereign t? party; he wb«, daring the!late session of Congress, e tood up in the Senate of United States—iissriUed on tho one hand by ( the Booth, and doubted on the other by certain members of the Republican party in tbe North—fighting through the most memorable oanvass, I venture to say, of which wo have any reoord—compelled day after day to stand there and to defend this eternal right with the eyes of the whole nation fixed upon him; going back to his State clothed with the armor of regular nominations, carrying io bis hand tbe brilliant flegof popular sovereignty, [ap plause,] followed by a sanguine, enthusiastic, and self-sicrifioing party. See him there—Assailed by whom ? Assailed by an Administration that cries out that wo nro against regular nominations here whon we will not aacept & Lecomptonito put up for Congress or some other position—tissailed for stondtng by adoctrine whioh Wits laid down in the Convention that nominated Mr. Buohanan in 1856—assailed booau e e we adhere like pten. faith fully and self-saoriflcingly. to our own plighted word. This is the test made by the president of the United States upon the leader—yes, the ao oepted leader—of that great party whiob, in the Northwest, is bound to sweep before it,all opposi tion in time to come—assailed, gentlemen, by one who to-day stands before the people without a party ; for. pair fnl as it may be to say it, this Administration is Tyhrized, It has Ipst tbe con fidence of tho South ; oven those who stood up for tie first L-*corapton policy havo deserted it on ftc cou*'t of its war upon Dougins. It is left alone in the North beouuso the unfortunate men whom it has committed to it*? English finality have boon compollcd, in order to save their politi cal lire*, to desert that finality, to leave the Administration in the lurch. Where are its friends? What has it done to cemmnnd the confidence of tho country? What is -it doing? Talk about its foreign policy 1 No man is more willing than myrelf to give it oreditfor what it has done well; bnt its foreign ?o!ioy wns tbe logi cal conclusion of whnt had been done by a former Administration. What has it done for Amerioan Industry? Nothing. What has Mr- Buchanan done for his native State of Pennsylvania, to which, on this question of the tariff, he has been promising kind and good things for twenty years? Nothing. He could have taken up that question and settled it. because his record lifts be*n a tariff record; hi 3 record had been in favor of specific duties; his record had bc3n in favor of'home in ilMStTy—.of yorrr tintunt :,rthe North, wherever m itorial interests were to be protected. He bad promised to proftnct.them. What ha* he dono? Nothing. Tho alpha and omega of bis policy is reduced to Lecoajptonlsm; tbe personnel of bis Administration is reduced to a war upon Judge Douglas and to a series of petty proscriptions, wbioh, os I witness them, compel rae to n«k myself, day after day, “ Oan it be James Buchanan who does thi«? ” Why, it seems to rno as if he were be*>et by some monstrous hal lucination, and desired to go down to hfasgrav**—l will not pay with a doubtful reputation, bat hav ing destroyed all th« fame which he had made in former vents of hi* life N'»w. gentlemen, I hnvo a mn«t melancholy an nouncement to wake in thii connection. It Is that tho newspaper, Tha Pres ?. is stopped—my Press la Rto]ip»d ! [Sensation] I did not expect, in coming hero, to do compollcd to make this sor rowful ennounocraent; but it is nevertheless tbe fnot The Press is stopned —not the ntihliik irtent, hut the •fugle copy which, the President of the United States ta&es —ft Is stopned [Lone continued shouts of Kughter J I suspect I shall survive it. [Ronowed laughter.] I have no doubt I shall survive It. But it was a terrible blow. I do not think ever two cents created so muoh havoc before. But we shall recover; wo shall gotover it. And now for the bright part of tbe story : I shall roceivo, in a few days, almost tbe only dol lar that I have ever reooived from the Federal Ad ministration —which will be about $7.50 in pay ment of The Press. [Laughter.] So wo seo that this proscription ruts from great to small It attacks a popular tribune, and it strikes down a newspaper. It turns out a post master, end it refuses to pay two oents to an inde* pendent journal: “ To sneh base uses must we eome at last.” Thus we see the Administration of the Federal Government, presiding over thirty millions of people, with all its vast patronage, with all its great powor, forgetting all its duties and all its pledges, and becoming a party to the petty jiro soriptmns whioh village politicians would despise, and whioh honorable men would lough at. [Ap plillldO ] Whon this Administration polioy was first an nounced, I said, in The Press, that the effect would be to difgrnce the party, unless the party should repad late it; and, in the next place, to de feat hundreds of good men woo would he put upon Demooratio tickets, not having had anything to do with the betrayal. Booh has been the result Many and many a glorious Demoorat, placed upon tho Democratic ticket, has been sent to obsourity booause tUteopposition party has risen against the mistakes of tne Federal Administration, and be cause the Demooratio party, through tbe conven tions of its office-holders, has been committed to these mistakes, and pledged to support them as a portion of tho party duty You havo seen how this petty proscription has extonded itself to oitizens of your own vicinity. I need not mention names; they are all familiar to yon. But it is well that it is so; it is better that it is so —it is a great deal better. We havo had a trial that baa dono us all good. It has taught all parties that the day for betraying publio opinion and for violating solemn pledges has gone You will havo no more traitors. The men who go to Congress now, if they desire to live and to die respected, will stand by tho pledges whioh thoy make But think of Ihe situation of some of the mem bers of Congress who will return to Washington next December. Take, for instance, Mr. John lluyler and Mr Wortondyke—oompelled to go book to Washington for three mouths. I do not think it will be longer—[laughter and applause.] Both these gentlemen voted for tbe English bill, thereby declaring their opinion that Kansas ought not to couio into the Union till she shall hnvo at tained a population of nearly 94.000. They so lemnly voted for that bill, the Administration at their back. Returning home, they saw scowling countenances, and heard indignant denunciations; and tho first thing they did was to renounce their obligations, to give up their promises, and to say that if, when they should return to Congress, Kansas should present a Constitution and apply for admission, they would, irrespective of population, vote to admit her. My impression is that the peo ple of their districts are not disposed to trust them foranothor-long term—[“No, no”]; buttheymust return to Congress for three months—unless thoy ohooso to resign, like our distinguished friend Jehu G. Jones. [Laughter] When they return to Washington, what a speotaole will they exhibit! Tho South will say, “Mr Huvler, Mr. Worten dyko. you promised, before going home to New Jer soy, that you would not vote to admit Kansas till her population shall nnrnbor 94,000, but you have sinoe doolared to the people of your dis tricts your readiness to admit her whenever she shall apply.” Those two gentlemen must do one of two things: they must either obeat the South or cheat thoir constituents. Either will be most dis graceful. Snob is the position before the country cf all those who stand on that platform You havo doubtless heard repeated statements thnt this Kansas question is sottled; that it is nn obsolete issue Oac man says: “ Kansas has suf ficient population alroudy; she is ready to come into the Union now; and she must, certainly bo a freo State ; so, what is tho use of creating all this excitement?” Well, gentlemen, if she bo a free State, wno will havo made her so? to whom will she be indebted? . Certainly .not tboso who have sustained the Administration in its Kansas polioy. They would have lugged her into the Union in chains; yes, they would have covered that Terri tory with rapine and conflagration and bloodshed, in order to attain their purpose. Who will have mado her free but that gallant band of men st o) up in Con,cros3, and for months fongbt tne Federal power inch by inoh? .. t __ These men come forward and toll us that Kans s is free, that sho now has sufficient population to i entitle her to admission, and that the question is sottled Do these mon think we are blind as bats, that we cannot eeo that the fire-eaters have deter mined that Kansas shall not into tho Union until 1860 shall have passed?

Vlew of men who are protesting sg&fnsft this moTistrona proscription of Senator Douglas by the Federal Administration. Tho appeal eg»iost this proscription comes not from Democrat atone, but from Americans—from the heroic John J. Crittenden [applause]—from men like Archibald Dixon. They see bow the future is opening; they hear tho footsteps of coming generation*; they see that new States must continue to be added to out Republic of Confederacies; they see that the men who oppose this doolrine must speedily and surely sink into insignificance. We are told that this prinoiple of popular sove reignty is not practical! Why. if this is not practical, nothing is practical. We are told that we are fighting for an abstraction—a delusion. Why, gentlemen, this principle is the most palpa ble, the most tangible the most manifest of which I can conceivo. How. many acres of land have we yet to be formed Into States, now unorganised, the Indian titles not yet extinguished? Hundreds of millions of acres—millions of square miles Do you tell me that this prinoiple ox popular sove reignty is not practical, when at some distant dsy yet to come, you may have a President of the Uoired States who, with one hundred and fifty, two hundred, or three hundred millions of patron age, and his army—both the regular army and tho .army of office-holders—may attempt to force .slavery into a Territory, as the present Adndnia . (ration has attempted to force it into Kansas. Do you toU'tne that this principle is not practi cal, when, spite of all these Influences, it dan still be triumphant? Look at the history of Kansas: see thirteen thousand single-handed men fighting against the entire power of the Federal Adminis tration, fighting agiinst the organised hordes from Missouri, fighting against the office-holders, fight ing against money, fighting against an army quar tered in their midst, fighting against every sort of influence; direct and indirect, yot triumphing over all these by means of this great prinoiple; and by it they will oonquer in tbe future, if you but cling to it now. For my part—speaking; as I conceive f do for »he party—speaking for that par ry which will maintain this dootriue—l say thatno Convention, wherever hold, will ever be recognised if it does not accept and endorse this E&ored prinoi ple. JLoud applanse.) I trust tbat the issue which has been presented has been presented plainly. I trust that in the days whioh are to come, if party leaders make mis takes, the people will be wire enough to oorreot them. The day for mere names has gone. My own devotion to the Democratic party is a tradi tionorydevotion. I cherish that party; I adhere to it; and I think, afrer all, it is the came which is most acceptable to the masses. Bnt I can say frankly to you, my fellow-oMsens, that if the Democratic party should accept and endorse the uots of the present Administration, its days will be numbered. [Applause.] But this will not be There will bo, I have no doubt, in the near future, soixto common agreement by which this principle shall be rescued from assault. At any rate, whether defeat or triumph be our fate, we shall come out from the contest, having preserved our individual honor, having held up clean, un bribed hands before people, and having left to our ohildronaud our obildren’s children an unspotted reputation.
