Yesterday’s Philadelphia Sunday Dispatch has a candid and comprehensive view of tho primary elections which took place In this city on Monday evening last, making tho letter of Mr. Buchanan to the Fort Dinjiiesiie celehia tion the text comments. Tho vlulonco and proscription of tho Administration at these elections have, no doubt, suggested similar rc- Ihcfintis in other rpiititors. Tfo publish tho most of tho article referred to, ns follows : “ A Com urn r i pox Tiin Jln/i bs\k Letter. — It is nut many months since Jumps Buchanan wroto n must extraordinary nn<t most hypocritical loiter to tho cilitcnft of IHUsbuvg, who intended to cele brate tho cente/mial nnuivcrxuiy of tho reduction of Fort Duquemc. In that epistle, which properly should hnvo been a declination of tho imitation ollercd. tho President went out of his way to In dulgo in lachrymose lnmontntions over tho degone* i of tho times. It was a particular lheny> f upon which Mr. Buchanan dilated with tho unction of nn Amtmdab Sloth, that tho election* wero not nl w ays purely conducted—that hribory and other In* dneemonts woro resorted to In order to influence Votes—and that tho snoredness of tho elective fran* * liiso win iu groat danger. This w;!3 all true j but, thu matter ut astonishment was, Jliat ono who was 5 s > deep tn the puttied partisan intrigues .as tho wwiter of that letter should Imvo courngo to rebuke himself On no ono could tho reprobation of bri bery and corruption In conducting partisan move* mints ami in tho management of election?, so strango|y uttered by James Buchanan, recoil with greater effect limn Upon .James Buchanan. JIo bad during hourly tho whole of his term exorcised Dio iitnm'»«o power, patronage, and influence of his h’gh oilico, against every freeman who had dared to ililTm wilh him upon certain portions of tho policy of hh Administration. The attempt to fasten upon D*e people uf Kansas a aystem of domestic instrtu* liouv which they ahhorrod had been carried out hy tbc sending of Federal troops agaiust them, hy porseoutinn of every imlopcmicnt nrnn, and by viol<>m»u tho most intolerable. In other parts of the Vni-m tho itttemplfl tocoerco tho Democratic party had been seconded by tho rperntion of nil *lm mnehinpry nf whUm. No man wAs allowed In till* nominally republican country to htivo nn opinion different frmu that of tho Eicculive. If ho held ofiicc, removal from his position was tho immediate con.-e/jucncn of obedience to his prineb pb*s and conßcimico If ho was out of ofTico, re- wards, promotion, ami tho possession of place, upon the removal of tho dUallVctcd, were pro mised him. In this spocios of bribery, for many months, was flip chief of tho Union em ployed, and bis tools and ercaturos in every sec tion were deeply engaged nn carrying odt tho de termination oi' their chief. It Was utider ihich cir* cunntaii'jes that tho Dmpiesno Letter wua pennod, and ih publication throughout tho country lod to loud expressions of nma/.cment at tho effrontery of the author, and ofdeiNlon at tho contcmptiblo position m which lie placed himself. ‘•Sumo months afterward It was soletnly an nounced that Mr. Jtuohnnah would not bo acandi* date for rcnominafloii by tho Charleston Conven tion. If this was truo, every Democrat in and out of oHlco was thereby Jitondsod comploto freedom to excroiso his opinion and preference n« to tho most stiilnblo person to bohts lf itwns alio, the falsehood wauond Inoro item to ho added to tho long catalogue of disingenuous and disreputable nothing which have boon scored up against James Ruclmimn Fineo his in inguration. Aiionntion, abuse, tmjrutUude, and persecution of his warmest ‘Vioiids—Jjnllerv, and of his old enemies—had been bis policy, and were sufthueni to forever CdUdcinn him as An ofilcei* atld tv* a man “Itmay now bo awutned that this nolo tyitro pan declaration of James Buchanan was deceitful andlnsincero. ilo desires to bo again a candidate at Charleston ; or, if he does not, ho wishes to Imvo tho control of that Convention, and the nomination of his successor. “it was ono r.f tho cardinal principles of the Denrpcrncy in the golden ngc, when • principles, , not 111011,’wn3 tho motto, that ‘ tlio intijr* forcneo of office hobtor* in elections* was ft vio lation of n cry republican tenet, an outTflgc upon popular right. and n prnctico that was peculiar only to i’edoinlisni and centrafizßtton.

It wa? not possible to effect this purpose by fair means, ami accordingly « ayatern of fraud and intimidation was reported to, more disgraceful than anything that can he found in tho disgntcefulun rujls of the past. Tho office-holders of the United States—the Collector of tho Port; tho Surveyor < f the Port; tho Naval Officer; tho Postmas ter; tho Director id tho Mint; every person, in fact, bnldingoffi sounder tho National Government j crooted thenwlvcs into a Directory, with thein tciition "V gaining the delegate election'* by fair iuoap'* »r tool. In order to effect this design, tho most slmmc-lcM duplicity was resorted to. In spectors of the custom*, clerkh laborers, wnMi men, every mpn who was in office, down to tho low est menial in ibo public departments, wore consti tuted the In. Mil managers nt the ■lcleguto dcotions in thcirwat-lsHiid precinct?. Kvory ono was given to nr.drr?UMl that he was not only expected to voto !iim«elf for tho Administration nominee?, but that ho wit? held personally responsible for their de feat; and that his removal from offmo would follow a victory on the part of thoso Democrats who refused <o’ ho slates to the Central Power. On the other band, porsona who woro not in office were promised place* if they succeeded in carrying wards or precincts lor tho Administra tion* Theso individuals know vent well that there acre no situation? vacant, and that, in order to uiako them, tho present incumbents must ho turn ed out; thoy knew, al?o, that thoso parsons woro working under promises to be kopt in : and that in fact the most barefaced double-dealing was being lived lowimls them by tho head office-holders, who were cndoavoiing to enjoin them. Under such '■iremnstances of fraud in tho inception, it need -e.m'dy ho doubted that there was fraud in the wpicl. Tho poor dopenlents of tho office-holding Directory, wcio driven to tho suporlreiunn ox -01 tibns to maintain thoir places ; the haroborutod outsiders, who wanted to bo i‘wßidcrfl, worn ns nicely fooled; and at this momont thero nro going up in all parts of tho oily the most bitter curssn ignin>tthe ColUclit of tho Port, tho Suiveyor, and tho Postmaster, for tho deceit which they have mu] Inycd. “'l’li'-re can ho little doubt that in n true poll of JOHN OAMPtIKU.

Moreau, which comments on your notico of my speech, at Lancaster College, on the life of Thomas Paine, and on tho speech it?elf. Although I havo not tho honor of an ac quaintance with Mr. Moreau, I appreciate the boldness with which he defends his hero—and this not the 1<353 that ho impugns my accuracy, know ledge, and motives, and endeavors to distort my exposition of Paine's principles into an attack on Mr. Jefferson and others. If Paino was a barl mao, he is not to be white washed beoause others were also bad. Vice eannot bo conveMod into virtuo by mere forco of the num her of the vicious. If, therefore, Mr. Moreau has proved that the patriot* of th© Revolution wore in fidels, bo has done nothing to redeem tho repufa lion of Pnine ; he has only added to the black list, which moat men and all women abhor for tbvir crimo, und ju!y for their niinfurtune. But the alle gation H unsupported by fact.- 1 . Washington, Urecue, Knox, Hamilton, Wayne, Jay, Marshall, and nearly all tho Revolutionary leaders, were sin cere Christians. Of tho two chief examples given by the critic, Dr. Franklin reproved Paine for his Ago of Reason, and Mr. Jefferson professed to f*How the Divine model for all men. That the poi eon of foreign infidelity may have corrupted some of the men of that age is to be deeply deplored. Great political convulsions commonly lead to looseness of morals. Tho glorious and almost only excep tion to this remark is to be found in the history of our Revolution, marked, as it was, by public ordor, private security, and reverence for religion. The Hall of Independence is the property of ; Pennsylvania, so that wo who aro not of Phila delphia havo an equal interest with the inhabi tants of the city in tho purity of the lessons which j tho portraits on Us walls may toach. I am glad, j therefore, to learn from Mr. Moreau’s article that when wo of tho country—untaught by irreligious and vulgar doolaimcrs—visit the metropolis, we may take our children to Independence Ball with out fear ol being obliged to caution them not to road tho works or imitate the life of one of those whoso likeness they will see enshrined for homage which few friends to virtue will render. Mr. Moreau suggests that t have not carefully rcml “ Tho Age of Reason.” I presume he has not read tho address which ho assails; for if he had. ho would hare found that none of the persons whom he quolos have spoken more highly of Paine’s American political writings than I have. I alleged and stated facts to prove that he was a mercenary. None of those facts aro denied, ex cept by tho suggestion that ho gave the copyright of u Common Sense” to tho States. My address details tho compensation paid for this pretended gift, and tho after-product of h»5 perpetual Impor tunity, It was compensation munificent beyond precedent. Bat the idea of copyright for a series of anonymous brief newspaper articles and pamphlets, whoso valuo depended upon immediate and goneral reading by tho masses, seems ridiou lous. Cfttttbooxalted character of a disinterested patriot be justly claimed for a man who was paid for every lino he wrote ; who refused to write until secure of* compensation; who became rich by the produot of bis pen, and still importuned for money; who, in the warmest flush of national gratitude, was com- pelled to resign public employment to avoid re sponsibility for trusts alleged to have been viola ted ; who slandered Washington with vulgar vitu peration unparalleled; who was the avowed enemy of the Constitution of this country ?

The brisk lumber trade carried on this eeaaoa between Sapcrior and mining towns on the take will he greatly increased ncit year. In addition to such rcAScls aj have bees loading this season, Mr. Howard has purebawd a fine schooner, to run la the lumber trade exclusively. There are is this neighborhood six saw-mill?, ail of whieh, if kept constantly at work, cxq saw lumber enough to supply the detain! ou this lake. The steamer North Star made her appearance on Sunday morn ing last, at an early hour, and relieved those who w;*re anxious for hir safety of their fears. She brought out from Cleveland and Detroit a very heavy freight, and, in fact, waa compelled to leave behind a considerable quantity for want of room. The fiist annua] exhibition of the Lake Superior Agricultural Society waaheld on the 53th, 2'Hb, and 27th of this month. X examined a Urge bunch of Cole’s crystal celery, raised here the past summer.

The principal rush of business Is from the month of January to April, and if the Delaware is annually eloeed by See, from below the navj Yard to Bristol, will it prora a profitable operation for an importing house to Wait for goods until navigation opens? Being In terested in the railroad, and not in the “Contract,” I have a right to speak in the matter. The Harper’s Ferry insurrection is the legiti mite fruit of the seed sown by Northern agitators on the subject of slavery, and by Republican lectu rers and preachers, and by the appeals by orators generally of the Opposition. It wax the burden of their cry in Minnesota- You will recol lect tho Supreme Court of Wisconsin denies the ju risdiction of the Uait&i SUtcs Sapreme Court. In Philadelphia tho New England missionary society (Presbyterian) cut off their mission to the Choo t uts, because those misguided Indians were slave holders. Even Yale College contributed, yon re member, to the purchase of Sharp's rifles, as did the Rev.

A clinic is held every Wednesday and Saturday, from whence aid and comfort is admi nistered gratuitously to many visiters. X Tbe San Joan Dispute. (From Use New York Times.) An American officer, with the whole region, has handed os the following concise state ment of the basis of our claim : 1. The treaty provides that the boundary shall run “ westward along the said forty-ninth parallel of north latitude to the middle of the'Channel which separates the continent from Vancouver's Maml, and thence southerly through the middle of the said channel, ODd of Faca’s straits, to the Pacific ocean/’ A glance at the msp will show that the Cana! De Jlsro (near Vancouver’s island; i« the natural chansel and outlet- A vessel coming through the centre of the GaJf of Georgia, from above the 49th parallel, desiring to go to the Pa cifio ocean, would movo through tne Canal Do Ilaro, as going at once southerly and nearest to Vancouver’s island. There is more reason for our claiming Saturn a island, west of the Canal Do Haro, than for the British to elaim the Archipelago Pc Karo, as a good ship channel exists west of said island. 2. It is the widest, shortest, and deepest chan nel. Tho main body of water runs through it. Examine the large Coast Survey Map, published ia 155t,0( these waters.with all the soundings, and you will notice in the Canal Pe Haro 30 fathoms and no bottom. T 5 and no bottom, 1M and no bot tom, throughout the wholo of it. Whereas in the Straits of Rosario, near Lummi island, yon will sea 7J and 10 fathoms. No such soundings are found on the other channel. The general width of the former is nearly twice that of the latter, and it is shorter by at least 17 miles. We notice that Cap tain Alden of the navy, on this chart, acknow ledges that & large share of these soundings in the Canal De Haro are derived from those of Captain Wilkes, of the United States navy, made on his exploring expedition in 1842 and HM3, some three years before the treaty was negotiated- We give the date, as some wiseacre, in a London paper, al leges that the Canal Pc Ilaro had never been navi gated by anything larger than a canoe at the date of tho treaty. 3. Tbe boundary by the Rosario straits would be roundabout, unnatural, crescentic, as if a sweep had been purposely made to hug the continent ana rsko everything into John Bull s lap. 4. Under the laws or nations the islands are the natural appendage of the continent, and not of Vancouver’s island. This idea is acted upon by the British Parliament in its recent legislation. It provides that the colony of Vancouver’s island can, by the consent of its legislature, be merged in the colonv of British Columbia. 5. The laws of Oregvn Territory, before Wash ington Territory was organized, were extended over these islands as “ Island County/’ and before the Hudson Bay Company had any sheep pasture# on San Juan island. Not until 1852 did that com pany make their settlement on said island. It if believed that the whole claim is an after-thought . of the Hudson Bay Company. 6. Qon. Louis McLane, our minister to England. wrote to the Secretary of State on the 18th of May, 184$, ova month before the treaty w»3 signed in Washington city, that the basis of a settlement of the boundary could be made on “ the 49th parallel to the sea, and thence through tho Canal De Haro to the Straits of Fuea, to the ocean.” 7. The understanding of the Senate which rati fied the treaty was to tbe same effect. The speeches of Mr. Benton and of Mr. Cass, and of others, mention explicitly the Canal De Haro as the boundary. 8. It was the general understanding throughout the whole country that ouly Vancouver’s island was yielded to Great Britain. With great reluctance did the Government and the people eorne down from 54 deg. 40 min. to the 49th* parallel. The following extract of a letter from an officer of ihe army gives further information of considera ble interest in the same connection: •‘Tho archipelago of islands exhibited on the chart, and claimed by the United States, particu larly that of San Joan.wbich I visited with the Gene ral on the Ist of July Inst, is very desirable, not only for its excellent and safe harbor, but its fine farms and abundance of wood and water. As the London Tt-mt* once said, it is the * Cronstadt’ of the waters on the Sound. And in fact the whole of Puget’s Sound, from the 49th parallel, north lati tude, op to Olympia, is the finest body of water in the world. FoFsbips of every sire and draught of water, good anchorage and excellent harbors can be found in every part of the sound. It also con tains tbe finest forests of rimer. Large ships from England and France are here every year for spars to supply their navy and merchantmen; ana for seven months in the year I will venture to say it cannot be surpassed for its climate.” Views of Edward Bates.—Mr. Bates, of Mis souri, being a prominent Opposition andidatefor President, the St. Louis Kevs pablifu i a statement of his position on the slavery question, from which it appears that “he does not believe that African sla very is a beneficial institution, cither in a social, political, or religious sense.” Ha does not believe that tbe Constitution carries slavery into tbe Terri tories, and thinks it can exist there only by a pocU tivo law of Congress which, he thinks, should not be enacted. He nclieres a distinction between slave and other property to bo coeval with the Go vernment—as is shown by the representation ob tained on a slave basis. He believes that slavery is not protected by the Constitution, but only b j tho local law. He favors the principle of the fugi tive-slave law, and rejoices that Missouri is be coming a free Stafo-
