MONDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1859.
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. The
modern doctrine promulgated by the writer of the
Ouquesno Lottor, and m:tod nut by hi? satellites hi

many Ipsttooefi of thispolicv in Philadelphia during
spirit of the office-holders reached tho sutninlt to
which it attained Inst week in tho election of dele
gates to tho conventions of Representative and So
nVmvial districts, who were to elect delegates to tho
1 State Convention Tho latter elect delegate? to the
Chnrlcbton Convention to nominate ft President of
tho United States; nnd, although It hurt bcch an
nounced that Mr. Buchanan I** not to ho ft candl*
dale before that Convention, the most superhuman
i fforts wore made by tho Federal office-holders to
obtain entire control of tho Pcleof/on of persons, fo
»s to have tho State and Kcdoral Convention? alto
gether under tho authority of tho President Uun
-ctf. 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

PERSONAL AND POLITICAL.
Juoavi Black vs. General Cass.—Gen. Cass,
(present Secretary of State,) in Ills Nicholson let
ter, affirms that tho people of a Territory “ have
the right to rogulato their internal concerns In
their own way,” which right ho afterwards declar
ed, in a spoech in the Senate in ISJP, they derived
from tho Almighty. <• If we aro asked,” ho said,
“ Whore thopoople of tho Torritoiies got the right
to legislato for themselves, I answer, Alm’ghty
God. tho same omnipotent and beneficent being who
gave us our rights, and who garo to onr fathors the
power and wlllto assert nnd maintain their rights.”
Judgo Blnok (the present Attorney General), in
his “appendix” to hla “Obacrratiou?,” declares:
“Tho Territories aro not sovereignties; their
jrorrrwmeafi arc vine puttie corporation-*,
hhshed by Coiufrcii to manage the local a ffairs of
the inhabitants, iiko tho government of a city,
established by a Stat* Legislature. Tho Territorial
Legiolaturo,” ho continues, “la pomelitnes elected'

heon pleased to ponnit ft hy tho organic aot. The
power "that gives this privilege could withhold it,
tooand ho thon concludes that “ it is too clear
for popsiblo controversy that a Territory is not a
sovereign powor, but a subordinate dependency.”

tod some small offenco, not easily substantiated to
a jury, or who had already passed a preliminary
examination without effect; although ho (Brown)
had sustained no personal injury, but sim

be punished; and his fconovolenco induced
him to supply amply the wants of tho of*

more curious instanco Is related of his ccccnlrie
character. Having gono from his houso for a pby
tiidiant in n case of common family urgency, ho saw
sorao persons bagging apples In nnotbor person’s
orchard. Ho mudo tnern restoro thoir booty, nnd
took measures to effect thoir arrest, so that much
timo was necessarily consumed before ho attended
to tho urgent distresses of his family. These cases,
credibly related, uro manifestly part and parcel
with his recent extraordinary act in Virginia. Tho
first mentioned of tkeso cases is from the mouth of
one who knew him woll, and who regarded him At

“Aprair or IfoNOßr”—Tho Charleston Afcr

Messrs. Yancey and Fitzpatrick, which had been

“It wa« caused, ire learn, by a demand from
the eon of .Senator Fitzpatrick for the author ot
several articles, reviewing Senator Fitzpatrick’s
public sen ices, under the signature of ‘ Reviewer,’
published recently in the Montgomery Advertiser.
The name of Mr. Ynncoy, a son of Hon. W. L
Yancey, was given up, nnd an invitation was sent
by him to Mr. Fitzpatrick to meet at Augusta, as
tho laws of Alabama against duolling are sevore.
Wo casually perused tho articles in fjuestion, and
are under tho impression that thoy did not exceed
tho bounds of legitimate criticism. We therefore
anticipated no meeting of the gentlemen.”

tion or 47 tears.—A man and wifo havo re
cently been united in lowa, after a separation of]
forty-seven years. Mrs. Crull recently applied for i
a bounty-land warrant, ns a reward fbr tho sorvlco
of her husband during tho war of 1812. Ho had
enlisted while on a visit to Philadelphia, and was
I reported to bnvo been killed In an ongngemen t
near Lake Champlain. Messrs. Shepard A Over,

TWO CENTS.
t at Sir. Crull himself had entered a land-warrant
f>r lands in Hancock county, Illinois, and it waa
eventually shown that he was living in Jefferson
county, N. Y* The Burlington Ha id eye says:
’• It seems that soon after the enlistment of Mr,
Crull, Mrs Crull, finding it difficult to support
herself and her two small children, one a babe,
removed to another part of the State, and there
hearing that her husband was killed, made no far
ther efforts to learn of him. And he, after his dil
charge, returned to the town wbero bo formerly
resided, and was there (old that hi* wife and chil
dren had moved away, and sinco died. Be
lieving hlrarclf alono in th 9 world, he left forever
hisold residents and associates,’and[tookJaphia abode
in Jefferson county, N,, Y., where ho has since re.
sided, ever cherishing in fond remembrance his
now, to him, forever lost family. After years of hard
toil and successful effort, and tho marriage of her
only daughter, Mrs, Crull, in company with her son
and son-in-law, moved to this State, and settled in
Wappello, Louisa county, whero sho has since re
sided in tho famity of hor daughter. A few days
since Mr. Crull arrived InWappcllo, eager to see
her whom ho had mourned as dead, and once again
behold his children. But what achangc forty-seven
years had brought about! A formal introduction
was needed to sequent those who should have spent
their lives together."

cally excited by an anticipation never yet realised.
As to a foreign mission, that will not pay, since tho
outfits have been abolished and nothingbut the sa

that of an Assistant Secretary, but there is tho ex
pensive journey, tho seltingupof an establishment,
and the dollar-taking et ccteras. So that, while bo

Thomas Paine*
To tub Ewron of Tub Pbbss : I bare this mo
ment read on article In your paper of yesterday,
written hy Mr. Joseph N. 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 ?
As to the “ Ago of Reason,” there are passages
in it of such infamous indoconcy, that nogontleman

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

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

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. Beecher; the probability is. some of these

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
