Jones, of Tenn., elicited by a call on him from that gentleman for in- formation on the subject, which effectually sets at rest the accusation against Mr. B. on account of his alleged opposition to the last war. We advise all democrats who propose to take interest in the approaching canvass to preserve it, as embracing a full and entirely satisfactory explanation of the course of Mr B. with reference to the last war with Britain : Wasuineron, April 23, 1847. My Dear Sim :—I have this moment re- ceived your letter of the 15th instant, and hasten to return an answer. In one respect I have been fortunate asa publicman. My political enemies are obliged to go back more than thirty years to find plau- sible charges against me In 1814, when avery young man, [being this day fifty-six years of ago,| I made my first public speech before a meeting of my fellow- citizens of Lancaster. The object of this speech was to urge upon them the duty of vol- unteering their services in defence of their in- vaded country. A volunteer company was raised upon the spot, in which I was the first, I believe, to enter my name as a private. We forthwith proceeded to Baltimore, and served until we were honorably discharged, in October, 1814, I was elected a member of the Pennsylvania legislature; and in that body gave my support to every measure cal- culated, in my opinion, to aid the country inst the common enemy. In 1815, after e had been concluded, I did express opinions in relation to the ca and conduct of the war, which I very soon af- ter regretted and recalled. Since that period I have been ten years a member of the House of Representatives, and an equal time of the Senate, acting a part on every great question My political enemies, finding nothing assail- able throughout this long public career, now resort back to my youthful years for expres- sions to injure my political character. The brave and generous citizens of Tennessee, to whatever political party they may belorg, will agree that this ie a hard measure of jus- tice; and it is still harder that, for this rea- ton, they should condemn the President for having voluntarily offered me a seat in his inet. I never deemed it proper, at any period of my life, whilst the acum was actually en- gaged in a foreign war with a foreign enemy to utter a sentiment which could interfere with its successful prosecution. Whilst the war with Great Britain was raging, I should have deemed it little better than moral trea- son to alyze the arm of the Government whilst dealing blows against theenemy After peace was concluded, the case was then differ- ent. My enemies cannot point to an expres- sion uttered by me, during the continuance of the war, which was not favorable to its vig- orous prosecution. From your friend, very respectfully, James Bocnanan. The Inteliagencer is pleased greatly with the refueal of the Charleston Mercury to en- dorse the portion of the Cincinnati Conven- tion’s platform referring to foreign affairs. That journal also contains a very recent letter from Col. Benton to the people of Missouri, accepting the Republican party nomination for Governor thereof, and announcing his ad- herence to Buchanan—an odd combination in the quizzical Colonel’s political gyrations, as to secept that nomination to run against the regular Democratic nominee for Governor, is an advertisement to the world that while pro- fessing to be for Mr. Buchanan he is willing to do his best to defeat him, for the benefit of the Blairs et. ai.? a PERSONAL. +++« Miss Maggie Mitchell is playing in Al- bany. +++» The youngest member of the present Congress is Hon.

Sundry Republican members of Congress, who seemed to have a deeper stake in the action of that body than any one else around the Washington hotel balls, were eagerly inquiring for news by telegraph ; and their countenances told plafmly that they be- lieved some screw to be loose, which promised to defeat the realization of their calculations upon the action of this convention. One must be a quiet observer at this point to realize how completely that gathering of Live Oak George’s ‘‘ strikers” is designed to be a mere part of the Republican party’s machinery for the approaching canvass. The hope of the Republican party managers is to draw off a considerable German vote, and they dread least a previous nomination of Fremont by their wing claiming to be intense ‘‘ Ameri- cans,’ may frighten the foreign born votes they fancy they have roped in, from sustain- ing him when nominated by the Philadelphia convention to meet on the 17th instant. They have all sorts of pins in and strings to their schemes, all of which must work as intended ; otherwise they know wel! dofeat is surely to be their lot. As those pins and strings are “fixed,’’ it is morally impossible that some of them will not fail to operate to their wishes. Hence their nervousness, as being manifested in Washington just now. Ranks Closed.—This is the only occasion since the formation of the Democratic party under Thomas Jefferson, wherein every voter in the Union professing to be in full commu- nion with the Democracy at the time of the nomination of their Presidential candidate, has joined in aiding to elect him. It is al- ready certain that from Maine to Texas there is not to be a single bolt from the democracy in this election—not one. Mr. Hamlin, of Maine, really went off long since; having long refused to vote with the democracy of the Senate upon really test (party) questions. So his recent proclamation informed the world of nothing new under the sun. We are daily hearing of changes from the National Know Nothing party back into the ranks of the democracy, and, indeed, of the conversion of numerous Know Nothings who, previous to joining the ordor were consistent and staunch Whigs. All the world know that the real National Whigs, who refused to sur- render to Know Nothingism throughout the South, have with unparalled unanimity iden- tified themselves with the Democratic cause, asin the case of Senator Pratt, the Hon. Mr. Preston, of Kentucky, and hundreds of others we might name. Under such circumstances, the idea that it is possible to defeat the Dem- ocratic ticket at the approaching election, is the silliest chimera imaginable. Congress.—No public business of interest or importance can possibly be consummated in Congress until after the Republican party convention, to meet at Philadelphia on the 17th, closes its deliberations. Such a prac- fical two or three weeks’ recess always occurs in the long session prior to a national presi- dential campaign. All members of Congress are necessarily politicians, and take deep interest in the action of the national conven- tions of their respective parties Indeed, these gatherings completely absorb the atten- tion of most honorable members while in esse. So, in euch a recess time, though there may be s quorum in the House hall, so many of those present have paired off, and are thus debarred from voting, as that nothing can be done that requires the action of a majority. As soon as the Republican convention is over, Washington will be overrun with stran- gers interested in matters before Congress, which will continue to set until about the middle of August, we judge from present signe. There will probably be some little skirmishing of party leaders over the season's different nominations and platforms; but nine tenths of the remaining daily sessions of both Houses will be devoted to hard work, to which the members will be stimulated by no little outside pressure The Democratic National Committee, who have held half a dozen sessions here in the course of this week, have selected from among their number, as an Executive Committee, the following gentlemen, viz: Messrs. Ward of Pa., Vallandingham of Ohio, Cottman of Pa., Pot- ter of R I, Manning of S. C., Clark of Va., and Smalley of Vt , ex-officio. Ata meeting of this Executive Committee held on the day before yesterday, Mr. Ward was chosen to be its chairman, and Mr. Vallandingham its sec- retary. Mr. Smalley has been elected the permanent chairman of the National Commit- tee, and Messrs. J. H. George of N. H., Julius Hesse of Ala , and C. H. Vallandingham of Ohio, as permanent secretaries. Mr. Chairman Smalley, we hear, is rapidly Preparing an official copy of the proceedings of the late Cincinnati Convention, which is to be published at the Cincinnati Enguirer of- fice, we take it for granted; the liberal and enterprising proprietors of that journal having caused a full and satisfactory report of the proceedings of the body to be made at their own expense. Reeder on the Kansas War.—The Albany Argus and Atlas publishes @ private letter from ex-Goy. Reeder to the Hon. Galusha A. Grow, which embraces a powerful exposure of the fact that the leaders of the rebellion in progress thero are aiming simply and know- ingly to subvert the authority of the United States in the Territory. That while admit- ting among themselves that the Territorial gov- ernment is the rightful authurity there, and, that as such it should be obeyed by all good citizens, they nevertheless have agreed among themselves to deny these facts when address- ing the public, and to stimulate the vicious, thoughtless, and lawless in the Territory to the work of laboring to uproot the govern- ment by fire and sword. If any one doubt these facts let him read the following extract from Reeder’s letter to Mr Grow : “*As to putting a set of laws in operation in — m to the territorial L ptt songgac my opinion is confirmed instead of shaken. My Predictions have all been verified so far, and will bein the future.

Senator Butler’s Speech has created a deep impression on the minds of the public men in Washington of all parties, being a complete exposure of the charlatanism of the speech of Senator Sumner, to which: it is a reply. The dignity, calmness, and respect for the Senate characterizing all that Mr. B. took occasion to say, have greatly aided in giving weight to his remarks. We invite the attention of our distant readers to his effort if they would comprehend how thoroughly the system of the Republican party managers is based on misrepresentation of the truth, and the policy of dealing with the public on the hypothesis that the majority are fools and brutes, to be managed altogether by stuffing their ears with monstrosities and inflaming the worst passions of aggregated human na- ture.
