Below will be found the replies of some of the members of President Buchanan's Cabinet to invitations to attend the recent great and gloriou® Demoeratic meeting in Philadelphia, to respond to the President's late annual mes- sage. We publish them in the order in which we find them printed in the Pennsylvanian of the day before yesterday. To-morrow’s Star will contain the balance : Letter From Hon. Lewis Cass. Wasutneton, Dee. 26, 1856. GextteweN: My public duties will prevent me from i ning the numerous assemblage which on Monday evening will meet in your city to endorse the first annual message of Jas. Buehanan, who is the more entitled to the kind consideration of a Pennsylvania meeting, as he was transferred by the American people from that faithful State, which binds us all together, to the Presidency of this great Confederation. Especially is it your declared object to endorse that part of the message which recommends “the speedy admission of Kansas as a State und Constitution formed in pursuance of lawful authority.”* I thank you for remember- ing me among those to be united upon this oc- casion; and though I cannot be with you, yet I sball regard your proceedings with deep inter- est and witb the firm conviction that the wel- come plaudit, **Well done, thou good and faith- fal servant,”’ will be pronoanced with one voice by the assembled thousands, and will be borne to the remotest parts of the Republic, and find ita response in the hearts of the American De- moeracy. Such a judgment of approval is due to your eminent fellow-citizen, not less for his past services and bis present position than for his efforts to maintain at this sime the true principles of self-government. While his policy as been condemned. his motives have been ar- raigned. but he may well appeal in his justifi- eation to the efficient services of a long life now drawing to a close, and which offers him no re- ward he would accept at the expiration of his constitational term of office», but the confidence and gratitude of his country and the approba- tien of his own conscience. It is good for the American people to come together in times of doubt and difficulty. Our fathers did so in the more trying scenes through which they passed, aud may our sons do so like- wise should those evil days come upon them, from which no people can be wholly exempt Theselgreat convocations of the intelligence and patriotism of the country are the tribunals to jadge public men and measures, and to approve or condemn, as circumstances may justify, and their jadgment is rendered the more effectual by imposing numbers, by free discussion, and by the nature of their proceedings. The admis- ston of Kansas into the Union upon the princi- ples advocated in the message is one of those great questions which appeal at once to the rea- son and the patriotism cf our countrymenfand may well challenge your deliberation and ac- tion. The addition of another member to our Coufederacy is an event full of hope. a fulfil- ment of the promises of the past, and a pledge of the glories of the future. And it is like «ise & peaceable and effectual remedy for the evils te which our system of government is exposed. As long as a Territorial organization exists. the country it embraces will feel the effect of exter- nal infuencein important questions, and efforts t control them will be continually made.what- ever perils may be in the way of the interfer- ence. Such now is the condition of Kansas, and no just and patriotic mancan contemplate that condition without serious apprehension. By the mercy of God, rather than by our own wis- dom and forbearance, we have thus far escaped that last sectional controversy. which, when it comes, may bring with it the destruction of this fair fabric of political freedom. Bat we have a security against this danger. if we can consent to abandon this fearful e>n- troversy and adopt it, and that is the admis- rion of Kansas into the Union under a consti- tution formed in pursuance of lawful authority @ prowinentiy put forward in the meseage Pass alaw for the conversion of the Territory into a State, and you say at once to the danger- gus andeonflicting olements, ‘+ Peace, be still !”’ The storm will be hushed, the institutions of the country, whether domestic or political, will he regulated by the people of the country, and but a few brief months will pass away before peace and qmiet will be restored, and this alarming contest remembered only for the les- son of forbearance jt would ineulcate. This is erm the view taken of the subject by the ident. and I trust, gentlemen, | do not doubt indeed, that the same view will be taken by the patriotic citizens to be assembled with- in sight of the Hall of Independence. to delib- eraie-apon the condition or the country, and t» pass jadgment upon the course of the Chief Magistrate { am, gentlemen, with great respect, your o i servant, sEWis Cass. To Gaonce I’uirr, Esq.. and others, Com- Dittee — Letter rrom tae Hox. Howe. Comp Wasutseros City, Dec. 28, 1857. Gestinwex: I regret that it will not be in ™Y power to be present at your proposed meet- ingon Monday next. It would give mo sin cere pleasure to unite with you in endorsing the message of the President. and ‘ especial that part of it recommending the speedy Pe mise ansas as a State. under aconstitu ton formed in pursuance of law.ul authority.’ You bare rightly construed the message. 6 Lay Fo the administration in regard to Kan- "8, If the legitimate result of the principles “pen which Mr. Buchanan was olected.

Tbe arguinent j Mra ible, und the opposition vainly toummet t excite the public mind of the | 7 *gainst a principle so clear, and indeed | se essential to the very existence of govern- ment. The Demoeratic party recognised the legality of the Territorial Legislature of Kan- sas. The opposition declared against it on the ground that it violated “the will of the ma- Jority."” The issue was made before the coun- try and the people decided in the election of Mr. Buchanan in favor of the Democratic party and the law. At every stage of the Kansas question this issue has arrived, and just as often as ithas been presented, has the Demo- eratic = taken its —— on the side of the law. Upon this rock it has placed itself, and all the storms of Black Republicanism have failed to pre against it. The Abolitionists of Kansas endeavored to jastify their rebellion by a false appeal toa great principle. which they vainly sought to prestitute to their unholy purposes. Their con- tempt for the will of the majority was onl equalled by their disregard of the law. Wit ali their profession on this subject, they now refuse to vote when the opportunity is fully aud fairly presented of ascertaining the real will of the meet in accordance with the provisions of law. No settlement of the ques- tion is acceptable to them unless it is made in defiance of law, and at the costof anarchy and bloodsbed. The pretext has been spurned when resorted to by them, and it certainly derives no additional strength from the fact that it has found new aivoeates and defenders. The Territorial Legislature of Kansas thus recognized by the Democratic party, submitted to the people the question, shall there be a Con- vention to form a State Constitution? The people at the polls decided that such a Conven- tion should be ealled. In conformity to their decision the Legislature called the Convention, and the delegates were elected in accordance with the provisions of law—the opposition de- elaring at each step, that “ the will of the ma- jority was disregarded,” party adhering firmly to its impregnable posi- tion of standing by the law.”* The Lecompton Convention has adopted a Constitution and submitted to a vote of the people the slavery clause. The opposition renew the old clamor about “the will of the majority,’’ which is again responded to by the Democratic party, Ls holding up the Constitution and the law. hatever there may have been in this pretext heretofore, the action of the Lecompton Con- stitution in submitting the slavery question te a vote of all the Joxa Ade inhabitants of the Territory, has swept from the opposition the last vestige for complai The opportunity was presented on the 2lst inst., to all the ova fide inhabitants of Kansas, of deciding for themselves whether Kansas should be a free or slave State. If the Black Republicans of Kansas refuse to vote, and seek by all the means in their power to prevent others from voting, in order to kee) up the scenes of violence and bloodshed whic have so long destroyed the peace and quiet of that Territory, it constitutes no good reason why the Democratic party should abandon its principles and unite with its enemies in disre- gu the law. The law-abiding citizens of \ansas desire to make known their will in the mode prescribed by the laws of the country. Those who trample upon the law and 8purn its obligations, do not deserve to be heard or re- spected. This brief review of the Kansas question, shows that we are meeting an old issue, though to some extent in new hands. It has been suc- cessfully met heretofore by the Democratic perty Adhering to our principles, we shall e able to meet it again. Our past triumphs leave no doubt of future results. The faithful maintenance of our principles is the great ele- mentof Democratic imength: As it has marked our history in the past, eo it will in the fature. So far as the question of slavery in Kansas is concerned, I have shown that the policy of the Demoeratic-party has been to recognize the law. and to carry out the will of the peuple as made known in the manner prescribed by law. The admission of Kansas as a State refers the whole question to its citizens for their final de- cision. as it has been referred to the people of every other State in the Union. The opposi- tion to this policy finds ite main element of strength in the desire of our opponents te keep up the exvitement which has su long distracted the country. The real issue is between poace and quiet on the one hand; and excitement, turmoil and bloodshed on the other. The de- cision of the people upon such an issue cannot be a matter of doubt. Every good citizen is willing that Kansas shali be a free or slave State, just as her people may prefer, and her admission asa State in conformity to the ac- tion of the Lecompton Convention will ensure that result. This being done, peace will be restored in Kansas, and quiet in the balance of the country, and the Demoer: arty will have the gratification of kno that it has all been accomplished through its own fair, just and Constitutional principles. I am very respectfully yours, lOwELL Coss. ‘o Messrs. Plitt, Witte, and others Letrer rrom Hox. Jonx B. Frorp. Wasatxaton Curry, Dec. 28, 1857 Gentlemen: [ have received the invitation with which you have honored me, to attend a public meeting to be held in Philadelphia to- night, called to endorse the policy of the Ad- ministration in Kansas. I regret that [I am obliged by official engagements to decline it. It would afford me especial pleasure to partici- pate with the people of your i movement intended to give the authentic stamp of Democratic sanction, to a ey which has been conformed to the laws of the country, and has had no other end than the peace and har- mony of the Union Whatever option citizens of thecountry may fecl themselves authorized to exercise in 7 roving or dissenting from the policy of the President in re; to Kansas, the written laws of the land left him, at least, none in deciding upon his course of conduct. The Kansas-Nebraska ac’ had prohibited Congress from interfering in the domestic affairs of Knusas, and provided that the people of the Territory should be left perfectly free to form their domestic institutions in their own way ; the Legistative history of the act showing it to haye been contemplated that this might be done by representatives chosen for the pur- pose. The Lapidlatess of Kanaas, which met next after the passage of the act, had accord- ingly provided, that_in October, 1456, at the general election of the Territory, the people should vote whether a Convention for forming a Constitution should be ecalied or not. The people of the Territory had, at this election, decided by « large majority, that a Conven- tion should be called. The next succeedin; Territorial Legislature had, in pursuance this vote, enacted a law providing for the cen- sus of the people and registry of voters, and for the election of a Convention. The provis- ions of this law were complied with and a Con- vention elected. The Convention assembled, formed a Constitution, and in the exercise of a customary discretion, had decided to submit ding question of eont in the instrument—that of slavery—to the de- cision of the people. The proceedings, from begianing to eud, had thus been pursuant bo law. ‘The forms had been regular, authorita- tive, customary, legal, constitutional. What- over irregularities in detail, or abuses in the execation of particular and minor provisions had vecurred, if any occurred, were such as only the local authorities could take cogni- zance of andeorrect. Throughout these trans- actions there was but one question of conflict- ing opinion which Congress was not prohibited, ei by the letter or spirit of the Nobraska- Kansas act, from interfering to decide—and that was in regard to the (¢me when the inhab- itamts of the Hesritory would be competent to organize themselves into # State and apply for jun into the Union. Even on this ques- Cougrere had expreeded an opinion, a! - . in advance, the decision made by the sople of the Lerritary in October, 1856. Pee authorizing the election of aConstitutional Convention in Kansas had passed each House of Congress in the sduumer preceding, the bill of each House failing in the other through # al disagreement of the two bodies on other pro- visions, although they a on the fact that the time had arrived when Kansas might pre- Sy for admission as a State. Congress had ad also acquiesced during the session of 1856-7, in the steps that were going on in Kan- sas for calling a Constitutional Convention. Thus, the only question admitting of doubt, which had been left open by the Kansas-No- braska act, had been called by Congress, and thus the competency of Kansas to fram ‘on- stitution, and the an gee of every step that esd had taken in this behalf were indisput- able. Such were the laws which the President was bound to see executed, and such the modes under which it was his duty to see that the people of the Territory should be free to form their domestic institutions unmolested and un- disturbed. His only alternative was between enforcing the laws and residing the laws. There was no option, and he pursued the plain line of duty. Tie could only enforce the laws they were written. To have done less would have been pusillanimous ; to have done other- wise would have been, in effect, to abrogate them, and to interfere in matters which the ational Legislature and the people of the ion had decreed should be left to the decis- ion of the Territory. For one, I do not fear the verdict of the con- servative people of conservative Pennsylvania on the conduct of their President. On a ques- tion whether the laws of the country shall be administered—on a question whether an Ex- ecutive who has faithfully administered the laws of the country, shall be sustained by the | opti voice, I do not fear the verdict of ‘emnsylvania. A State which bas so signally saved the Union, will not speedily repent of the noble act. A State, which, closing her ears to the eh popes of sophistry, the appeals of faction, and the clamor of a noisy ad false poilsntirens, has recently so resolutely voted her confidence in the integrity and patriotism of James Buchanan, her own #on, will not turn her back upon him tor executing the laws of the land. A State which. has supported her son during a iong publie service, when his only aspiration can be to render her name and his own illustrious by a pure, honest, on faithful administration of his arduous of- ice. I am, gentlemen, very respectfully, your obedient servant, Joun B. Fioyn. To Messrs. George Plitt, William H. Witte, George R. Berrill, Jesse Johnson, William ¥.
