Sept. 17, 1856. To U. T. Washington, Chairman of the Democrat ic Ntnte Central Committee of California.

Sir: I hnvo received nutnerous communications from purees in California entitled to rcgnid, in referenco to the proposed Pacific railroad. As it would be impossible for ino to answer them all, I deem it most prop-t and respectful to address you a general answer in jour official capacity. In performing this duty to tho citizens of California, I net in perfect consistency with tho 6elf-impo ed restriction contained in my letter accepting tho nomination for Presidency, not to answer tcirogations raising new arid different issues from thoso presented by the Cincinnati Convention, because that convention lias itaelf adopted a resolution in favor of this great work. I then desire to state briefly, that concurring with the Convention, I am decidedly favoiaMo to tho construction of tho Pacifio lailrond; and I derive tho authority to do this from tho constitutional power to "declare war," and the constitutional duty "to repel iavas'ons." In my judgment Congress possesses the some power to make appropriations for the construction of this road, strictly for tho'pnrpfwo of national defence, that it has topjoct fortifications at tho mouth of the harbor of San Francisco. Indeed, tho necessity with view to repel foreign invasions from California is as great in tho ono case as in tho, other.

Ncithor will thero be any danger from tho precedent for it is almost impossible to conceive that any enso attended by such extraordinary and unprecedented circumstances can ever again occur in our history. JAMES BUCHANAN. N. An, an insa. iTi'pt of your letter on tho 14th instant, in which vru inquiro whether my sentiments re-main the same in referenco to internal ira- -i ovmi cut a by tho General Government, and PMCcially with reference to railroad to Crli-furn'n, ns they were in 1850, when I sent my fir-t annual messago to Congress.

In reply to our inquiry, permit mo to state that I have invariably refused to pledge mycli to any particular course of policy in enso of my election to tho Presidency. My pnt lifo is tho only guaranty which I can ivc for my fufuro conduct. Cut I have no hesitation in raying that I have 6cen no cause to change my sentiments on tho subjects of your inquiry; an 1 consequently they remain tho ranio as they were when I penned my annual message to Congress in 1850. MILLARD FILLMORE. All New England It in an inexpressible gratification that tho New England States havo given tho Republican candidates such noble vote.

Fremont and Dayton not only carry every New England State, but carry them by largo ami triumphant majorities. All New England is ttvlfast and enthusiastic for freedom. Tin New England States aro tho model tf tho world. Tho history of all tin agos prcsenU jio such commur ities of intelligent, virtuous and Democratic Freeman as Massachusetts and Vermont and their igldor States. All scnsiblo men agree tVit States number more intelligent an 1 honest voters in proportion to tho population mnro personal and "domestic peace, Inv.rtvledgo and goodness than any other part tho world.

Glorious New England! tho home of Democratic institutions, of freo men, of freo thought, unequalled pirsoual and political-freedom! tho land of Lexington, Hill, and Benuington of freo schools and universal education of scholars and woikera of writers, inventors, tmd philanthropists cf Putnam, Sherman, Samuel Ad-ann and Stark is the chosen sccno of universal It-puUiean triumph. The east wing of tho Republican well strengthened by its numberless school, colleges, churches, and horn and invincibly armed with books, papers and freo has driven all before it an 1 reinnins in triumphant possession of its poit on field cf battle, with all ita free 1 -aimers ttrcaming in tho November air, and its bright eyrd and 6trong armed legions ivaly for further advance! Every Republican can well bo proud that ht belongs to party which embraces all the New England Slates. They wero never unanimous hefuiv, but now their proverbial an 1 nn'quallcd intelligence, virtue and practical Democracy, rallied them all under the banner free labor and freo 6oil. Tho do sirndants of tho Puritans, of tho Pilgrim Father, and tho Minuto Men of '76, have taken their immovablo stand on tho sido of Freedom. Philadelphia Times.

Pork Market. A dull and heavy feeling has been the prevailing characteristic of tho market during the week, and prices havo declined 25to37 per tho market cl wing quite spiritless at $3 75 for averaged sized Hogs, say those weighing 200 pounds net. The receipts since tho lirsl of this month add up 41,606, a-gainst 14,028 tho samo time last year. Last year, however, packing did not commence until tho 17th of this month, tho weether being toogarm, whilst this Beason, operations commenced, though on ft limited scale, on the 1st of tho month, making this season nearly three weeks earlier than list. Drovers havo been paying prices for Hogs above tho present current rates, rendering the business a losing one, anei henco they manifest a great unwillingness to sell' as the have to do, if they sell at all, at a loss ot 50 to io cuts pcrhunlrcd, and many of them nro having their Hogs packed on their own account, piel'orring to tako tho chances of the future, rather than sell at this las now.

It clear that they must either do this or dia-poso of their droves, becauso tho high price of corn renders it ruinous to hold thera back for a better market. Tho prospects of the Hog product favor a further decline, an the prices nro not only below tho current rafes for Hogs, but tho demand is of. the most limited character. Eastern purchasers are generally holding back for lower rates, as well as tho packers from Europe, who, under continued unfavorable news from the English and Irish markets, manifest great want of confidence in present prices. There havo been some sales of long middles within iho week at packed, and at this rato tho market is dull.

Larrd is also doe-lining, and has been sold as low as 10c, including packages. Our advices from tho interior aro that farmers aro anxious to sell their Hogs, particularly in Kon lucky and Tennessee, and that thero will bo no late feeding done, corn being so high and pork comparatively low This will to a short season, and the present indications are that packing will bo concluded the latter part of December.

Tho New Orleans Delta, a standard Buchanan aathority, thus explains tho platform of its party, as it is understood nt the South. As Mr. Buchanan is indebted for his elcclien to tho South and as tho South has it in its power to determine the succession, tho Freo Soil Democrats at tho North, who have been humbugged into his support by pretences, which if practiced in commercial business, would ensure tho swindler a birth in tho penitentiary, can see to what manner of men and what kind of measures they aro committed: "Slavery is national and not sectional.

"Slavery is essential to Republican nation ality." "A great Republic never existed with Slavery." "Moelern free society is radical and rotlcn.l "In the Northern States, free society has proved a failure, being rotton to to the core." 'Negro Slavery is tho conservative element of the Republic, and the present basis of society in the U. "Its diffusion and extension are of the utmost importance." "Territories now freo, must be made slave territories." "New Territory, such as Cuba, North-eastern Mexico, must bo acquired for this purpose." "Tho African Slave Trade must bo reopened." That these propositions when made to take the form of measures, will mean the annexation of Nicaragua, the acquisition of Cuba, and the enslavement of Kansas, and tho de predation of Free Labor everywhere, who can doubt Land Sale In Kansas A letter to the Cincinnati Gazette dated on board the steamer Australia, Jefferson City, Nov, 13 lb, that over two hundred yan-kee speculators (Gov. Robinson Among them) passed upon tho Keystone on Friday, to attend the great Kansas land sale at Fort Leven-worth on the 17th, and tho Australia had an equteJ numler on board bound for tho sale. The wriiVt bou'nJ for the land sale, says: Tho Soutn.ners have all the show and tAlk, but tho VAnkees inve nioney, determination, and and enCgy action. I was surprised to learri fhroug-Ji ome pro-slavery friends at St.

Louis itat tho pro-slavery men are not makeing great efloriJ to sccuro land At this sale, but suppose the Freo States aro going up in such numbers and wui so much means that they will have everything their own way. A Washikotok Votia The venerable Joseph Dewey, who was a member of the from Otsego couniy, N. Yn in 1703, deposited the final voto Brooklyn, At the recent election. On leAving the polls, ho renwked that ho had cast the least two Presidential votes of which he waa proud-one for Washington and one for Fremont. A bottle thrown overboard from the ship Adirondack, on the banks of Newfoundland, in September, 1955, containing a letter from A lady on boArd to a friend in Ireland, was picked up in the river Shannon, in August, 1856, and the letter forwArded to its ad- drfM.

THE STANDARD. HILLSDALE, MICH. TUESDAY MORNING, NOV. 25, 1856. FOR PRESIDENT IN 1860.

JOHI7 C. VCXUiriOKT. General Result of the Presidential Election, with some Inferences To understand tho result and consequences of the recent election, we must refer to tho position of parties when the contest began. Mr. Pierce came into tho Presidency with a rery large majority.

It was not a pleurality but an absoluto majority, as tho following from the Cincinnati Gazette, which will bevf admitted to do tair ana correct, will snow. For Pierce For Scott 89 For iUle, (Fro Soil) 150,123 Majority over 8 over Scott and Ila'e 43,183 Had all the Free Soil votes been combined on Scott, he would only have carried Vcr-mcnt, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Ohio, with Kentucky and Tennessee, giving him 71 Electoral Votes. In fact he had 42. Such was tho overwhelming majority of the Democracy then. In less than twelve months Mr.

Pierce had broken up his party by aiding with the Nullifiers in tho South, and the Softs in New York. His composit Administration fell At once into tho hands of the poorest politicians, as well as the worst demagogues of his party, to tho gieat disgust of ita honest and capablo men. The Nebraska act completed hi downfall, and occasioned the formation of new party in the Freo States, based on tho great wrong of the repeal of States tho main body of the whigs, with a few Democrats, supported Mr. Fillmore as a conservative, in opposition to tho ultra slave party. In tho Freo States, notwithstanding all tho wrangling between tho supporters of Fremont and Fillmore, one fact is palpable, that both wero opposed to tho repeal of tho Missouri Compromise and the extension of slavery by acts of tho Government.

Substantially, therefore, (however different about men and viodes,) tho wholo voto given for cither Fremont or Fillmore, is a vote against Buchanan and the policy of the Democracy. Tho exceptions to this aro very few. As we said previous to tho election, nearly every man in tho Freo States who would havo preferred Buchanan to Fremont, actually voted the Buchanan ticket. With this explanation Ictus look at the results brougnt about on tho 4th.of November. First Wo present a comparison of tho majorities of Picrco and Buchanan, in 1852 and 1856: Fremont.

These figures aro given in round numbers, for wo have not yet received all tho returns, but they will bo found not very different from what we have given them.

It seems, then, that Buchanan has not gained more than forty thousand over Pierce in his Southern majorities, whilo he has lost three hundred and fifty thousand in tho Northern Slates. It docs not seem to us that this is a very profitable operation, or looks much like a prosperous lime ahead. But this docs not give tho whole view of tho case, for it has left out of view the Fillmore opposition in tho North. As near as wo can como to it, this is about that vote Massachusetts, fll.OOO Residue of Mow l.nslaiiu, New York. 13,000 133.000 SO.O 10 20.000 12.000 13.010 10,000 Pennsylvania, (straight) Indiana, Illinois, New Jersey.

Residue of Free States. Accregate, 813,000 We havo left California out of view, and estimated tho popular vote of South Carolina, which votes by LcgMaturo.

Upon these facts, when the official returns aro in, wo shall comment more fully. At present, tho great inferenco to be drawn from them, is that an administration wL'Jch li08 w'tn Buc a minority, must conduct itself remarkably -well, or it wiil speedily srire thi fate of Mr.

Pierce's. It has no prestige ct itrcngth. Ita friends will assume for it all imaginable prudence and skill, but boman nature dVea not justify such assumptions. Mr. Buchanan fca experience in politics, but is of moderato talents and timid character.

These qualities may givo him a certain share of prudence, but in ail probability he will fall into tho hands of selfish and desperate politicians, who will do with him as they did with Pierce. But let let us wait and ice. Fine showos nbout these days. FHOrj KANSAS Advices from Kansas to the 28th state that tho convention for tho nomination of a delegato to Congress met at Big Springs on that day. Most all the districts were represented.

Judge Schuyler presided. On the first ballot Reedcr received 108 votes; Parrot 71. Eeedcr was then declared unanimously nominated. A committee was appointed to report where tho election shall be held, to circulate a protest agalnRt Whitefield's election, and to recommend' Reedcr as the choice of the paople of Kansas. Tho canvassing commitee of five was ap pointed.

A resolution was passed eniorsoing tin political course cf Reeder and expressing a determination to continue zealously and actively to sustained freedom in Kansas. Another resolution consuming Gov. Geary was indefinitely postponed. Tho prisoners were on trial at Lecompton. Geary is still in tho southern part of the territory making arrests.

A Southern View of Tha nksffl vlng Day la tke Northern States. The Baltimore Sun, alluding to the fact that Thursday, November 20, has been fixed upon by most of the Governors of tho Northern States for tho annual Thanksgiving, asks Where aro the Governors of tho States south of Maryland! Tho inquiry has provoked tho following rather snappish reply from tho Carolina Times: "Wo ar ulfio tM a ry la ct aryland aro all at norao and competent to decide for thcmselvee when it will hi proper to fix upon a day to offer up thanks to the Almighty for past blessing. Tho movement on the part of the Northern Executives is no criterion for Southern men. Wo aro subject to law, common and divine, and need 'NorhWding birJ nor bleeding bsast.

As a generation of vipers they ought to bo warned to flee tho wrath to como; yet we bclievo that tho waters of Jord-in, Abana and Pharpar would fail to wash them and heal their leprosy, evcu though they were to dip seventy times seven. They have much to bo forgiven, and wo would advise them to pray oiten pray long and pray loud. Baltimore, especially, ought to bo covered with sackcloth and ahes." Senator Atchison cton Kansas. The Edgefield (S.

Advertiser publishes the following letter from ex-Senator Atchison, the chief of tho horde ufli.iiiK, "to encourage, tho peoplo to do soiiu tiiing moro for tho Kan' as cause:" Platte Citt, Thursday, Oct. 0, 1856.

What the Fillmorkites have done GRATITUDE TO THE SOUTH. TllO Louisville Journal, one of tho most influential of the Fillmoro organs ipenks of tho part acted by his party in the election of Mr. Buchanan, as follows "Although unsuccessful in tho election of its card idates, tho American party deserves tho gratitudo of tho country for what it ha done in tho recent contest. Tho supporters of Buchanan may rejoice over their au cess. They may shout loudly over thir rictory, but tho fact is plain, that if the contest had been singlo handed between Fremont and Buchanan, Fremont would without doubt havo been elected, Fremont has been defeated, and tho Democracy owe their success to tho fact, that tho Fillmoro party was in tho field.

To its efforts the country is indebted for tho defeat of the Northern sectional party. Cheap Pork for Winter. It appears, from tho reports in iw Western papers, that tho price of pork will bo considerably reduced tho coming season below tho rates paid at the samo period la6t year, when there was a greater demand for tho article. The aver-ago figure then was a trifle over $6 a hundred pounds. Now we see it quoted at $5 23.

Tho causi of this decline is ascribed to an expected diminution in the export to- Eumrw, and not to any deficiency in the crop. While therein a falling off in Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky, it made up by the abundant supply in Iowa, Illinois, and Missouri. The excess in the stock, as compared with last year, is equal to 100,000 hogs. St. Louis Democrat of the 12th says that tho pork packers had already established the opening price of hogs for tho season, and mentions asalo of two thousand five hundred head, to weigh more than two hundred pounds each, and he delivered between the and 20th of December, at $5 25 per 100 lbs.

Thero were sale also of newly rendered lard at 11c; now mess pork at $17 per bbh, and 3000 green hams, from the block, at 7 per lb. Packers wero offering from $5 to t5 50 for heavy hogs, prices at which, that journal thinks, the pork growers would do well to clone, inasmuch as swine are plenty in the West, and tho old stock of poik and bacon is far from exhausted. The pork-buyers and pork-sellers of New York, may also derive a useful hint from this information. N. Y.

Evening Post. jC3TLady Byron, widow of the poet, evinced her sympathy for tho sufferers in Kunsas, by transmitting to tho committee, through Mrs. Stowe, 65, (,825) with the following note Oirtnher 1, 1S5. "Pear Mrs, jron kindly undertake, in trsnmltinr my subscription towards tha relief of the sufferers in Kansas, toseenre this point that the money shall not ha applied to the purpose of providing armT It is however, intended as an epreion of sympathy with those ho have resisted oppresion at the nasard of life and property, and I cannot bat hope that such sympathy is felt as warmly by many here by "Vonrt most truely Nokl BtaoV Tte ran iuyjxj ca. The Albany Journal republishing the Na-thnal Platform of the Republican party, expresses the following views, which wo endorse most fully "Broad comprehensive and liberal, we would not add one line to it, nor take one line away.

If there are any who cannot act with us, unless this National Platform be made to embrace other purposes, the Parly can do better without their aid than with it. If there are any who would striko out a single declaration from it, their sympathies are not with the great principle on which the Party is based." The Grand Rapids Eagle raises the Fremont flag for 1860. Tho Lansing Republican has the following: "We notice several papers have declared for Fremont in 1860. Wo have not the least objection. We see no reason why he should not bo taken up by acclamation, as the People's candidate at the next election.

Indeed, we believe many reasons may be given why it would be better to run him a-gain than to put a new candidate in nomination. But the timo is too far distant to settle the question with certainty." The Battle Creek Journal, says: "The unaimity with which tho Republican papers throughout tho State hove the name of Fremont as a candidate for President in 1860, is gratifying, showing, as it docs, that the friends of Freedom are determined to work on, nd work ever for the right. Tho feeling in this Stato is so general on this po'nt, that wo know of but one single exception." At a meeting of the Republicans Alleghany, in which Pittsburg is located the following resolutions were unanimously adopt- 1 till L. Besolved, That we unfurl our banner to the breeze, inscribed John Charles Fremont for President in 1860, and the principles of the Convention of June 17, 1856, and under it will fight on and fight for ever, until triumphant victory rests upon our standard. Resolved That we do now express our determination to support no one for borough, township, county or State office who is not an avowed friend of Col.

Fremont for the Presidency and a supporter of the National Platform adopted at Philadelphia. JC3T There are no attempts made to force slavery on Kansas, says tho Detroit Free Press. What are the facts! Whitfield is at the present moment in New Orleans, raising mm and money, as. agent of the pro-slavery interests; and we find that a meeting was recently held at Westport, to organizo bands of emigration to colonize Kansas with a pro-slavery population. The following are two of the resolutions passed Retoltcd, That, in defiance Yankee guerillas and Lane banditti, we will make claims and occupy them Rtiolvtd, That we mutnally pledge "our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor." to aid and suppor at all hs7.ards, and to the Inst eitremity, eaeh other in all efforts to colon ijee Kansas with a population.

Senator Douglass Married. Senator Douglass was married at Washington City, on Thursday last, to Ada Cutts, of that city. The' ceremonies were performed by Father Byrne of tho Roman Catholic Church. This settles tho question, that tho Jit tie giant" can never bo tho Locofoco candidate for the Presidency, as he has been married by a Roman Catholic Priest.

Bociroao Citv, Nov. ISth. 1156. Two brothers, by the name of A If and John Countryman, living in Pennsylvania Settlement in this county, and about 14 miles distant from this city, had stolen a large drove of cattle, which they had found upon the prairies, and having driven them all night, entered our city with them yesterday morning about day break. Aa soon as an opportunity offered, they proceeded to maker sales cf their booty, offering them for even less than half price.

This of course excited suspicion, and the Sheriff being apprised of it, resolved to en- Suire into the matter. Upon questioning ohn, tho younger brother, as to whero he lived and whero he got the cattle, ice, he could give no satisfactory answer, and wae accordingly arrested and lodged in jail4 unknown to his brother. The Sheriff then proceeded to make enquiries of Alf, from whom ho could gain nothing definite, and resolved to arrest him also. As is uual, before placing him in jail, the Sheriff searched his (the prisoner's) person for arms, and as he supposed searched thoroughly, but found notn-mg save a few bullets in his vest pocket, for which fact tho prisoner gave some plausible excuse, and tho Shejiff proceeded to walk him off to jail. Arriving at tho door of the jail, the prisoner mado.a desperate effort, broke loose and took to his heels, closely pursued by the Sheriff, and upon coming up to the picket fenco which encloses tho court yard, each oner scaled it with perfect ease, aud continued the chase for about 200 foot, when the prisoner drawing from its concealment his pistol, turn' ed slightly to tho left, and discharged a bait through the body of the Sheriff who advano ed but a few paces and fell dead.

The prisoner, brandishing hia-tuat l.s J.c. iij iimwr wrno becan to asaemblA. kept them at bay for a moment, and then commenced his run across the fields for a piece of woods about two miles distant-Hundreds of citizens were not long in arriving at the spot, procuring horses, and continuing the pursuit. After a liltlo time tho prisoner was discovered lying upon his back behind a log in tho woods, and apparently in the greatest fright; he again attempted to handlo his pistol, but was soon overpowered, arrested and lodged in jail. After his arrest, the most intense excitement ever witnessed in this placo, prevailed.
