or all the letters which have been called forth by recent events, we regard the following production of Mir. Buch anan's pen as the most important. It IS written win the distinguished authors usual clearness and force. and it is marked by that high moral courage which the occasion demands. Mir. Buchanan has not hesifaed 10 step boldly into the field at once, to declare his sentiments freely on the exciting topic of the day, and to discharge a great duty at cri,- cal period of public affairs. Never were more proper words uttered at a more proper time. He comes forward in the spirit of union, in the spirit of cancellation, imthe spirit of compromise, 10 pour water upon the troubled waves. And what patriot will not thank him for the effort he has made, the courage he has exhibited the advice which he gives to his countrymen? He is opposed 10 the Wlmot Proviso-.ihis is right. He goes for the Missouri compromise to settle the agitaiing question: he is right. He throws himself into the breach;

 

 hear his warning voice, without respect and without the sincerest gratitude. It is source of great satisfaction ,o us, that~we agree in opinion with politician so distinguished, and whose opinion is so much entitled 10 the respect of his countrymen. But he stands upon the firm foundation of Truth; and let the storms rage as they may upon that house, it will stand, for it is built upon rock. But these storms cannot long endure. Many of those of our political brethren who may have expressed different opinion, willindulge "lhe sober second thought" revise their judgment. and reverse their opinion. Mr. Buch> auan speaks in the true spirit. He speaks in the spirit of the compromises which formed and adopted lhs Consi- tulion-this compact between the slaves holding and non'slGyeholding Slates.- He speaks in the compromise which prevailed over the des,ines of Missouri and of Texas. He speak in that spirit which will bind together this holy Union. to which every American is devoted by the strongest ties of feeling as well as of interest. It required some powerful voice 10 arouse the people; and we are happy 10 Lear that voice speak, and in the tone of concliaton and of wisdom. We recommend It's suggestion to the at tehton of all our readtrs.
