The following important and interesting corres pondence between Mr. Buchanan and the Commit tee of the late D ‘inocratic National Convention, appointed formally to advise him of his nomina tion a j the Democratic candidate tor the Presiden cy, will be read with deep gratification by all pa triotic men. The distinguished gentlemen who re presented the Convention on the Committee, dis charged their duty gracefully and eloquently, and •ve predict- that the reply of Mr. Buchanan will stond and confirm the almost univ ersal confidence which Ins nomination inspired in the popular heart. Surround id as we are with the jarring elements of faction and fanaticism, urgent and eager to combine, n : for the sake of tile country, but in order that tlr y may to more successfully divide and lac -rate the Cnion, such an exhibition as that furnish *d in Mr. Buchanan’s letter accepting the Democratic nomination for Preside"> . assumes a aural dignity, and conveys P political lesson, ren der'd all tht. more impressive b 'cause standing out ia su.ii marked contrast to the 1 -w and grovelling policy of our adversaries. He comprehends the whole American people, considers their relations each to tie.' other, and applies to all their rights aril their interest the test of the Federal Consti- tai Ion, and the patriotic pledge to stand hv every immunity that sacred instrument li»* guaranteed, at every hazard and every sacrifice.

Lancaster. June 12th, lH.Yfi.

We have been directed by tin* Convention to convey to you this intelligence, and to request yea, in their name, to except the nomination for tiie exalted irti-t which the Chief Magistracy of tin Union imposes. The Com mtion, founding th ir a- ion it; on the time honored principles of the 1 • iinocratie pa.ty, have announced their views in relation to the chief questions which engage the public mind; aud while adhering to the truths of the past, have man ifested the policy of the present in a series of res olutions, to which we invoke your attention. The Convention feel assured, in tend, ring to you this signal proof of the respect and esteem of your countrymen, that they truly refloct ihe opin ion which the people of tiie United Spates entertain of your eminent character and distinguished pub lic services. They cherish a profound conviction that your elevation to tiie first office in the Repub lic will give a morai guarantee to the country that th • true priiieip!- s of the Constitution will he as serted and maintained : tliai the public tranquili ty iviil he* stabiisiied; that the tumults of lac.ion will he stilled ; that our domestic industry will flourish, that our foreign affairs will he conduct ed with such wisdom and firmness as to assure the j'-osp rity of the people at lion: while the inter ests and honor of our country arc wisely hut in flexibly maintained in our intercourse with other nations, and, especially, that your public experi ence and iliu coulideuce of your countrymen, " ill enable you to give effect o Democratic principles, so as to render indissoluble the strong bonds ol mutual interest and national glory which unite our confederacy aud secure the prosperity ci our people.

Wheatland, near Lancaster, ) June 16th, ISoti. $ Gentlemen: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of yonreommunication of the 1 -itli ins ., infor : ! g me officially of my nomination by the Democratic National Convention recent.y held at Cincinnati, as the Democratic candidate for the office of President of the United States. I shall not attempt t > express the grateful feelings which 1 entertain tov. arils my Democratic fellow-citizens for having deemed me worthy of this—the high cst political honor on -arth—an honor such as the people of no other country have the power to be stow. Deeply sensible of tin- vast and varied res ponsibility attached to the station, especially at the present crisis of our affairs. 1 have carefully re- frai-oel from seeking the nomination either by word or deed. Now that it has been offerred by the Democratic party, I accept it with diffidence in rnv own ..bibties, but with an humble trus’, that in the event of my election, I may he enabled to discharge my duty in such a manner as to allay domestic strife, preserve peace and friendship with foreio-u nations, and promote the best interests ot the Republic. In accepting the nomination I need scarcely say that 1 accept in the same spirit the resolutions constituting tue platform of principles erected b> the Convention. To this platform I intend, to confine myself throughout the canvass, believing that I hare no right, as tiie candidate of the Dem ocratic party, by answering interrogatories, to pre sent new and different issues before the people, s It will noflie expected that in this answer, I should specially refer to tin subject of each of the resolutions; and I shail therefore confine myself to C’o two topics now most prominently before the people. And in th ■ first place, I cordially concur m the s ntim nts expressed by the convention on the subject of religious lib r y. No party founded on religions or political intolerance towards one class of American citizens, whether boru in our own or a foreign Dud, can long continue to exist in this country. We are all equal before God and the Constitution; and the dark spirit of despotism and bigotry which would create odious distinctions among "*ir tellow citizens, will be spe-’dil^ rebuked by afre. and enlightened public opinion. The agiLation on the question of domestic slave ry lias to“ long distracted and divided the people of ibis Union, and alienated their affections from This agitation lias assumed many ry, because acknowledged power and stability al ways command respect among nations, and are among the host securities against aggression and in favor of the maintenance of honoR.o.e peace. May we not hope that it is the ini.-sion ot the Democratic party, now the only surviving eonsei- vativ* pa ty in the country, ere long to overthrow Fillmore in a fix.

Mr. Preston, of Kentucky, being called for, spoke as follows:—Mr. President, I deeply mind to accept it! The s the action.

Rome, Kiilainev, Venice—the solemn centre of sc a 1 .'inch nt heroism and modern thought, the hcanti- ,oiial ! tin resting-place of the graceful spirits of the Cel tic I\aee, the ruined home of conspiracy and dark lanterns, fascinating even in iu. ruins—S"ch were the places selected by Mr. Fillmore, tor the study of Know-N. thingism,and the necessary pre paration for preaching its evangel to the world. Mr. Fillmore will regret in due time having eon- j Pemtsvivf ni'Cted his respectable name with the descending career of a party which has subsided even beneath flic importance of a faction.

Tnc uorAuniion of lly. Fremont—the famous pos.-e-.-or. f he V,.Killy 1 lorse which lc sold to Bar- num has positively made The Daily Times frantic; h t us hope that it wili not se!i the \\ oolly Heads to some political Barnntn. In its issue of he IDth it openly appeals to the Oa.ifomiati argnmentam ad hominum, and thus jingles th money bags ot Mar; posa in the face of the public : It is also needless to say that the opposition ele ments. now happily combined by the action of the Philadelphia Convention, have everything to gain, and die prospect of the largest, wealth where with to pay, in the campaign we have entered upon. To those whom such sordid inducements are alone efficacious they have the whole resources of federal patronage to offer. Now, like the doctor, who, w hen told by a friend ‘•he was devilish ugly,” replied, “that at all events he admired the others candtdidness, we must ad mire tiie openness of the confession as above re cord- d. IVe are glad to find that they reiv more on the money than tiie merits of their candidate. That there tnav be no mistake about the bribery to be practiced", the Times reiterates the power of corrup tion in another part ot the same at tide. Without deliberately holding out any such bait mercenary aid. the opposition will, in spite ot itself, attract a formidable vote of this not very r spt .-table description. Sinn- the days when the influence of Gen. Jackson ceased to be omnipotent, the value of this little secret has been repeatedly de monstrated. Even The Herald in its editorial of the saute day sings the same tune, as our readers can see by tiie following extract: T he Fremont cause will doubtless have plenty of money, books, pkamphhts, pictorials, songs, tians- pareuccs, and agitation in every shape m d lotm; and they will futhermore liav • the stimulus a clean sweep of the plunder. On the other hand, wliiie there is nothing of enthusiasm in the name or history of Mr. Buchanan, it is very uncertain whether he w ill have even half-a-dozen good offices to give away. Unfortunate Mr. Buchanan! Too poor to bribe, you can oniy rely on your past services to your countrv, and your undoubted titu.-ss tor your office. We now see why The Herald iias abandoned the Democratic candidate! We would not. however, advise the Horse party to overestimate the value of “the little secret, as they term it TImre are many among the “North Americans” who though willing to work tor Banks, prefer Buchanan to Fremont. W liile they respect the chaiaeterof the latter for adventure and success, they are two patriotic to place in the hands of a mere man of physical action the tangl ed web of a public policy, which will require the greatest wisdom and administrative ta.ents to unravel. Mr. Fr montis a first-rate explorer, but lie is not a statesman.—A". 1. .Vies. i f, innot but feel ensibie at ihe honor which this Conven tion has conferred upon me by its call. The great democracy of the Union has this day assembled here and announced tle-ir principles to the count ry, and, as representatives of these principles, have nominated Jaui'.s Buchanan of I'eunsylva* uia, and J Breck'-nridge of Kentucky, for President and Vice President of these i uated Slates. The exultation with which these nomina tions have been received, proves how deep and ! ,-»nio«t arc the intentions of the democracy, in the approaching contest, to vindicate their views and achieve a victory. I heard the announcement which proclaimed" the veteran statesman of Penn sylvania as the candidate of the democratic party, ring through this hall amidst applause of the thirty- one States,Who hailed: it as an auspicious omen of victory, but when the name of an oid comrade in other lands and a bosom friend, was added for ! the second office, then the deepest gratification j filled my heart. He is endeared to us by many ! cherished memories,and who can hut regard with ; heartfelt pride this evidence of the appreciation of ! his countryman. j Perhaps Mr. President. Kentucky has usurped | more than her share of the honors in Convention j James Buchanan was a son ot her early adoption. He was, for a time, a citizen of the State, and however short was the period of his citizenship, itis subsequent renown causes us to treasure the recollection with h-oiest pride. The other nom inee is a native of the State—a grandson of that John Breckenridge who introduced the memora ble resolution of i/Ofl, which yet constitutes the foundation ot the States rights creed, i he purity j of his life and the energy of intellect command the respect and < onfidence of our people of this gen- i eration. With such a ticket, Kentucky will iiiovi forward with the same gontrosity ot impulse for the redemption of the country that maikcd her i struggles for tiie statesman ol Ashland. Ihe uews of his nomination, which is now being trans mitted by telegraph to lter-peoplc, will be received i with acclamations of joy and triumph. But, why do I stand here? Why is it necessary | for me to respond to the call of the Convention; , me, who, but a short time since, belonged to the old, honored organization, the adversary ot the : democratic party, on great questions of public ; policy? I find that organization dissolved, aud ; myself and thousands ol others driven, for tiie I maintenance of our constitutional rights, into the I ranks of our former opponents. The last two ; years have witnessed the dissolution of the v. hig ! party, and the uprising of a deluge of fan? ".cal I factions which threatened to overw helm the equal , rigli.s of the States, tin; constitution of th- country, I and the prosperity of the people. I am one of those two or three hundred thousand old whigs who, disclaiming the shallow heresies avid pro- : sorptive t--nets of th. miscalled American party, ! eschew all duplicity, abjure all compromise, and rath r choose to stand in honorable alliance with our ■ former opponents in d -fence ot that constitution which makesrs one peeplc. than to take thesens.'- less and absurd oaths ofttie wretch d Know Nothing i Older. During this time the democrats have j vk . j)nty for lort y. five years. His uprig men u .. p.-t.i . con-istent character, both in public aud proven themselves equal to their tion; but it 13 now our enviable fortune to aid in the ba.tlc and share in tiie glory of victory. Not the acquisition of Louisiana, with her fertile plains—not the annexation of Texas, which ex tended the empire still further southward—not the planting of our standard on the turrets of Mexi co, or the struggles that won the golden shores of California, will equal in moment or importance that great contest upon w liicli w e now enter, for the preservation of our internal tranquility, the maintenance of our laws, the restoration of con cord and the perpetuation of the grand political each other. „ form* since its commencement, but it now seems to he directed chieflyrto twritorre.; «d jndjgg , b t0 us by 0 ur revolutionary from its present Jiar.icte , •• r 7, fathers. For the defence ot those principles, the KSispidlj approaching nnality. . . , . . , . . .. The recent legislation of Congress respecting do mestic slavery, derived as it has been front the original aud pure fountain of legitimate political power, the will of the majority, promises ere long to allay the dangerous excitement. The legisla tion is founded upon principles, as ancient as free government itself, au.l in accordance with them, has simply declared that the people of a Territory, like tho ie cf a State, shail decide for themselves, whether slavery shall or shnii not exist within their limits. Tfie Nebraska-Kansas act does no more than give the force of law to this elementary principle of self-government; declaring it to he “the true intent and meaning of this act not to legislate slavery into any terrritory or State, nor to exclude it therefrom : but to leave tiie people thereof per fectly free to form aud regulate their domestic iu- .tlitutions in tiieir own way, subject only to the Uonstitution of the United States. I his princi ple will surely n t he controverted by any indi vidual of any party professing devotion to popular government. Besides, how vain and . illusory would auy other principle prove in practice in re gard. to the territories! This is apparent from the fact admitted by all, that after a territory shall have enter'd the Union and become a State, no Constitutional power would then exist which could prevent it from either abolishing or establishing slavery, as the case may be, according to its sover eign will and pleasure Most happy would it be for the country if this long agitation were at an end. During its whole progress it has produced no practical good to any human being, whilst it lias be n the source of great and dangerous evils. It iias alienated and estranged one portion of the Union from the other and has eveu seriously threatened its very exist ence To my personal knowledge, it has pro duced 'he impression among foreign nations, ihnt our n-reat and glorions confederacy is m constant danger of dissolution. This does us serious iuju- deinocratic party stnnd in battle array, against all adv Tsaries. defiant in their patriotism, energetic in the virtue and conscious purity of rheir motives that they will maintain them with impregnable strength against the assault of every adv ersary of true republicanism. In that battle no less than two hundred thousand i artiest and most devoted adherents to the old whig party will be found standing shoulder to shoulder with them, animated by no hope but for the public welfare, forgetful of the past and determined by a bold and fearless alliance to win the victory in the approaching presidential contest > » factions divide us—and standing here in Cincinnati, and looking to the s'ore of my native Kentucky, I can say with t-utli, no geographical line, no mountain, no river severs our party. , Under these views, Mr. President, I, as one of the old whigs—and there arc thousands of others —embark in this campaign. We came in uncon nected with any traditional glories of democracy, v.i bout any of its achievements, emblazoned on our shields; hut we came determined to ride deep into the camps of the foes that beleager us, aud to win our spurs upon the field. A If'ooty Horse President — A correspondent of one of tlie. morning pup'rs from Counoticut savs:— I was very much surprised to see that a person named Fremont was thought of as President of the United States. Is not this a joke get up to trick us country folks! The only Fremont vve ever heard of down here is the man Barnum hired to catch his wooly horse in the mountains. Now, it this man Fremont is put up fur President we ought to make F’red. Douglas Vice-President, so as to l ave a wooly horse President and a wooly head Vice-President. But is there such a man as Fre mont? , A good idea; the wooly horse aud wooly head ought to fuse, by all means. [From the Intelligencer at Lancaster.] A Stale Falsehood Revived. The Independent Ming "t this city (.l Know Noth ing, Black Republican, Nigger Worshipping jour nal has already commenced the work ui delama- Li. ’i and falsehood for which its unprincipled edi tor and owners have such a wonderful proclivity. T his does not surprise us in the least—inth-cd, we should have been disappoint'd had that paper pursued any other course. The- editoi is only laboring in Ids true vocation—doing the dirty work of his unscrupulous masters. Amongst other iaisclioods against Mr. Buchanan retailed in its columns, is the olt refuted one about the ‘ drop of biood.” The v, titer knows this to be falsi —for it was pronounced such by a number of i Djoac our most respectable citizens, ot al! parties, at the rime tin- charge was first started. And this fact .lie writer for the Independent Whig was cog nizant of. But lie says he has living lestiiuoiiy .o , rove the charge. Weil, then, why does he not produce his testimony? We are aware that there is an old man in tins city, whose character to. veracity is so bad, and whose conduct is so despicable ti.at no one acquainted wi'h him would believe him on oath, much less his mere naked asseveration. This man, we presume, is the authority upon whom the Independent Wing relies to prove the villanious lalsehood. But let that paper produce its man, and we pledge ouis. tves to produce a: least twenty of our mostrespeetabie eiti- z-ns who will prove the story a downright lie—a base unmitigated lalsehood from beginning to end. Mr. Buchanan lias resid' d in this city aud its His upright and private life, is well known to almost every mail, woman and child of this community. The people of this county have time and again honor, d him with th- ir suffrages, and it is a remarkable tact that tie iias never yet been beat- li at a popular election before the people of Lancaster county. It is, therefore, all futile for a strolling Yankee nutmeg adventurer, tike the editor ol the Independent Whig, to attempt to injure Mr. Buchanan at his own home. The tie in question has been repeated so often by a reckless and unprincipled opposition, as to have lost all novelty ami interest. Nobody believes a word of it. Mr. B’s. enemies will have to get up some other story—concoct some new falsehood—if they hope to deceive any portion of the people. ^ ^ Sure enough, the “F’illmore American National Club” of New York, at the regular meeting on Saturday evening last, adopted a series ot resolu tions, absolving themselves from al! further connection with th*- Fillmore and Denel son party, and enlisted under the Black Republican Fremont and Dayton banner. The resolutions were adopted with but one dissenting voice. Mr. Van Ripper, the President of the Club, was a member of the Philadelphia Convention which nominated Mr. Fillmore, and quite an enthusiastic member of the “Order.” But the Club considered themselves and party cast away or shipwrecked, and “Were mad for land, and thus their course they rau, Though right ahead the roaring breakers lay: A reef between them also now began To show its boiling surf and bounding spray, But finding noplace for their landing better They ran the bant ashore.'’ j where truths might be unpalatable, i Your Committee are happy to state, that their j hope has been realized to its utmost exn tit, ] anil thei. apprehensions utterly dissipated.

The committee reported the following pream and resolutions. , The National Democratic Party, lately, cinnati, erected a Platform", and non.tt _ j ean- did.'tes for President and Vice President, /it is proper for us a portion of the people, to eximiine tin- Platform and consider the qualification! and fitness of the candidates. After a carefullexam- ination of the Platform, we cordially ap;«ive its superstructure and base. It's superstructure is admirably suit' d t« the exigency of the times, the principles of our Government, fully nifcet every question now distracting the political, I and rests upon the pillars of State Rights, pnrqf American ism (the Monroe doctrine) Democratic, Republi canism, and a strict construction of tbe Constitu tion. A strict construction of this lxitiorm must and will secure to every section equal rights. We especially approve the Kansas Ncfiraska Plank. Fidelity to this plank will give pea/e and quiet to tin pf'ple of the Union, and exiinpt Congress from the biitei and angry disfinssSius to which it lias so long been subject. It has removed the odious invidious distinction ot ill Missouri com promise, whereby, the Southern man with his property i.s excluded Irani the terntoriea, (the com mon property ot all) north ot tin'; wliiie the Northern man has equal rigldfs in all territory .south of it, and mor<—he hail to exclude slavery therefrom, if he could get tjfie majority in the formation of the constitution to agree with him. The Nebraska Kansas principles guarantees to ad s- ctious, equal rights to rend ve to the territories, with every species of property, and to dctenuine the question of slavery, a* well as others, when the people form a State (.'(institution. It has de nied to Congress the rigid to legislate upon the question, and has adopted, by irresistible infer ence, tlic right ot the South to b- let alone. '1 bis is all we have ever claimed/ The Platform is v orthy of the nation; and the Candidates are worthy of the Platform. / James Buchanan of /Pennsylvania, tin- eminent statesman, and the iireiligent and skillful diplo matist, and John CJBreck.-nridge of Kentucky, are the proper guardians of such a Platform. As Americans, as suntItem men, w e arc proud of the man, w hose fame iias extended to Europe aud won the cstieui and coAitidcnce of tin- most powerful statesmen of the m<-e—,uch is James Buchanan.

Democratic Meeting in Early. At a meeting of the Democratic party held at Blakely, on Saturday the 21st of June, on motion of ilr. F. T. Cullens, Captain J. S. Means was caned to the Chair, and YV. M. Porter. Esq-, re quested to aet as Secretary. Maj. YV. C. Cook explained the object of the meeting to be the appointment of delegates to represent the county of Early in the Democratic Convention to be held at Milledgeviile on the 4th of July next. , On motion of Mr. Cullens, a Committee of live was appointed by the Chair, to report matter for the action of the meeting. The eommittee consist ed ot the following named gentlemen: h. 1 • Cul- lens, YV. C. Cook, Jas. B. Brown, Duncan J. Davis and Dr. G. YV Holmes. After retiring a few moments, the committee return* d and reported through their Chairman the following resolutions, which were unanimous!' Ui solved. That in the nomination of James Buch anan and John C. Breckenridge, the Democratic party iiave silenced the puerile cant of its jtrelet* cnee for mediocre talent over eminent services and acknowledged ability. . Resolved, Tiiat tiie endorsements of the Resolu tions at Cincinnati by the said noiniii-■> s is aguai- antv for the political faith of the latter; and that that faith is eminently conservative whilst it aids in a proper expansion of the Union without detn- 1 ment to any portion thereof, maintaining a relig ious observance ot all the compromises ot the Constitution, as well as of the spirit in which that alive statesmai the South. I iq steadlast. friei admission he l for anti' xatidfi, he stood by her. YY'hen the YY il- most Provist/ was sprung, in anticipation of tiie acquisition fit Mexican Territory, lie opposed it with all l'.is/po'.vr. Territory "as acquired, the Abolitionists lost’tiie YY'iluiot Proviso! foiled, but not conquered, they then assumed the position, that tiie acquired territory was free by virtue of the prior Mexican Law. Buchanan at this crisis, as a friend to every section proposed to extend the Missouri line to the Pacific. '1 he proposition was rejected with disdain, by the North. F’rom this denial 'of justice to the Sonth, as many great statesmen, both North and South, believed, a train <Sf events was put in motion, which deliver ed to tiie country, the compromise measures of 165 t. Again, Buchanan couid see that the South as Well as the North had rights, anil laying aside tho'partiality, which most men have for their own section, even against right, lie came out the bold defender of tiie F’ugitive Slave Law. His action upon this subject and occasion will endear him tlio more to the South; because just at that time, Millard F'iilmore, the great conservative who knew no North, no Sonth, no East, no YVest, as his friends said, and who now, lias the confidence of manv southern men, when lie came to this part of tbe compromise, paused, and doubting its con stitutionality refused his assent, until ids objec tions were swept away, and his reasoning over come, by the powerful argument, of Attorney Gen- eural Crittenden. And now when tiie Black Re publicans demand tins repeal of ttie Nebraska Kansas principle of permitting the people in the territories to govern themselves, and demand the restoration of the Missouri Compromise, Mr. Buchanan opposes and stands fast, by the South. And while Mr. F'iilmore plants himself upon a l'iatfonn in which he pledges himself to maintain the Kansas Nebraska act until repealed, and so of the fugitive slave law, Mr. Buchanan pledges himself to both as great Constitutional Principles. and are therefore, irrepealable and conclusive in their ou tare. He was the first to insist thntthe compromise measures of 165it superceeded the Missouri compromise, and gave back to tlio South the equal rights in all the territories of which she had been robbed; the first to insist that the compro mise measures of l -5 restored to the people of the territories the right of regelating their own uoim s ;c relations. F'rom the foregoing the following resolutions naturally arise: Resolretl 1st, That the Cincinnati Convention, in putting in nomination James Buchanan of Pa. for President aud John C- Breck'-nridge of Ky. for Y’iee President, has tendered a ticket, that Georgians should be proud to support; and we same Sant I used to be?

But what with turning round aud, and standing on new high platforms, aud drinking an extra julip or two.

So I’ll lay down here and go to sleep, it was Sancho Panza who invented sleep. 1 wish lie was on the ticket with me and Jackm-s, instead of that proud fellow F’iilmore, with his furrin quality airs and high notions. He had as much experience in government ns Fillmore, and heap more manners and sense. I wonder after lie was tossed ou the blanket, if he was dizzy and drunk as I am.

Highly Complimentary.—Some of the Know Nothing and Republican papers, such as the Philadelphia Kars, Harrisburg Tit graph, Ac.. have already waded through the dust and rub bish of more than forty years, to discover a speech Mr. Buchanan made when quite a young man— isolated and garbled passages ot which they now produce to his prejudice. That statesman must produce an enviable record whose opponents are driven to such a ridiculous extremity to assail his present position. Nothing could he more compli mentary, in our humble judgment. YY'liy don t they iuve.-tigate his legislative and diplomatic career? He served two sessions in the State L g- islature, ton years in Congress, ten in the U. 8.

They also state that our Minister will not receive his passports, and that there is no danger of a rupture between the two governments. This is corroborated by despatches at the State Department. The despatch concerning a Southern meeting to organize a “eoninn rcial association” is calculated to create an erroneous impression. There -has been no meeting of Southern-rs on the subject.

Opposition to the followers and disciples of ‘Washington, his asso ciates and imitators; to the friends of the Constitu tion and tiie Union, and some of the ablest and purest patriots and statesmen who have ever Don- adorned America. Opposition to those measures which have blessed our country, and which the mass of the people now approve. Opposition to true American principles, viz: ‘Man is capable of self government—popular soveregntv—let tbe peo ple rub—allow the people of Kansas and other Territories, to establish their own domestic institu tions. and when they have required population, and Iiave framed “a republican form of govern ment,” admit them into the Union, without a why or wherefore.
