as the great war-cry of his campaign, Mr.
Haskin was bound to it by new and more
solemn ties. Hut this adherance to the prin-ciples
has separted him from the Adminis-tration.
All his services to the President,
all his years of courage and consistency in
the Democratic ranks, went for nothing
against exacting spirit, which sought to dis-grace
him before the country because he
would not consent to dishonor himself to
his friends. And Mr. Haskin had appealed
from power to the people—from the insolence j support Of flu* Alter
of office to the ballot box—from the the ser-1 carefully the transactions which had
n
to take office at bis hands, and as he had de-cided
that 1 was not Southern enough to
take prosession of the national organ—from
which, with abundant prospect of being a
wealthy man I,had voluntarily retired, in ,5*3,
throwing np every possible advantage of rea-lizing
a competency for my family, to assist
him to the Presidentail nomination—I was
necessarily anxious to take no slep that
would not leave me in perfect harmony with
him, and rentier THE I'UFSS worthy of the

to make a Cabinet minister for us in the peT-son
of Jones of Berke county, the loudest
and most valiant opponent off the Lecomp-ton
policy of the present general Adniinis
tration would he the illustrious Attorney
General himself. How he remembers these
nen, how he regards these services, may Is*
understood from the fact that, although the
article from the Washington Union above
copied, was doubtless from his pen, and the
letter applauding the address which I made
on the 4th of.luly, 1857, was written by
him, yet he got* back of bis own record, to
assail those whose only offense is that ot
•eing true to the opinion which he has de-serted.
This is not a private letter, and il
the Attorney General, over his own name,
or in any authoritative manner will deny it,
it will give me great pleasure to spread that
eloquent epistle before the people of Penn-sylvania.
The next step was the preparation
Of the salutatory of The. Press, which I will
not repeat here, with the exception of the fol-lowing
extract, to show how earnestly I cher-ished
the desire of being on the tight side of
the powers that be:
•• the Press will speak for itself on all the
{Teat questions of the day. I have already
iiinounced (what, indeed, was universally
md justly anticipated.) that the political de-partment
of my paper should be conducted
■pon Democratic principles. It is equally
.veil known that the measures and the men
>f the present Administration at Washing-ton
have my heartiest approbation I have
known the great Btatofltnan now at the head
of the Government, and acted in concert
and confidence with him ever since my first
voutbful association in polities and editorial
life. The most agreeable services which ii
has fallen to iny lot to perform, were those
-iven to his cause. My attachment to him
grew not more from admiration of his pure
and upright character than from a profound
regard tor bis intellect, experience, and pa-triotism.
It was my good fortune, with
many good men, to assist, ,iot obscurely nor
inefficiently, in crowning a life of usefulness
and distinction to his country and himself
With the highest honors in the world. The
fruits of that result are already ripening for
the future. The wisdom ot the popular
choice is being daily vindicated by the quiet
and content which have followed the stormy
scenes of last year, as the sweet sunshine
follows the destructive tempest. Hud Mr
Buchanan not been, as he was, my firsl
•hoice for President, and yet approved bim
self worthy of the high trust confided to bin
hands, by regarding, respecting, and protect'
ng the rights of the citizen and the rights
of the States, I should have done everything
that one man could do to uphold and to
•t.rengthen him, and 10 gather around him
united public opinion. The performance
■i that dutj" becomes a proud satisfaction
lowever, when the consistency, dignity and
ability of his Administration, are so mani
proofs that he wVH deserved tbe persevering
ind enthusiastic preference of those gullaul
men who have clung to his fortunes througl
good report, and through evil report, during
so many long years."
This opening address I also forwarded .■
Washington, allowing them make its expres-sions
of devotion to the President even stron-ger
than I had originally written them, 'finis
lortificd—thus clothed with the panoply of
Ihe great principle of popular sovereignty—
is it any wonder that I started joyously in
my onward career? Not a dollar off the mon-ey
with which THE PRESS was established
