" SPECIAL CORRESPONDEN7S."

the Anglo-American Times says :—lt is inte-
resting to read the arguments of the " Special
Correspondents 'at Washington " of the Times
of the Standard, and other journals of Cop-
perhead proclivities. We freely grant their right
to argue and to colour facts by the tone of their
minds, but not to misstate these facts. Republican
in his letter to the Pall Mall Gazette, which we
have transferred to our columns, exposes two
mistakes in the letter, March 2, of the
Times' correspondent, which are excellent in-
stances of the misrepresentations of which
so many Americans in Europe complain.
We repeat what we stated in a former
number that it is the duty of a correspondent cor-
rectly to state facts, and not to write leading
articles. But even if lie choose to indulge in lead-
ing articles, and the editor sanctions the digression
from his proper functions as a correspondent, still,
he has no right first to misstate facts, and then take
this misstatement as the text for his article. When
we read the leading columns of the Standard we
know and expect a Tory view of passing events,
and it is generally an honest and fair one. To the
Standard's American correspondent a great latitude
is allowed. People who wish to have their Copper-
head proclivities strengthened, and facts and argu-
ments in this direction furnished would apply to
the Standard for the information. To the Times,
however, we look for an impartial review. You
may get this in its columns, on English and Eu-
ropean intelligence, but, we regret to state, not on
American. We do not complain of the views ex-
pressed in its leading columns, but we do com-
plain of the misstatements in the letters of its
American correspondents.

AMERICAN POLITICS.
To the Editor of the "Pall Mall Gazette."

" Sir,—Will you let me point out in your columns
one or two mistakes in the American correspondence
of one of your contemporaries of a kind by which
Americans find themselves more frequently misre-
presented than is right? The letter to which I refer
says that the offence of the Secretary of the Trea-
sury which led Mr. Sumner to accuse him of utter-
ing notorious falsehoods,' was that in one or two
Southern States he (Mr. M'Culloch) had not been
able to find sufficient men to collect the revenue
who could take the test oath, and, therefore, he
appointed collectors without regard to the oath.'
The offence really was that Mr. M'Culloch made a
report as to what he had done calculated to deceive
the country and Congress.

" Again, the author says, 'Massachusetts, through
her Legislature, refuses to adopt the Constitutional
Amendment. What will Mr. Sumner say to this?
Is it true that the New England party love the
negro, or merely hate the South ?' The fact is, that
the Constitutional Amendment was opposed by the
Abolitionists in America simply because it did not
give the negro suffrage, and did not, in their
opinion, guarantee his safety. It was killed in the
Massachusetts Legislature by a speech from Wen-
dell Phillips, President of the Anti-Slavery Society,
to whom, he not being a member of that body, the
Legislature granted a special audience on the sub-
ject. " REPUBLICAN."
