niGNiY INTERESTING DEVELOPMENT
Words can hardly express the surprise
excited in cur minds hy the perusal OF the
letter ol MIR. Mitchell, Representative in
Congress from. South Carolina, which will
be found OH the preceding page. We shall
refrain from comment upon it, until MIR.
Iiaync, and Others concerned; h4ve an OPP
porlunity TO be heard in reply. There is
a COMMISSION, however, between the facts
disclosed in this letter, and. the Colieton
proceedings, and other incidents that have
taken place since the adjournment al
Congress, leaving ID the mind painful int
pressions, which il will not be easy to e.
Yadicate. The Whole attention of our rea-
ders, will, we know, be attracted to this
subject, until every thing relating to it is
disclosed. We wish it we're possible to
resist the belief Of the substantial, truth, of
the statements which Me-. Mitchell has felt
himself bound to make.---Ndt. Intel.

!. TO the Hon. Robert \. Haync:
SIR-Itis with great reluctance that ]
ever appear in public prints and Ian,
sure no motive can be assigned for my
wishing unnecessarily to interfere he
tween you and the writer under the
signature of"Union." Who that writer is,
know not. The communication appea-
red in the Winyaw paper, when was one
hundred miles distant !; ! did not read it
until long after its appearance-and al;ho'
it called on the members of the delegation
to explain our proceedings at your i,onse.
in the city of Washington, did not feel
myself in any wise bound to obey. / was
perfectly willing that others, if they tho'tN
proper, should publish what / did and said.
] knew that the most malignant SANDER,
unprincipicd as It is, could distort no act
Of mine into. "a sentiment hostile to the un-
ion, or alien to that reverence for the
Constitution, which have ever regarded
as essential to the character off good citi-
zen---more especially, of one honored with
such high trusts as we are. Under this
impression ]. determined that the publica-
tion should forever remain unanswered by
me. 1as.e q, sr
But on reading your letter in the Intel
ligencer Of Wednesday last, ] feel myself
called on to address you in public, because
Of some Of your positions, and the whole
character and air Of the composition, APP
pear to impugn statements which have
made in respect to the meeting referred to
statements which know to be true, and
which / communicated to few Of the
most enlightened of my constituents--not
with view to criminato others, (stiA less,
that they should be published) but simply
as a part of that political information
which it was my duty and my pleasure to
give.
l will therefore proceed to contrast the
statements which / have made, with your
positions. You say in your letter, ~ deny
that any proposition was ever submitted To
the delegation Of South Carolina that the
members should Immediately abandon their
seats, return home, and thereby end all
further political connexion with the Gov
ernment." And will you deny, Sir, that
after all the southern delegation Except
Georgia,) had positively refused to unite
with US in such a protest as was thought
effectual by you and others, that propo-
sition was made by one Of our members
that we should formally secede frem Con-
ercss-return homeland say to our con-
stituents, that our services were no longer
ofany use That when this proposition
was made, il was Immediately opposed by
Col. Drayton, who at once declared that
he would not cohcur,as tho act thus perior-
med would be unconstitutional, and would
not be sanctioned by his constituents. l
cannot sir be mistaken in this statcment.-
The proposition excited feelings too strong
