My dear Gyo,,dson, .dleraadcr,-Your letter
OF the eth uit respecting a" Dissolution Of our
Federal Union and forming a Northern Confede-
ration" did not come to hand till last evening"
| In answer to which can say, that have not the
least impression on my mind that ever had any
knowledge of any such resolution so long rs
was member Of Congress ia years)-not even
| the circulation of such report. But am an old
man, (risng OF so years,) and find my memory as
to recent events fails me, yet am confident that
a proposition of such plan would have made an
impression on my mind too deep 10 have been
effaced. If you think this declaration will give
satisfaction to any OF my former associates, you
! have my liberty to make it known, and shall be
happy in their remembrance, and yours.

| minister TO Coiom5ia.-Whiie the Condition
Editors have affected to be mighty shocked al
| the waste of the public money, occasioned by the
recall ofGen. Harrison from Colombia, we wonder
it.dld not occur to them that such charge came
with but i'll grace from those who had witnessed
| the waste occasioned by his appointment without
| whisper OF censure; foy they could not but be
aware that aitho' Gen. Harrison was appointed in
.Idy 1928, he did not reach Colombia until Fe5,ry
lS29-during which time he had received 10000
outfit and $4,000 salary, Fifteen thousand dol
lars before he had even made his bow to the Pres-
dent Of Colombia.. We think and the good honest
yeomanry Of the country will think with us, that
such minister could not be too soon recalled.
