ANOTHER Correspondence. 1.-The fol-
lowing higly important, and deeply Interesting,
correspondence is paraded forth IN the newspa-

another correspondence-no doubt of equal in

New HopE, July 18th, 1851.
To the editors offhc american Sentinel.
CENTENNIAL have observed an article in
the Globe of the l1th inst. containing labored
attempt toshow that was on the look out for
- some offence from The President. Among
other remarks in support Of that assumption, a
note addressed by the President to me is given
as evidence of it. think ii proper, under these
circumstances, to communicate through your Pa
per, to the public, the entire correspondence be.
tween the President and myself on the subject re
ferred to in his note; on which deem it unne
cessary to make any other comment than to re-
mark, that in all the various notes received BY
me from the President antecedent to that time,
he had uniformly addressed me as "the Secre
tary of the Treasury The change could not
therefore, fail to attract my notice, and the pub
lie will Judge from the Presidents notice of the
9th inst whether it does not appear more pro-
bable, that he intended to designate me as stand
ing in new relation to the government, thar
that my note to him, of the 9TH inst. proceeded
from disposition TO look "out for offence"
A correspondence between Mr.. Berry and
myself is referred to in the Globe for the same
purpose. will also furnish you copies of that,
from which the public will be able to judge Of
its character.

Washington, June 9TH, 1891.

The President with his respects to Mr.. Ing
ham, acknowledges the receipt of his note of the
9TH inst, which he has this moment received
Its contents he has read with surprise. Surely
at no time has he in any way Intended the slight
est indgnity or any thing that could wear such
an appearance to any gentleman, who has been
connected with him in the government. 1t ought
not nor cannot be conceived that note hastily
written, addressed "acting," when it should
have been secretary Of the treasury should be con-
sidered an indgnity offered, or could diminish
or alter the authority under which he was trans
acting the duties of the department s7he Pre-.
sidenf in justice to himself can only add that it
tpas not intended TO alter them.

We dEar from some of our friends in our
views of the proposed Ant-Tariff Convention. -
We are in favor of that Convention-not because
we douht either the constitusionalty or expe-
d;ercy Of the Tariff. as a whole, but because we
are anxious that some of its provisions should be
modified. and general train of fairness and equa-
Ety run through it's details. We wish, too, that
the Southern people should have all opportunities,
in constitutional euy. of stating what they con-
slider their grievances, and, as far as possible of
redressing them. In all legislation there should
be decent respect paid to The sentiments of the
minority, who, although not allowed to govern.

The Richmond Compiler very properly takes

tations, unintentional We presume. If late oc-
currence in Pennsylvania. The Southern people
on this subject are badly treated. and at times we
feel angry at the perseverance Of our Nothcrn
friends in their irritating course. Free from the
curse Of slavery themselves, they cannot enter in
to views and feelings of the matter, and from
mistaken charity and zeal, do mere harm than
good in nine cases out of ten.
The following notice from New York paper
may be useful at this season.

disagreeable-it has been administered with per-

infants only few DAYS old.

The New York Commercial speaking Of Mr.
Clay, very correctly remarks:
He places too high an estimate upon his own
honesty and integrity of purpose-upon the mo.
raj dignity of his characterize be oficiously
counting popularity from any source. He stands
before the nation, erect, rich, in the rpened fruits
of political wisdom, and strong In the majesty Of
his own intellectual power. Should the nation,
Disguised with the present heart-sickenog state
of things at the capital, think proper to place him
at its head it will be we'll. The station to which
large portion Of the American people are in.
wiling him, is an object worthy Of the highest and
nobest ambition but Of one thing we may all
be certain: whether successful or not, HENRY
CLAY will resort to no base cxPedient to secure
the suffrases of the people. lie will stand upon
his own naked merits and receive them free, un.
bous ht and spontaneously, or not all!

From the following paragraph which appears ia
the New York Gazette, it would seem that the
Butchers in New York are determined not to be
behind their brethren in Philadelphia.
The Butchers of New York, as well as those
in Philadelphia, are about to make stand. One
of the most respectable butchers informed US yes.
terday, that such is the present fashion Of sup.
plying our market, that it is no longer an object
for any butcher to continue his business They
say, that nothing reaches the market in regular
way; and that small meats, and even cattle, ar.
intercepted by spectators and that an average
of live profits are secured before the article reach
es the consumer.
