to the remarks of Messrs. Siade and Linn.

Erchequer.-We have not had time to say much
about the Exchequer Bill, reported by the House,or
the Report with which it was ushered before the pub
lie. We believe they have both given much satsfac-
ton to all except the minority member, Mr.. Davis,
of Ky. who made his counter report We are
all sides ought to be exhibited. We suppose Mr..
Cushing will be allowed the honor of making his own
Report though the honor, very unjusty, we believe,
was denied to MIR. Forward. As to the Bill there
was much, of conrse, that was taken from Mr. For
wards Bill and much of this, Mr. f. took from some
body else. The cnmmunity have made from time to
time general contribution of their schemes on cur
rency, and the Secretary had right to disclose of
them as he thought best; but the Fnanse Committee
have rejected goodly portion of what he bestowed
on Congress, and which called forth many gall and
worm-wood speeches. This bill comes in a
happy time, when all the bile of Congress has been
bestowed upon its predecessor We shall shortly see
how the Bankitcs and the shmaelites will regard MIR.
C,shings Bill. They will doubtless show fight and
''handle their bows like crow-keeper;' but they
will find in Gushing Camanchian that will meet them
on any ground and return their at every onset
And he will be backed by able allies. Mr.. Roose-
welt and others of the committee fully understand the
subject and will be able TO MAINTAIN the result of their
labor and beliberaon. There are some provisions
in the Bill that will probably undergo amendments
and it not unlikely provision two may eb added
but in the MAN, think it will find support in both
houses if there be not too much jealousy and envy
on the subject These ancient and immortal allies,
who are always eaged i'll warfare against all reforms

House OF REPRESENTATIVES,,
Eahruarv Ia ISl.


SIR In answer to your letter relating to sup
posed connection between you and the nullihcation
movement in South Carolina, must say that was
not aware of any having existed OF any cores
pondence interchange of opinion having transpired
between you and the members of the party to which
had the honor of belonging. Had heard that you
entertained the sentiments which have lately been as
cribed to YOU should have remembered themes
pecially they entirely dissonant with those
avowed and cherished by the leading men of South
Carolina AT that period, looked upon you as one
Of many distinguished friends, without the limits
of the State, who boldly undertook under the most
discouraging circumstances TO declare our doctrines
and to yindicate them from the aspersions and wful
misrepresentation of our opponents In your able
efforts to sustain us-and for which shall ever be
grateful-you maintained what we conceived to be
the true principles of the Constitution, and, far from
being directed to dissolution of the Union, we re-
garded them tending essentially to its preserva-
ton.
In my opinion, Mr. Johnston is not justified in say
ing that he the confidential organ of our party.
Very few of us knew any thing more of him than as
connected in some way with press in Columbia
am Gas belonging to the party looked to
him for the tone of their sentiments the direction
of their movements. The Columbia papers, at that
time, were under the control and supervision of seve-
raj gentlemen in Columbia, from whom alone Mr..
Johnston could have obtained the information rela-
tive to your views, if they had at all been commun
Gated to the party.
Deeming it unnecessary to assure You that have
never for moment questioned your ardent and de-
voted attachment to the Union under the Constitu-
ton, and that look upon all charges of the
turc against the nullifers as emanaing from the mis-
representations with which the newspapers of that
day teemed.
have the honor to be yours, respectfully,
THOS. D. SUMTER

In reply to your general questions, take great
pleasure in saying that we at one time desired and
expected you to be the editor of our Southern Re-
view and we awayslooked with pride to your inellec
tual endowments, great acquisition to our cause
and its principles; but never heard it even suggest
ed before, that you was disunionist"
We always considered State interpostion, in some
FORM as q necessary substitute, in a constitutional
confederacy, for the old appeal to force. In
test we supposed that where independent States had
entered into compact, and political questions arose,
involving the vital principles of the compact itself,
the States might interpose, and arrest what was
constitutional, until the tribunal which alone could
alter and amend the instrument should give final
Judgment upon the matters at issue
We always drew our doctrines from the Virg mia
resolutions Of 1885, and firmly believed them to be
conservative of the Constitution and of he Union.

confidential organ" Such preenson is ridiculous =
