and the "ekite of the distinguished Dem
ocrats of Richmond" endorsed his emf
nent qualifications for the chair, and
hailed him as the :" favorte candidate of
the republican party"
We have already alluded to the high
position occupied by Mr.. BROWN in the
Democratic party, and his intimate asso-
citation with Mr. FooTE and Mr.. BURKE
in an honorable and responsible trust com
mitted to those gentlemen by the Balti-
more convention. In this connexon We
may as we'll reproduce the joint circular
issued by those gentlemen during the last
Presidential canvass. Our readers will
note what it says on the subject of 'ialse
issues in different sections" and of ''fra-
ternizing with the Abolitionists. From
the morallzing and eminently ingenious
tone of this composition, we should sup
pose that it was from Mr.. BRowN's own
pen, were it not that it equally bears the
impress of Mr.. BURKE's well-known sim
cerity and candor. Whether it is from
the pen of Mr.. BURKE or Mr.. BRowN,
however, it will be read with equal inter
est at this time. We annex the letter:

A correspondent Of the New York Journal Of
Commerce, writing from Havana ON the sth instant
furnishes the following information of a bloody
afiray of drunken negroes in that city-the general
peace and order of which, as we'll as the rigid JUS
tcc of former governor of the island, are highly
commended by the writer:
"Qutc a bloody ARRAY occurred in the streets a
lew nights SINCE much to the surprise of the good
people of this usually quiet city, which, since the
days OF Tacon, (lS34-'S,) has been noted for the
good order and tranquility prevailing in its streets
and public places. IL appears that some free ne
groes had been INDUCED in some sort of feast in the
'Barrio de Irsu Maria = and when heated with
liquor, they sailed out, or a part of them, with
knives in their hands, and striking 10 the right and
left in their drunken fury, killed two and wounded
i've white men and of the latter, | understand
some have since died in the hospital. | have not
the slightest idea that this ARRAY had any political
bearing, nor that il was in any way premeditated;
and although 1t appears that the insane ire of
these wretches was directed solely against the
whites, nothing has transpired TO Justify the idea
that II was any thing more than mere cbul-
ton, through the excitement Of intoxication, of
feelings of luminosity, while i'm their rational mo-
mcnts fear and good discipline had kept within
proper bounds. The murderers will have a fair
and speedy trial, by military commission, and
the punishment of those convicted will be and
prompt street murder has not to my knowledge
occurred here for fifteen years past. You are
aware doubt, of the security Of the laws against
concealed weapons. Ia 1896, ] witnessed the
Pasco the assault with asword cane, Of one young
man upon another, whom he cut in the check
causing him TO bleed freely, but nothing more
Within five days the one who committed the as
sault was tried, and condemned 10 work three years
IN chains. Numerous relations Of his family (no:
billty among them) represented TO the government
the severity of the punishment in proportion TO the
offence, against person who had grossly insulted
him But, said the General, he tried ex
clusvcly on that charge; his chief offence
rying concealed weapons, contrary to my express
edicts, aggravated by the use he made of them; he
must serve ont his timer But Tacon was always
more severe with the higher than the lower classes
when they fell under criminal jurisdiction"

to the body and to them TO make public announce
ment in relation thereto. From the correspond
ence which promptly ensued between those gentle
men, il was ascertained that, in applying To Mr..
MEADE the charge of being disunlonist, Mr.. DuER
meant 10 state nothing matter OF personal know
ledge, nor TO impue any thing opprobrious or per-
sonally offensive, but merely 10 express an infer
ence which he had drawn from speech lately de-
lyered by Mr. MEADE to his political sentiments;
that the reply of Mr.. MEADE was not intended 10
impute to Mr. DuER want of veracity, but only
as denial, in most emphatic form, of the fact
charged; and that the retort of Mr.. DUER being in
duced by misconception, has been by him regret
ted and withdrawn. The result has been adj Just
ment on terms honorable and satisfactory TO both
gentlemen, and restoration Of their personal rea
tons.

The statement was received by the House with
applause.
Mr.. SAVAGE offered the following resolution:
ReSolUed, That if the House fail to elect Speaker
during the present day il will, upon its meeting on
to- morrow apply 10 its proceeding as far prac-
tcable, the principles embodied in the twelfth ar
ticle of the amendment to the Constitution of the
United States, prescribing the mode of clecting a
President and Vice President; that is to say The
House will, upon the calling of the roll, cast its

WASHINGTON CITY, June "a, lSiS.
| SIR: The undersigned designated by the
National Democratic Committee at the Baltimore
Convention to Executive Committee at
Washington, to aid, by such means may be
within their reach, the efforts of their friends in
other parts of the Union, in the pending Presiden-
tial canvass.
From information already received in this city,
is certain that the leaders of the Federal or Wing
party will resort to extensive system of msrcp-
resentation adapted in its details to every section
Of the Union, which they will render more effective
and mischevous by thorough organization. To
| counteract these designs and movements, it is in
| cumbent upon the Democratic party to be equally
as we'll organized, active, vigilant, and energetic.
Our friends should at once make thorough or.
ganization in every State county, and district in
the Union. 1t should be SO complete and perfect
us to reach every individual member Of the party.
This being done, measures should at once be ia
ken to supply all voters with documents contain
ing important information upon subjects, which
will be involved in the present canvass Valuable
compilations will be made, setting forth the true
issues of the contest, and others WILL from time to
time, be prepared as the progresses to re-
flute the misrepresentation and sophistries of our
opponents and sustain the principles and policy of
the Democratic party.
These compilations will be printed and furnished
at prices sufficient to the cost, (say at the
rate of fifty cents per hundred copies, for any
one OF said tracts not exceeding eight pages and
forwarded, hanked and directed, to any part of
the Union.
We would, therefore, respectfully suggest the
expediency of forming clubs, for the purpose of
disseminating political intelligence among the peo-
pie. Money intended for this object should be
transmitted, postpaid, to Major b. b. French,
treasurer of this city, which shall be faithfully APP
piled according TO directions.
The Wings have nominated their candidates
without the avowal of any principles it becomes
important to detect and expose false issues intended
To operate on different sections of the Union We
should therefore, be glad to be specially informed
of the grounds on which our opponents wage the
contest in every part of the country. Should the
Wings at the North fraternze with the Aboltionists
the fact should be exposed at the South to prevent
them representing TO the people that they are the
only safeguards of her peculiar interest. Letters
and papers showing the progress of the canvass,
and exposing the of the Wings in different
sections of the Union, should be directed to Henry
s. Foote, at Washington, of the undersigned,
Of persons 10 whom documents should be sent
Relying ON your faithful cooperation in our com
mon cause, VIC have the honor TO be, very respect
fully, your obcdicnt servants,
