Two MEASUREMENTS Conference.-The u
nion some time since made heavy charges against
the Secretary OfStae, relative 10 certain instructions
which hew supposed to have sent 10 Mr.. Bancroft
1t is also stated that MIR Clayton had been, and was
at present, part owner of the Philadelphia North
American. Both these charges were denied By the
Republic. Thereupon the following sparring took
place between the two papers:
From the Union ofhc 11M july.
VIZ ASK FOR INFoRMATroN.-In the personal
organ of Gen. Taylor the Republic, OF Monday, The
editors, in commenting upon our remarks in relation
to the supposed instructions given TO Mr.. Bancroft
concerning the navigation law says:
"Now it so happens. we have ascertained that
no instructions from Mr.. Clayton TO Mr. Bancroft
ON the subject Of or legislation respecting The mar
igation lncS hare euer been giUen Not a word
was ever written by the present Secretary of State
TO the redoubable Mr.. Bancroft on that subject"
We now ask the editors Of the Republic whether
they or either Of them, hare been authorized by
the Secretary Of State or any other person connec
ted with the government, to make the statement
which we have copied above And ifso from what
officer or person have they derived the information
upon which they venture to make such stale
ment2
We ask, further, if they were authorized by the
Secretary of State 10 say tina; he is not part
owner of the North American and u. S. Gazette
newspaper Also, if he has not been part owner
Of that establishment, and when he parted with his
interest? We expect direct and categorical an
swer5 to the questions which we have Propounded.
Response Of The Republic:
We take leave to answer the above extract from
Yesterdays Union" insulting as ii is, by the fol
lowing. 'drect and categorical answers"
/. We have inquired Of the Secretary Of State
himself, and ascerained from hHa that she has
never given Mr. Bancroft any instruction whatever
on the subject Of our legislation respecting the nav
igation laws"
e. We have also taken the liberty to inquire Of
him on the other topic Of abuse in the Union. He
has answered us at once, that she is not now, and
never was, part owner Of the North American and
u. s. Gazette, or Of any other newspaper" The
whole story. go often reiterated on this subject, o.
ricinaed in his having years ago generously and
nobfy hefriended gentleman who owns one-thlrd
Of the North American--but Mr.. Clayton has never
had the slightest interest in the paper, nor any Sc
cw-ity upon any interest IN d!

QUEER CMcULATIoN.--The editor Of the Yam

alt would be curious sight TO see all the babies

PLArroRM-''It is well understood. )" saws a
prominent Barnburning journal in New York, .'that
II reunion s effected at Rome, N Y, it must be
based upon the the immutable principles OF the H.
his well known principles need be attempted. The
masses demand it, and they must not be disnppoiu
ted"
II must be confessed that this is Happy mode OF
uniting the two sections of the dsmembered party in
N York. How simple! Nothing is required but
10 adop, ''the mmutable principles OF the ilustr-
Gus Jefferson" and TO stand on his platform. We
take 1t for granted the HunkeIs will accept these
conditions Internationally. The immuta6le prin.
ciples Of the ilusrious Jefferson, the gun boat sys-
tenn incllisive
1t would be interesting and edifying to witness
the scene characterization which the contention at
Rome is likely to present. 1t may be done without
danger--for the Rome where the convention is as
sembed is not the Rome which the French are
bombarding, although il is near Utica where Cato
did not die, and not very far from Palmyra where
Zenoba never reigned, and within a reasonable dis
| lance Of Syracuse where there was never an Arch-
medes.--For aught we know there may be Bah
ylon in the neighborhood and Jerusalem hard by.
But the process of that is the thing
The Barnburners may be expected to claim pre- EN-
inence in the Convention for they have carried the
sway thus far, and they not the men TO slacken
the curb spare the LASH One may imagine the
lnquisitor General, say Mr.. John Van Buren,,
interroga,ng each surly Hunker as he comes to ask
admt,ance into the political Sanhedrim, "What
is your platform % ''rhe mmu;able principles of
the illustrious Jefferson" "Pass." The thing is
cas- easy slying.'
| We hays taken il for granted ever since the dis
rupon of the party in New York, that the doctrines
OF the Barnburners would ultimately prevail over
the conservatism of the other wing but il was not
so apparent that cordial reconciliation would take
place between the factions. The Hunker, loysg &C.
customed 10 rule. and TO prescribe formulas of faith
and to construct platforms, could il-endure to be
snnbbed into recantaiion of his own in(albility
still less olerabe would it be to submit to the NOR
tlficatoh, having been preacher of doctrine him
self, OF sitting upon the pulpit steps and saying a
men to other peoples preaching. But he is now
to be saved this humiliation and perhaps the
union of the sections may be complete. Ifnot COM
pete, they may be able at any rate move togeth-
er like the Siamosc twins, or like two humps on
one camel illustrating, in either aspect, better
than anything in Lindley Murry, the nature and
properties of a distinctive conjunction. Such is
the virtue that a5ides in the immutable PRINCIPLES
OF the illustrous Jelferson''-such the capacious
amplitude of Ibis platform" Rome has not seen
the end Of her honors yet-Bah. .Apaer.
