Relenting fool, and shallow, changing
This interesting couple parted, it will
be seen, with the promise OF soon entering
into correspondence; SO also did Brown
and WILMoT; and this brings US from the
oral accounts Of the negotiation which we
have above given, to the written letters,
which present, of course, the substantial
and essential terms of the arrangement.
How materially it differs from the four
statements above published, our readers
can see for themselves.

tory to yourself and your friends. am repre-

Such is the position of the ''favorite
candidate Of the Republican party'' for
the Speakership. Such is the man for
whose eminent qualifications for the Chair
the Union so emphatically vouched The
public are to Judge, in view of his known
connexion with the editors of that journal,
whether or not they were parties to his
operations. When we consider his init
mate associations with Mr.. BURKE on the
Executive Democratic Committee, and the
"free conversation which he held with
the senior editor-the particulars of which
are kept secret-we apprehend that no re-
fleeing man will fail to regard those indi-
viduals as deeply implicated in the Free
Soil plot, which exploded to such signal dis
comfture of the Democratic party. Their
implication is important only in view of the
relation which they claim to the party as
its "sole organ" We beg not TO be un-
derstood as intimating that their familiarity
with Mr.. BRowN is a dishonor TO them );
it is rather Mr.. Brown who suffers from
the association.
