MEssRs. FooTE AND BORIAND

To correct all misapprehenson that may have arisen
in the public mind from the many and more or less ar
roneous reports OF the recent misunderstanding and sub
sequent reconciliation between Senators Foote and Ror
land make the following brief statement on proDer
authority:
The meeting between those gentlemen was acciden-
tai and altogether friendly; and the conversation
menced in spirit and in terms entirely courteous and
kind AS the conversation progressed it grew earnest
and excited From the nature of the subject talked Of
language was used by of them which was taken as
offensive by the other, and blows ensued A moment
afterwards the heat of temper subsidized and each of the
gentlemen felt and expressed deep regret at The occur
renee; and when this represented to both bv com
friends they mutually and at once declared their
unchanged respect and kind regard for each Other and
upon meeting short time afterwards expressed thase
sentiments in person, and fully restoredto the re-
ations OF corda friendship which had before subssted
between them.-- Union.

A Valuable Document.

In the library of the New York City
Hall, there is a large quarto Volume, con-
tanning the Declaration Of Independence,
executed in the neatest style of penman-
ship appended to which is an interesting
manuscript (of which the following is a
true copy IN the handwriting of Charles
Carroll, of Carrollton. The book was
presented at the suggestion Of Rev. Ste
pben n. Rowan, the orator for the city
on the occasion Of the death of John Adams
and Thomas Jefferson, who recommend

gestion meeting the approval of the May

company with the Rev. Mr.. Gibson of
Baltimore, visited the patriot, who recelv-
ed the proposition with great warmth Of
feeling. When the book was afterwards
handed 10 John Q. Adams, who was at
that time President, for his signature, he
pointed out singular coincidence IN the
dates of the original signature Of Mr.. Car
roll TO the Declaration and his signature TO
his cateofapprobaton. He signedIhe

his certificate Of appreciation on the ID
