Our contemporary of the Union comments at Some
length on the recent developments in the correspon-
dence OF the National Democratic Committee, which
DO not appear to be altogether Ito his liking. "If The
letters be genuine says the Union land there is no
reason TO suppose that they forgeres ti not de-
MED that they unfold speeuations the part of such
| individuals as Mr.. Donaldson, of Texas which are
entirely Inconsistent with the sentiment and feeling of
the Democratic party. But no one have the har
dhood to say that such specuationS import more than
the nconsderate and irresponsible opinions of indiyd-
uals, which be taken as the indication of
party action than should be isolated in gsmut
for finished composition of music. In saying this we
impeac not The right of any individual to his specula-
tons, nor do we mean any offence to any one whose
correspondence hasithus been exposed"
But the Union finds some consolation for the Disco

belongs to the letter OF Mr. B. F. Halleu the Demo-

We recur once to the official correspondence
published in the New York Herald and we beg of the
Union if it has any reason for suspecng the auhen
city OF these letters, to give lis for the
pcion. lfthey are indeed forgery, they throw into
the shade every other fabrication OF the kind of any
kind that fell under our observation As literary
curosities in that view, they would distance Chatter

We have doubt, Notwithstanding the insinuation of

gentlemen to whom they ascribed We shall
therefore continue the publication of them, far as
they are OF any public interest.
The first letter of the series which meets our eye is
one from Mr.. Britain, the editor of the Montgomery
(Aa.) Advertiser and Gazette. This paper is des-
crbed the home organ Of Colonel King. 1t will be
seen that Mr.. Britain denounces the Union party of
Alabama as the Wing party under name; and
the Union newspaper at Washington ally Of this
Wing party. He is as little ola Compromise man as
Mr.. Chase himself, and really see no very tormi-
dable obstacle to his Joining with the Senator from
Ohio in the support of Dsunion Presidential candi-
