H STREET, WASHINGTON, Feb. 6, 1852.
SIR: AS you were present in the Senate Cham
Der, yesterday afternoon, at the time when an
unfortunate occurrence took place between DIR.
Borland and myself, have thought it right and
proper to communicate to you the circumstances
under which acted, and the motives by which l
was governed.
was detained for few moments to make
some explanations asked by Gov. Davis, intending
to walk down with you from the Capitol, and,
passing toward your desk from that of Gov.
Davis, / met Mr.. b., with whom l accidentally
entered into a conversation respecting the char
aoter of the medical statistics in the Maryland
work, with respect to which he seemed to me to
be clearly under Misrepresentation. My motive
was purely to correct what conceived the mis-
take on his part, as to the requirements of the
law and the reliability of the statistics, not doubt
ing that he would be pleased that should do So
/ commenced by imparting such facts as would
lead him to perceive that l was not the compiler
of those statistics, and could not feel personally
aggrieved by his remarks; and playfully alluded
to the effect they would have upon the compiler
whom represented as a man Of learning in his
profession, to which alone his scientific acquire
ments were not confined Senator b. remarked,
that he did "not wish dictation from any one. !"
/ replied that had not the remotest idea of die
tating, but, with kind and gentlemanly feelings
and manners, had ventured to communicate in
formation deemed desirable for him and that
while had only done so in such manner, he
should not have given such response, and been
unwilling to receive it. His reply was, "When
/ wish for your information / will ask for it."
To this my answer was, cit is not always the
case that those who need information are the
ones to solicit it." With this remark quietly
turned to walk out Of the aisle, when Mr.. b..
xut bnnfo of offan a., 10
monstration, dealt me the blow which for the
time disabled me, and now confines me to my
room.
According to my impression, these are the only
facts having bearing on the matter and if you
are aware of any being incorrectly stated, may
ask the favor that you will correct them.

servant, JOS. G. G. KENNEDY.

2. across improprieties of department in OBJ
uuding on the time and attention of Senators"
8. 'sGreat and gross annoyance" Of the Sena-
tor himself .M :,
q. The debating or writing certain newspaper
articles
With respect to the first charge, it is not neces-
sary to make word of explanation, when the
fact is so well known to you, Ito whom alone
am responsible for the manner in which | dis
charge my official duties and to all with whom
am associated, that devote, on an average
twelve hours daily, and often sixteen hours to the
duties of my Office
The second charge is equally unfounded. Pre-
vious to the affair alluded to, had not been six
times in the Senate Chamber during the present
session. have not been In committee room
have not visited Senators at their houses, ex-
cept in two instances in case of sickness. / do
not know one-third of the Senators by sight, and
not one-fourth, / presume, know me. never
knew where Mr.. Borland lodged, and, of course,
never visited him at his house
With reference to the third charge:
| denyit in toto The only time | recoect
having conversed with Mr.. Borland was when he
| came to me in the Senate Chamber to converse on
the Census printing, unasked and unsolicited--the
first and only intimation | ever had that he knew
me personally. All my conferences previous to
the present session were confined to the Commit
tee on the Census, of which Mr.. b. was not q
| member.
With respect to the fourth charge, l reply, that
I never wrote one word concerning, and never
saw the manuscript of one word relating to the
affair, which appeared in print, and never die
tated one line to anybody.
Mr.. Towers does not state one fact, and am
not accountable for his impressions"
The account given of the occurrence in his
Statement" is no more correct than the charges
above alluded to. The statement made by me to
Mr.. Pearce, of which send you copy, is true.
The circumstances under which it WAS written,
and the objects which are specified in the body
thereof, preclude the idea of its being fabrica-
ton. The only addition necessary to make it a
complete account Of the affair would be to state,
that he was by force restrained from persistng in
the assault, and carrying out his declared deter
mination Of cutting my throat.
So far as the head of the department is con-
cerned, the above is all deem necessary to COM
municate with respect to the voluminous letters
and statements, from the truth Of which totally

DEAR SIR: In reply to your inquiry state
that on the evening succeeding the day of the
difficulty between yourself and Mr.. Borland, |
heard a conversation partly sustained by gen
tleman addressed as Mr.. Towers, and who stated
that he had witnessed that rencontre. Mr.. T.
stated distinctly, understood it, that the first
indignity was offered by Mr.. Borland, and that
he then expected you TO strike him, (Borland, rs
he (Towers) would have done under similar cir
cumstances; and, also, that he was much sur
prised you did not, although he afterwards
thought you had acted the wiser part. He further
stated that he thought your department upon
that occasion gentlemanly, and your language
mild and courteous. Several others were present
upon the occasion of the conversation alluded to.
