such but insists that it has ever maintained IT, vi
course we stand corrected until find time to run
through file of The Pos, while it was edited in good
part by William Leggett. Cannot some friend who
remembers the articles to which we aude help us to
pertinent citations If William Leggets did not
write editorials denying to authors any rghtful prop
erty in or control over the republication OF their
works. then indeed are we grieyously mistaken. lt
s possible that they appeared in The Piaindeaer or
elsewhere than in The Post; and i. is also possible
that the present conductors of The Pos may be mis-
taken. But we admit their right to be deemed cor

The Post also denies that Edward Livingston wrote
the famous Proclamation against the South Carolloa
Nulufers issued in 1928 by Gen. jackson. ins sting
that jackson originally wrote it aud Livingston mere
" edited it. We will not dispute with Tho Post on
this point and that paper should be willing to con
cede that the general understanding accords with our

charged with the duty of negotiating Treaty Of

which Treaty shall secure to our Government port

station in the West Indies Behind this is doubtless
concealed that darling project OF the Slavery Propa-
