SARATOGA, July %, 1855.
Dear Sir: | did not receive till last evening
your note of the 18th instant addressed to me
at Baltimore, and covering your card to the
public, in which reference is made to con
versation between the Nuncio of the Pope at
Madrid and myself, about the appointment Of
Mr.. Campbell as member Of the present Cabi-
net at Washington. If | had sooner seen or
heard Of the contents Of your card, / should
have deemed it my duty to reply at once to
that portion of il which refers to myself and to
this matter.
You are mistaken as to the purport Of the
remarks made to me by the representative OF
the Pope at Madrid. 1t was not that he knew
beforehand that Mr.. Campbell would be ap-
pointed, and rs n member of the Catholic
Church, Or that he knew anything about il be-
fore the appointment was actually made. What
] have said aud what ! repeat, is that before
! had any certain news Of the formation Of the
Cabinet and.whIle its constitution was still in
doubt, and the subject Of conjecture in the pub
lie mind at Madrid, be told me that Mr.. Camp.
bell was appointed, and that he was Catho-
lie; which was the first information ! had of
either fact
did not at al suppose that he had any pre-
yious knowledge Of an intention to appoint this
gentleman to Office, or that he knew, or had
any reason to believe il was done, in pursu.
ance Of any bargain or intrigue to this effect,
on the part OF any persons whatsoever.
The inference | made was, that the appoint.
ment Of = Catholic TO this high Office being,
naturally cause Of much interest and salts
faction to the church Of that faith, especial
pains had been taken in some quarter, to com
municate the earliest intelligence of that fact
to the leading members Of the Catholic priest
hood.
Il Is proper 10 add that, having seen in a
Raleigh paper brief, and what appeared to be
an imperfect, report Of the speech recently
made IN Washington by the Hon. Kenneth
Rayner in which there occurred similar state.
meut though somewhat different in detail from
that contained in your card, and in which my
name was quoted as authority, / took the ear.
Hest opportunity, on the 9th instant, TO write
him note for the purpose Of correcting the
erroneous impressions which might SO readily
be made on the public mind, however unnten-
tional, from such reference to a casual con.
versation in social intercourse, without writ.

The western telegraph has not been in good
order for several days, and consequently we-have
few additional returns from this State. The latest
despatch received here says that Gentry, k n. and
Wing, for Governor, has gained $40, and that
the result is doubtful, but the Cincinnati Com
mercidt of Saturday has despatch purporting TO
have been received by the k ms Of that city, that
Gentry is, undoubtedly defeated BY Johnson,

will require severa days TO ascertain the result
