/ BALTIMORE, Oct. %, 1855.
/ we are OF The opinion that at the OPEN
ing OF the correspondence between Mes.
RS F'u kner and Bo:eIer, therp..existed no
sufficient cause for personally difficulty
II lie facts out OF which il has grown. had
oeeh properly understood, or properly cx-
planned.
1t IS then TO the correspondence itself,
ana the spirit III which it was conducted.
tilat we arc to trace the difficulty now ex-
lstIhs between them. Had that cores.
pondence taken place at some later period
we have no doubt, from the courtesy
which had characterized the previous con-
duet OF both these gentlemen toward each
other, tha: the affair would have been
easily aud SATISFACTORY! adjusted. But
tne occurrence OF that CORES pondeHce im.,
medla'ely alter an exciting political COP
test together with the highly inflamed
condition 81 partizan freing IN the Dig
triet, caused II to be conducted with an
asperliy and tartness which became per-
sonaily offensive, aud led to demand for
host II meeting.
Under this view OF the rase we are of
the opinion that The present difficulty be.
t"een them admits OF a satisfactory and,
honorable adjustment. This we propose
to accomplish 81 a withdrawal OF the
t whole correspondence, embracing the let.
