This is the substance Of what was said.
Very respectfully,
'.. RALEIGH, Sept. 8, 1855
Hon. X. RAYNER-DEAR Sir My note to you
of Sept 2nd, written directly the receipt of
your letter of enquiry, and without much time for
reflection have since succeeded in recalling more
distinctly the conversation between Mr.. B. and my
self My former statement is correct as far as it
goes l am not mistaken about the impression made
on my mind as to the object of Mr.. B., and remem-
Der that replied with some feeling to the insinua-
ton which thought was intended. But now also
recolect that Mr.. B. went on to say had miscon-
ceived his purpose, which to show the greatin-
terest taken in affairs by the Catholic Church
or Clergy abroad.
This explanation had escaped my memory, pro-
badly from the fact that it did not likely to al
ter the effect of the statement those disposed to
entertain it. unaccompanied by the further explat-
ton of the means by which the Nuncio obtained his
information. l desire to make this correction in
justice to all parties.
Very respectfully e.f -.
-. G. E. B. SINGELTARY.
The above is from the Register.
Gen. Singeltary's letter to Mr.. Rayner bears date
September 9Th, and yet it is not published until the
Sd of October! And it is given, it seems, only in
pursuance of wish expressed by Gen. S. to that
effect" Why the letter itself is clear on that point
for Gen. S. distinctly says Il desire to make this
correction in justice to all parties" And how could
the correction be made withou. publishing his letter?
Daniel OConnell once said, "lct Englishmen rule
Observation-Disclosures, France-Scotchmen, Scot
land-and in the name of God let Irishmen rule Ire
land" The "head and front of our offending" is,
that we claim, also, that it is right "Americans
should rule America"

Certainly-unquestionably ly-all right!-who dis
puted that? The President all the members of the
Cabinet, all the foreign Ministers but two three
all the Governors of the States, and ninety out
of every one hundred members of Congress and of
the State Legislatures natres 6orn This is there
sult be it remembered of Democratic principles and
usages,-for the general government and the gov

And let North-C -Carolnians rule North Carolina as
they may choose to rule it. Let US have no secret
societies, originating in abolition States, to control
and rule US; and let every citizen be free to vote
as he pleases. Do not bind the natve.born citizen
with horrid oaths to vote for certain men, but leave
his judgment and his conscience free; and if, hav
ing been deceived, and thus bound, he should exer
else freeman's privilege by voting for the man of
endeavor to destroy his good name and injure him
in his business
" Americans should rule America!" Where are
the Cherokees the Choctaws, the Creeks, the Sioux,
and the other red skins? Are they not, too Ameri-
cans? Are they not natives? If not who are? Is
not naturalized citizen an American? Unques-
tionably. A man child is born in Ireland or Ger

The Kinston Advocate, by Walter Dunn, says the
opposition to the Know Nothing party in this State
is influenced by an " utter and entire spirit of dem
agog1ism." Of course the Kinston Advocate, false
| ly called American Advocate, is the farest and
| most patriotic paper that ever was. If ever Barnum
| should offer premium for political honesty, the
Editor of the Kinston Advocate will walk right ahead
of the New York politicians, and take it. Ned
Buntlinc the founder of the K. N concern is toer-
ably honest-but he could not begin to compete with
! our contemporary of the Advocate for premium of
the kind referred to. .... s.
