The following is the letter of Hon. KENNETH
RAYNRR, the publication of which, at Wash
ington, was noticed in our telegraphic de-
spatches some days since:
sRALEIGH, n. c., July l9, 1855.
any DEAR SIR 81 have received yours OF the
10th inst in which you refer TO the denial by the
Union newspaper, of the truth of the statement
first spoken of by me in my speech at Washing
ION, and afterwards by you in your Grafton of the
4th) of Hon. Daniel N. BsrriDger our late Minister
to Spain.
"Mr. Barringer first mentioned this matter to me
last winter in Raleigh. had since taken occasion
TO alude 10 it several times, in delivering popular
addresses. About four weeks since, on my return
from Philadelphia, met Mr.. Barringerin Baltimore,
and in the course of conversation with him, men,
toned the fact that l had taken occasion to
speak publicly of what he had said to me about
the Popes Nuncio at Madrid, having stated to him,
before he (Mr b. had heard, and before the news
of the same had reached Madrid, of the formation
of Mr.. Pierce's cabinet, that he (the said Nuncio)
could tell him one man that would be in the cabi-
net, to wit: Mr.. Campbell of Pennsylvania, men,
Der Of the Roman Catholic Church.
"This was as had received the statement from
Mr. Barringer in the first instance, and it was thus
that had spoken of il. / asked Mr.. Barringer, If
had represented him correctly, for that should
probably speak of it again. and wished to be sure
that might give the statement correctly. Mr.. B.
replied that had stated the matter correctly, and
then went to relate the occasion and incidents of
this remark to him by the Pope's Nuncio.
"a few days since, received letter from Bar
ringer dated Niagara Falls, July 9th, 1855, in which
after abiding to the fact that he had lately seen
published synopsis of my speech in Washington
in which was reported as having mentioned the
matter in terms somewhat variant from those in
which he stated il to me, and then he (Nr. Bar
ringer) goes to reiterates what be had twice be-
fore stated to me.
81 will quote to you Uer6atim the language used
by him, in an extract from this letter. just received
TO wit@
"Before Ihud any authentic and certain ncsOs of
the formation othe Cabinet, and uhile IL 0as still
subject of conjecture at tie Court of Madrid he (he
Popes Nu'acio told me that Judge Campbell, of Penn
,ohich the first information I hadeither of his
dppcintmentO or of his religion.
This is the statement, as had given it, when
abiding to it in public; although it might have
been slightly varied in the newspaper reports: and
this think, establishes the charge, lopg since made
and believed by thousands, that there was d,s ua-
d.rStdnding, to call it by worse name, that the
Roman Catholic vote should be given to Mr. Pierce
and that he, in turn should give. to that Church
a seat in his Cabinet as well as many other high
positions.
"You at are aberty to make any use you please of
this letter, in vindcation of yourself against the
charge of falsehood by the Union newspaper mas
much as you based your statement on my authori-
ty.
''Yours, very truly,
'K. RAYNER.
