from SECRETARY Marcy announcing to Mr.. Per

tart repll thereto; together with an answer t
. the stric. lres of the Washington Union upor
| his forn14r letter, wherein He sought to repe
the CHARGES broughtagainst him by Mr. Soule
/ of having enacted the part Of a secret spy 70,
secretary Marcy. Mr.. Perry is very severe
in his refIarks, and handles his own cause with
much ability, and proves himself the hero Of all
the good|that was achieved by the American
mission tb Madrid. The Intelligencer thinks
that his disclosures not only shed additional
light ontl'e farcical Ostend conference, but on
the recent ,yif(, ND ,r<,
to conirrf some Of the previous disclosures as to
the realcSsposition of Spain towards the United
States. and the course pursued by Mr., 'Soule.
MFR. Perry makes it appear that by his own
zeal, afteg the withdrawal of Mr.. Soule, he sue
cecded mi obtaiEing of the Spanish government
the concession of every claim and PREPARATION
which Mr4 Sou|e had been instructed to press
upon the attention of that government By
this it woEld seem evident that instead of re-
presenting the government of the United States
at the Spanish court and carrying out the in
structions ff the president, Mr.. Soule represent
ed Ainaself ionlF, and occupied his time and tai
ents in cpncocting and maturing visionary
schemes Of Ills own creating, kicking up broils,
and fighting daelb on account of indignities Of
fered to his family. He will ofc course again an
swer Mr.. Ferry, and there will be no end to the
sarcasm with which he will lash his ex- secreta-
~ Of Jon, Mr. Marcy, and the administra-
ton and III vacillatng policy. We thipk the /
easiest meslod by which the quarrel can be
adjusted il for tile parties to call for 'pistols Q

We have on various occasions demonstrated

o the nominations of Messrs. Davidson and :,
Taylor for congress by ant-American conven- :,
ions. Both Of which gentlemen have been for :.
ears distinguished for their hostility and anti !,
athy towards foreigners. AS further proof of -
