WAsHIHGToN CRY, july 22. 1856.

WAsnIScToS CRY, July 22, 1856.
DEAR SIR: have deemed it proper and
just to make the following statement.
ut your request, called yesterday at
near three o'clock, as your friend, upon
Hon. Mr.. Burlinganc-that being the first
opportunity had Of meeting him and of
delivering vour note. After he had read
il, Informed him that was requested by
YOU to urge that meeting should take
place at the earliest practicable moment,
suggested that afternoon or this morning at
four o'clock, and hoped that it would suit
his convenience.
| further stated that you had supposed
that all differences between you and him.
self had been adjusted that he (Mr. Bur
lingaInc) had rcopcncd the matter, as you
supposed for a personal difficulty, and that
you were anxious to have it ended without
delay. He replied, "That is tho feeling of
n gallant man, and Brooks is bra, 1an."
That he would have to look out frienu, and
had none in his mind at that time, and per-
haps he could not be ready for meeting at
as carly an hour as you requested. I also
impressed upon him the necessity Of entire
secrecy save with his friend and further
requested that he or his friend would COM
,municate with ME at my seat while the
House was in session, or at my room after
its adjournment; and as he had the right
of selecting the place for the meeting, and
such other arrangements as arc usual upon
such occasions, that he would have the
kindness to let me know, ut rs early all
hour AS was convenient, when and where
and what it would be. Last evening, about
eleven o'clock, the enclosed note from Mr..
Burlingamc was placed i'll my hand by tho
Hon. l.. ID. Campbell. The place Of meet
ing designated in said note is SO far distant,
and would subject YOU to so many hazards
Of arrest, and also to a jurisdiction without
the limits Of tho United States, that, as
your friend, advise You, without hcsita-
ton, to take no further notice Of the matter.
am, sir. very respectfully,
Your obedicnt servant,

er Of the tathers ofthe republic did We also be-
lieye in the exposition of the sovereignty of
these States as laid down by the writers Of the
Federalist and in the public writings of the
above named men. We believe that the people
of the States have exclusive jurisdiction over
their own Institutions and no other State has a
right to say yea or yin the matter; but we
do not believe with the modern lights who teach
that one State has right to nuIlify either gen
eral law or action Of the Federal people under
lheconstitution. Docs our neighboe understand
our position now
The concluding paragraph looks TO us very
much like a bid for patronage; VIC trust We are
mistaken, as We are unwilling TO form such an
opinion Of our neighbor.
Fourthly and lastly:
Possibly an explanation from tho Iutclligen-
Ger may set itself plainly before the people. 1t

definition of independent and an explanation
of what the editors regard as the sentiments OF

bors, and let it be seen whom you will serve"
We are glad to see that our neighbor is still
open to conviction, and if he is candid we think
whatwc have said is pretty near enough. We
do mean as far as in us lies to publish an indie
pendent, liberal paper, and NC think the charac-
ter of our Communications thus far shows that VIC
mean that it shall be the medium through which
all our citizens can communicate their views

ton, and let our readers determine on the value.
Such articles as we extract we do so always with
reference to the general interest, and not of
one man or set of men. And in no wise else
