The Washington Union of yesterday contains
publication by Mr. Brooks of the correspondence
between the parties. Acting on the advice of his
friend, Gen. Lane, Mr.. Brooks very properly refused
to meet Mr.. Burlingamc in Canada 4" a distance of
near seven hundred miles by the mail route-a route
running through the enemy's country, and through
which no man knows better than Mr.. Burngame
that (Brooks) could not pass without running the
gauntlet of mobs and assassins, prisons and pcni-
tentaries, bailiffs and constables. He knew that
(Brooks) could never get to Canada, and that were
l to do so and he were to fall, that would never
get back. He might as well have designated Bos-
ton Common" Mr.. Brooks says in conclusion I"
have no further demands upon him; but should he
be screwed up to the point of aking demands up
on me, will yet treat him as gentleman, and meet
him at any convenient and accessible point upon
equal terms" r"y7,sF.4fT .ssA@s
There can be but conclusion as to this affair.
Mr.. Brooks has, in every point of view, the decided
advantage. The Massach usetts gasconader has dis
played SO evident a want of moral and physical
courage, Ms almost to- excite pity. After the mag
niloquent display made upon the occasion Of his re-

assured that the people were the grati6ed be-

The Mexican Preamble.

We call attention to a communication in this pa.
per headed Mexican Preamble" followed by some
extracts from a speech delivered by that gallant
and sterling, Democrat, Sidney Smith, Esq, Of
Orange County. 1t will be seen that John A. Gil.
mer was at that time more Of Mexican than Amer.
lean. While Tom Corwin, an abolitionist of the
deepest dye, and afterwards member of Mr. Fill.
more's cabin was praying that the Mexicans might
welcome our brave soldiers with bloody hands to
hosp'table graves" John A. Gilmer, in the Senate
Of North Carolina, was unwilling to vote suppesto
those soldiers, unless coupled with resolution de-
cIaring they were engaged in an unholy and unrght
eous cause. If he could only get them denounced
as parcel of frecbooters, engaged in bad cause
then he was willing to pay them for their work
This one fact is sufficient to show Mr. Gilmers anti
Americanism, and ought to damn him, politically,
forever. 1t is evident he has more partyism than
patriotism, and that to vent little party spleen be
was willing to vote, and did VOTE that bis country
was disgraced-that it was guilty of a dshonoraOs
act. Let the people of the State-the true Amer
cans-crush such a politician, and place upon hn
the mark of condemnation
