THE BROOKS AND BURLINGAME
AFFAIR

1t would seem from the subjoined letter
from General Lane, to Mr.. Lewis D. Camp
bell, that the difficulty between MeSsrs.
Brooks and Burlingame may not be settled.
Mr.. c. replies by stating that he has no fur
Their connection with the matter:
Gen. Lane to Mr.. Campbell.
WASHINGTON, July 80, 1856.
DEAR SIR Col. Brooks returned to
this place last night. l have just had my
first interview with him since the appear
ance of your and Mr.. Burlingame's card.
You say that Mr.. Burlingame was willing
to meet Col. Brooks at any other place than
Canada to adjust their differences. You
did not tell me SO, although told you that
Canada a0dS announcement. On the contra
ry, you left me under the impression that
Mr. Burlingame would not meet Colonel
Brooks at any other place than Canada
| so informed Col. Brooks, and advised him
to give the matter no further notice. mas
much, however, as you now say that Mr..
Burlingame was willing to meet Col. Brooks
at another place, l am authorized and re-
quested by Col. Brooks to say that he ex-
poets Mr.. Burlingame to designate some
other place that is convenient and accepta-
bic to both parties, and awaits his answer
to this suggestion.
In behalf of my friend, I am authorized
to name any place of meeting within ten
miles of Washington, or accept any place
that either you or your friend may name
within one hundred miles.
Secresy and despatch are requested and
desirable. Very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
JOSEPH LANE.

lst. ReSoLued, That in the opinion of the
Stockholders, the direct and independent
route crossing the Cape Fear River at or
near Walkers Ferry, is by far the most de-
sirable for the interests of the company and
should be adopted: Provided that the Board
of Directors are clearly of the opinion, that
the means of the company will justify it,
even by leaving the first section to be con-
pleted, and in operation from the west bank
of the Cape Fear River to Charlotte and in
the event that the Walker Ferry route is
adopted, the Board of Directors are hereby
authorized to build the same upon the fol-
lowing terms and conditions.
1st. They may construct said road by
sections as described in their report to the
Stockholders; first constructing the second
section from the west bank of the Cape
Fear River to the Pee Dee River, and the
third section from the Pee Dec River TO
Charlotte, AS soon as in their opinion the
means of the company will warrant.
I'd. They shall enter into contract with
the Corporate Authorities of the town of
Wilmington, binding the Company to build
and equip at their own expense, the first
section of the road from the west bank of
the Cape Fear into the town of Whining
ton on the east side of the river at the ear
Hest possible time its finances will justify it.
The town authorities authorizing their sub
scription of 100000 to be used in building
the second section of the road, and agree
ing to give reasonable aid towards the con-
struction of the third section, if the same
shall be required.
Sd. They shall provide suitable steam
boats for the conveyance of passengers and
freight free of charge to and from con-
venient Depot on the east side of the river
within the town of Wilmington to the road
On the west side Of the river.
4. Resolved, That in the event the Board
of Directors find that the route indicated
in the first resolution cannot be adopted for
want of the requisite means, they are here
by authorized to adopt the connection with
The Wilmington & Manchester Rail Road
at or near Whitesville, provided that such
terms can be made with said Company as
in their judgment will be consistent with
the interests of this Company.

ANOTHER K N. FALSEHooD Elk
POSED

The Know Nothing presses tsays the Ra
leigh Standard) has been industriously en-
gagged in circulating the report that eau
Gus of Democrats was recently held in
Washington City, at WHICH it was proposed
to withdraw Mr.. Buchanan from the contest
for the Presidency. Mr.. Gilmer, we learn,
has also condescended to use this rumor on
the stump. we knew, from the first that
it was base falsehood. started for effect
1t was no doubt originated by some miser-
able creature in the employment of the
Black Republican Know Nothings; and it
has been eagerly caught up and used by
their brother Know Nothings of the South.
The following letter, signed by Asa
Briggs, David S. Reid, Burton Craige,

To the Editors Of the Standard:
GENTLEMEN We find in the Salisbury
Herald of the 30th of July, the following:
Here follows an article containing the ri
diculous statement, with comments treating
it as though the editors believed it.)
We understand like report has been in
dustriously circulated in other papers,
There Is no foundation for such state
ment. No such caucus was held. Nor was
any such proposition suggested, debated,
or considered, at any time, at any meeting
of the Democratic members Of Congress-
We deem it our duty to give this explicit
denial to the report, and feel gratifed in
adding that we have no reason to doubt of
the election of Buchanan and Breckenridge
by decisive majorities.
We are, very respectfully, &c.

From the Charleston Mercury.
FREMONT NO SLAvEHOLDER.

MEssRs. EDITORS: Among the many
reasons assigned by the biographers and eu
logists of the Black Republican candidate
for the Presidency,Ehy he should be support
ed by the enemies of the South, is, that al
though he is a native of q slaveholding
State, he discountenanced slavery. and
would never hold a slave. Now, gentlemen,
| ask the use of your columns to strip this
daw of his borrowed plumes. The follow
ing copy of record in the Clerks Office OF
this District, will dispose of any mystery
as to his reasons for not being slavehold-
er. Comparatively few gentlemen in the
South owning FIVE shirts, and these not paid
for, are the proprietors of slaves.
Asexplanatory of the following document,
it ma, be remarked. that both the suits were
for taiIor's bills, which remain unpaid to
