has been made To carry slavery into
The territory at the at the point of

Secure 10 emigranls, from what
ever part OF the Union they come,
The night guaranteed by the constilu-

have been requested 10y several
gentlemen friendly TO the election of
Col. J. G. Fremont to the Presiden-
cy Of the Onion, to state how far the
account given in that article of the
unfortunate difficulty between Col.
Fremont and myself is true.
| do, therefore, declale that SO Ear
as the cause of our misunderstanding
is concerned, The difficulty referred
TO is sufficiently accurate; but it is
not true that Col Fremont pronoun-
ccd on the floor of the Senate any,
thing which had fallen from me in
the course of the debate 10 be false.
And although il is true that he was
dissatisfied with what | had said in
opposition TO his bill for the settle
ment of land titles in California, and
requested specia personal interview
with me on the subject, in the pro-
gress of which he used language
which | deemed il my duty TO resent,
and did resent, yet i, is not true that
Col. Fremont inflicted on that occa-
sion the least personal indignily on
me. The only blow struck was one
for which ] am alone responsible .
for before he had time TO return the
blow received by himself, Senators
Mangum aud Clarke interviewed and
separated US.
Col. Frcmonts note to me after
wards, was rather an equivocal char
acter. His friend, the present Gov
ernor Of New Jersey, who was the
bearer OF II, assured me that it was
not designed as a challenge to the
field of honor; but supposing thai it
was at least possible that Mr.. Price
was in error on his part, wrote TO
Col. Fremont, that if my note of
explanation did not prove satisfacto-
~, should go wi,hou, delay to the
City of Baltimore, and send him nv
acceptance from thence. AT this
stage of the affair, friends interposed,
and the difficulty was settled, as |
have always considered, 10 a manner
cred'iable 10 both parties.
! cannot close without the express
sion OF my regret that any a,,empt
should be made, 10 connection with
thrs transaction, TO hold Col. Fremon,
responsible for conduct calculated 10
infringe upon the freedom of debate
IN the United States Senate. How
ever opposed as | yet am 10 the
measure advocated by him for the
settlement of the land titles in Cali
