SENATOR WILSON TO MR.. BROOKS.
WAsHINGTov. Nav 29-lO5 o'cloc

WASHINGTON, May 29-104 o'clock.
Hon. P. S. BRooKs.-Sir: Your note
of the 9th inst was placed in my hands by
your friend Gen. Lane, at 10 90 this morn
ing.
characterized on the floor of the senate
the assault upon my colleague as "brutal,
murderous and cowardIy." 1 thought so
them think so now. 1 have no quaifca-
tions whatever to make in regard to those
words.
l have never entertained or expressed in
the senate or elsewhere the idea of personal
responsibility in the sense of the duelist. 1
have always regarded dueling as the linger-
ing relic Of a barbarous civilization, which
the law of the country has branded as
crime. While, therefore, 1 religiously be-
lieve in self defense, in its broadest sense,
the law of my country and the matured con-
viction of my own life, alike forbid me to
meet you for the purpose indicated in your
letter. Your obedient servant,
HENRY WILSON.
The sequeal to this correspondence is as
follows, and will be read with no little inter
est! "Col. Lane called upon Mr.. Wilson
on Friday morning, after the receipt of
Mr.. Wilson's reply, and assured him, from
Mr.. Brooks, that no assault upon him was
contemplated, and that he and his friend
might disarm themselves. Mr.. Wilson ac-
cepted these assurances and appeared in
the avenue without arms. The whole affair
is over with so far as those two are concern

Eg- Two weeks since the Messenger as
serted that white man had been killed in
Scipio township, Seneca county, by a black
man, and that the "black republicans" !"
helped to run him away from justice. The
Tiffin Tribune says:
whether you the author Of the above Mr.. Botefur,
or not it is a miserable falsehood.
There has not man been killed in Scipio
in three years. The Tribune further says:
peaking of Scipo the charge made in this paper
time since that the bael0eocos electioneered for and
voted for negro black night at the last spring eec

You will make but little in stirring up the colored gen

might sag there and elsewhere.
I, therefore, hold myself at liberty, by
this note, to request that you will inform
me, without delay, sChere and lOhen, outside
of this District, further note viii find you.
Respectfully, DC. P. S. BRooKs.
