Geutlemen-Your paper of the sth OF July, con-
tanning friendly notice of my speech at Yazoo CITY,
has this moment fallen into my hands. For the kind
nanneri in which you speak of my effort, and for the
general accuracy of the report under obligations
to you But there is point on which You misap-
pretended me, and on which l think you state nv
position in stronger language than employed. You
will, am sure, allow the benefit of very brief
correction.
In speaking of Kansas affairs, Gov. Walker, etc.,
you report me as saying:
would suffer Walker to retain his place as Gov
of that Territory but If he did, the South should
rise up and denounce him false to the great princi-
pies OF the Kansas bill and traitor to her best inter-
est. He, for one, would do SO, and SO would every
true Southerner.''
What meant to be understood as saying was sub
stantiaLy this that Gov. Walker had, as federal
officer, nterered between the Territorial Convention
of Kansas and the people Of that Terrtory-thus yio-
lating the principle OF noninterventon and that he
had farther, undertaken to compel the Convention
by threats, to submit to the Constitution, when
formed, to the s. SETTLERS in Kansas; thus as con
ceved departing from both the letter and spirit o.
his instructions from the President. f
said did not believe the President would sustain
Gov. Walker in this course. But did not mean to
be understood taking the ground that would de-
nounce the President unless be removed the Governor
For very good reasons the President may, as l con-
ceve dsapprove of much that the Governor has said
and done, and yet not remove him. did say and
now repeat that disapproye of Gov. Walkers course
and if it shall be found that the President sustains
it shall still oppose it. But if expressed myself as
strongly as you report me q certainly think did
noD went too far. 1 shall oppose any man or any
party that takes the position of Coz. Walker far.
as understand them. But am not prepared to
say that the President should be denounced as false
to the principles of the Kansas bill and traitor to
her best interests if he differs with me. win oppose
him as have opposed other Presidents with firm
ness and hope with dignity.
know very well how in the heat of remark may
have used stronger than was proper, or how
you in reporting afterwards from memory may have
applied words used in connection to another point
in the same spirit. On the whole have great reason
to be satisfied with your report of what said. But
on this single point desire to be accurately under
Stood and therefore request you to insert this expa
nation in your next paper.
Very truly, your friend,
A. C. BROWN.
[Gov Brown is candidate for reelection to the
U. S. Senate. OF course he doesn't wish the infu-
ence of the administration arrayed actively against
him. Hence his guarded language. But he is un-
qualifedly opposed to tine Kansas policy of Governor
Walker; and asserts, if the President sustans the
Governor, 81 will oppose him as l have opposed
other Presidents, with frmness and hope with dig
nifty" Under the circumstances, the language of con-
demnation is as decided as we could hope for and
merits widespread consideration.]

although the cost of the goods not perhaps re-
alized we are of opinion that the result Of the sales
will have tendency to place the market in better

exclusively to Southern ports begins to look as it
there was some life still in this trade comprising s6
cases against 1870 for the corresponding week
OF last year. AtLynn, Haverhill and the other neigh
boring towns, we are also advised of more active
demand and increased sales, and prices generally are
fully sustained and firm. Manufacturers are still
holding back to certain extent. They manifest no
inclination to increase largely. the supply OF goods
unless justified by advance prices. Buyers should
bear in mind that leather has rapidly advanced in
price, and now rules from three to four cents per
pound higher than the current rates month ago,
and that goods cannot be manufactured and sold at
living profit unless higher prices are obtained. Up
ward tendency of the hide and leather market still
continues, the receipts hardly equal to the demand,

not be surprised if prices advanced quite rapidly
