These letters, as edited by the Constitution
and Herald, contain nothing more "highly i'm
| portant' than what is quoted above. In this
| connection it will not be amiss to copy the
following card from Mr.. Gddings
LETTER FROM JOSHUA r.. GIDDINGs.
The following letter from the Hon. Joshua
X. Giddings appears in the Philadelphia North
American

men was not to obtain facts on which TO predi.

office. Browns sons were the victims to that
despotism which your party exerted in favor
OF an institution which the people abhorred.
These facts do not rest on suspicion, nor on
the refusal Of a victim to answer any aues-
