SIR: Your note of this date has beer
placed In my hands. / admit, witllou,
hesitation, your right and duty to do Jus.
tice to the reputation of your son. At the
same time maintain my right. in the dis
charge of my day as Senator, to comment
freely and fully on the character of exccu-
tive appointments, especially in my own
State. 1 deny. however that my general
remarks in eation to the list of illinois
appolntees. confirmed dnring my absence,
could be fairly interpreted to embrace your
son. W hen you seemed so to construe
them. ] promptly replied that what had
said OF the Illinois appointments was true
as general rule. bnt that there were ex-
captions, among whom recognized some
OF my own friends. Aiinding particular
ly to your son, added that had nothing
to say in regard to the merits of his ap
polntment. choosing to leave that question
where | placed it by remarks to the Senate
during the last session. in your presence,
at ti.., time Of his confirmation. You now
admit that You understood this explana-
ton to exempt your son from the applica-
tion of my general remarks; and yet, you
have failed to withdraw the offensive lam
guage. but on the contrary, at a subsequent
stage of the debate, when apologizing for
breach of senatorial decorum, Won ex-
pressiy declared that you had nothing to
retract-thus appearing in my apprehen-
sion. to reaffirm the objectionable words.
AS to the other ground of offence adj
m'tted in your reply to my note. have to
say that did not understand You to as
sumo to correct me in quotation of your
language, as was unconscious of making
any such citation, but to repeat the origi-
nal offence in another form; otherwise,
would have made proper response ON the
instant. ~, .. b. ..Ito- 80. isas,a

whose father lives on a Zine property a mile or two

employment OF her father for some time in the ca

that sthe father of the girl is a red-hot Abolition

disposed to abate not one jot or title from its ut

The object of our Lccompton neighbors in copy

its having become so common, and all wrong in
the Free States. because It is so uncommon7 We
confess we cannot appreciate such logic. Again, If
one or two such cases a year in the whole Free

not the wholesale practical INAUGURATION carried

We understand the republicans of this

Laws may be so amended that the niger

The petition referred to only prayed the Legs
lature to repeal all laws in regard to preventing
negroes from coming into the State, acquiring
property, &c. Nothing was said in it about
placing the niger on equality with the
