Interesting Correspondence.

L TIT Z OF HON. AS. r. MO IRIS
BARsEsvILLE, O.,Aug.5 1861.
Hon. J. B. MORRIS: &
Dear Sir:-I was at the
Union" County Convention, for
this county, held at Belmont, on last Saturday,
which Convention was composed Of the old
elements of the Republican party. At that
Convention a letter was read by d. PICK, pur-
porting to be from you, in which Mr.. PECK
makes you say "that peace is disunion," and
''to be in favor of peace is to be in favor of a
dissolution of the Union"
DR.. WEST also said that he had letter from
you containing the same sentiment. The Re-
publicans in this part of the county are trying
to make capital out of what you said in your
letter and many of your friends feel very sore
over it. I am of the opinion that there is
some misunderstanding about it, and would be
pleased to have you explain.
Please write Immediately, as desire to have
this matter settled. s
Respectfully Yours, aaa
J. H. COLLINS.
