ANOTHER LETTER FROM MT. CONWAY.
The Rev. MoNcuRE D. CONWAY publishes the follow
ing letter in the London Timer explaining his correspon-
dence with Mr. Mason:
TO the Editor Of the Times
Sir: Absence from London has prevented my giving
such careful attention to the correspondence between Mr.
Mason and self necessary to make the expana-
ton which the public both sides of the ocean will natu
rally expect OF me-
partirs overwhelmingly, the abotionists of Americs,
myself aud Mr. Mason with his Confederates.
AS TO the first, it to pounce upon them and COM
promise them with their Government that Mr.. Mason
rushed INTO print eagerly that, though only little way
from London did not his last letter until halt
day after had it in the Times But wonder that
Mr. Mason did SEE, what the Americans will certainly
sea that my second note to him admits that my authority
extended definitely only to the declaration that the abol
tonss Of America giving moral support to this war
simply aud only in the interest of ncpatOn and that
when that ceased to be involved they would no longer
sustain it; but that with regard to the special Offer
must write out and get special authority This lett It
yet open question whether the leading anti slavery men
were prepared negotiate with the Confederate aulho
ties He springs his before they in it, They
not compromised at all They do indeed stand com
mitted TO unwlngness to prosecute this terrible war
for any less important aim than the complete wpng out
of their couutrys crime and shame but it las all aong
been their avowed position that they to quote Wen
dell Phillips, willing to accept any thing, Union or dis
union, on the basis of emancipation
"Then, of the abolonsts, alone am implicated by
this correspondence And here ready to confess that
my nexperience in diplomatic and political affairs has led
make proposition the form Of which is obectiona
BILE. Recognising Mr.. Mason only unofficial though
representative Southerner whose views would be test
of the disposition Of the rebels the subject of slavery
and anxious afford that test to certain very eminent
literary in England who acknowledged that the reply
such proposition would decide their feelings with
gard to the issue, inferred hastily and improperly that
the right to declare the object of the aboltoniss in the
war justified me in sending the proposition to Mr.. Mason
personally.
LAS this my first correspondence with the enemy
undertaken only in the interest of my country and
virtually demand for the surrender of the enemys
capital shall hope that the apparent disoyaly of it, Of
which was unconscious will be condoned by the country
meant to serve.
But Mr.. Mason and his confederaes are implicated in
this matter i'll way to which desire to call the attention
Of those gentlemen satisfy whose minds wrote the
proposition and of all others who think that the South is
lighting for any worthier independence than mpunty 10
permanently robbing another of it's independence
I'm order to compromise the abotioniss, Mr.. Mason
comedies that had authority make the offer of inde
pendence for emancipation. He acknowledge, the
strength Of Mr. Garrison letter Of credit that had that
authorization to which, when shown him. he had promised
reply. So the English public know now, with clear
which my laundering way of evokng such
ssion did merit what the reply of the South is to
proposition offering her freedom as she calls it, on the
condition Of her according the the millions whom
she oppresses Whether had right to make the offer
or not it ia answered The believer in the golden rule
has only ask himself what would be his interest in the
success Of the Northern arms if his wife and chill
dren to day under the lash Southern plantation,
that have Mr.. Masons that every gate
way except that If is closed / am &c.
