(Mr. v. does not quite accurately repeat the
charge against US. We were accused BY Tn
Times with having engaged in correspondence
with him with reference to Foreign 1tdiatss
in our domestic quarrel; and, though this was
not true, it was repeated with. The Times with
addition that We had admitted its truth. We
have not the letters at hand; but We are con.
fdent that Mediation was not alluded to BY
Mr.. V. in his former communication.
We did not misunderstood Mr.. v. with re-
gard to the sold negro nurse" and We de-
cidedly object to his suggestion. New'fork
and New jersey were both Slave States with
in our remembrance, and they had such laws
as became Slave States. Having ceased to be
sucb they should now have laws betting Free
States. and such only. If any one chooses To
bring an "old negro nurse" into any Of our
States, let him have full liberty to DO SO (for
we detest your Western negrO'sxclus'on laws).
and if the old nurse chooses to return with
him, 80 be il; If not, let it be that way. We
sisDd for State Rights, Mr. v, and for tho
right of each State to make just and equal
aws-thc same for stJourners % for citizens.
"Thc ripht Of transit and sojourn" 10 very
WE'LL but the right Of holding persons enslaved
in Free State aud of forcing them thence IN
shackles, is not well.
Mr. V. is mistaken with regard to Gov.
Seward. When q candidate for Governor 10
1888, lac did write letter rather sustaining
the act whereby shareholders in other States
were authorized to bring slaves into this State
and hold them here in bondage for any period
short of nine months; bat after be became
Governor he thought better of it, took ground
against this act. and had it repealed. We
shall be happy at any time to report similar
progress toward justice and humanity on the
part Of Mr.. Vallandigham. I'd. T,S.l
