The Hon. Reverdy johnson.

To The Editor OF f< ~ j. Tribune
Will you afford me few lines of your valua-
BILE space for the purpose Of correcting error In my
voYk. entitled General Butlcr in New. Orieans"
1t il stated therein that In the Charleston Conven
ton of 1860 n collision occurred in debate between Gen.
Butler and the Hon Reyerdy johnson Of Maryland in
the course Of which Mr.. johnson Is reported TO have
said that in almost any circumstances Maryland would
claim her rights Southern State and would vote
with the people Of ths South.
now learn that language IKE this ever fell from
the lips Of Mr. Reyerdy Johnson and that he was not
member Of tho Charleston Convention. The person
who figured in tho debate referred 10 was certain
Bradley johnson, who mentioned IN the newspaper
reports as Mr.. johnson Of Maryland" This indi,
vidns, az soon a. hostities began ied company OF
Rebels from Baltimore to Harpers Ferry TO JON the
forces Of the Corfederacy.
Mr.. Rovcrdy johnson. the contrary from the hrst
days OF the Rebellion. conspicuocy sided with the mon
and threw the whole weight Of bis influence ana Talents
upon that side The evidence Of this Is accessible IN
the Rebellion Record vol J. doc y. l99 where speech
OF Mr.. Revsrdy johnson Is printed delivered In May
1861 which denounced the Rebellion groundless and
absurd and predicts the triumph Of the Union cause
