My IKAll Mil : I have just received
your letter of the ";ith ultimo, asking me to
give you " my recollection of a conversa
tion, which I had with the Hon. l M. liar
imger, in regard to a communication to him
by the P.-pe - Nuncio, touching the appoiut
inei.t ol Campbell iu the Cabinet."
la reply to your letter, I wiil say, that I
did l.r ii Mr. li i-rii ger iu conversation on
t.ie s ibjoer of Mr. i. auipoeH's ap; oiuluieiit
I.i ll e I aoiiiet of l'1'es..h ..t Pieic Mj re

r-spieiiil v.r that tt-! couvv-rsailou in -.thigh I
bean Mr. Rirriiigcr engaged was. address
ed to me particularly. 1 think the conver
sation originated in this manner. The Ro
man Catholic church was the subject of
conversation; the interests the controlling
men of that church tool: iu the political af
fairs of this country, how clo-eiy they
w atched the movements of political parlies,
with a view to iheir own advantage; aud
how well informed t li--y were on those subjects.
As an evidence of the truth of these things
!Mr. Harringer said that the first informa
tion be received of the appointment of Mr,
Campbell to the Cabinet ol Pre-ideut Pierce,
was through the Nuncio of the Pope of
Rome, the Nui.cio informing him at the time,
that he (Mr. C.) was a member of the Ro
mish Church. I think Mr. Harringer said,
that at this time, he did not know Mr. Camp
bell, nor did he know that be belonged to
the Romi-li Checrh. The appointment to
the cabinet of President Pierce, his mem
bership iu the Roman Catholic Church, tho
tact ma' the appointment had been made,
were all communicated ll Mr. 1, by thu
Nuncio, in advance, of any other informa
tion he had received lioiu home ou the sub
ject. Now in re'Tiin

is was satisfactory to me, that such an un

did exi-t before the Presidential diction,
