Galks: Having in an Editorial of vnur paper of the 23d December, had refer ence to the subjects enioracen in me stiojom ed Corresnontlence, I have to reqiifsi trie la vor flf it publication in the RegUler. As r .i- t..- Itlr. urown says me --coihi-ibuumi uo iweeu Mr. Van Boren.antl himseH, occurred about the time of the termination of lbs French Commission,' in which Mr. V. U. used the offensive remark in regard to me. I deem il due to myself lo publish bis letter toCov. Spaight, dated a few days after the Commission closed, having reference to the very "appointment, wliicit, aceoruing to Mr. Brown s statement, leu to trie reiunra. I could also cive.a copy of Mr. Van Utiten's letter to myself, expr.ssing In still stronger terms bis friendly feelings, but mat the tel ler i nf a rh iracter so exclusively personal, as to reudcr it indelicate in me to make it; Respectfully. R. M SAUNDERS. kindness towaida me. In addition tn this an article was published in ihe. Richmond Enquirer, without giving tlie d ite? or piece from which it was written, containing many inistatemenls as to mvself. respecting the Senators! election, and doing me great in justice. Without attributing thii communi cation to any one in particular, il neverthe less had the appearance of having he-n writ ten by so.ne one in your counsel and con fidence. After these occurrence, and the declara tion by some of your friends, thai snder no circumstances would ihev vote for me, to gether wilh the rlear indications given, thai the Whig parly were lelietl upon to effect vour election, it cannot be a just cause of sui,iiisf-irrai-y--tioit-sluM4d -have ieen changed, in regard to the subjects re ferred to in our conversations. You ask me lo inform you, whethrt I used the expiession altiibuted to-me in an article in a late Raleigh Register" that I had rather see an ultra Federalist elected than yourself." or "that I would vrde for a Federalist sooner than you." While I den the right of any one to rail in question mv privilege of expressing preferences in elec tions fur important ptib'in stations, I shall not hesitale lo answer frankly your interrog atory. I did. in conversatinn, use substan tially the expression attributed tn mf tin ier a change of views for the reasons abo'-e mentioned, and because I believed that an election of Senator from the Demoiratic ranksby the Whiga-Wouhl - nrneji-mjjjpi ! ical opponents. m. You ask also, il I liso ueu toe expres sion " tbat I had long known you to lie politically dishonest." In answer, -1 will slate, that in conversation I used those or words of similar imoort. H due; liowpv er, lo a proper nmlemtamliiig T my mean ingT that t should say, that I used ihem in the sense th" which they are ordinal il v ti-- l towards public men who are supposed, on some occasions, to permit individual views to influence them lo loo great an extent, in theii endeavors le attain public promotion. You further request lo be infortne 1, whe ther I had said 'that Mr. Van Duren had told me, he bad long kno vn you. and that yon thought no man in Nonh Carolina, but voiirself, was capable of filling an office." The above remark, was, iir conversation, substantially repeated bv me. In a conver taiinn with Mr. Van Buren before lie wr,s elevated to the Presidency, and ahorit the lime your appointment as Commissioner un der the French Treaty was to terminate. and when jipur name was presented ojr was sooken of as i ..tended to be presented to Gen. Jackson for another appointment, I understood lii:n lo use, in subsunie, the above reaaark. I have authorijed my friend, Mr. Bragg, lo transmit t you this letter.
