With Mr. .Eggleston I hare no personal acquaintance whatever: from his connections, and from wbal 1 have heard of him, I was disjtoaed to think well of him.

I have always treated ray political adversaries with a proper courtesy and respect, and intend that they shall treat me in like manner. If still more unpleasant consequences grow out of ibis affair, 1 am, as I expressed in my note, ready and willing to meet them; though I frankly acknowledge it would be upon the point of etiquette merely; eo far as l am concerned unmixed with any feelings of revenge or personal ill-will whatever..

Too much praise cannot be awarded Mr. AVKay for hia liberal arrangement for the accommodation of the 'company.

The latest new* about the boundary question was t(e discussion in the. House.of Common*, on Ibe first of May. Lord John Russell slated that the Report of the Commissioners appointed - by England was.received only a few days ago; it contains' mailer of very considerable importance, andia now under the consideration of the government, and an answer will be immediately loturned to the last proposition made by the government of. the United'Slates informing them how far, wo can (all in with the proposition they last made. ‘ # . -. .

In the House Lords, lird Stanhope brought forward hie motion ott the subject of China affairs. The Duke of .Wellington look part in tlic debate, and expressed his approbation of the conduct of Captain Elliot. -The motion of Lord Stanhope, which was for an address io the Queen expressing a disapprobation of the. hostile measures against China, was negatived 'without a division.

I would say, and in' saying, 1 would vish.il"to be understood as my firm belief, as well as the belief of the great democratic party of this country, that if the federal wbigs, and abolitlobisls, succeed to electing Gen. Harrison to the presidency, the same misrule, and even worse is to be dreaded, than was experienced under the reign of John •Adame, of gag-law memory.—Worse for the obvious reason, that Gen.

Sir: —Various causes have united to delay the final adjustment of the difficulties existing between us, of which the principal was the illness and death of my mother-in-law, a member of ray own family. Availing themselves of this delay, Messrs. Ellwood Fisher and Edward Patton addressed. you a note stating that they bad conversed with me injrefererice to the publication of my notices in the Yevey Times, to which you had replied infthe newspaper primed here; that they were satisfied my motives were not personal, and requested from-you permission to withdraw your commentary with a view to an explanation at my hands to tbs same effect; your reply to thes.' gentlemen was informally submitted to me by them the evening previous to the death of my relative. It appears from that letter that you published your-card under the belief that a personal affront was intended you, but are so far satisfied of the contrary, that you will permit your correspondents in connection with your friend Geu.N. Sanders, Esq., to withdraw the comments alluded to, if I wt)l,previouiIr withdraw my publication in the Times, and corroborate Messrs, Fisher and Patton’s vindication of my-motives. These propositions were taken under advisement until last Friday, to allow me time to consult ray friend Mr. Joseph G. Marshall, to whom I bad written on the subject, and who was then supposed to be absent at Indianapolis, but expected home immediately. On Friday Mr. Sanders wrote Mr. Patton a note to the effect that he bad been called off on sudden and important business, which note was received on Saturday.. Dir. ’Marshall's professional business brought him from Madison to Lawrenceburgb on Tuesday last, where he was detained till Saturday, when I passed him on the river as he was going down and I coming up, and I have not aecn him at all.

Dear Sir:—

The undersigned hare seen with regret two publications recently made, one by J. C.

And we have concluded to take the liberty of interfering—the firit on bebalfof .Mr. Eggleston, as his friend and relative, the second as your friend: And both aa concerned in the invitation by which you became the guest of our political friends, on the occasion at which the difficulty originated. In this step we arc acting fo tar without consulting either —but for the welfare of both. And in vindication of our own relations, as hosts whose hospitality,oh the occasion referred loo, we wish to be shown inviolate.

His persevering in silence to interrogatories put to him on that subject, leaves us in the dark, as to what course he will be most likely to pursue, if elected. It is I believe, pretty generally thought that be is friendly to 'euch an institution; and if to, so much the worse; we have had one or two trials of that kind already. The late United States Bank, with its fearful train of most pernicious evils, is not yet forgotten by the American people. Nor have they forgotten, with what pertinacity the monied aristocracy, clang to that corrupt monster of iniquity. This I say, is all, of too tale a date, to be forgotten by the yeomanry of this happy, yea, thrice happy country. It now belongs to .you the sovereign people to say, which of these two distinguished ■ personages you will select, to All the highest office in the gift of any people under Heaven.

Newport, June 10, 1840. J, C. Eqolestos, Esq. Sir:—Your note of this date by the hands of Mr. Curry J has been received: having full and entire confidence in the honor ofMr. Curry, 1 should not have hesitated to have given you through him promptly an answer to your proposition, had I not have considered that in the present attitude #f the controversy between u», I ought not to be governed solely by my own opinions, but that I should lake the advioe of gentlemen of high reputation for their honor and undoubted standing with both of the exiating political parlies—Gentlemen whose opinions am entitled to undoubted authority with alt 'honorable men. Under these feelings 1 hare therefore consulted 1 with my friends Lorz Anderson, Maj. F. T. Helm, and Cot. James Taylor, who advise me that I honorably can, and in honor ought to accede to the proposition' contained in your note, which I accordingly do. As to any future publication in relation to the matter, if you or yoqf friends should deem it necessary to be made, I am satisfied that the mode and manner thereof may be agreed' upon by Messrs. Curry ic Helm, JOHN W. TIBBATTS.

We hard both conversed with Mr. Eggleston since his publication, and hive been distinctly assured, that the reference to yourself was lightly made.from report, but without meaning, or supposing the allusion could be understood to convey any tiling derogatory in the slightest degree to yourchsracter as a gentleman and a man of honor., Wc are equally well assured, that Mr. Eggleston would be ready to make this explanation himself, if he did not conceive all ex- - plsnatioa precluded by the terms of your note. Satisfied that the most punctilious self-respect on your part, demand satisfaction where no injury was intended, or inflict a wound on the feelings of one who designed no provocation, wo lake the liberty of suggesting to yon the transmission of authority to us to withdraw ' so much of your note os is personally insulting to him, oh the ground of your having been distinctly and voluntarily-advised by a friend of each, that he meant to say or insinuate nothing in hla notice which one gentleman might not . courteously apply to another in a political controversy—and that this withdrawal is made with the expecUtloh tbit this construction of the language tuedwill bo confirms 1 by lifr.

The following .is a synopsis of the law proposed by Mr. Webster. The subject is one of immense importance, and is exciting general interest. We hope our reader* will jirtuso' it with attention.

That the circumstances of the country require that Congress should exercise the Constitutional power of establishing a uniform system of Bankruptcy throughout the United Stales. 3. That it should be made applicable to all persons whatever, owing debts,-not less in amount than —j who shall avow their iniol-

The difficulty which occasioned the foregoing correspondence, has been finally adjusted by the parties. We have thought it advisable to publish the letters in Kentucky and Indiana where the gentlemen reside, in order that their friends may determine that it has: been, settled honorably to both parties, and that the public mind shall be well informed upon the whole subject.
