The reader will observe that this letter says that "certificates of election will accordingly issue" to the 1101110119 named. This °teeth, n took place in Kansas on the 4th of January.— It is now the 224 of March, and not a Anglo person chosen to the office has received a cer tificate of election. Nur 11118 Calhoun issued the certificates, even since he found it necessa. ry to coons to the conclusion he announces, and the inference most likely to he drawn is that the certificates will issue only after the I.e. common affair shall have been disposed of in Congress, sod no more votes are to be halo , enced by such publications. The whole oldie State officers were chosen- by the Free State men quite as fairly as this legislative majority which is now conceded, and yet do not read 'that Calhoun intends to give them to the free soil candidates.

The fact that Mr. Irving had written ouch letter in praise of Sartnroe, and had expensed his willingness to have his good opinion made public was our chief inducement to purchase the copy-right and stereotype plates of the work from 'Messes. W. P. Fetridge & Co., New Yedk. Mr. Putnam, in his card, asserts the latter to be a forgery, Mr. Maitland has always de clared it to be genuine. With the question of veracity between these two gentlemen, it does not heroine us to meddle. We only owe it to ourselves to show,. as we hove, that, whether till letter be gentile or lint, it was given to us as genuine. Ceitainly, if we had believed the letter a forgery, or that, being genuine, Mr. Ir ving did not wish it published, we should not have used it. T. B.
