First, wa did not ‘obtain access” to the corresponience referred to. Acopy of it was voluntarily but confidentially placed in our bands for perusal in February, (aot, how- ever, by Mr. Perry, with whom wehave had no corres idence, direct or indirect,) and we respected that con Baence by abstainieg from cay reference to the letters, until we found the statement in the Kew York journal. Secondly, in copying the Times’ article, we excluded those personal which we sup] Mr. Soulé could take just exceptions te. Thirdly, as the corres. pondence was not in our possession, it would have been as idle as it would have been impertinent and unprece dented, to ask Mr. Soulé’s fiat for its publication; nor had we any motive for so novel a atep, as we had no ren son to doubt that the correspond would, in due time, be sent to swith the other papers on the subject of our Spanish relation The Strike and Excitement at Manchester, New Hampshire.

THE CONTEST FOR THE CITY CHARTER—SPERCHEA IN FAVOR OF INCORPORATION, ETC., ETC. ‘The property holders of Hoboken who are im favor of incorporating Hoboken into a city, assembled last even- {og in their Town Hall to sustain the charter forthe election on Thurtday next. About two hundred people were gathered together, quite enthusiastic in favor of making Hoboken a city. On motion, Mr. Walkley was called to tt ad Mr. Demarest was elected secretar The Cnamman briefly stated the objects Lhe meet ing, when Mr. F. W. Wurrtey way called upon, and said—The main opposition to thi arter is mostly against the men who may be calle: (upon to administer the laws under this new form of government. He thought an in- dependent people should have no such fears as this while the suffrage was in their hands, To guard A the ingut We other aids yownbould arm your ie gistrates, that they might efleetually oppose this infux. Even if there was oo such place ax New York, there is reoron for this charter, for should have it for our civil ruie, Now, one argument against this charter is, it will increare our taxes, Now, I donot fear this, Aw taxes increare our property will increase, and an equi valent will be returned to it in civil rule. Our unemployed labor will be brought into nse by this new form of government. We want to establish our schools make our lamps shine brighter and our water purer, and to do all this our first step in towards « civil form of gov ernmest. The only evil | apprehend from an incorporate form of government ia an indifference on the part of ita electors in choosing their officers. Bit I am willing to risk this.

I think this charter will be passed on Thursdi next if the vote of Hooken is brought out, Onr legis- lators have been treacherous, and the Senator from this district introduced a bill with the evident intention of defeating it; but we will succeed in spite of them if we are true to ourselves.
