The following correspondence has appeared in the papers this week.
THE AMERICAN MINUTE& AND MR. O'CONNELL.
23, Portland Place. 9th August.
Sin—My attention has been called to the publication in the last Spectator of a speech which purports to have been delivered by you at a public meeting in Birmingham, in which coo are reported to have used the following language in relation to myself-
" I believe their very Ambassador here is a slave.breeder, one of those beings who rear up slaves for the purpose of traffic. Is it possible that America would send here a man it bo traffics in blood, and who Is a disgrace to human nature? "
I desire to know from you whether this is a correct report of what you said on that Occasion, and with that view address to you this communication. I am, Sir, very respectfully, your obedient servant, A. SisvErmoN. To Daniel O'Connell, Esq., &c.
