Sir, 1 have met the honorable senator but
onco on a social occasion this session, where
all parties met, southern rights, whigs and

Sir, I turn from this subject as I do from
its author, with loathing, contempt and
stated. The letter went before the pul.lic ;
and but yesterday, or the day before, 1 dis
claimed all personal responsibility for its
statements, facts, aud allegations.
There is also connected with this letter
an editorial article, said to have been writ
ten bv inc. I his article hears evidence iij
Whig of the column wavers now, but all
are true and faithful to the Constitute,,
aud to the northern men who wore c0)l

there has been any misconstructions as
