ston tells me that Bayard applied to dpy, or lat
nigni, io general bamuel Smith, and represent
ed to him the expediency of his coming oyer
to the States who vote for Buir : that there was
nothing in the way of appointment which he
miht not command; and particularly mention-
eatne becretaryship ot the Navy. Smith ask d
him if he was authorised to make the offer.- He
said he was authorised. Smith told this to Liv
ingston, and to W. C. Nicholas, who confirms it
to me," &c. t : A '
He then called upon the Senators from
Maryland aud Louisiana, referred to in
this passage, to disprove the statement
here made. . ; ,
Mr. Smith of Md. rose and said, that
he had read the paragraph before he came
here to day, nd was therefore aware ,of
its import. He had not the most distant
recollection that Mr. Bayard bad ever
made such a proposition to hi id. Mr.
Bayard, said he, and myself, though po
litically opposed, were intimate personal
friends, and he was ah honorable 'man.
Of all men, Mr. Bayard would have been
the last to make such a proposition to any
man ; .and I am confident that he had too
much respect for me, to have 'made it, up
jler any cicumstahces; I never, received
from any man, any 'such proposition.!
Mr. Livingston of Lou. saidv that, as
to the precise question which had been
put to him by the Senator from Delawarej
he must sayj that haviog taxed his recol
lection as far as it could so. on so remote
a transaction, ho had "no remembrance of
it.- . '
