In the course of the summer, we had,- in some of our congressional districts, animat ed contests between candidates for Congress. This gentleman, I under stood, took an active part.

I "have like wise been informed that, still further to succeed in his plahs of defaaiation, he confidentially used a letter, said to be written to him by my honorable colleague,-(Mr. Grukdy,) in which my name was used, not much to my advantage; and I now take this occa sion, in the Senate, in presence of our brother Senators, . in presence of this audience, and in the face of the world, to ask my colleague to Bay whether, at any. time, he wrote any letter to Mr. Curry, in -.which my name is used. Mr. Grundy answered that he was taken by surprise with the question; but he did not remember he had ever written a letter on any subject to Mr. Curry, , and that lie feltaertain if he had, be had never used his colleague's name in other terms than those of respect.1 " Mr. Vhitb: proceeded: I am then present, and this artifice must have been.5 used by Mr. - Currr thcf more ie RVct u ally-todw, civ ea nxL... mi vl e ad those to whom he made such state ment. - All thia conduct I disregarded, and did not even think it worthy tm be made matter of conversation.
