Re. 78 Augt. 1831.

Canfield July 27th 1831
Dear Sir
Your letter in answer to mine, inclosing some papers in the case of Amariah Daniels who has applied to the Secretary of the Treasury for the benefit of the act of May 1828 was duly received, and forwarded to Mr Daniels. The objections so far as I can ascertain them against extending the benefits of the act of May 1828 to Mr Daniels are, 1st That his name does not appear on the rolls, and 2nd That it is ascertained by resorting to an application made by him, for the benefit of the act of March 1818, he there states he was dismissed from the Service sometime in February 1822. As to the first point, I understand the rule to be, that the enlistment and service may be proven by the oaths of two witnesses, where the name of the applicant is not on the roll, and that such proof is as conclusive of the facts, as documentary evidence would otherwise be. These depositions were furnished sometime since. An exception was taken at the Department, that the Magistrate had not certified, the witnesses were of fair character and entitled to belief. Mr Daniels with the loss of much time, and some money, performed a journey to Massachusetts and obtained the certificate of the Magistrate, in all particulars as full, as the Department required. One would be led to suppose, the evidence was complete, according to the regulations of the Department. The fact that Mr Daniels states in his application under the act of March 1818 for a pension, that he was discharged in February 1822, is interposed, to deprive him of the benefits of the act of May 1828. He explains, how that erroneous statement was made, and further that he objected to it at the time, and was told by Judge Bangs, it made no difference, as the time for which he enlisted and served was more than nine months, and that was all the law required. He has made his affidavit of this fact, and is one of the papers I sent to you. He would have proved it by Judge Bangs, if he had not deceased. You have evidence that Mr Daniels sustains a fair character. It seems to me, that the oaths of two peers, sustained as it is, by two other credible witnesses, should be conclusive of the requirements of the act of May 1828. Unless the Department lays down the broad principle, that if an applicant has made a mistake, it shall be taken as conclusive against him, not withstanding he explains it, and notwithstanding other incontrovertible testimony sustains him in the main fact, necessary to be proven. It seems to me, this is the principle, the department seems to enforce and against it, I remonstrates. Permit me to say the Department has nothing to do with the application under the act of March 1818, further than to resort to it, for the purpose of detecting imposition and fraud. Suppose Mr Daniels in the most offensive sense of the term committed perjury in making that application, does that exclude him from the benefits of the act of May 1828? I find no such provision in the act. That he did not commit perjury, is proven by his own explanation of the mistake and the manner of its happening. I had supposed a witness might at any time explain, and that an answer in Chancery might at any time be connected, when it was ascertained that a mistake existed, if a witness in testifying or a defendant in Chancery, should at the time he testified, or sworn to his answer, wish to correct an error, and should be told by the court it was wholly immaterial, it would be very extraordinary, if the error afterwards became material, to lining it up in judgment against him.

Unless Mr Daniels has committed perjury in his late application, and unless two other witnesses have committed the same crime, he did enlist for during the war, and served to its close. An honorable man who has faithfully served his country does not wish to linger out an old age under this imputation. If he has committed this crime let the Government prosecute him for it; he will count an investigation. In the examination of claims at Washington for the last eight years of language I am well satisfied, that many fraudulent claims have been presented: they have however rarely been supported by false swearing. They were generally inadmissible on principle, and such as imposed no obligation on the Government to pay. My experience has satisfied me of another fact, that many, very many , fair and just claims have been rejected, because the applicants were not versed in all the subtleties of office regulations, and because there was a supposed, or real discrepancy in the testimony, and no pains taken by those whose duty it was to point it out to the applicant, and because every pretense is laid hold of, which the discrepancy in testimony will often times furnish, to defeat the claims that are presented, against the Government. These observations come not made in relation to yourself. I have ever understood, you were not only discriminating in the investigation of testimony, but was equally anxious to do justice to the applicant, as to the government. It was for this reason, I presumed to ask you to examine Mr Daniels' papers yourself. Perhaps I asked too much. I know your time must be laboriously devoted, to other and more important business, but a citizen whose character is at stake, has an impious claim, to a few moments of the time of the head of the Treasury Department. You state in your letter, that it appears by the examination of Mr Daniels' first application, that it is in his own hand writing. Suppose it to have been be, does it alter the case, if you are satisfied a mistake was committed? Mr Daniels however says in a letter to me after perusing yours, that the application is not in his hand writing, and that this fact can be proven by Edward D Bangs son of Judge Bangs before whom the affidavit was made, who lives in Worcester, Worcester County Massachusetts. I shall write to Mr Daniels to make an affidavit, stating who wrote the application. I desire that you write to Mr Edward D Bangs, if you shall not be satisfied by Mr Daniels' affidavit and ascertain from him whose the hand writing is, or if you will intrust the application to me, I will forward it to him, and obtain his statement. All I desire in this case is, that Mr Daniels should have justice done him, and from my knowledge of you, I know, whether acting as a public officer, or as an individual, you would not be satisfied with less.
Very Respectfully
Yours C Whittier
Henry Dickens Esq Acting Secretary of the Treasury
August 2nd I have detained this communication in order to inclose Mr Daniels' affidavit that Judge Bangs wrote his application under the act of March 1813. this was received last evening and I now forward it together with his letter A Declaration acting for which he refers to other persons not named in the Secretary of the Treasury's clear and peremptory letter.

I received yours dated July 13 th stating that the evidence which I transmitted to you in favour of my claim has been examined and has not proved satisfactory to you — In referring to yours of April 16 th 1829 I find you stated that it appeared by a report from the War department that when I applied for a pension I stated that I was discharged in February 1782 therefore my claim could not be admitted — I would inform you when my papers were first made out I was not all the time present and through the mistake of the person who made them out the difficulty arisen But when my evidence as well as myself appeared before the Justice we immediately saw the mistake and was desirous of having it rectified; but Judge Bangs Esq. stated that soldiers obtained the pension that served 9 months as well as those that served 3 years or during the war and it made no odds and by the declaration of this man it was not rectified — I was discharged at Robert Point in the state of New-York in 1783 at the termination of the war I would be pleased to inquire whether it would be satisfactory to you to have the credibility of the witnesses testified to by the Justice from which their affidavits were taken or the credibility of myself or of the two Corbells, Nathaniel and Phoebe.

The two Corbetts was near Neighbors to me when I returned from the war and they knew it was at the close of the war as well they often heard my Father say that I remained until the war was closed. I do not wish to advance any thing but what will bear testimony before any Justice wherein my witnesses affidavits were taken — If I should be pleased to have you Inform me if the above is not satisfactory what will be necessary for me to do to obtain it. This appeal I make to the United States for my just dues, hard, hard is it for me who has spent the best of my days in the defense of my country and am now bowing down with the infirmities of age at be deprived of it on account of one mistake which can be rectified and proved satisfactory to you

Affidavit of Mariah Daniels

Rec'd July 1831.
395
Canton, Trumbull County Ohio
July 7th 1831
Sir
Amariah Daniels of Palmyra Portage County in this State made an application sometime since, to be put on the pension list under the act of May 1828. His application was rejected as well as I recollect for the reason, that recent being had to his application for a pension under the act of March 1818, it was found, he had stated he was discharged in 1782. Mr Daniels made an affidavit, that when he made his statement before Judge Bangs he told him that he was discharged at the end of the war in 1783. and when it was read over to him, he objected against 1782 being inserted, and was told by Judge Bangs it would make no difference as the law only required nine months service, and as it appeared he had served for a longer period than nine months, as the statement then was; he declined to make any alterations. Mr Daniels was informed he must prove his services by two witnesses. He went into Massachusetts and obtained the deposition of Caleb Albee and Samuel Mansdill as to his services. The Secretary of the Treasury rejected them, because the magistrates did not certify they were persons of truth and veracity. Mr Daniels complained on the subject and I advised him to obtain the certificate required and further to prove by Judge Bangs, that an objection was made against inserting 1782 instead of 1783, when Mr Daniels applied for the benefit of the act of March 1818. He has obtained the certificate of the magistrates, and has made affidavit that Judge Bangs is dead. These papers I now forward to you. His other papers are on file in the Treasury Department. I have a word to say in behalf of Mr Daniels. He is considered a man of strict truth and veracity, and so far as I know or believe his own statement would be considered conclusive by those who knew him the longest and best. So fully satisfied am I of the justice of his claim, that I have to solicit your particular and personal attention to his papers.
