DE WITT CLINTON.
from the Albany Argus.
New-York, April 10, 1913.


! Mr.. De Witt Clinton, having been nomi
mated and supported a. the peace party
candidate, for tho Presidency of the United
States, and an address to the republicans of
this state signed by Philip Van Cortlandt
ana others, having been lately put into cir
cujation, Ill which the policy of the wal. is
arralgned and the administration calumnia-
ted, by men VINO are the protested partzans
VI Mr.. Ciihton--it is proper that the senti-
ments OF that gentleman, in relation to the
war, be distinctly known and promulgated.
In order that the enemies of the general 60
vernment and Governor Tompkins, re e.
lecion shall not avail themselves of any ad.
vantage from the mysterious conceaiment
which has lately marked Mr.. Clinton's con
duct, nor from the representation of his a.
vowed sentiments, on subject of such vi
TAI Importance to a country, as war with
a foreign government, the opinions of every
citizen enjoying a portion of public conf
oeiice should be known and freely express
ed But when the sentiments of a man of
such nigh confederation as Mr.. Clinton has
enjoyed, are variou ly represented, and
widely Circulated, for the purpose of iniu-
ring the government, for having adopted
measures in conformity to his express adj
wee, II rs time the truth should be known.
ihe following was received in this CITY
yesterday, IN reply to letter written by
gentleman residing here, making enquiries,
respecting the avowed sentiments of Mr..
Clinton previously to the declaration of war.
The Character of Judge Robinson, a Senat
or, and Mr. Shaw, a representative to Con
gresS iron the state of Vermont, give an
authenticity to their Communication not to
be called IN question.
In reply to your letter of the 18th inst
which You have done us the honor To address
TO US, we have to state, that some time i'll
the month OF January, 1912, during the first
session OF the twelfth Congress-, we saw Mr..
lie Witt Clinton at the seat of government,
and conversed freely with him Upon the
state OF our foreign relations, and the great
dI;ilculty OF avoiding war with Great Bri-
tam, without SAC iics of the honor and
interests OF the United States. MIR. Clinton
stated his opinion in tho most explicit terms
that war was inevitable-that the honor
and highest interests ofthe country, demand
ed a resort to that measure, and that if a
declaration of war was not made before the
adJournmenr, that the twelfth Congress
would disgrace itself, and that the country
would be Justly stigmatized as weak and
pusillanimous.
The Conversation alluded to, took place
at dinner table and in company with four
other members Of Congress; and wus of
natare which we never deemed confidenti-
al.

Lord CaatleTeasA trusted. that in rising to
address the House. they would excuse him
iron: calling to their recollection the great
Importance If the present subject The
consideration that would come before tba
House was, whether Ministers mad so con-
Quoted the negotiations and discussions with
America, as that now, under the present
circumstances, their conduct merited the
appreciation of Parliament He apyreheud-
ed, however, that it was not the practice Of
Ministers III such cases, to come down 10
Parliament to ask for vote of Appreciation
in their own favor: it was enough to have
discharged their duty II The best of their
means, and to be satisfied il their own cons
sciences it would be great arrogance to
presume that they had merited the dpDro
baton Of Parliament; but il would bc their
qualification to hud tnat appreciation Con-
sequent on their conduct The merit.
of their conduct it was natural 10 leave
to those who might think them in error.
and who might therefore, if they pleas.
ed, move some proposition upon that psiut.
The information now laid before the HOUSE
was produced at tile instance st others, par
ucuiarly an honorable gentleman (Mr Whit.
bread); but though it did not call on Nina
tiers To justify themselves--ye the House
would them thejustice tosay, thattheyhdd
manifested no sort OF reluctance 10 siy ns az

mitted the whole state uf the discussion TO
Parliament, and though it was not the par
ticular question before them, he shout feeI
| disposed, If called upon, in later stages If the
debate, to answer any inquiries that might
be made respecting the views aud conduct
of Ministers, though that was nos in the first
instance necessary. lie regretted that un :
| der the circumstances of the war, the add
tional calamity OF the hos,ilities with Anne =

that tho war should be extended, but par
