duction of slavery could not possibly be
the consequence of convention; and
that the courts of the United States
would dec lare any clause in the new con-
stitutlon, admitting slavery, both illegal
and inoheratiUe. Yet when man hon.
j estly refused TO sign such instructions
because he wished for slavery, he was as
sured that "8iavery svas The real object,
bHt il 7ponid not do 10 say 30 here" II was
also asserted that desired to be instruct
ed to vote for a convection, and that
the instructions were written by me.
How fer instructions obtained in this
fraudulent manner wouldba been bind
ing, il the requisite number OF signers
ct the before mentioned lass had been
obtained, il is unnecessary at this time to
inquire. have shown hat the convcn-
ton party utterly failed TO produce the
requisite number of signers of that class.
And the statement OF M. Sade, (Which
i | presume will not be contradlcted, J
shows that | did not promise to pay any
regard to forged signatures--thal | did
not promise to be instructed by minors,
or slaves, or people of other counies or
OF other states; in short, that did not
promise to be instructed by any Who had
not voted in Madison county at HE last
election. Had Mr. Coats been disposed
to act honorably, he would have .cknow
lodged that he found it impossible to OBJ
tain the requisite number of sisners to
those instructions, among the specified
class, because large majority OF them
we're opposed to convention.
Those who are determined to lind fau 1t
, at all events, will doubtless continue to
do SO. They would have found fault it
| had refused 10 obey instructions; they
would have accused me of violation OF
that constitution which | was sworn 10

cause did not refuse TO obey--because
| did not violate the constitution. Some
times they find fault because | promised
SO much; at other times, because ! did
not promise more. To such persons
have nothing to say. But those who
value consistency OF conduct-who re-
