gentleman r. u Duftiej did say, that in his opinion
there was 10 other remedy FOR the evil than separa-
ton OF the State from the Union-that teI,D1riZ1,c,
measures would prove .aifing--and that he him,
sell, was prepared to go all lcngths:-and when il
was remerkcd that his Constituents rpht not a,,proy
such measure, did he not reply with an excarua-
toh' thdt az WoGld not hGh represent them that be
considered lis services in Congress as IN chii~.toD
conferred on them and that whenever they failed to
support his great views the affairs of the Union
ne would abandon them TO this did you not reply,
that others were as ready to make sacrifices as he,
| could be? Further, when it was observed that Mr.

States Government would force TIE State to su;,-
mission, s!!c, sngichendcG, not having the power to

General Government to cOerce the State' That the
standing army was more than handful of men
nothing could DE feared from itthat with regard to
the militia, no Southern militia, if called out by the
| PRESIDENT would take arms against our People and
that the Northern militia would permitted bv
| Virginia and North Carolina TO pass through their
territories for the purpose of suhecting South Caro-
ma? Finally after all attempts to obtain coopera-
ton OF the Southern delegations had liled-acr one
! ofour most influential members Mr. Senator Smith
had pcremptorily refused to attend-and unanimitv
was not found to exist even among those who were
present, 1t not then that Won proposed fo
all the foregoing plans, lest any increase ofexcemeu
IN south Carolina might prove injurious to the cleo
Senator SMuH. (beng in the habits of intimacy ard
conEdentlo communication with hlu,l related What
had transpired, and remarked that the eegaton Lad

With regard to the views Of yourself aud others
could say nsthing. Having never respected u tlcr
the principles or course of the Calhoun party was
not i'll your confidence and was therefore, left TO-
mere conjecture as to what your motives were md
