Daily Richmond Whig. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1828-1831, 1829-04-22

tbatno member of tha.conyention, as I think, shonI5
hr strictly bound to any particular plan of reform.
Coming from different parts of the commonwealth
and representing different and apparently opposite
interests, the delegates may be expected to entertain
differcnt and opposite views. In such a state OF
thincs, without mutual concession, no compromise
could be made. Each member, therefore. should ma
at liberty to depart from his own favoritc system Of
reform, so tr as ION full consideration and pro6tipp
from the lights afforded by tie convention the great
interests ana the permanent prosperity of the whole
quire.
Aware fthe delay Of the post, I have written this
answer III haste. that ! may send il to-morrow morn-
ing by private conveyance to Louisa court house
lou nave my permission 20 make what Use Vol,
please of IL. !Nu
Very respectfully, I ana,
Your obi. serv't.
