dence relating to this accusation, as may ena-
bic us fairly TO meet and answer it.
The object of this letter therefore is to re-
quest you to state,
First, Who are the persons, designated rs
leaders of the party prevailing in Massacha
sets in the year 1905 whose object, you assert
was and had been for several years, dissoiu-
tion of the Union, and the establishment oil
separate Confederation and
Secondly, the whole evidence on which that
charge is founded.
II is admitted in the statement OF the charge,
that il is not proveable in a court oflaw. and OF
course that you are not in possession OF any
legal evidence by which to maintain 1t. The
evidence however must have been such as in
your opinion would have been pronounced M
equivocal by upright and honorable men OF DIS
eliminating minds and we may certainly ex-
pect from your sense of justice and self respect,
full disclosure of all that you possess.
A charge of this nature, coming as 1t does
from the first magistrate of the nation acquires
an Importance which we cannot affect to dlsre
gard and it is one which we ought not to leave
unanswered We are therefore constrained, by
a regard to air deceased friends and to our pos
terity, as well as by sense Of what is due to
our own honour, most solemnly TO declare that
we have never known nor suspected that the
party which prevailed in Massachusetts IN the
year 1909, or any other party in this Sta:efeveI
entertained the design to produce dissolution
of the Union, or the establishment OF separate
Confederation 1t is impossible for us IN any
other manner to refute, or even to answer this
charge, until we see it fully and particularly
stated, and know the evidence by which II is 10
be maintained.
The undersigned think it due to themselves
20 add, that in making this application to you'
they have no design nor wish to produce an
effect on any political party or question what
ever Neither is it their purpose to enter into
pindcation or discussion of the measures pub
lcly adopted and avowed by the persons against
whom the above charge has been made. Our
sole object is to draw forth all the evidence on
which that charge is founded, in order that the
public may judge of its application and its
weight.
We are Sir, with due respect,
Your obedient servants,

Virginia Representation in COngrcss.-N irgnia is

us strike the balance, and agree that it works as
much evil as good.
There is probability Of more animation in the OPP
prolching congressional election than usual. OPpo-
