iic-especially when we reflect that The
President aevcr iatrrfcres in elections n.
j. Walker is The Fan B,tFen candidate ior

didate, Is the well known Franklin r..

The letter is dated

/" Mr.. Plummer's declaration as stated
in your letter, in regard to my opinions OF
MIR. Walker, is quite as surprising to me-
as his report Of my conversation about the

Plumuer has done, and is still doing, By as
serting ilSt you ~ hare said. that you az
had little or no confidence in Mr.. Walker.
Now, this so far from being true, is direct
" the reverse Of the truth. have never
spoken Of Mr.. Walkers character without
expressing the high opinion entertained
of his talents and worth. To MIR. Ellis,
and Gen. Hind. Of Mississippi, and others
of that State, as well as to Mr.. Plummer
himself. aud to many others in Washing
ton. have repeatedly expressed the re-
gard and con6dence had for him. both
personally and politically. And there is
not an individual in Washington, or else
where, wia whom | have conversed on
the subject Of the prominent men oil Mis-.
sisHppi, and | have conFersed with many,
who cannot bear witness that have uni
formly regarded Mr.. Walker as amongst
the frat in point Of talents, attainments,
and political integrity.
II have felt myself in some degree call
ed upon. after the attempt made by Poln-
dexter in the Senate, TO destroy his char
sstsr at Washington, where he was not
known, TO speak Of him as my information

teraeting the calumny to'which | knew he
was suhjected in consequence oil the zeal
and ability with which he supported my
administration, as well as the personal
friendship which be avowed for me at an

me speak Of MIR. Walker oitcner, probably
than otherwise would, and always advan
