Wv
o. Statesman:
DEAR SIR:
Knowing that you must be
very anxious to hear from me Rgain, in
continuation of the interesting cores
pondence you did me the honor to com.
mence through your paper, from Wosh
iDgton City, hasten TO address you
another letter. II would have appeared
sooner, but | have awaited patiently for
your promised Review" which has this
ONE arrived, You will pardon ME,
therefore, for the delay.
1t is no matter Of surprise, that you
do not understand my objections TO the
political movements of yourself and
others affiliated with you, in reference
10 the currency; nor is it strange that
you should endeavor to make your rea.
ders believe that ! am coming to" and
''backing Out" from my former positions.
The want Of understanding may be i'm.
puted TO your 'ignorance' of the sub
ject, and The misrepresentation Of my
course to your want of ability 10 meet
the objections. It is difficult to make a
boy who has barely mastered The funda.
mental rules Of arithmetic, comprehend,
ed the mode of solving a problem in
Euclid; and it is equally difficult for one
who is ignorant OF the history Of the
past, and unlaught in those lessons of
wisdom, which are acquired by a long
and profound study Of the science Of
Governmen,-to comprehend the force
ot an argument, that rests upon elemen.
tary principles with which he is totally
unacQuainted. 1t is one thing TO pos
sesS the tact and cunning necessary to
edit a partisan newspaper; to pervert
and mlsrepresent the sayings and doing:
OF adVersaries, and put a fair face upon
the movements Of our friends; but is 6
very different affair to exhibit the talent
the experience, The political knowledge
and the prudence required to govern 6
million and a half Of people. That yol
possess some qualifications for aiding
your party TO obtain power, will be Od-
