SIR have received your letter of the Sth instant,
in which you ask to state ''what opportunities |
have had of knowing your opinions in regard to the
value of the Union, and what | understand them
to be.
In the course of the last twelve years have very
met with you while attending several of the Courts in
which you presided and still more often in the soc-
ETY. of Norfolk and Williamsburg We have travel
led together; have had the pleasure of seeing you
at my house and my office; and we have correspond
ed by letter 1t has rarely happened that on any of
these occasions political topics were not the subject
of conversation particularly the measures of General
Jacksons administration. On these, in connexon
with notification and on the subject of abolition
have often heard you express your opinions, boldly
and warmly, yet it never occurred to me that YOU
were foe to the Union On the contrary, Ihave re-
garded your strong opposition to the Proclamation
abolition and the many other subjects have heard
you discuss, sprnging from your attachment to the
Union, whose integrity you considered to be in dan
ger from the doctrines which you opposed.

my evidence, leaving the world to judge of its i'm

A. P. Upshur and heard him In conversation on the

heard him speak of disunion The first time heard
it was struck with establishment, and drew nearer

From General (no,c Judge, Bayly, Of .4ccomac.
RICHMOND, February 10, 1912.
My DEAR SIR: have read Mr.. Philip Harrison's
letter. contained in Mr. Bolts publication, with
amazement--not that think it sustains Mr.. Bolts
the fact that it falls short of doing so, is itself
matter of surprise. For, coming from inveterate
Federast, Of Mr.. Harrson's gloomy disposition,
expected that his imagination would have distorted
your opinions more than it has But considering the
character of the conversations which he Details and
his near relationship to Mr.. Botts amazed that
he should have consented to come fully before the
country as witness. And | am still more amazed
that, in a statement purporting to be minute and
circumstantia he should have fallen into such gross
inaccuracy as he has, at least in instance, viz
He says that the conversation which he details took
place in November of the first second year of Mr..
Van Buren's adminstration-his only doubt seems to
be whether it the first second. Now, Judge
Barbour at that time could not have been going to
Norfolk to hold the District Court for before that
time he Justice of the Supreme Court. And
am told that he never in Norfolk after General
Jackson conferred upon him that appointment.
| do not know that you will undertake to prove a
negative But should you and my testimony be OF
any use, it is at your service You and have beer
neghbors. | have practsed law in your courts evel
since have been at the bar. During the session O.
dned with you nearly every day and very frequent
ly we spent the evenings together. On these occa
sons politics most frequently the subject of con
versation. You and have entertained very nearly
the same political sentiments; and representing fol
six years an adjoining county to your own, we have
conversed and correspondent freely, particularly il
reference to questions affecting the stability of thu
Union. And | declare that if you ever entertained
such sentiments as Mr. Bolts attributes to you they
were concealed from me.
Very truly your friend,

MIR. UPsHUR's LETTER.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 10, l6l.

WAsHlNdToN, Feb. 10, 1912.
DEAR Sir : think il due TO YOU at this time, to
sare YOU that have yet seen nothing to chang.
my convictions respecting your opinions ana aVo""'
ofthem on the subject OF the dissolution OF the ohoh
and to declare that have had for the last ten years
the best opportunities under almost all circumstances,
of knowing perhaps better than any other person not
of your family what your opinions on tha' SUD
iect have been and what has been your mode OF adj
vocating and advancing them.
Durino the severe contest IN 1882 ana 1883 IN the
Williamsburg Cong ressional District of Virginia, be-
tween the Hon. Richard Coke and myself the test
question was that of qualification. was the ardent
and devoted opponent OF that doctrine, and perhaps
nowhere and at no time was an Issue ever more tho
roughly and zeaousy discussed than was then the ef
ecis and tendencies of notification upon the ques-
tion of union or disunion on a citizen of the
district, and debated the questions involved IN the
very frequently and fully publicly and private
ly, with me and with Others and often warmly You
opposed my election and advocated the election OF Mr..
Coke who did not approve OF the course OF South Ca
rona under the circumstances, but who advocated
the doctrines on which the State based her conduct
And | must say, that at no time in the most heated
moments of the struggle-a struggle which ragged o
fercey as TO bring my opponent and myself, unfotu
nately TO a scene which we both now regret-dld !
ever hear YOU or any else advance any sentiments
or expressions all assmIlated to those which are
now most unjustIy, | think, attributed to you. 80
far from avorng countenancing the doctrine OF Gs-
that disunion the tendency of your opinions and
doctrines you invariably denied the position, and at
tempted to show that they, and they only were CON
sentative of the Union and were commended to you
and to others for that especial reason.
Such were your opinions in 1883, when nulilhca-
ton was contested throug bout Virginia have known
them TO be the same since. have had converse
tons it'll you every fall and spring, whilst attending
your conrts subject; have read all your writings
on the subject; have never agreed, and always de
battd with you the subject knew your course es
pecaly in 1886 when we both supported the election
OF Hugh Lawson White, of Tennessee, strong
Union man as ever Washington himself was, for the
Presidency have been intimately familiar with your
opinions and course since; and yet never did
hear you declare any sentiment EXPRESSION at any
Time under pny circumsa noes, similar to those men
toned or inferred by Messrs. Harrison and Braxton
And still, firmly ever, believe that those per-
must have incorrectly put their own differences
the place of your declarations and their true mean
ing. Very truly yours,
HENRY A. WISE.
