Each has his fault, to which he clings
In spite of shame or fear.

A sot had lost health, mind and purse;
And truly, for that matter,
Sots mostly lose the latter
Ere running half their course
When wine, one day, of wit had filled the room,
His wife enclosed him in spacious tomb.
There did the fumes evaporate
AT leisure from his drowsy pate.
When he awoke he found
His body wrapped around
With grave clothes, chill and damp
Beneath dim, sepulchral lamp
How's this my wife widow sad
He cried, and ghost dead dead
Ihereat his spouse with snaky hair.
And robes like those the fures wear.
With voice to fit the realms below,
Brought boiling caudle toh bier
For Lucfer the proper cheer;

have never, at any time of my life, entertained any
such opinion or feeling. On the contrary, have or
all occasions, advocated union upon the true princi

This is well known TO you, for with you Ihape had
conversations "for hours upon this very subject
You say correctly, that l have "printed and pub
lished my opinions under almost every form Of
address, essay pamphlet and book and if any
thing be found in any of these publications to
Justify the charge of Mr. Bolts, will surrender the
point
think il almost certain, although cannot recall
any particular occasion on which il occurred, that
have expressed decided preference for dissolution
OF the Union over the establishment of systems OF
policy which regarded fatal to all true liberty.
avow the same opinion would sooner see the
Union dissolved than witness the of this very
| abolition movement; would sooner see it dissolved,
than witness the establishment Of consolidated Go
vernmen with all power and all right in the hands
Of an uncontrolled and irresponsible majority; |
would it dissolved than witness the estab-
lishment of any principles which violate its true
character and defeat its legitimate objects. These
opinions am very certain tha have often eXpressed'
and shall often express them hereafter. But, that
| am, or ever have been disunionist, in any other
sense than is here expressed, is utterly untrue.
Casual expressions, dropped in the offree and
unguarded conversation, are always liable to be mis-
understood. They may be heard by those who have
not heard the limitations, and conditions and quafca-
ions, which previous remarks have put them, and
they may also be heard by those who keep ''records
of private conversations" and who, of course, al
ways hear as they choose to understand. Against
such as these, no one has any defence There should
be- even if there is not sufficient defence for every
gentleman, in that of honor, proprety and deli
cacy, which renders every private conversation a
matter of implied confidence.
Very truly, your friend,
A.. p, UPSHUR.

extremely anxious that il should, as |, ought, be
kept holy. The time was, when the person oc-
