WASHINGTON, FEB. IL, lS42.
SIR: have this moment received your note of yes
terday addressed to me- together with several other
gentlemen of the notification party of South Carroll
ma propoundng certain inquiries.
In regard to the objects and designs of the nullifca
ton party, have already thought it expedient in
consequence of the imputations to which you allude
to vindicate them in communication to the "lntelli-
gencer'' and the ''Independent," signed "a member
of the South Carolina Legislature from 1923 to 1888
to which beg leave to refer you.
To show to what extent am able to assume the le-
sponsbl,y of speaking, well for others for my
self in regard to any purpose of disunon in that con-
test beg leave to state that, at my instance, the
House of Representatives of South Carolina raised
standing committee Federal relations, whose pecu-
liar duty to take cognzance of the controversy
with the General Government and that l was chair
man of it until the contest terminated This position,
of course, made me acquainted with all the measures
proposed, and brought me in communication with tho
chief actors in the politics of that day My residence
was at the seat of Government, which afforded me an
oppor unity of extensive intercourse with every sec
ton of the State and with the leading men OF every
quarter of it, In endeavorng to propagate our Prin,
ciples and rouse the people to their maintenance

from one extremity Of the State to the other, With
