Sir In conformity with the request convened by
your note OF the 9Th instant proceed to state what
opportunity have had of asceraning your opinions
with regard to the value of the Union, and what |
have always understood those opinions to be-
First, as to the opportunity have had of knowing

For several years Of my collegiate life was mem
Der of the family of Judge Beverly Tucker Professor
of Law in the College OF William and MARY Du-
ring the whole of this period you were the presiding
Judge of the Circuit to which the city of Williams
bury belongs; and In your semi annual visits to that
place, ioi the purpose Of holding the courts, Judge
fuckers house was uniformly your home. There it
was that have heard you express yourself in the
fullest and most unresere ed manner, upon all the va
rlous political questions Of the day and have heard
you dlscuss with Judge Tucker the subject of State
and Federal relations repeatedly and warmly With
him, and in common with all the State rights men Of
Virginia, have heard you lament the dangerous and
destructive course of policy pursued by the Federal
Government, and predict the dissolution ofthe Union
as the inevitable consequence Of that ruinous policy.
In advocating the peculiar doctrines which belong to
the creed Of notification have heard you insist that

From The Portland Advertiser.

The Postmaster General has caused certain state
he published in reference to the sagrecment
on mail compensation between the Department and
the Western Railroad from Worcester to A bany
He denies that he ever expressed the opinion that
the mails should be carried ON the same terms asmer
chandise He states that this road is the only one in
New England with which the Department has failed
to satisfactory contract and that he has offered
pay the price in this case as in all the Others
but the company demand more than twice as much
He has also offered to pay 25 per cent more than is
charged by the company to Harnden for the same &C
eommo,lations.
Without further explanations, Mr.. Wickife would
seem to have put this company in the wrong
In this State, all the railroad charters which were
granted in 1886 and thereabouts, contained provi
sion for the adjustment of such differences about the
mailsby arbltration-if recoIlect rightly Although
those chartes have mostly expired, similar provision
will probably be adopted hereafter,

RICHMOND, February IL, 1912.


Sir received your note this morning in which
you request me to say, in reference to the pending
issue between Mr. Bolts and yourself what opportu-
mites have had of knowing your opinions in regard
TO the value of our Union, and what understand
As to my opportunities they have been numerous
for when you lived in Richmond you held the Office
Of CONFERENCE.-The Attorney, and acted as Ser
geont for the Hastings Court As officers of the same
court, we were necessarily very often together And
after you left Richmond and was appointed a Judge,
whenever your duty called you here you were in The
constant practice OF staying with my immediate neigh
hor, your particular friend, Joseph Mayo at whose
house very often visited you, and frequently had the
pleasure OF Your company atmy house.
As 10 your opinions as to the value of our Union y
that subject was very often discussed by you and
9th rs in my presence. We differed in politics upon
all questions except State rights and in your algu
ments upon that have often heard you 20 so far as
to say that than the South surrender her
rights or submit to the abolition doctrine of the North
you would 90 tor dissolution of the Union as much
you deprecated such an event. In no discussion
on the subject, do recolect to have heard you advo
cate dissolution of the States Internationally but
alternative, have often heard you declare that,
as dear as the Union was TO you, you would sooner
dissolve II Than surrender the rights ofthe States and
in that opinion we always agreed.
With due respect, yours,

RICHMOND. Feb. 10, 1870.

RICHMOND, Feb. 10, 1912,
Sir Your note of the 9Th instant is received, in
which you request to state what opportunity
have had of knowing your opinions in regard to the
value of the Union, and what understand them to
be. For the last four years have been the intimate
friend, neighbour and professional associate Of
Joseph Mayo, Esq Of Richmond, whose house du-
ring your sem-annual visits to the General Court
was your home, and on which occasions It was my
habit to spend part of almost every evening at Mr.
Mayo's, where | had an opportunity of holding
peated conversations with you alone, but more fire.
quenty in company with Mr. Mayo and Others around
his treside--the subject of State and Federal rea-
tons being the almost constant theme of discussion
and upon which subject you at all times expressed
yourself in the most free and unreseryed manner
The impression made upon my mind by these repeat
ed Conversations as to your opinions in regard to the
value of our Union that, long as it was kept
within its proper sphere Of action by strict con-
struction of the Constitution, man estimated its
value more highly than yourself have heard you
speak OF the Union as means of securing an object
(the liberty of the country which, when it failed to
secure, you regarded IT longer valuable. have
frequently heard you advocate the doctrine Of Nuli-
cation and insist that ii was the true conservative
principle of our Government
In discussing the subjects Of abolition and the prob
able preponderance of Northern and Eastern inl,l-
ence in the National Legislature / have frequently
heard you express the apprehension that the tendency
of affairs "a tendency which you always dcplored)
was to produce state of things which would render
dissolution of the Union not only desirable but
necessary to the preservation of the liberty of the
South.
These and similar opinions have frequently heard
you express but have never heard you advocate an
unqualified dissolution of the Union.
am, Sir with great respect
Your obedient servant
