81 viii not pretend 70 say what Mr..
Ba;.s can prove but ! assert. in the
most direct and unqualified manner, that
he cannot prove the truth Of his charge
against me, BIZ any witness who Is him
self man Of truth. | understand that
charge TO be that am. or have been. the
advocate az an immediate dissolution Of
The Union.' without qualifications or con-
diiions. have never, al any time Of my
life, entertained any such opinion or feel
Ing. On the contrary, have, on all oc-
casions. advocated union upon the true
principles of the constitution, and have
sought TO recommend my own principles,
upon the ground that they were conser-
valiye Of the constitution and the Union.
This is well known 10 you, for with you
4 hare had conversations "lor hours"
upon this very subject. You say correct
ly that have "prinied and published my
opinions under almost every form Of adj
dress, essay, pamphlet, and book" and
if any thing can be found in any one Of
these publications to justify the charge Of
Mr.. Bolts, | will surrender The point"
Now. we shall see hereafter whether he
!" surrenders the point or not. Mr.. A.
further read as follows:
81 think il almost certain, although I
cannot recall any particular occas on on
which il occurred, that | have expressed
a decided preference for dissolution Of,
the Union over the establishment of sys
TENS Of policy which regarded as fatal
TO all true liberty. | avow the same opin-
ion now. | would sooner see the Union
dissolved than witness the success OF this /
very abolition movement: would sooner
see il dissolved, than witness the estab-
lishment Of a consolidated government,
with all power and all right in the hands
Of an uncontrolled and irresponsible ma
jority; 1 would sooner see il dissolved
than witness the establishment of any
principles which violate its true character
and defeat its legitimate objects. These
opinions | am very certain that ! have Of
Ten 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" --. .-
Ills " decided prsfrrence"-f what!
For high treason! A laugh. No. For
subnrna,ion of perjury! NJ. "For a
dissolution Of the Uni"n!" Laughter.
