sec that you charge Mr. WISE upon the information
OF others, with saying that Mr. Clay Is favorable To the
Aboluonists- am satisfied there must be some mistake
M s-l regret deeply that MIR. Clay and Mr. Wise have
differed, and suspect that others blame for

DO not believe he would make any which he
did not believe 10 be true, however msaken-But upon

whom the south may conhdc upon the subject of Abolition
lbeleVe Mr.. Clay Is that man-whatever therefore Mr.
Wise may have said of some OF Mr. Claws supporters
must doubt whether he has said Mr. Clay was an
Ablonisi, himself iavourcd them But YOU surprise me
fully much, when you say that John Quincy Adams
not an Aboton-surey YOU have forgotten much Of his
conduct and especially his late proposition to make the ap
pontmcn Of the Judges of the Supreme Court and IN,
Chief Justice depend upon their being slave holders
