have had Two or three interviews with
Judge Williams on tho subject named

Governor. 1t would have suited me
better, had he been a candidate for Con
gress, and so | told him. l should pre-
fer now that he be elected to represent
this District in Congress. Judge Will
Jams told me something like this, if not
in these words IF the Wings would
present Juge Mattocks, or some other
man as candidate for Governor, who
would do honor to the state, and was
ready to withdraw his political support
from shareholders, he (Williams) should
prefer declining, if his friends would
consent to it, i'll have represented any
different to any one, it was not designed.
And If Judge Williams understood the
matter in any different light, will thank
him to state hon he understood, that this
may correct any misrepresentation have
labored under. | have visited Peacham,
and tarried with Mr.. Matttocks over
night. While there, was very agree

however by the adcice or aid Of any one,
but went on my own hook, and without
appointment, just as did to Montpelier
last fall! On my wayto Peacham con-
versed with number of liberty men
told, or meant to tell, the talk | had had
with Mr.. Williams, and enquired wheth-

to cut loose from supporting slave hold

Is this ambush-man afraid he could not
have so good success 1here' His sig

(5) Not exactly so. The main part
of my subscribers, are men who win not
be very likely to vote for Henry Clay,
or any other stakeholder. The list Of
subscribers to the Voice is not very

(G) | think quite likely l shall advo-
cate the election of Mr.. Mattocks as
strongly this year, as | did Mr. Pane's
last year. Although condemned the
p0rty principle, yet voted for Judge
Williams. did not do it because he
was nominated by either of the parties
but because, taking all lhings into the
account, | preferred him to any other
one nominated. Yet after had had
few interviews with Mr. Paine, found
him to be more orthodox on anti-slave-
