In publishih the foregoing letter, regret that
am not authorized to use me name OF tife writer,
because many readers measure all argument and
illustration upon controversial subjects, according
TO very uncertain but arbitrary standards of per-
sonal distinction, or official eminence. With such
persons the elevated character public and private,
of The venerable and distinguished jurist who pen
ned those views, would convey them more impress
sively to such minds if they were associated with
his name. But to a large majority of intelligent
readers, the letter will be read and its views re-
spectully considered on account of their intrinsic
worth, and without regarding it as in any manner
essential to trace the source behind the argument
/ regard the views of my venerable friend
as supplying valuable materials in the defence OF
General Cass from charge of political hostility TO
the governmental policy of Great Britain, which
has been strongly insisted and denounced by
many wing presses in this country.
Very respectfully, WILLIAM l.. POOLE.
