Do looking over my letter thus hastily

differs materially from the yieas entertain.
ed by tho sigsclous aud wise men Of that
party With winch have always acted. In
short, II 10 their opinion that National
Bank Gill not, aud oush; not. under existing
circumstances. 20 TO b'oush, forward; and
that the Tariff aud Independent Treasury
laws NUT undergo changes. though there
may be some d'.euly OF opinion a. 10 The
estsu, Of these changes. With reference
10 he !ss. Of these, may further remark
that b., three modes Of keeping and dis.
butsins the public revenue have been Of

after think right. With regafd 10 tho last
subject, tia, Of slavery ia the territories. !
referred particularly TO my speech of the
las, session, quoting from memory subs,an.
tally an extract or tao. This being, us
iatas ! know. the only subjec, on which
those gentlemen regarded Mr. Badger and
mJsefss differing, | considered it as lot,u.
nate for me tia, | had il IN my power to
refer to o full exposition OF my views, made
public several months before HE speech on
the same subject, and thereby relieving me
from Gny suspicion Of having sought TO make
M ISSUE with him on the question as a
means Of defeating him.
AZ Ear ss the propristy Of receiving sup-
port from political opponents 10 concerned.

the gtoo, political parties of,hs State. In

The honorable r. n. Saunders opposed him

minority Of his own party. After nun.

determined to abandon their own nominee

Badger and myself were both present; and

10 him, took the o'hor eide, yet, az soon a.
\! was determined by . very decisive vote
that the party should support Judge Saun.
dss, ,here was a general acquieseence IN
Ne etlar TO carry out the object. The
Wings having thus decided the, il ~as RICH.
