DEAR SIR: In your paper OF the sth inst, perceive
reference myself which founded in an error which
have less hesitation in correcting because OF the comp-
mentary terms and distinguished company with which
my name is connected. alude to this paragraph:
There a time, is true, when Qutman's position
was obnoxious TO the democratic party Of the State Pre-
vious of Congress Of 1887 he occupied
the position OF the patriotic Calhoun and his peculiar
friends position of temporary disagreement estrange
ent from the gte at body the party In this
he was associated with many OF the greatest Of the
South democrats oo) and with many In Mississippi who
now and have long been considered among the rmes
and soundest democrats in the State-Judge O. r. Smith,
Dr.. Lpscomb, Jefferson Davis, Dr. Hagan, T. b. Wood
ward and the Hon. Joseph w. Chalmers and the lanened
Col. Andrew l.. Martin, then OF Tennessee"
AT the time referred to had taken other part poll
tics than by casting my vote, and neither before nor
since have had any political associations which placed
me in the position OF estrangement to the great body OF
the democratic party My first vote in favor OF
General jackson for President At subsequent periods
have supported for the same Office Van Buren, in 1885,
Van Buren, in ls40-Polk in 1s44-and Cass in ls4s.
Political inconsistency is thing Of very little import
ance TO any other than the individual concerned, and
cept where political principle is involved dependent
upon circumstances and association to afford evidence
OF merit
From my childhood was attached to General Jackson
My confidence and respect for him increased in after
years My affection and admiration followed him to the
grave, and cling to his memory This feeling induces
me to trouble you with the above correction.
Very respectfully your friend, &c,
