HOUSE, OF REPRESENTATIVES, May II, 1850.
GENTLEMEN: The articles which you have recently
published in relation to the proposal to establish
paper this city, devoted exclusively TO the discussion
Of the constitutional rights Of the South calculated to
do me great injustice among your friends in Missouri
and therefore respectfully beg leave to make this brief
explanation.
As one indiydua concurred with many others in the
proprey OF having paper OF that description and the
object in vew and the motives by which was influenced
these, and these only Seeing there was growing
sentiment the northern States against the institution of
slavery, leading them attack II various shapes both
and out of Congress, and having confidence IN the
virtue and capacity of the masses, North and South.
believed that fair and manly exposition OF the subject
would do much to correct the false that exist
in relation it, and bring the public mind proper APP
probation of rights under the constitution 10 spread
the arguments and appeals which should be made before
the people, without distinction OF party, is ndspensa
Bile TO have paper not connected with party politics.
Other interests have their special advocates Agrcu
ture, manufactures arts and sciences, NC, and even
abolition, all have their exclusive papers; and the
facilities for reasoning with the public should be extended
us And surely the sacred right OF free discussion
will not be denied from the simple fact that the vehicle
OF dissemination is entirely separated from party preju
man. wing democrat political paper is absorbed
with the questions oil party politics that cannot besow
thai time, space, and attention to the discussion OF this
subject which IFS merits and importance demand; and
even If il could, would be excluded from the
other OF the two great parties. The proposed paper will
obvisie thai difficulty and afford medium through which
all may be addressed therefore most heartily approve
the proposition, and believe will render important
vice counieracting the efforts OF aboonsis and their
''adjuncfs" Ii Is, however, due 10 you, well
self 10 say that. while this is my understanding OF the
subject, there expressions in the address to
which you allude that do not approve.
