BENTON, July 9th 1851.


My DEAR SIR When had the pleasure of
seeing you in Lexington, few weeks since,
you gratifed me highly by avowing your entire
opposition to the assembling of the proposed
Southeri Congress, and by authorizing me to
make that fact public if | chose to do So.
Stree that period have referred to your change
of position upon this point repeatedly in public
speeches. As this is the only really practical
point left open between the two parties ow
contending for victory in Mississippi, or at least
may be fairly regarded as embracing all others !;
trust you will allow an old and warmly at
tached friend to enquire whether Your views
have undergone any change since we last net, or
whether you agree with me in being utterly op-
posed to the sending ofdelegates from our own
State to that Congress, and spprehend there
from the most deplorab'e consequences.
| am now, as have ever been, your devoted
friend, II. s. FOOTE.
