the truth of the charge, wit that he had made public
speech in opposition the Fugitive Slave Bill the ground
of its conflict with the habeas corpus law and the right Of
trial by Jury He says that he no, only did not make speech
ut the time and place mentioned by Col Richardson, but
that he does not recocct and does believe that he said
one word To any person there the subject Of tho Fugitive
Slave Bill; and that of Col. Richardson's political
friends who present the time and place referred
and who was applied las he has earned by COL Richard
son for information answered that the charge entirely
false. Mr. Williams adds that he has made political
speech since the Presidential election.
The foregoing statement has been communicated by Mr.
Williams the Department OF State, whence he had re-
ceivcd copy of Col. Richardson's letter
In his letter me- he goes say that since The
