cr1 Address; and I now approve
every word contained therein. 1t is
/ true, l did forward q letter $fiem Mr..
Calhoun to my. own State Which pro-
posed holding Of the Nashville Con,
llventien, and which marked out to
somo extent thethcn expected nsodas
opsra'tds ofthat bosly. Ittsis true,
also, fas9i have heretofore asserted,
ltliat notfone single word is contained
IN that so,'thesti q Aadfess or IN Air.
