| CONCORD. N. H.. July 16, 1852
My Dear Si-1t is impossible that charge should
brace more direct attack upon truth than that with
which the wing papers have teemed, in relation my
sentiments upon the religious tests contained in State
| Constitution, which adopted in 1892 and never
amended since. The charge is contradcted by every
word and act of life having reference the question
IN any FORM directly or colateray advocated the cal
OF the Convention for the amendment of the Constu
ton, which assembled in November, 1850 and the
prominent object in my mind to strike out the unus
and odous provisions commonly called the religious
property qualification tests from fundamental law
In haste your obedient servant
