that Col jeff Davis had said in a speech before a con
venon OF his party friends the sth instant the re-
port that be said al Macon that he would not 90 into the
Baltimore Convention is false !" "when the gentleman
asked il would 90 into the Baltimore convention |
about TO answer in the affirmative, when he changed
il into the Union convention, and answered that would
not touch il with ten-ioot pole"
My correspondent also says that have been given as
the author oil that report upon the street Permit 10
ray that can hardly suppose that Col Davis intended to
make with me question OF veracity TO what occurred
between us in Macon and would further add that (
should be pleased 10 believe that Col Davis msun
derstood IN Jackson Il not for the positive language
OF my friend. BE this, however as it may, circum-
stances have made very unwngy, the proper person
10 meet the assertion OF Col Davis
Enclosed you will find a correspondence between my.
self and OF citizens OF them the prominent
political friends OF Col Davis, land all OF them demo-
Gratis That correspondence willing shall 60 before
the public without word OF comment am quite cer-
tain that what has been stated by these gentlemen would
be agreed to- in substance, by all who heard the discus
sion The truth Is, am no more responsible for the re-
pon than any othei gentleman present All must have
understood the position Col Davis that day assumed
Since the period OF that discussion, that particular por
ton OF the controversy has been subject OF almost daily
conversation among citizens There be no mistake
about ft--ihcfe rs none
In conclusion, must be permitted TO say that no such
question that contained in the latter part OF the quota
tion from Col Dayss Jackson speech propounded
him by and to add the most emphatic manner that
no such reply was given by him as IS attributed TO him in
that speech.
