his address, be means 70 say mat al
Fised Gen Quitman 10 caIl the specia
session OF the Legislature, it's wnoiil
untrue. And / viii add, thai eonsid
cred the act OF The Legislature al Il
/ previous session required that they
should thus be called together. Tina
on the i4th Of November, 1850, | wa.
INVITED by thirty members of the Sen
ate and House Of Representatives K
Edeliver an address in The Representa-
tives' Hall on the evening OF thai dav
/ IN relation to the measures of the pre-
ceeding Congress, and the state OF pub
] ~ affairs; aaa that accepted the il.
vltatlon, and poke as proposed. These
imputations Gen. (&uitmaa can answer
mere perfectly than another: ana /
leave them to him, with the entire con
idencc that after he shall have noticed
them there Will be nothing left to cav
il about. The true reason ior beIiev-
ilg that i civil war was in contempia-
tiQn in Mississippi, he presents thus:
''Col. Davis had written ! letter in
December last, ia which he urged the
adoption OF measures for putting Mis-
sissipPi in a state Of preparation, sarm-
ed II need be- In his letter he had de-
manded certain additional guarantees
and said
elf these guarantees be granted,
the minority could live in equality an
der the temple ofour federal compact -
&c, DC.
To whom was this letter addressed T?
where mas it been found aud IS hat are
the certain guarantees demanded Can
it be that facts 50 little restrain him,
that he thus describes an answer which
| gave TO certain interrogatories pro
pounded to me by some OF his particu-
lar friends, when we were both in Jack
son last November was Il year ago Z
If so, let any one who deems the mat
ter Of sufficient importance refer TO that
letter, and he will find that | stated ap-
proyingiy what | considered the posi-
ton Of the State, taken in the Connen-
ton OF October, 1919, and bv the Le-
gislature at the succeeding session
And that SO far from looking 10 civil
war, that believed the course ia which
the S tate had started, if followed out,
would never lead 10 that result. But
when he says that demanded certain
additional guarantees, he statas what
am sure Is not contained ia any letter
| ever wrote: because I have always
held that 10 one .of the parties -ennld-
with proFrlety, dscfate 10 others equal
