THE BOURBON QUESTION.
Reply or the Rev. Mr.. Hanson 70 sAst. ClaAr.'
TO TIE EDITOR or THE nERALD.

Reply or the Rev. Mr.. Hanson 70 .st. Clair"
TO TIE EDITOR or THE nERALD.
SR-An article appeared in your paper Of the
2lst inst, signed St. Clair, and purporting 10 pro-
coed from the pen of an eminent Western statesman,
who las known the Rev. Eleazer Williams for thirty
wears. Public rumor and internal evidence desig-
nate the author, and the information which have
received leaves no doubt in my mind that the sur
mise is correct. Since distinguished name, apart
from truthfuness of statement streng of reason
ing, carries with it some weight, will, on account
of the source of the communication bestow it the
brief attention of which it is in itself unworthy.
An eminent American statesman, personally init
mate with the French Court in the time Of Louis
Philippe and acquainted also with the Rev. Mr..
Williams, might well be regarded by you as trust
worthy witness in the historic question now in pro-
cess Of debate; and though might find fault with
your summary condemnation Of the motives and
statements of men socially as spectacle % himself
/ forbear to speak harshly concerning an evident
misconception, believing that you have every dis
position to act honorably in a case where not only
historic TRUTH but personal character, is vitality Mt
stake.
As to the writer OF the article, he manifests q
sneering Tone reckless spirit, disregard for the
reputation OF others, and an inaccuracy respecting
facts, which do him little credit as a statesman,
whose distinguishing traits should be caution, dis
cernment, candor, judgment, and correctness There
has been much random writing on this subject, by
men who appear to think that they can assail with
IMMUNITY the character of a gentleman, simply be-
cause his name is coupled with unususl incidents,
that it seems necessary for the sake Of truth and
justice it should be put stop to ifpoble, and the
distinguished Western statesman" who has thought
it not beneath his dignity to attempt to
injure the reputation of one who, according to his
own confession, has always appeared to him " a
worthy man. may easily be made to render eminent
service, though in contrary to bis expecta-
| tions.
Fer the sake Of brevty, viii put in parallel CO.
lumns the statements Of St. Clair, and the simple
! truth
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1853-03-29

After the many mistakes into which st. Clair has
fallen he may perhaps, confess that inaccuracy in
one or two particulars is no proof of intentional
deception; and that If Mr.. Williams should have
misconceiyed the Prince de Joinville in respect to
the presence of Louis Philippe, as well as Philippe
Egalite, at the cabinet counsel referred to- it is no
sign that the whole of the account is apocryphal.
What the Prince probably said was that he had
learned from his father that his grandfather was
present on the occasion However, it is not impos-
sible that child may have been in company, even
an important occasion, with it's parent JAS to the
unmanly insnuations against the character OF Marie
Antoinette, ST. Clair may be merely retailing the
familiar gossip Of Louis Philippe-whose want Of
resemblance to the BourbOns is not mysterious II
umors more probable than those touching the fair
ame of the martyred Queen are to be depended on.
have not followed st. Clair through the whole
series OF q 40 says Mr.. Williams" or examined all
The points in his letter partly because certain por
ions have been already ably replied to by Mr. Genet
ned in the April issue Of Putnam. That much
ests at present on the assertion of Mr.. Williams,
one denies, but the amount is gradually dwindling
to point and in conclusion, would only assure St.
Clair that had found the accuracy of Mr. Williams
as little reliable his, should never have published
q word on the subject. II there be folly in credu-
lily, there is folly also Of incredulity-f there be
wisdom in doubling, there is wisdom also In trusting;
but both in doubling and in trusting, wisdom will
choose her men, and as far as have hitherto gone
have found no cause to question the memory or the
mate of the craftsmanship Of st. Clair il not en-
HANGED by his uncalled for and abortive assault on
private reputation. Mere inaccuracy or miscOncep-
ton ! could have pardoned, but the aninus OF his
letter deserves rebnkc JOHN H. HANSON.
