Messrs EDIroRs have read your two articles snti-
tied ReceW Of false theory Of the Constitution Of the
United StGes" with great deal Of satisfaction, and
trust, with some profit. I had supposed that that
theory, up to the present time, and until it again
put forth by Mr. SUMNER, had been abandoned by all
classes of politicians theory, not only false, bat
absurd and ridcuous but it that this doctrine,
like many other troublesome and il-advised innovations,
has come back t plague the INVENTORS for the theory
is as true when applied the fugitive slave law by Mr..
SUMNER as it when applied to the bank by Genera
JACKSON. And those who sang hosannas to the " war
rior President" for interposing his iron w through
such rule Of Interpretation have right to find fault
with Mr. Sumner for catching up the inspiration and
applying it to his hobby the fugitive slave law 1t
true and as well applied in in the other but
false in both and subversve Of the very foundation Of
all law and responsible government.
have also just finished the reading of Mr.. Sum
ners letter of October 22 in reply you together with
your comments upon his letter. *s \
As he began by basng this strange doctrine upon the
authority of Gen. Jackson if he had contented himself
with letting it rest upon that authority instead of at
tempting to justify it by any arguments of his own he
would have disarmed the public indignation of half its
force but having endorsed the draft he makes himself
liable for the full amount without any funds Of the draw
er in his hands to meet it. As prudent he should
at least have endorsed it without recourse" But
protest against visiting this nquitous doctrine exclu
svey upon the head of Mr.. Sumner who, in my judg-
ment is far less reprehensble than Gen. Jackson for
always had the charity believe that Gen. jackson knew
better hope and trust that this controversy win not
be without its beneficial results. trust that it will
show to all political extremists the danger Of taking the
responsibility to effect isolated purpose, when the
influence of that precedent may be seized upon and
wrested to other purpose, the time little thought
of or intended. This doctrine of the celebrated veto
message and the doctrine Of the honorable Senator alike
find little response in New England.
