spirit much TO be commended in political dis
cussion. 1t defines Mr.. Aldrich's own position
clearly, and we do not see that it affects any
essential statement of Mr. Carter:
For the Spy.
MEssns. EDIroRs ;--On returning to this
city yesterday, after a few days absence,
read in your paper of that day, an article cop
led from "1he Commonwealth, purporting
to be communication from MI. Robert Car
ter, and in which he gives an account of the
proceedings of the Convention, recently as
sembled i'll this place. From the tone of Mr..
Carter communication, and the general ac-
curacy Of its statements, | am not at liberty
to believe that he intended TO give any other
than a fair and impartial narrative of the
events, concerning which he writes, so far as
he understood and recollected them. But he
has, in two or three particulars, done me in
justice, inadvertently, have no doubt; and
| deem it of some Importance to myself, it can
be of but little consequence to any one else,
to correct the errors into which he has fallen.
propose to do this in the briefest space posi-
BILE, and i'll such manner as to provoke no
reply, or give rise to any controversy, for in
my humble Judgment, if there is any one
thing to be more deprecated than another, it
would be the renewal of the party strife and
have characterised the politics Of this State,
during the last six or seven years.
My first objection to Mr.. Carriers account,
is, that he does not state, as he should have
done, that the two resolutions, submitted by
me to the Committee, were not intended as a
substitute for his whole series, but only for
so many of his resolutions as related to the
organization Of a new party: this | stated to
the Committee, and il Mr.. Carter had so I'M
derstood me, he could hardly have said as he
does near the close Of his communication, that
he and others did not come to Worcester mere
ly to pledge themselves to re-elect nine wings,
sc. | should not, myself, have been satisfied
with the adoption of those two resolutions
aud no more. was in favor of giving de-
cided and full expression to the anti-savery
sentiments of Massachusetts men, and then to
adopt the most effectual measures for render
ing those sentiments potential in the Federal
Legislature.
Mr.. Carter correctly represents Mr.. Latin,
as approving the resolutions, offered by him,
with the slight notifications named, except
the one in favor of the abolition of slavery in
the District Of Columbia. He (Mr. L.
liked it himself, but thought it would repel
some Democrats" Mr.. G. then adds: "Mr.
Aldrich at first conceded with Mr.. Latin, but
finally voted for the resolution" Now, this
| conveys to the reader, an impression that
notonlv conceded with Mr.. +. in opposinq
the resolution, but that l was also influenced
by the same feason than which nothing can
be more erroneous. When Mr. Carriers res
olutons were first read, L said in general
terms, that l thought they descended too
much into detail; and in regard to that one
fayoring the abolition of slavery in the Dis
trct had always folt that tbe nosition taken
bv Mr. dams mon that subject was inst.
