JeTe Clemens -Wr0ng aa UalaI.

Jere Clemens is one of those men who gene
rail- get hold of the wrong end of story, and
proceeding upon the false premises conjured up
by himself forthwith makes a great to do about
nothing His late letter TO MIR. N. Davis of
huntsville, strongly illustrates this procliyity |
of Jerry.
He asserted in this letter that he had heard
Gen. Pierce express surprise that the Nebraska
bill was not warmly supported by the North
and equal astonishment that the South should
be in favor Of il, with sundry other absurd state
ments.
We knew that Jerry would be "picked up
on this letter. and have to ''cave in" as it was
impossible that the President could have used
such ridiculous anil maudlin expressions. Our
belief has heen verified and Jerry has caved
in,' as the l. flowing letter plainly shows
WAsHlEeToN, u. c., March "a, 1854.
DEAR STE; You have calico my attention to
a late letter Of mine to NJ DaEis, jr., Esq, and
paItieulOrly to the following sentence
ssHe expressed great surprise at the opposition
Itmet from the North, and equal surprise that
the .uth should be willing to take it,"
| At the time the conversation TO which that
sentence alludes took place was walking back
wards and forwards across the room, and should
not have noticed it If you had not remarked
| that you had no conceal aments upon the subject
and that you were glad was present to hear IT,
| In my letter TO Mr.. Davis did not pretend TO
| give your language, except where quotation
marks are used, and, from subsequent converse.
| ton with you, think it very probable that
misunderstood the purport of your remarks np-
on this particular point. Your surprise may
have been expressed that the true men of the
North should hesitate to vote for Douglass bill
when the South we're willing to take it, and if ]
i had paid attention to the whol- conversation |
doubt not such would have been the impression
left on my mind.
have never soughta conversation with you
upon the subject of the Nebraska BILL but every
time have heard you mention the subject you
have uniformly expressed yourself warmly in
favor of the principle of the bill, viz the prin-
ciple OF the right of the people Of the Terrific
ries to regulate the question Of slavery for Them
lselves--a doctrine from which dissented and
Isought no discussion Of the question.
You have assured me always that you tbonght
it best f,sr the whole country, and insisted that
patriotic men in both sections ought To take il.
| thought the South must be the loser. / think
so now, understood you 70 place II upon the
ground that the principle is right in itself and
tif il works for against particular section no
one has right TO complain, that you were fOI
the rights of both sections and willing to take
any consequences that might follow the practi
cal carrying out of those rights as you under
stood them
