By the personal, repeated and earnest request of
Mr.. Whitfield, take occasion to correct some msap-
prehensiors which are abroad, in reference TO his po
siion in the recent tvass and election he ahrms,

position takenb BY Cas- in the Nicholson letter. which
position he then occupied. Also in regard TO the
port that he recently purchased slave III Missouri,
60 that bis position on that question should be
quivocal, he wishes it understood that the report is
false and that he does not slave in the world.

if by any act of NINE these false reports have been
the means of doing him injury. But in reference to
both these points, when il is known that he is Pro-
Slavery in principle favor both of holding slaves
and of making Kansas Slave State, apprehend that
the fact that he does Lot now happen to own slave,
that he did not aise the question Of Slavery in the
recent canvass will not be of any very material
