TO JAS. s. GREEN, ESQ.
desire to PROFOUND 10 you few ques-
tions: have been voter since the days Of
Gen. jackson, and have never given any
other than Democratic vote for President,
Governor or member to Congress; my heart
was in the effort 10 unite and harmonize the
Democratic party in the late conventions at
Jefferson City, and have been induced TO
believe, that you were mainly instrumental
in preventing aunion Of the party at that
time. l think may safely say, that the
vote of two thousand Democrats will depend
on the answers to the questions propoun-
ded, and you may answer them on the
stump, or through the newspapers. pre-
fer the latter, SO that there may be no mis-
take, as to whether you or my informants
are wrong.
Question LIST. On your arrival, on Sum-
day evening at Jefferson City before the
convention met, on the next day, did not
Willard P. Hall, and other gentlemen of the
anti Benton party, who were earnestly
seeking union of the party, urge upon you
to lend your influence to bring about this
result, and were you not assured that you
could accomplish it, but without your ex-
ertions all their efforts 10 unite the party,
must fail? Did you not answer, that you
would take no step in the matter, for the
purposes they requested? Instead of res
bonding to these honorable efforts TO unite
the party, did you not get your friends and
wire-wor >ers of the party together in eau
Gus on Sunday night, and there urge upon
them in speech that the plan of operations
was for the party 10 which you belonged,

resentatives- appoint your offcers-lay
down your PLATFORM make yonr nomina-
lions and adjourn, and never, so far as any
action Of your convention was concerned, let
it be known that there was convention Of
the Benton Democracy in the other end OF
the Capitol? Did you not urge that no
terms of union or harmony must be offered
by your party? that if as Democrats the
, Benton party choose to come in and act with
you that they might come, but that no terms
> should be proposed by you3 Did you ever
raise your voice in the convention in favor
j of union of the party? When the propo'
0 sition for union was made by the Bentor
= wing of the democracy, did you, in any
manner, give your countenance or support
to the honorable terms proposed? And fl
