REPLY OF C. R. MoBLEY.
OGDEN, Riley County, X. T., }
September Is, 1850. {


Messra Fred. Emory, W. G. Matthias
and others Gentlemen: In reply to your
circular, dated 18th inst, have to make
the following statement:
Having been sent from this county as a
member of the Lecompton Constitutional
Convention, l attended its first meeting
The subject of submitting the Constitution
to the people was at once privately discus
sed, and | am satisfied that majority Of
the members were opposed to such course,
but before any vote was taken upon this
point an adjournment was had, and l was
absent for few days after the resembling
of the Convention.
Soon after my arrival the question of
submission was again talked about; John
Calhoun. President of the Convention, ap-
preached me with the remark that he un-
derstood that | was In favor Of submitting
the Constitution to the people. ItOld him
l was. He then invited me to a conference
of those favoring that measure, at his room,
in the evening. 1 attended the caucus,
but when the plan of pariaL Submission,
the plan finally adopted, was advO-
vOcated and generally sustained, | inform
ed them that | could not support such a
plan, and withdrew.
The question next arose in the Convon-
ton, and when the plan of partial submis-
sion was on the floor, l offered as an amend
ment that the Who'll. Constitu ion should
be submitted, and that the ballots, instead
of reading. For the Constitution with
out Slavery" should read, For the Consti-
tuition" and Against the Constitution,
and, in support of my amendment, L de-
nounccd the dodge submission" as term
ed it, saying that no friend of the Union,
nor true Democrat, could support what
was a cheat and a swindle, designed to
split the Union, and that no statesman of
any foresight could countenance it, and that
Congress could not approve it, but spurn it.
Mr. Calhoun again invited me, with one
or two others, to his room, and, knowing
that l was an admirer of the political
course and character of Mr.. Douglas, he
said ''he wished to convince me that | was
about the way statesmen regard
ed the plan of partial submission and
thereupon read letters which purported to
be written by Stephen A. Douglas. and
which recommended that precise plan. l
merely replied that might be deceived as
to who are great statesmen, but that that
letter could not convince me as to what was
true policy. l heard that letter sPOsen of
freely. and frequently afterward, and l am
satisfied that the plan of partial submission
would not have been adopted by the Con-
veutiou. if it had not been for the influence
Of that letter.
Yours, truly, c. p. MoBLEY.

meut to the people, as it was submitted, |
was shown letter by the Hon. John Cal
hOun, addressed to him by the Hon. Steph-
en- A. Douglas. That letter suggested and
urged the plan of submission adopted by
that Convention, approving the COnstitu-
ton as then agreed upon, which had been
submitted to him. and pledging himself to
pass the Constitution through Congress. if
we would insert the clause Of submission
which we did insert. This letter was de-
clared by General Calhoun to. embody the
entire sentiments of Judge Stephen A.
Douglas, and that the entire plan of the
Constitution was suggested in this letter.
and that the plan of submission was want
ing to make the Constitution emphatically
a Douglas measure. On examination of
the letter, found in it veri6cation Of all
that General Calhoun had told me. Up
to the time of seeing tins letter, ] had op-
posed the plan of submission, but in view
of the pledge of Senator Douglas to put it
through Congress if submitted in the man
ner it was, 1 then supported the COnstitu-
ton, after the Adjournment Of the Conyen-
ton. with the submission clause and all
Shortly after, Senator S. A. Douglas
took position on the LecomptOn COnstitu-
ton. l met Gen. Calhoun at Leavenworth
City, and referred to Senator Douglas
course, and his letter above referred to-
Gen. Calhoun, in reply. said that Judge
Douglas had betrayed US, and if it had
been sworn to before he would not have
believed it, until he saw and read Senator
Douglas action in Congress.
l lived in Illinois seventeen years, was
personally acquainted with Judge S. A.
Douglas, have received great many COM
munieations, documents. ETC.. from him
under his frank, and l am well acquainted
with his handwriting. know the letter
alluded to was the handwriting Of Judge
S. A. Douglas.
l have been uniformly and invariably
his friend and sup; Orter, until he took his
position on the Lecompton Constitution.

c. 10 TnRn

LEAvENwoRTH CRY. X. T.,
Sept. Is, 1860.
Sir: The Democratic Association Of
Leavenworth being informed that the course
publicly pursued by Stephen a. Douglas
in regard to the Lecompton Constitution,
is inconsistent with advice privately given
to his particular friends in this Territory
which advice controlled their actions-have
thought proper to appoint the undersigned
a Committee to investigate the facts
They need not refer to the momentOus
issues now before the country, to advise
you of the importance of this inquiry
The integrity of the Democratic party
nay. the permaneney of the Union itself,
are involved in the contest now going on.
We. therefore, make no apology for adj
dressing you the following inquiries, and
request that YOU will answer them at your
earliest convenience:
lst. Did you, or not, before or during
the session of the Lecompton Constitution
al Convention. or after the adjournment of
the same. see a letter addressed to John
Calhoun. President of said Convention, or
to any one else, by Mr.. Douglas, in which
he Mr.. Douglass suggested the plan of
submission which was adopted by said Con-
vention, or signify that such plan of sub
mission would meet his approval?
ID. Did not John Calhoun, the Presi-
dent of the LecomptOn Convention, inform
you that letter had been received from
Mr. Douglas, in which was foreshadOwed
a plan of submission. and was not the plan
finally adopted the same that was under
stood to be the plan of Mr Douglas?
Sd. Did you. or not, in conversation
with Mr.. Calhoun, or with any one, whose
political and personal relations towards
Mr.. Douglas and Mr.. Calhoun authorize a
belief that such person spoke authoritative
ly. learn that a plan of submission had
been indicated by Mr.. Douglas, and was it
not understood that if the plan thus indi-
Gated was adopted he (Mr. DOuglas) would
support and sustain it in Congress?
4th Aside these questions thus form
ally put, we solicit from you any infOrma-
ton touching the object of these inquiries,
which you may have in our power to COM
municate.
We beg leave to inform you that copy
of these interrogatOries has been addressed
to each member of the Lecompton Conven-
ton, and that copies have also been sent
to a number of other gentlemen believed to
pO .sess valuable knowledge in this connec
ton.
Please address your reply to the under

stated by Mr.. Douglas, in the letter before
spoken Of, that if the plan which he Doug
las) had advised should be approved BY
the Convention, that he (DOuglas) would
pledge its passage through Congress. And
in order that what little [ could do towards
bringing this plan about might be done,
Mr.. Calhoun invited my cooperation, but
| did not 60 to LecOmptOn during the sit
ting of the Convention.
After the LecomptOn Constitution had
been framed, the Democratic party assem-
bled in Convention at Leeompton for the
purpose of nominating State ticket Du
ring the sitting of that Convention. Gener-
al Calhoun. desiring me, against my wishes.
to accept the nomination for Lieutenant
Governor, and. seeming to suppose that my
indispOsitiOn to accept arose from doubts
as to ultimate success, frequently and en-
phatically assured me that Mr.. Douglas
would stand by the Constitution in Con-
gress and would in no event abandon ''us -
Hence We made the canvass with strong
hopes.
A short time before the meeting of the
Charleston Convention, L saw Mr.. Cal
houn's eldest son in Leavenworth City. and
asked him whether his mother was in pos
session of the letter referred to, and he re-
piled that she was. | then suggested to
him my intention of addressing her let
ter requesting it of her, for the purpose Of
using it in the present political contest, if
necessary. He said l could get it. l did
address letter to Mrs Calhoun, and in
response letter was addressed to Oliver
Diefendorf, Esq, of Leavenworth City, by
one of her children.
This letter l saw and had in my own
hands, and in substance it stated that Mrs.
Calhoun lad dlready been offered the sum
of two thousand dollars for the letter in
question, and that she hesitated to part
with it. on account of reasons Of her own
which | shall not repeat. [ suggested to
Mr.. Diefendorf Mrs Calhoun brother
in-law) to advise her to hold on to it, as it
had become an important political docu-
ment.
What became of the letter am not pre-
pared to say. Yours truly. &c,

should be known in this Territory and to
