Madison Oc+ II 1850

charges me with having been engaged
"since the adjournment of the Legislatu re
in the disreputable business of retailing
f,lsehoods by private letters to our sol
diers in distant camps for the purpose OF
prejudicing our regiments against the dem
ocratic candidates at home" This charge
is false in every particular have made
no statements to our soldiers in distant
camps or e sewhere that are not strictly
true have in one or two instances, pos
business letters where inquiries have been
made in relation to the matter, given the
reason why the families OF our volunteers
will be deprived of the promised aid from
the State at the time, of all others, when
