Whereas, They are precluded by their re-

Letter from Anderson to Weber:
NOVEMBER Il, 1876
DEAR SIR-Since answering p. Is letter
yesterday giving Burk'S proposition, | have
thought that perhaps l might have put my
foot in it. Ii is very possible he may be a
spy, and his letter a blind. However, said
nothing that could criminate either of US
merely stating that | had given Burke the
information as he requested and Burke's
reply. l stated, however, that in case he
saw you to show you my letter and ask your
advice, as we were in accord. No doubt it
wilFbring him to the city, and should he
call act carefully. / doubt if he is able to
substantiate his. statements, and [ would
not give continental for them unless he
can. Have you learned anything about the
high Joint? They are cursing me heavily,
aud assert that | have sold out and am go

Hon. o. Il. Singleton,
Washington, ID. c.,
DEAR SIR Your note of 18th inst, was re-
ceiyed a day or two since. After the lapse of
so many years l would not trust my memory
as to the details of what occurred at the con-
ference TO which you referred in your speech
IN Congress, reported in the Record of March
lst. My general Recollection accords with
your own. without stating facts | may say
in general way, that | did not on the occa-
sion referred to or at any other time under
stand Mr.. Davis as favorng seperate State
action (or secession,) until he was assured
that at heart a majority of the Southern States
were ready to cooperate. | do not think he
dent as alone, justification for secession.
That he was influenced more by the aniHaus
which brought about such result. Though
a secessionist in theory, he never for its
practical application so long he had a hope
for anything like justice in the Union.
Turn TO the Crittenden resolution in the
session o 1860-6l See Congressional Globe.
Mr. Davis would have settled on the basis of
those resolutions Il would mott, if the North
ern party-Seward, Hale, Wilson, Wade Sum
ner, and men like they, had agreed to it and
put themselves on the record.
have in my mind many facts to justify me
in these statements and opinions, most of
which can be sustained by the record, but do
not take interest enough on the subject to write
them dewn.

Mr.. Anderson has had until now a subo--
