HANCOCK AND JONES.

1t having been stated that Hon. G.
w. Jones holds a private letter from
Hon. John Hancock in which he urges
Jones to withdraw from the Congress
sional race and yield the track to him,
Hancock, that the latter might be an
independent candidate, and these facts
having been communicated by John T.
Coffee and others to Judge Hancock,
he writes to them as follows:
Gentlemen-I have received yours of
twenty first instant suggesting that l
meet Col. Jones in public discussion at
Florence on the twenty eighth and at
Circleville on the thirtieth instants,
and speak at Georgetown on the twen-
ty-ninth instant. You will likely be-
fore this have observed that my APP
pointments, made and published be-
fore your letter was written, to speak
at South Gabriel on the twenty-eighth
and Burnet on the twenty ninth in
slant, place it out of my power to be
present at the places and times you In
dictate. Besides, these are Col. Jones's
appointments and neither he nor any
of his friends have manifested any
wish to have joint discussions with
me, though he has been speaking
at a number of places since my
nomination. had hoped for an
invitation from Col. Jones, at
least to his then existing appoint
ments, as he had already been long in
the field; after which we might have
made joint discussions, satisfactory
and convenient to both of US. Not re-
ceiving, as before stated, any intima-
ton, either from Col. Jones or his
friends, of a desire to have JOINT dis
cussions, published the appointments
referred, extending to the twelfth
proximo, and will very cheerfully di-
vide the time with him according to
usage at any or all of them if ne de-
sires.
Col. Jones has no letter written by
me, to him or anyone else, urging him
to yield the track to me to make an in
dependent race for Congress. l must
think partisans of Col. Jones do him
gross Injustice In representing that he
claims to have any such letter. Surely
no such statement as that could be by
the authority of Col. Jones.
If Col. Jones, by himself or through
his friends, will agree to a division of
time at the places named in your letter,
honorable representatives of the Demo-
cratic party will be present to join in
the discussion.
Most respectfully, your obedient SER
want. JOHN HANCOCK.
