At the risk of being wearisome but en<
aged by your marked friendship, I will gltfo
you a statement of the case* *
Thb meeting of October, 1849, was a con
vention of delegates equally representing
the Wing and Democratic parties m Missis
sippi. The resolutions were decisive as tp
equality of right in the South with tlie North
to the territories acquired from Mexico, aud
proposed a Convention of the Southern
States. I was not a member, but on iuvita-
tion addressed , the convention. The suc
ceeding Legislature instructed me, as a
Senator, to assert this equality, and under
the existing circumstances to "resist by all
constitutional means the admission of Cali
fornia as a State. * At a called session of the
Legislature in 1850, a self-constitutional
committee.called on me, by letter, for my
views. They wove men who had enacted
or approved the resolutions of the conven
tion of 1849,' and instructed me, as member
of the Legislature in the regular session, in
the early part of the year 1850. To them I
replied that I adhered to the policy they had
indicated aiid instructed me in their official
capacity to pursue.
I pointed out thejnode 'n which their pol
icy could, in my opinion, be executed with
out bloodshed or disastrous convulsion, but
in ttpuw of bitter scorn alluded to Slush as
would insult me with a ddsiic to destroy the
Union* for whfoh my whole life proved me
to lie a devotee.

the occasion, when I say to you that my

the war of 1812, two of them wcrc comrades

that iny couutryman would hold all this

bestow upon the Union, for wllich lie never

the right, for which the battles, of the revo

change tlieir government whenever it was
found to be oppressive, and subversive of
the objects for which governments are insti

of the creed of which Jefferson was the apos
