ora unwilling td be subjected to such imputa'ions,
without applying the proper corrective, I hnve
determined to delay inis answer ho longer. I

have never ceased to esteem him, Our personal

*neveroccurred to him. Nothing I state in
this letter will be called in question by Col. Webb;
and I m»y add that Mr. Greeley’s remarks are
writtenin no unjust spirit; and though I canuot
commend his care to ascertain the truth, I do not
condemn the spirit of his article. Whatever his
brethren of the Whig press* may do, I believe he
ikdisposed to do me justice.
I ara accused of inconsistency, amounting to
dishonesty in my opinions concerning a protec
tive tariff, internal improvements and the exten-
iiou of slavery. The first I shall dismiss very
briefly, but very explicitly. The Baltimore res
olutions contain my sentiments on the subject of
a tariff. And ueitber to Col. Webb nor to any

In the course of conversation between Col

tugs of the day, as they were, and must now be
xoufessed to have been by every candid man.—

• one syllable favorable to the constructions thus
* pat upon them. The letter to the Chicago Con-
vention mokes’iiot the most distant allusion to
theqnesiion of internal improvements. A per
son may bo the greatest lalitndinariau, or the
■strictest constructionist, and yet have written that
:■ letter with perfect consistency,simply because nil
it does is to decline being present oil that occa-
lion. The letter to Mr. Nicholson examines and
deniesihe power of Congres^to pass the Wiimot
Proviso, and endeavors to show that measure
woula be inexpedient and. unnecessary, even if
. it were conftitutionnl. This is-its extent. There
is not in it, from beginning to end, one word go-
• .ing to show my opinion was that slavery would
be established there, or my wish that it should
be established there. All this will surprise many
.good men who yet retain the impressions they
received duriug a period of excitement, and
which they gnined from the press, too often pur
suing its object .without regard to the higher
considerations of justice. Let him who doubts
* what I say on thpauhject of tlio-e letters, turn to
them and read for himself. To the law and to
the testimony.
I will now ask Mr. Greely—for I respect hi*
candor*—what hus my letter to a gentleman who
. invited.me to attend the Chicago Convention, to
do with my. opinions upon the subject of internal
. improvements? I was asked to attend that con
tention; and that was all I was asked. I answer
ed I should not attend; and that wns ull I an-wer-

circulated from one end of the Union to the oth

evidence of my hostility to any improvement by
the general government, be the character of the
objept ofwhttt it might. I.bad supposed the de
vice had served its purpose, and was nmnnj the
things ihat))ave been. Little did I anticipate tlint
a uiait of Mr. Greely,s intelligence and rennta-
tion fqr integrity would revivo this exploded
chdrge; nqd would refer to. that .letter las furnish
ing ariy index to my sentiments on this subject,
or any ground^ to convict me of inconsistency in
my acts or opinions. I did notgo to the Chica
go Cpnvention, because I did not think any good
would result from its labors, Ldid not believe,
nor do I now believe, that such bodies, in periods
ofjiolitical excitement—perhaps, indeed, at any
period—either by the. concentration of public
or by the diffusion of information can lead
tseful plan of action. Invited/as the mem-
convention were, from every portion
of the .Union, the sphere of operation wai fur too
eflensiVe for wise and cautions deliberation and
decision. There were too mahy 0 interests in-
volved. If general propositions only are to be
laid down in such a convention, the object is not
worth the effort; for, in the divided state of the
public mind upon the question, whatever plat?
ibrm may be adopted, the opinion of parties, und
generally” of individuals; would remain the
; If A general plan of operations is to bo pro
posed and pressed, upqn Congress, the objec
tions are palpable and grave. The membersare
under Jitt)e responsibility; aud as each section of
the country will have its own objects to attain,
these must be,attained by concessions to the nb-
jeets of others, and the result will 1 * fUrnisli evi-
rinnep of a mutual spirit of accotamodation,
rather than a caut ous regard for the general in-

government the powei* to commence and carry
on a general system of internal improvement.”
and no miin living has tho right to gainsay this
assertion. But at the same time I lym never dis-
putod the right of Congress to iinnrovo some of
the great harbors and rivers ntid lukes of the
Union, national in their character, and important
to the commerce, and some of them to the de
fence of bur country. Whilo the democratic
party deny tho powor to devise and carry on a
vast system of operations—whoso pecuniary ex
tent no uinn enn foresee, and what is still worse,
whose corrupting influence, ay well in the
loture as out of it, cannot be viewed but with tho
mostsorious apprehension—the groat majority ol
that party, inaetd nearly all of it, has ndvocuted
particular appropriations justified by the circum
stances of positiou and im ortunce. Almost at
iiuvrihfirifi'i %M
with equal good faith for bills in the Senate pi
viding for improvement of rivers und liarbi
and hikes, and ndvocatud their passage iu my
seat 5 aud tins is precisely the reason why I accuse
many of the whig papers and politicians of dis-
ingenuousiip.ss, or something worse, in asserting
that my Chicago , letter, which contained not a
word on the subject, was proof of my-hostility to
all the action of Congress, inthb very face of my
official course aud of my publicly declared opin
ions. And my poslion was that of most of the
prominent men of our party, who, while they
held to the doctrines of the resolutions, held like
wise to the power ofspecial legislation, and voted
for tho same bills. I do not know, indeed, that
there is a single Senator who denies to Congress
all power to legislate over this matter. Certain
ly Mr. Calhoun Woes nor, who adopts the wholc-
someWoctrine or strict construction. I am aware
it is difficult to draw a pructical line at all times
between objects tlfat ought and that ought not to
engage the attention of Congress: and I think,
therefore, looking to the abuse to which the whole
subject is liable, llint the efforts should be to nar
row, qud uot enlarge, the circle of power; and
such I understand to be the views of the demo
cratic party.
The other proof of insincerity, ns I have alrea
dv stated, is drawn from the fact that iu my letter
to Mr. Nicholson I took ground against tne Wii
mot Proviso, excluding slavery by law from the
territories, ami now believe thut slavery, with or
without that restriction, will not bo established
there. And tho wonder is gravely expressed how
l could write that letter, it ml the letter of three
lines to the Chicago Convention, and yet claim
the character of nu lionesBmati. It is it intich
graver wonder to' me, how intelligent editors of
public papers, whose influence on public opinion
is so great, should venture thus to deal even with
a political opponent, in utter disregard of Ills true
position. It will not surpriso yon, but it will
many, who have viewed my course only in a
party aspect, to be told that 111 that very letter to
Mr. Nicholson I expressly stated my opinion to
bo, that slavery would never extend to California
or New Mexico; aud that "the inhabitants of
those regions, whether they depend on their
ploughs or their herds, ennuotbo slaveholders."
I quoted with full approbation the opinions of
Mr. Buchanan and of Mr. Walker, the former of
whom says: “ It is morully impossible, therefore,
(lint a majority of the emigrants to that portion
of the territory south of 36° 30' will ever re es
tablish sluvery within its limits," Mr. Walker
by law, but because the colored race there pre
ponderates in the ratio of ten lo one over the
white; and holding, as they do, the government
and most of the offices in their possession, they
will not permit the enslavement of any portion of
tho colored race, which makes and executes the
laws of the country." And to these remarks I
add: Tho question, it will therefore bo seen on
examination, does not regard the exclusion of
slavery from a region where it now exists, but a
prohibition against its introduction where it does
not exist, ana where, from the feelings of the in
habitants. and the laws of nature, “ it is morally
impos ible," as Mr. Buclinnnii says, '• that it can
ever re-establish itself." I have never littered to
a human being a sentiment in opposition to these
views. And subsequent eveuts, the events in
deed of evory day, confirm their justice, and
render it impossible that slavery should be re
established in the region ceded to us by Moxico.
Such is the general opinion in the non-slave-
holding States, among those who are most at
tached to the compromises of the constitution,
and most determined to maintain them. And I

ovor you as we please. You are sovereign,
said ouf fathers, and may establish fiovernraejjts;
but yoti huve no right to interfere, by your legis-
latlim, ill our internal concerns. , Such legisla
tion without representation, is iho very essence
of despotism. This dispute divided one empire.
Let us take care that a. similar assumption of
power does n6t divide another.
Huve Congressman* power to legislato over
the territories? Tsaid in myletterto Mr.Nichol-
turn, "How fur an existing necessity niuy have
operuted in producing this.legislution, and thus
extending, by ralher q violent implication, pow
ers uot directly given, I know not. But certain
it is, thut the principle of interference should ndt
he carried beyond the necessary implication
which produces it."
The ground of necessity is that upon which
Mr. Mudison placed the option ofthe old confed
eration in passing the ordinance of 1787; and if
1 uu iiuiinlBliiiuoratuiiu me mia nn. iriio.WDio-
ry. lid eutertained similar views whon lie said
that acquired territory "innst be under th domin
ion aim jurisdiction of the Union, or it would bo
without any government at all.” If to avoid thin
latter consequence Congress exercise n‘ power
uot otherwise to bo defended, that power should
be limited by the necessity ofthe occasion which
it culls forth. To preserve tho pence of socioty
—and to this ground of support we must come
at last—there is no more need that Congress
should conduct the legislation of the Terriiories
limn that they should cpndnct tho legislation of
Virginia and Massachusetts. It is enough that
they should organize governments, and then the
necessity for their interference ceases. And the
result proves this ; for the local governments do
inanugo the internal concerns of tho Territories
in mostcuses, nnd would ns safely in all, if not
restrained by Congressional interposition; nnd
if Congress can pnss beyond the power to organ
ize governments, they may rule a territory at
their pleasure, mid proslrute every barrier of
freedom. If, as I have heretofore said, they can
regulate the relation of muster nnd servant, what
but their own will is to prenentthem from regu
lating the other relations of life—the relation of
husband and wife, and of pnront and child ; and,
indeed, all the objects which belong to tho socinl
state ? There is no man who can show the
slightest necessity for this interfeeenco on the
part of tho geucral government, and there is
consequently ao man who can show, that it has
any right to interfere on tne ground of its neces-
siiryaction. The people of the Territories are
fully competent to conduct their own affairs ;
and the very first principle of our social system
demands that they should be permitted to do so.
" Whichever may be the sonree," says Chief
Justice Marshal, speaking doubtfully of .this ju
risdiction, " whence this power niay be derived,
the possession of it is unquestionable." He is
spooking of the power of government; nnd no
doubt it has been possessed, but it becoines very
important to uscertain how, and how far, Con
gress Ima justly possessed it, in order to ascertain
to what extent it inny bo exercised. In almost all
—I believo I may say in all—the speeches and
essays in support'of the power of Congress to
legislate ovor slavery, after endeuvoring vaguely
to deduce itfromsomeclnnseor other ofthe con
stitution, tho principal relinnco is at last upon the
authority of tno few instances of its exorcise to he
found ill tho statue books. Authority and prece
dent have weight, and ought to Imvc some weight
in doubtful questions; but I trust there are few
to be found who are nrenared to jd^ui "iul. tlio
<<w,mint!nun, nfiu ici-ftccK in tho fjrncuco 01 Infi
government the foundation of its power; ond
more especially when, ns in this case, tho early
legislative proceedings pnssed.as we have reason
to believe, without objection or enquiry. They
commenced by adopting tho provisions of on
ordinance of the old government to the adminis
tration of a new onp, nnd thus impliedly recog
nizing the exclusion of slavery, ana seem to have
gone on silently and unquestioned for years. I
have not had time to look back to ascertain the
facts precisely; but 1 believe it will be found that
this power has never been exercised where there
was n united sectional opposition to it. Prece
dent may weigh much in the consideration of n
doubtful question, where the whole subject has
been maturely considered, and many minds have
been brought to bear upon its adjustment. But
as the foundation of political power, a practice
thus introduced is oflittle value, particularly when
it comes to involve grave questions seriously
affecting the Union. We turn then instinctively
from udi&t has been done to what ought to be
done—from the authority of precedent to tho
authority of the constitution. These are times
which try such •qiieslioiis. Who can wonder,
that with the views entertained of this subject by
the South, nn ppeal should be made to the com
mon charter of the country, or that n largo por
tion of our citizens should bo satisfied with no
answer not derived from it ? That what hns been
must coutinuc to be, is a principfo which has done
more to perpetuate abuses than all the other
causes which have operated upon political insti
tutions.
Thoso who advocate and those who opposo
the Wiluiot Proviso, occupy very different posi-
tions. Tho former urge its adoption ns a matter
of expediency, in order to exclude sluvery from
their newly nequirred territories, whero it does
not exist, and where it cannot be denied that this
exc'usion is as morally certain without it ns with
it; while the latter nil opposo this monsure on
the ground of its imcoustiliitionnlity, and a large
portion ofthe Union on the ground nlso of its in
terference with their rights and feelings. Tho
contest to which this subject has given rise hus
already been productive of the worrt conse
quences. For two years it has provfinted all
legislation over most important regions, nnd hns
left them without government, and in a state of
social disorganizrtion, to our own reproach and
to the- surprise of tho world.
I do not believe there is nnothor country on tho
fuce of tho earth which would hnve permit
ted such n state of things. And how long is it to
continue? _ Is California to become n prey to
iutestiiie dissensions in the absence of nil law, or
is it to be driven to separnto from us because wo
nftglccrto discharge one of our first duties—a duty
of necessity—that oforganizing a government for
tho people who inhabit it ? Those who oppose
the Wilinot Proviso on the ground of itncon-
stiluiiounlity, can never surrender their opinions
nndvotofor.it. Thoso who have heretofore ad
vocated its adoption may well nbapdon it, con-
a men- v jnccd, ris thoy must be, that their object will bo
ns well attained without ns with it. It appears.to
me one ofthe most barren questions that ever
divided a.country: barren iu useful results, but fer
tile in difficulties and dungers. I freely confess
that I look with amnzeinent upon tho zeal and
pertinacity displayed in urging this moqsiire un
der these circumstances, aud uiigur for them the
worst consequences.
These are my sentiments.' They will give
offence to mnny,aud will expose me to much ob-
joquy. But I do not hesitate thus openly to
avow them; for every public manwho ia pot pre

convictions, iu times like these, is not prepared to

Gross Itjisreprcsfutntion.
Tho Repttbliciatlof yesterday dhntains an edi
torial censuring Governor Towns for inconsirt-
ency, in his reply to tho Committee, accepting
the uoniiuation, for re-election gs Governor, by
the Democratic Convention.
The Itcpubli^an quotes two paragraphs from
lhe;ieply,asfq]l6w8:—
■7M have examined with care nnd concert) the
rosoliitl ns adapted by the Convention as to the
principles of the Democratic purty of Georgia,

of the . States, by a faithful observance of the
comprqmises of tho constitution, and yield to
them my cordial acquiescence. .
"I fully approve the sentiments those resolu
tions embody, tlmt should blind fanaticism.
heartloHs hypocrisy, unholy . ambition, or nil-
hliishimr trengnn. cither sovornlly or combined,
prompt u majority or the two branches of Con
gress. with tho nssent of the President, to pnss a
law destroying the equality of (he States of tho
Union; or to deprive the people of tho several
States of nn equal participation in the benefits
of the common territory of ail tho States, or to
doprive the slave-holding Slates nnd their citizens
of the free, full nnd perfect enjoyment of their
legal right of property in slaves either in the ter
ritories of tho United States, tho District of Co
lumbia, or the States ofthe Union, thnt the State
of Georgin should, in that event, resist any and
all such uggression and outrage upon the rights
ofthe South "at all hazards aud to the last ex
tremity."
From these two paragraphs the Editor ofthe
Republican .Ims made the important discovery,
that " Gov. Totens is for and against a dissolution
of the Union. In his comments he says, "In
one breath, he (Gov. Towns) declares his un
alterable determination to maintain the Union of
the States." In the next, he niters his determi
nation, and solemnly atfirms that, in a certain
event, Georgia should resist tho action ofthe
Federal Government, l at all hazards and to the
last extremity.’" In conclusion,lie triumphantly
asks the questioh, " which parngrapli is to be
regarded as the true exposition of / his senti
ments ?”
We answer both! But not ns garbled by the
Republican. The whole sentence in the fust
paragraph rends thus "tho unalterable deter
mination to mnintniu the union of the States, %
a faithful observance of the compromises of the
constitutionThe last portion of tho sentence
is suppressed by tho Republican, aud his com
incuts ure upon tho first clause only. Wo nsk
our neighbor is this fair, is it honest, thus to mis
represent.
There is no inconsistency in the two para
graphs. The ouedoclures that upon the com
promises of the constitution, the Union must
nnd will be preserved. The other asserts that in
case all these barriers are broken down "by blind
fanuticism. heartless hypocracy, unholy ambition
or uiiblus! ing treason, or either severally or
combined," and a portion of the Union deprived
enjoyment of the same, then it will become the
duty of Georgia to resist. Who in tho South
says less than this! Do tho Whigs as a body ?
Does the Republican? Who so craven in spirit
ns quietly to succumb to so great an outrage on
Southern rights und interests, as suggested by
Gov. Towns, without a murmur, without an at
tempt to protect themselves.
Has any other mensure been proposed by the
people of the South? Whutlmvo tho Whigs
done ? Was any thing suggested by their recent
Whig Convention? Nothing! Has the Re
publican any proposition to make? No, oh, no-
But Gov. Towns is the "pliant uud fucilc
gentleman," nnd lias contradicted himself, and for
this the people should punish him in October
"with many stripes. ” We doubt not they will
do so if the Ropublicuu continues to perpetrate
many such misrepresentations, as thu ubove.
The "stripes" however, will be in the shape of
good Democratic votes, in reward for his honesty
ability, nnd manly independence, aud tho success
ofhia late administration iu the promotion ofthe
linppincssnndprospcrilyofthcpcoplcofGeorgia.
The Republican should select a belter subject for
n paragraph, next time it attempts to find fault
with Gov. Towns.
