Dear S
I enclose you an article which I wish you could get “Editorially
into the journal, perhaps I have not been happy in expressing my views
but as it may be supposed such an article would be suspected to be
“by authority” I have thought but that it should smack something of the
“bold” and of the “magnanimous”. You probably saw the article
from the Repository: in Weeds
suggestion of the propriety of gitt postponing the Convention. And then
And I labored at Rochester with his advice to get a postponement
of the Convention. Now there is no great fear to grow of danger
to arise out of this matter, the only fears are that artful men
may take occasion to say that you are attempting, or that
your friends are to forestal public opinion. I think the Enclosed
Article will stop their mouths and as Weed will publish it it
will go to the very places where it should be read. And there is
now no danger unless something can be made out of our own
indiscretions. If the young men of your County could pass a
resolution of the right stamp on this subject it would do good.
Something like the following: G
Resolved That next week on this subject and if he is
anticipated in the journal he may miss a figure.
Truly
AW
Let this go as a communication if O
print it Edy or get him to write an article on the same
subject Let me know how this fairs, And I will write
Weed specially to reprint if you think best
