opinion on the subject. This I think was correct. The pamphlet is indeed malignant enough-- not more than was expected-- But the African charge took me a little by surprize. I am glad it is there, for I am sure there is not another human being in existence who will coincide with him in opinion. The unclear gentleman! he supposes that the violence of my opinion, and the force of my resentments against him, really influence my conclusions upon abstract questions of constitutional law. If he was capable of forming opinions upon such questions, no person would doubt the correctness of his conclusions, when applied to himself; but as he has not understanding, enough to form such opinions, all the ideas he has upon all subjects are the result of his resentments, and of his vindictive passions. Yet this is the man who attempts in a book, to impeach my sincerity and morality. Oh. what was the recd. opinion of the death of London?-- He was killed I presume not for his virtues but for his views. Adieu Wm H Crawford Gnl D. B. Mitchell
