Washington, Jan. 29, 1834.
Some of the present members of Coxigresi have bs?n
stored with ths address of the membsriof ths Legli
tire of tha Stats of New York for the y?arl818.
tached to the address, with others, is the name of
mes V. Peck, and might ieem to coufiict with his state
?ent on the floor cf Congress, that he tu not a sap
^rter of the Buffalo platform, or a free soller in 1848.
referring to the record it will be seen that this address
i written previous to the BufTtlo organisation.
[The name flee soller was applied to thote who bolted
e Baltimore nominations, and went to Boila.o subse
lent to the issue of this address.
iMr Peck, it is believed, acted with that portion cf tha
^mocratic party known as barnburaers previous to the
iffalo Convention, but there is nothing on record to
ow that ha gave the Buffalo movement his countenance
support

fi . n. the Secretary of tha Navy for temporary duty as a

tha ground that after performing that duty, he did not
relapse into a suspension, hut that, like a furlougtt, the
enspensloa w?a totally termlaatet by the order and
scrvloa under It. It wa* held that the ofii ier was entitled
to pay whlla actually on duty by order of the Secretary ;

WA.siuxiTo.v, Jan. 28, 136 1.
To mi F.iiitoe of Ttn Loubvilli Tusu.?
In an articl* hsaded " The Nebraska Bill," which ap
pealed In your paper of the 2fth lest., in speaking of my
coarse on the question* involved in It, you use this
language : ?
It seems that th* bill is to mast wllh samo opposition in
CoBgrses, ortmdeiot tho rankao' tb* 'r* "toilers and aboliiioa
iata. Mr. Dixon, of Kentucky. baa joined banda with Mr.
Sumner. of MaisachusoUs, one of >he moat pestilent abolition
aiitators in the wiisle Union,] in'oDpoaitloa to a Territorial
bill embodying th* aclrriof the c jmpromiee, taking the die
I union of slavery out of Co agrees, and leading tho queation
ot alavery to b* decided by the people of th* Territory.
No thin a better eonid be expected fr*m Mr. Busner. tor h* ia
an avowed agitator ; but wa oan ragard the poaition assnmod
by Mr. Dixon ia no other light than a determination to disre
gard tho known will of hia oenstitnenta. Agitaii >a will on
<lHittionably blight the truita cf the oompr^miaa. For the
unmanly pnrpoae of embarraaaing th* national administra
tion, Mr. Dixen is wUUbr again to raise that whirlwind of
sectionalism wbich bad w*ll nigh swept away our inaiito
'ions. Will this axeua* latisfy th* whin party of Ktatueky f
Will th* whig preaa of th* Stat* be siient sp*staior* f i h*
luoceasor of Mr. Clay is assaulting tin noblest aoalsvsnant
ot hi* life? 1* attempting to mar tb* majoatio nroportiona of
the preudwt tneanmentof hla greatneu Speak out, gentle
men editor*, and laah Mr. Dixon into a prsper resveot tor th*
aentiaant* of >h* party that tUoted him.
Now, air, as I take It tor grafted that yoa would not
Intentionally ml ? re present either my motlv** or my me
tiona upon a subject ao Important to the cjuncy u tia
Mil now before th* 9*ont* to organii* tb* larritory o'
Nebraaka, I haw thought it due to myaelf, to you, and to
truth, to call your attention to th* prLncipl** in to* bill
embracing the aubject of slavery, as reported by ia
iXiaglas, the chairman ol the Committee on Tarri. > u.
?ne amendment of the bill offered by me, and the i > *
quent adop ion of tb* substance of that amandine . . a
be committee
tb* first sMtion of tb* bill, after defining th* bounds
its of th* Territory, daolare* " That the jam* shall b
cr*at*d Into a temporary government, by the name of th"
Territory Of Nabruka; and, when admitted as a dtat* or
Stat**, th* said T?rritory, or any portion of th* sama,
shall M r*o*ivsd into th* Union with or wlthoat slavery,
as their constitution may prescribe at th* time of their
admisaloB "
Th* 21 at section provide* ' that all quasi Ion* pertain
ing to slavery in th* T*rritO|rte? and In th* a*w State* to
be formed therefrom are to be left to th* d*oision of th*
people r*?lding th*r? is, through th*ir appropriate repre
stntetivss."
It will b* recollected that th* wholt of th* territory
err.bracoi within th* provisions of the bill ll*s north ef
3G 80 north latitude, and that slavery In It is for*v*r
prohibited by the eighth section qf th* ast commonly
known as th* Missouri oom promise ait, whlsh declares
"that in all that territory oeded by Franc* to the United
S'atss, under th* nam* of Louisiana, which ltes north of
M 80 north latitude, slavery aad is voluntary s*rvltsd*,
otherwise than In the punishment of ori^ae* whereof tha
parties shall hav* been duly convict*d, shall b* forever
prohibited."
It will at onco be perceived that so long as this ast re
mains in fore* sltvary must b* excluded from the pro
posed Terrltoriee. The bill, as reported by the commit
tt*. repeals it tn the ex'rat only of allowing the people
living within the limlw nf such dtatcs as may be formed
out of said Territories to have or not to bar* slavery, at
t&eir const tntioc may prasenbe at tbe time of their ad
mission, and also of exteu llrg to th* peopl* living within
tL* limits of raid territories before organised into Stat**,
th* lik* privil*g* Frorr the provisions in tho bill above
alluded to, It will appear mati'O*' that, units* th* eighth
section of th* Mtwouri ooaproxito ast Is repealed, no
eiilMn living wttbin aslavrboidlog Hut* oan emigrate to
said T*rritori?* and earry al jng with him his slaves until
after th* peopl* living within th* *am* ahall hav* mat
together, and through th*lr appropriate r*pr*-?nutlr*a,
decided wbethsr slavery stall exi?t or not. Under this
state of th* csm, no or.* eouM doubt that the decision
would be against the slaveholder; for as th* laws op to
this point would exclude all sKvehollers fram th* To.-rl
torio*, whilst it would admit abclitloniats, free soilars,
fort ignore, and all others opposed to aUv*r?, the right
t? decide tho qaoatlon would bo cot flood alone to tho op
ponents of slavery and to those opposed to Its eomiug
into th* Tsrritoties.
Tbat this would render tbe provident of tb* bill at re
ported by th* Committee w.iolly inoperative, so far at
tbey wtr* intended to ben>flt the p?<ipie living within th*
limits of tho slaveboldlng States, there oan bo no shadow
of doubt, and amount to tb* loavlng of the whole que*
tion, so far as any practical leanlt is to bo attained, pre
cieely as It now exlat* under tbe provisions o' tho Mis
souri otmpromiso act. It promises the subatanoo, bat
secure* only the shadow, to th* paopi* of th* S >uth "It
keeps he wore of ptomiso to the *ar aad bre^ka it to th*
b< pe,'' whilst all that Is leal and valuable ia left to o*
appropriated by the p'ople living within the limits of tb*
SU to* in which no ?lavery exist* iho objtotioni taken
by mo to th* bill wart entertained by every Southern
man, *o far as I can learn, in both toaeea of C mgre s.
wlieth*r whig or c'emf.orat; and to remove tbeae I offered

far c* to yon, ar d vhlofa, aa I have before laid, was sub
sequently in eubataooe ado/ted by tb* o*ntml;te*, and
incorporated into the bl 1.
Tbat amendment r> pools so much of th* Missouri com

six negre?s thirty minutes nor h latltnoe," by Coolarlcg
"that it shall not be so construed as to apply to th* Terrl

1820, which was superxded by th* pritolplee of the legis

An<- yet, becaueo I opposed th* bill as originally report

Colt's Patent Kxtcnslon.
TO TBE EIIITOB OF TBI NIW TOBK DIRALO.
Bik ? In the Hrrald of the 23d inst., a letter In
reference to Colt's extension appears, signed Yy
Horace H. Day, in which that individual endearors
to arert the sonscqnencM of mj exposure of his at
tempt to " levy black mall'1 upon Col. Colt.
To so much of tbat letter at attacks me personally
or professionally, I have of course no reply to make.
It is a painful, but a necessary incident to the other
wise agreeable profession of which I am a member,
to inour the hatred and vengeance of those violators
of the law whose offences have brought down upon
them ita punishment ; and if I should descend t) a
personal controversy with every convicted law-break
er to wbom I have applied the "scourge of justice,"
I should find but little time for any other pursuits
Ur. Day, however, gravely asserts it ta be his opinion
that the fact thut I am one ol the "principal counsel"
of Mr. Goodyear, is answer enough to make to me,
and that if it were not for bis desire to injure Col.
Coltrn extension, he should make no other reply.
Hia motive is certainly an amiable one, especially
as Mr. Day assuies yoa that, "he has no personal in
terest in tie matter," except such as may arise from
the fast thai I am counsel fur Qoodyear. It is true,
however, as stated, that 1 have devoted a very con
siderable attention and time to protecting Mr. Good
year's property from Mr. Day's piracies, aud Mr
Goodyear 's fame from his slanders, and with a suc
cess which Mr. Day's complaints show to be cogt
plete. These efforts, too, have been mado in am
ciatioa with soma of tbe able?t lawyers of the coun
try. and I can well bear tbe reproach of being found
in Buch compaay, and in such a cause. Moreover
when I find Mr. Day publishing such a letter as that
of the 17th, (and, least it might pass unnoticed, re
calling public attention to it, and reaffirming it in his
let;erof the 23d,) in which he informs the country,
with tbe air of aa injured and despairing patriot, that
there are "no honest men in the Cabinet ?that the
administration is engaged to "back up the swindles"
?tbat gentlemen of the character ana station of the
Secretary oi War, Gen. Armstrong, Major Harris,
ai d the tike, are a " band of pirates and robbers"
I should suspect myself oi some crime, or rear that
others would i-uapect me, unless similar epithets were
applied to me by the same person wnenever he
snould speak of me. I pass, there 'ore , this part of the
case, with tbe sincere bipe that I may never se con
duct my own or my clients affairs, mtuer personally
or professionally, as to incur the ojproDrium of
Horace H. Day's praise.
Tee exteusion of Col. Colt's patent is the object I
have to attain. Mr. Day concludes his letter by an
uttack upon the application, which, like all tbe other
attacks he has made, is devoid of any resemblance
to tratii. Finding, as be says, that tbe statement*
in my letter were likely to " aid me in my extension
project," he tries to find some one of then which is
capable of being contradicted, and he choses the
tin-t? which was tbat Col. Colt was not applying to
Congress to extend a patent already rejectccl by the
Commissioner, but another one for a different sub
ject, and he arraigns that statement witb the air of
a man about to refute it. " Let us see," says Mr.
Day, "whether that is is s?." When I read
so far I began to fear tbat I had myself made
a mistake, and really did not kn,?w what Colonel
Colt was asking tor; but In the next four
lines the falsity ot the tormevchargcs made against
Col. Colt is admitted; and I am advised that it
would have been much better for me to havt joined
with tho*e who uttered it aud carried out the de
ception than to have corrected it ? tbat is to say, that
he was told, after nil, to help Colt, and row, against
the advice of his friend Day, he is ruining its most
excellent effect by contradicting it. However, it
would be ungratet ul in me not to thank Day for his
advice, and to assure him that nothing but that par
tiality for truth which has for years prevented me
from following any of his counsek could now hinder
irom taking it.
Having thos failed to sustain any of the fonr false
statements deliberately published to the country,
Mr. Day " stickB his last knife" with the fury of
despair. He has got one charge now which he is
determined shall be true. He says that, in applying
to the Commissioner to extend the patent or 1?3!),
Col. Colt charged it " with au the expenses," aud
attributed " all his profits to the pateut of 1836,"
and that now he " attempts to apply bis expenses to
the patent of 1*36, and his preflts to tba patent of
18311." After eoivicting a man or four delltierate
untruths, it is perhaps unnecessary to tay anything
more in regard to bis fifth statement, than that his
consistency in mendacity forbids his reader tt believe
tbat, at this late moment, be will begin to tell the
truth ; hot lest the character of the opposition to
Col. Colt's application may )>e unknown to some in
nocent reader of this laat charge, I reel bound to re
fute it, as I have all the others Now it is not true
that, in bis application to the Commissioner for the
extension of bis patent of 1839, that patent was
" charged with slJ the e*]>ensea.'' On the contrary,
tbe whole expenfes shown on tbat applicat on, as
any one may eee who will read the account whxh
the law require* to be filed in tbe Patent OHlce.were
$2(10,000, aud the patent of 183!* was only cnarged
with |ii0,000, or less than a quarter of them. Arid
it is not true that in the present application to Con
gref* Col. Colt attempts to apply uis profits " to the
patent of I83H;" but, on the ooatraiT' it is fre?ly ad
mitted that every dollar whijh has been realized is
attributed to the very patent wtiich he now seeks to
ex'ei d, although it coet Col. Colt seventeen ve^rs of
hard labor, and fortune# in money, to extract profit*
from it. This is the fifth delibf rat? false charge made
by Mr. Day and his " knife sticking" friend In W?h
tor against Col. Colt, ar,d not one word of trulb has
jet appeared from them. My only fear now is, that
if they should begin to state the ta ts as they are, it
would so dif credit them tbat no one would believe
the truth. No one can iorm a correct idea or what
rritidacity i? till he has has re*d ' Day on Colt's
Patent," and I commend that ingenious ptr'orm
ance to the careful attention of the curious In the
ait (d "knife sticking: ' i, can be found in a series
of letters turn Washington and various newspapers,
comn em ing the cav alter the " hlaok mail" export'
men1 failed, aud ending (including the attack on the
adtniiiictiatlon generally.) on the 23d inst. with the
letter In tbe H shai.d of that date.
Finally, in order to demolish every pretence in
Mr. Dsy s letter, I now publish the letters of Hon.
Jeremisb Clemens, Mr. Weller, and Mr Jadson on
this wbject Mr. Day forgot that before be ever
msde his proposition to me, he tried his ex^erinents
on twoof tl.e-e gentlemen, and upon sereril others,
wh(*e testimony could be given if Day's own ac
count of ihe matter were not /Wo He tt. T liete ge-?
tltmen all referred him to me, and finally be oame.
lie diil not inform thene gentlemen exactly what his
teirns were, but he offlsred to procure the extensions
of all tbe patents which he (Mippowafl wer^ p'ndio^
before C "tigress, if be coold be utiifled. How con
Meteut Mr. Pay's (ear that I wxiid not "converse
with him,'' as lie expressed it to lfr. Clemen*, before
he (-Ailed on uie, li witn the stutemetiU in hit letter
oftheiilfd, let others deside. lluw probable it is,
that when Day oame fnnA Washington with the In
tention of offering auniething to me, it all at once
happened that tlie rase was rert rued , aui 1 offered
something to him, 1 should be willing to auhaiit to |
Day himself. But enough of this? here are the

I kabSik? In answer to your r?qu??t I hare to state
that when in W tshlngtoB, either la the lat*ei part of Da
o?n bet or early part of tbe present month, Mr. Horaee
H Day enUred into sonTersatioa with me, at the Na
tioial Hotel, on the subject of the extaaslon of tbe 8olt
an( other patents by Congress. Ib tbs coarse of his te
marks I understood him to ? ay, that If an arraageiasBt
bad b'en, or should be, made to protect his Interests la
tbs ladia rubber bukatsa, hs would aid, and o inld satisfy
tbe partle* that by proper management ha could insure
the extantioa by Congrees of all these patents.
Ai no Intimation of seoracy was aads? bat, oa the
contrary, presuming that the parties interested In the
applications to Coagress should hs mads aoqu tinted with
tie Tisws and the laftuenoes be eoald coatroi? I did aot
hesitate In c rmmuaioatiag to you the purport of hid re
marks ob that subjaet.
1 can cot pre teed to gift Mr Day's remarks in full, aot
baring any personal or professional ouunecelon with any
application of the kind before Cjofiess to indues iptoial
interest, but 1 am rery sure as to tbe general tenor of his
remarks, and I feel suie that I hate not orsrstated them.
Yours, truly, &o , UdAS. M KEU.LR.

Edwd. N. Dickiksox, F.-q ?
Diur Si? ? In reply to yoar inquiry whether the state
meats of H H Day's lerer, In the Hsraik of the Si3d so
rar as th?y relate to me, are true, I bare to say they are
falsa.
Tbe only conversation* which I bare erer held with
Il-iaoe H Day on the subjeot of the extension of the
Hay ward or sulphur pateat, were tech as followed propo
siiions by him to procure the ex'eneion of that patent
Duriiff the last six inottbe Day has maie maay appli
cations to me for re'esse of the jidgmett of tbe aoart
agaloht him for infrlcgenisnt of tjooityear patents, baxed
upon the proportion to join with Hay ward In procuring
toe exteusion of bis pateat, and to be admitted as part
outer of an interest therein. These fasts 1 should not
bate felt j istihed in thus disclwlng, unle s Day ha 1
opened them by b in statements in tlia letter attacking
you butlihould be doiog tojuatice to the (<artiea coa
cerned 10 withhold tbem.
The last communication whioh Day wrote to me wa<
abv ut the eid cf I"ecember, when hit clerk Sailed upon
ice alth a telegraph from Day, from Washingt'-n, t?
questing 0.e at ouce to go to Washington, trie objeot of
which war aot stated.
In regard to the denial published in the I'nion of the
J2<h fnst , I hate to eay that Its publication was au ho
PBsrd by me in rf ply to a written request from joa.
It is proper to add, by way of explanation, that Mr.
Ocot'year owaed the flrn term of Hay waid's sulphur pa
tent,' but has no interest in Its txtension.
The extectit'B of Ueodyear's patent bai never at any
time been the i.ub.iect of liscureionatell oetweeo meant)
Day. Tbat patent is still In Its Hist term, and haa some
jears to tun.
Mr. Goodyear Is ia Europe, and 1 hate no knowing* of
his tie e? ji Intentions In regard to Its extension.
Yours truly. WILL'AM JUDJON.
Harlng thus refnted every charge which has been I
made from beginning to end, I trust that hereafter, |
wben any objection fa to be made to Col. Colt's ap
plication, it will at least bear some distant resem
blance to truth, and be supported by some reason,
which is better than "black mail."
