On the 27th of June he wrote to Mr. Paulding for the third time regarding the Observations: "June 27th, 1831. "DEAR SIR:--With your favor of the 20th instant I received the volume of pamphlets containing that of Mr. Charles Pinckney, for which I am indebted to your obliging researches. The volume shall be duly returned, and in the mean time duly taken care of. I have not sufficiently examined the pamphlet in question, but I have no doubt that it throws light on the subject to which it has relation." On the 25th of November he wrote at length to Jared Sparks setting forth all his objections to the draught and added: "Further discrepancies might be found in the observations of Mr. Pinckney, printed in a pamphlet by Francis Childs, in New York, shortly after the close of the Convention. I have a copy too mutilated for use, but it may probably be preserved in some of your historical repositories." On the 5th of June 1835 he wrote to Judge Duer: "Other discrepancies will be found in a source also within your reach, in a pamphlet published by Mr. Pinckney soon after the close of the Convention, in which he refers to parts of his plan which are at variance with the document in the printed Journal. A friend who has examined and compared the two documents has pointed out the discrepancies noted below." Then follows the list of discrepancies "pointed out" by "a friend"; and in this letter he refers Judge Duer to the library of the Historical Society of New York as the place where a copy of the Observations can be found. The following paragraphs from the Observations contain all that bears upon the contents of the draught, and all upon which Madison relied. "There is no one, I believe, who doubts there is something particularly alarming in the present conjuncture. There is hardly a man in or out of office, who holds any other language. Our Government is despised--our laws are robbed of their respected terrors--their inaction is a subject of ridicule--and their exertion, of abhorrence and opposition--rank and office have lost their reverence and effect--our foreign politics are as much deranged, as our domestic economy--our friends are slackened in their affection, and our citizens loosened from their obedience. We know neither how to yield nor how to enforce--hardly any thing abroad or at home is sound and entire--disconnection and confusion in offices, in States and in parties, prevail throughout every part of the Union. These are facts universally admitted and lamented."
