1141James Madison to Joseph C. Cabell, 12 September 1830 (Madison Papers)
Your favour of Aug. 3 was duly recd. with the two letters you inclosed. I received at the same time a letter from Mr. Th. J. Randolph inclosing one to him from Mr Crozet recommending his brother for the Tutorship. Mr. Johnson has been in correspondence with Richmond on the Candidates in that place; and has come to a conclusion so strong in favor of Hervé, that he is willing, if no better...
1142Nicholas P. Trist to James Madison, 12 September 1830 (Madison Papers)
I wrote a line the day after the receipt of your letter, to inform you of its safe arrival. It did not rain that afternoon, as I then anticipated, & I went to Georgetown. Mr Nicholls, however, was out; nor could the gentleman in his store tell me where he could be found. The next day it rained heavily; & the day after, I was laid up. The indisposition although severe was very transient, & I...
1143James Madison to Edward Everett, 10 September 1830 (Madison Papers)
Since my letter in which I expressed a belief that there was no ground for supposing that the Kentucky Resolutions of -99 in which the term "nullification appears, were drawn by Mr. Jefferson, I infer from a manuscript paper of his, just noticed, containing the term, that altho’ he had, probably no agency in the draft, nor even any knowledge of it at the time, yet that the term was borrowed...
1144James Madison: Memorandum on Nullification, 10 September 1830 (Madison Papers)
Another consequence suggests itself as following the nullifying rule–I will illustrate it practically– Suppose S. Carolina to be supported by the requisite number of States in her appeal against the tariff, it is null– but Pennsylvania, with equal right as one of the seventeen, vitally interested in the continuance of the law, and supported by a greater number of sister States, appeals pari...
1145G. C___k to James Madison, 10 September 1830 (Madison Papers)
The respect which my late letter received from you in Your free and polite reply, deserves my cordial acknowledgments. Though the purpose of that letter did not meet with the success I had hoped for, yet the respectful manner in which my solicitations were declined, make an impression on me with regard to yourself, which I shall ever cherish. Tho. the character of my letter may have been...
1146Edward Everett to James Madison, 7 September 1830 (Madison Papers)
I beg leave to acknowledge, with Sincere thankfulness, the receipt of your favors of the 20th and 31st, with the pamphlets accompanying the former, & the Exposition of the views entertained by you, on the subject of Nullification, enclosed in the latter. The pamphlet containing the address of the general assembly to the People of Virginia I had not before seen. I am sincerely concerned to...
1147James Madison to Thomas W. Gilmer, 6 September 1830 (Madison Papers)
I received by the last mail yours of Augt. 31. I concur with you entirely in the expediency of promoting, as much as possible, a sympathy between the interests of the incipient and the finishing establishments provided for public education; and in the particular expedient you suggest, of providing for a compleat education at the public expence, of youths of distinguished capacities whose...
1148Nicholas P. Trist to James Madison, 6 September 1830 (Madison Papers)
Your packet has come safe to hand, & the enclosure for Mr Nicholls shall be delivered by me this afternoon, unless it rains, as now seems probable. Meanwhile, I enclose you a paper containing many details concerning the wonderful event which the inconceivable folly of half a dozen men has brought about. Although it were to be wished that they would have suffered the French People to continue...
1149James Madison to W. S. Nicholls, 2 September 1830 (Madison Papers)
I inclose $310 in order to extinguish the debt on my note in yr. hands. according to my data, a few dollars will be left, after satisfying the note. In that case please hand them to Mr. N P. Trist in the Dept. of State. Should I mistake the balance due on the note, and the remittance be deficient, it shall be made up on an intimation to that effect. Please to inclose my note by the mail as a...
1150James Madison to Nicholas P. Trist, 2 September 1830 (Madison Papers)
On the receipt of yours of July 29, I forwarded the Book intended for Mr. Davis, and take for granted it got safe to hand. He met with the ready concurrences of the Board in making him the successor to Mr. Lomax for one year, with a prospect of the permanency, to which I doubt not the probation will recommend him. I need not say that whatever be the future change of Theatre meditated by...
