2James Madison to Joseph C. Cabell, 10 November 1828 (Madison Papers)
Adverting casually to my letter of Ocr. 30. it struck me as not amiss to erase the paragraph numbered 7. relating to cases which might require a simultaneous & difference concurrence &c Tho true in itself, it may be thought not sufficiently incontrovertible, to be classed with the other exceptions, nor sufficiently precise for the use made of it. Be so good therefore as to blot it out. Draft...
3From James Madison to Joseph C. Cabell, 27 May 1827 (Madison Papers)
You already know that Mr Key sent forward his resignation within the prescribed time. I am now to mention to you that I have written to Mr Gallatin a request that he would ascertain and let us know without loss of time, whether a fit Successor could be found in G.B. in case it should be necessary to resort thither. I wrote also, at the suggestion of Gen: Cocke, to Mr Brown, American Minister...
4James Madison to Joseph C. Cabell, 13 February 1829 (Madison Papers)
Since mine of Jany. 29, I have recd. one of the papers of Hampden. But it is No. 2. the Enquirer containing the first No. and a No. from the fellow pen having not come into the neighborhood. Be so good, when at leisure as to procure and enclose it to me. I observe that some stress is laid on the reference to our Coloneal relations to G.B. as having originated with me. The fact is, that I found...
5James Madison to Joseph C. Cabell, 5 October 1828 (Madison Papers)
I have duly recd. your letter of Sepr. 27. The object of mine of Sepr. 18 was to suggest the topics & references which had occurred to me as supporting a constitutional doctrine in wch. we agreed, and in which I know you to feel a particular interest. If as you suppose a publication of the views taken in the letter, of the Tariff power in Congress, might have a useful tendency, the present can...
6James Madison to Joseph C. Cabell, 27 December 1832 (Madison Papers)
I have this moment only recd. yrs. of the 22d. I regret the delay as you wished an earlier answer than you can now have, tho’ I shall send this immediately to the P.O. My correspondence with Judg Roane originated in his request that I wd take up the pen on the subject he was discussing or about to discuss. Altho’ I concurred much in his views of it, I differed as you will see with regard to...
7James Madison to Joseph C. Cabell, 22 November 1828 (Madison Papers)
Finding by yours of the 16th. just recd. that you will not leave Edgewood, before a letter will probably reach it, I will ask the favor of you to make another erasure from my letter of Ocr. 30 viz. of the words--"Notwithstanding British representations to the contrary", immediately following "other than G. B. which have Colonies" The fact asserted as to other nations, will stand as well...
8James Madison to Joseph C. Cabell, 24 March 1829 (Madison Papers)
Since mine of the 19th. inst. I have recd. yours of the 16th., & hasten to comply with its request relating to your letters of the Spring of 1827 & those from Warminster of the last year. I send the original instead of copies, which cd. not be readily [made] As they are necessary to explain some of mine to you, may I ask the favor of you to let me have them again, after serving your own...
9James Madison to Joseph C. Cabell, 27 March 1828 (Madison Papers)
I owe & offer you many thanks for your favour, in procuring & forwarding the reprinted portion of the Legislative Journals. They were duly recd. thro’ that of General Dade. Unluckily the volume does not reach the dates I wished to see, being limited to the year 1780. I have requested Col. Peyton to procure the Journals for 1784-5-6-7: if they should be merely struck off, and can be had from...
10James Madison to Joseph C. Cabell, October 1833 (Madison Papers)
I have seen no evidence yet that a Successor has been appointed to Mr Breckenridge. I hope the Govr. has not waited for the formality of a notice of his death as the event was a matter of certainty & notoriety, and as well known to the Govr. as it could be to any of the Visitors, I took for granted that there wd. be no scruple or delay in filling the vacancy. On the first suggestion that I...
