Isaac Leffler to Archibald Woods, Wheeling, West Virginia, 1833 January
Scope and Contents
Have gained a most significant victory in the lower house over the Virginia nullifiers. Defeated by one vote. We shall either run Tyler or McCoy for the Senate...we shall not likely rally? Tyler. The west and middle regions are well organized and we can elect him to a certainty.., resolved to put down these southern notions. In Virginia much is to be done in the election of a senator. Rives is with us and if we get Tyler we are safe, at the request of several western members on Thursday last I addressed a letter to Tyler, to know his sentiments on secession and nullification. This evening I send his answer. Gives defense on appointment of directors to Northwestern Bank. Determined about spring election.
