ALBANY, May 4, 1910.
Gentlemen:-I exceedingly regret that am
pr cvented by public duties from accepting your
kind invitation to attend the session of the u S.
Convention of Wing Young Men. The calami-
ties of the times, grievous as they are, are less
/ to be deplored than the agency which has pro-
duced them. We are imperiously called upon,
not merely to correct existing evils and restore
the prosperity of the country, but to maintain
| the independence of Congress and the sovereign
ty of the States, by combining the executive de-
| partment within the constitutional bounds, and
establishing its responsibilities upon constitu-
tional principles. Although l cannot avail my
self of the opportunity your invitation offers of
personally joining in the response of the young
men of the United States to denomination made
by the National Convention, beg leaveto as
sure you of my hearty concurrence in that selec-
ton, and my cordial corporation in all proper
measures to render it triumphantly successful.
With the highest respect,
| remain your obcdient servant,
WILLIAM II, SEWARD.
To the Committee Of Invitation to the Balti-
more National Convention.

SGentIemen:--I have received your kind invi-
tation to attend the sittngs OF the National Com
vention of Wing Young Men shortly to be assem-
you that it would give me great pleasure to be
present at the sittings of the Convention, but my
i'll health at this time will preclude me from en-
Toying that pleasure.
Permit me to say, that rejoice to see that the
country is already alarmed at the danger in which
the republic is placed When once, fairly arous- 4
ed; the people will take care of themselves We
only need that they should be induced to reflect
and consider, and the danger may be considered
as past. The profagacy Of the present admins
tration is too apparent under such circumstances,
to escape notice and condemnation.
also rejoice to see the young men, the future
hopes of the country, bestrring themselves in the
great cause which they have promptly and
actively undertaken. May they be successful is
my most ardent wish am, gentlemen, with
great respect, Your obedient servant,
T. CLAYTON.
