INTERESTING CORRESPONDENCE.
Wehave the pleasure Of laying before our
readers, the subjoined interesting Cores
pondence. Judging by the dates, II should
have reached us some days earlier, and as
Mr.. Mangum's Letter has not yet been re-
ceived, we fear that may have miscarried.
We hope to receive il however, in time Tor
our next.
The letter of Mr.. Graham is just the
thing, and such an one as was 10 be en-
peeted from its pure, highminded, and dis
tinguished author. lie is not TO be deter
red from speaking out by the peculiarly
of his position; and though, as matter OF
course, he is to be prescribed, his friends
have one consolation, of which they cannot
be deprived. Mr.. Graham, in the short
term of his Senatorial career, has acquired
the universal respect of his compeers, oil
all parties. He will retire with eharac-
ter for ability, for unsullied honor, high IN
tegrity, and unyielding principles, exeelled
BY none; and with the sincere regrets OF
all, in whom respect for these attributes
are not extinguishcd by party bigotry and
miserable man-worship.
1t will be seen that Mr.. Graham de-
clines the invitation rendered him for the
present but we understand from friend,
that ii is 10 take place nevertheless, at the
close oi the next session of Congress, when
both gentlemen will find II more convent
ent TO attend.
HENDERSON, n. c., Sept. II, 1872
DEAR SIR At meeting Of the Wings
of Granville, Warren and Franklin, held
here to-day, the undersigned were appoint
ed a Committee to tender to you and your
colleague, the Hon. Willie p. Mangunl, Il
Barbecue, given by the Wings OF the a.
bove named counties, aud TO request you,
in conjunction with Mr.. NJ. to designate
the day for the same. In rendering to you
this mark ofthe high consideration Of your
fellow citizens, in this section OF the State.
we feel that we are incapable Of adequate
Iy describing the warm feelings OF attach
ment, and the sincere sentiments OF adral-
ration, with which you are regarded by
those whom we represent. Your career
in our National Councils has been short,
but it has been marked by an ability, III
tcgrity and faithful adherence to pledges,
made out of office, that have at once placed
YOU among the great Statesmen OF the day,
aud given YOU new claims to the high re-
gard and affection Of the citizens of your
native State.
The last session OF our National Legis-
lature has been, perhaps, the most honora.
BILE in the annals of our country, and never
was the frmness and patriotism OF men
more thoroughly tried, than were those OF
the Wing members of that assembly
Opposed in every measure for the rehei OF
distressed and suffering country, by a
party whose only aim was lis own ascen-
dancy, and deceived, thwarted and warred
upon by a weak and treacherous Chief
| Executive, the course of the Wing men,
bers must have been unusually difficult
and embarrassing. Yet, surrounded as
they were, by so many, and SO apparent
lv, insuperable obstacles, they have been
unfaultering in their course, untirlng in
their zeal for their country's veal. A
grateful people, have watched with deep
emotion, each step in their enlightened,
liberal and manly policy, ard they will,
most assuredly, mete out to them their
proper reward. As for the Wings Of the
good old North State, they are justly proud
Of the stand taken by their distinguished
Senator'S, and are ready 10 assemble, by
thousands, at the festive board, and ID
" honor, TO whom honor is due"
| Anearlyanswerls respectfully requested,
We are, with considerations Of the high.
est regard,
Your friends and feIlow-cilzens,
