enough to satisfy any reasonable am

years. Does his willingness tobc run
a fourth time not SAVIOUR of h love of

Would not becoming delicacy sug,

Such declaration as this would
transmit his name to posterity in
blaze of glory! But, has he the mag
to make this self denying
present sacrifice, to win the NEED of
posthumous praise? | fear not. In
deed, his present position indicates a
love Of place, which many of his
friends regret to see. 1t seems he is
like Mr.. Clay-never believes the
people are in earnest. BY $4,000
votes, he was rejected in lS4O--in
1874, he asks for reversal Of judg-
ment. Will the people respond to
this? that is the question. Now, my |
dear sir. in all freedom and candor,
permit an old friend, personally and
to make a solemn appeal
TO your sober reason, and highly
valued judgment. Let me entreat
you to forget for moment all your
ancient prejudices against Mr.. Cal
houn-look at the man as he is--as
he now stands before the nation, and
do him full justice. Is he not after
all, the fttest, the ablest, the most
