trusted again
"Why rip Raps' attaches SO much NOR. ina.

of our principles in 1910, is than can cone.
and his general reasoning would warrant the opif,,
that he thought that principles were matters Of :,
condary consideration, as It required great persona

any weight in the Republican party, whs III not G.
operate with the party, if the majority declare The.
preference for candidate, which may not SUIT ms pe
sona feelings in the matter That a large majority 4
the Republican party should BE- expected to su'rsat
their preference for candidate TO enable sln.
few to take their position in the party, upon parcO
candidate, requiring too much-more than jus, 8,
would warrant, or prudence would yirld
"0ne very strong reason why MIR. Van Buren, ouf,
to be candidate is, that none but perjured wlnei
can be brought against hun, and under such cIrcg-.
stances, might, with mach confidence, look iorwU.
to the success Of our party, with MIR Van Buren,
candidate. From the manner in which some OF CO
friends vamp up Of the stale charges against "
Van Buren, fear, that the Wings will clam then 4,
endorsers upon paper, which they know 10 b. (~l'h.

prospect for carrying il in The Presidential Electo
though il may have good effect if it nominaes VI
Van Buren,, by inspiring energy and spirit IN the Paf
proportonate to the unanlmy Of the action OF III
Convention.
"The untirna zeal of Mr. Calhoun's friends M,
however, prevail in North Carolina; though. If in u!
spirit of retort upon the remarks of the Republs.
about the election in Tennessee) the result IN s1i
ders' and Daniels Districts is indicative OF the por.
larity of MIR. Calhoun, the sooner they drop h'm'
better it will be for good. In Reds, the onl! O.
batable district in the State, he, Van Buren, ma
fully maintained the entire strength of the Republic!
party.
"Comparisons of this sort will do no good, and 3
Calhoun friends follow them up, with the ees e
a. The nomination is concerned. They have the n,
TO present the claims Of Mr. Calhoun, and press lt.
with nil the force they possess, but doubt whela'
they have the right 10 use the exertons they do 10 W
down MIR. Van Buren,. If they have the right 50
do, very that the exercise of it will Proofs
nothing but injury 10 the party. This they will aa
out, when they become aware that their exertIon' +.
behalf Of MIR. Calhoun are unavaIIing.
"keep cool, my dear sir, and do not let yonr vel
