lie attend the late Barbecue of the Demo-
cratic Party OH the 23d ult. in that county.
WAsnINGToN, June 30, 1914.
Gentlemen: am honored by your note
Of the 18Th inst, rendering 10 me in the
name of the republican party of Mecklen-
burg County, an invitation to barbecue
at Charlotte, on the 23d of July next. |
regret that my official duties here, compel
me TO decline its acceptance, as strong as
is the inducement, which the occasion and
the place hold out to accept. am highly
hattered by the cordialily ofyourinvlation,
and the grounds on which you placed it.
There is nothing which I have more al
heart, than 10 seq restored and placed in
The ascenJancy in their full vigor The old
principles of The Republican party. My
conviction is deep and of long standing,
that or it The duration Of our glorious po-
lIlicaI system depends. 1t is that alone
which can resist, the fatal tendency to con-
solidation. which for many years has
marked The progress of our Government,
and which has been accomplished by in-
creasing confusion, corruption and loss of
confidence, as it approaches nearer and
nearer to its, ,consummalion. 1t has been
my destiny to siaud in opposition to this
fatal tendency large portion of my po.
lilical life, often under the most trying cir
cumstances. lfit is ever 10 be arrested
it must be speedily done. 1t will soon be
too strong to be resisted. Much will de.
pend on The approaching contest. Should
the Republican party succeed, and should
they in good faith, earnestly and early
commence the great work Of bringing back
the government to The original principles
aud policy Of the parry, the hopes of the
founders Of our political system may still
be realized, our liberties preserved, and
our free, popular, federal institutions be
ever The admiration Of the world. Bu' If
moi, it is to be feared, the opposite will be
our doom.
In conclusion, offer the following SEN
timent:
The Republican Party-May it succeed
in the coming election, and may its sue
cess be followed by the restoration and
firm establishment Of its original principles
and policy.
With great respect, am, &C..

LETTER rRoM Mr.. CALHOUN.

We have considered il unnecessary to
say any thing in vindicalion Of This pure
Patriot and eminent Statesman from The
charge SO falsely brought against Eim by
Wing newspapers and stump orators, tina /
he is disatlected towards the Union. His
own spolless character, his entire history
contraaicts il. But at The request, not of
Democrats, but Of some Wings, who, in
their political differences, do not forget all
truth and decency, we ventured, but tho
slightly acquainted with Mr.. Calhoun, 10
represent TO him the calumnies which
were circulated concerning him. In reply
we had the honor 10 receive The following
truly eloquent letter:
STATE DEPARTMENT,
lst August, 1874.
Sir-1 duly estimate your motives for
giving me the information you have, but
The charge of being unfrieudly 10 the Union
is SO utterly uufounded, aud so obviously
circulated for mere eIeclioneerins purpo-
ses, that cannot think i: worthy OF serious
reiutation on my part. The whole tenor
Of my long public life contradicls it, and
every friend aud acquaintance l have,
knows it to be false. My life has been
devoted to The service of the Union, and
The constant and highest object of my am
bition has been to preserve aud perPeluate
it, with our free, popular, federal system Of
Government.
But according 10 my opinion, justice,
equity and strict adherence 10 the Consti-
tulion are The basis Of our Union, aud they
who most firmly maintain them, are its
best aud lruest friends. and not those who
most vocilerously cry out Disunion, and at
the same time embrace those. who not
only openly avow their opposition 10 the
Union, but push with all their zeal mea-
sures, which they must know will, il sue
cessful, end in its destruction.
With great respect, &C.,
J. c. CALHOUN.
