Portland some years since. The sentiments to
which it gives eloquent utterance can never bc

WAssIs.roy. December a5, 1881
DEAR SIR: duly received your favor OF the
Ism Instant, and although pressed for time, by
lar the most valuable thing in my estimate,
cannot deny myself the pleasure OF acknow
ledsirg lis receipt, and OF saying that feel graft
fed with retaining friendly place in your reccl-
lection.
We have passed through many political trials
during the last ten years. | thank God TO be
allowed to believe that they are drawing to a
close Light is bursting upon lis from all quar-.
tiers and that from your State is the most cheer
ing New. England, the home Of the Pilgrims,
the land of Revolutionary patriots, is becoming
itself again.
We must not allow ourselves to be distracted
or to be defeated by Presidential candidates.
Our country first-our country always. Every
thing should be subordinate to its character, its
institutions, aud its glory. The spoilers have
yet three years possession. Let rs drive them
out and then the house can be put in order. But
they can only be expelled by union, concert, and
perseverance.
know moi what our rulers will do--thcv will
doubtless persist in their mad purposes of putting
down the local institutions of our country
putting down credit, putting down industry. But
the people will, trust, pat them down, and al!
their wicked schemes
With the compliments Of the season. remain
your friend and obeGient servant, III. CLAY.
