MR. REDS LETTER
PLEAsANrvILLE N. c., October Is, 1885,
GENTLEMEN Your communication inviting me; on
bohaf of the Democratic Association OF wilmington,
N be present at meeting on the %|u instant;
was duly received, and deferred Answering 1t ''l
now. with the hope that should be able TO attend
however regret that shall not nave VIC pressure
Of being with you. e =,
agree with you as 10 the III 'dIIo y. nv ~
sont period of our political affairs he transporting
C ,yh,cb have surrounded Us for few years
voe, have sometimes caused me almost to despair OF
The continuance of the Union upon terms consistent
with the honor and interest OF portion OF the States
Of the Republic With all my devotion to the Union,
opdlO
49, IsI snssion of Congress drove lrresistaby to
tbo ooncnsion that it was the duty of Constitutional
man fo hone for the best and be prepared for the
worst. The Union is in danger If the tanatIcal
sprt which has taken strong hol0 IN the tree States,
IL 10 control the action of the Government and the
Constitution and rights of the South are to &c disre
oarded of course that Of itself amounts 10 disso-
luton of the Union, and we shall be governed by
usurpation and force.
In the non. slaveholding Sites there is large body
OF patriotic men, embracing much of the talent of
those States who respect and yenerate the ConStttu-
ton and are with the South in spirit and feeling
These say the triumph of ianaticism at the North
was only temporary and hat they will be able, with
The aid of the South, to and suhdue it, The
experiment is 10 be tried whether their hopes and ex-
DectatOns are in this respect TO be realized.
The Constitutional men of the North and of the
South form the great Constitutional Democratic par
ty OF the country, and upon It's triumph probably de.
ponds the fate of the Union That party presents
James Buchanan, pure and able statesman, a
candidate for the Presidency, and openly meets the
great issue throughout the length aid breadth of the
Republic. 1t has an electoral ticket in every Stale
and in this respect, differs from both of the other
parties thereby marking It's nationality and eVincng
It's devotion to principle. Refusing 10 fuse with other
parties in States where it is in the minority to defeat
an election by the people, ii stakes the great issue
upon the Justice of It's cause. Fremont is the Candi-
dale Of a sectional party, which seeks 10 overthrow
the Constitution and despoil The South OF her rights
Mr. Fillmore is the candidate Of the other party, and
whatever may be said for against him, no one who
is well informed will pretend there is any hope of his
election except by Black Republican House of Re-
r1esentatives for all admit that he stands chance
Whatever, to be elected by the people. Mr.. Buchan-
an being the only sound candidate, of whose election
by the people there is the least hope it is the duty OF
Southern men, who desire to maintain the ConsliDu.
ton and preserve the Union, TO unite in his support
Every vote in The Souri, given to Fillmore, helps to
dcfed Buchanan and elect Fremont The effort now
he No made to transfer the election of President
Black Republican House OF Representatives., shou d
be met and exposed as it deserves.
Let every one do his duty, and believe Mr. Blu
chanan will be elected, and, with his election the
fearful crisis will certainly be postponed for four
years, and hope forever.
Whatever may be TIE result should calmly de
ermne to ABIDE by Union according to the Copsi
tuition as long as it remains, and longer; if, un
fortunately, it should cease to exist let endeavo
to gather the severed fragments in a bond OF union
with the same Constitution, and, under the providence
Of God, take care of ourselves. But will still hope
that the Constitution, which bears the impress o
more than human wisdom, may, whenever the crisis
shall come, be found TO contain more than human
power to preserve lis purity and perpetuate its bless
ings With my thanks for your kind consideration
am, very respectfully,
Hon. VIM. S. AsHE and others, Committee, viii
