Hon. Thomas L. Clingman, of North Car.
DINA. for many years leading Wing
member of Congress, thus closes a lengthy
letter to his constituents
But, gentlemen, candor as a man, and
duty asa representative compel me to
say to you that in my judgment. the sue
cess of the black republican candidate,
with its necessary consequences. will most
probably be fatal to the existence Of the
government. It's my solemn conviction
that 1t the national Democratic party were
destroyed to>day the Union Of the States
would not exist two years longer. 1t is
the force OF this truth that is causing wise
men and patriots. without regard to for.
mer party associations and preiudices, to
to take their stand with those who intend
to make great effort for the mainte-
nance of the government of Washington.
As North Carolina will have the honor of
firing the first gun in this great battle, so
a decisive triumph there will tend power
fully to encourage and strengthen the
friends Of the Constitution and Union eyS
