DEAR SGR:--Through friend received your
respects and in return transmit you my lasting
esteem. Dear sir, in writing to you, address
a true American Whig. And if am correctly
posted as to your integrity to the common cause
OF our political liberty, you are not one of those
fanatics who would sacrifice our civi! privil-
eges and the refnements of the private and So
cal circles Of society by the improper elevation
Of the Negro beyond his manifest destiny and
sphere in which the Col of nature designed
him to move. His physical appearance and con-
formation together with his mental and moral
powers indicate his true position in society to
be that of subrelaton, in contrast with our
race and the genius our civil institutions.
= Sir, you are aw ire jtha the republicans of our
county in their political deliberations bow at
the shrine Of N;ggsrloD,, while they neglect
more important matters. With the mariners
skill, AMI true to their purpose as the needle to
the pole, have they--thc abolitionsts--un under
the assumed name of Republicans engulphed
the entire whig ranks ofour county and are ho'
ding them spell bound within the whirl of thelr
hnaticism. The term Republican is misno
mer when applied to the abolitionsts who are
a sectional party in sentiment and policy. He
is only a true republican. who maintains the
policy of nintervention upon the subject of
slavery, adheres to the docrine of State sove-
reignty, subject to the great chart and general
laws of our common country, and subscrlbes to
the doctrine of popular sovereignty within
the renowned statesman, Henry Clay, as advan-
ced in his second resolution of the comproms Sc
measures in the Senate of the United States in
1850. The resolution as presented by him
reads:
Reso7vel, That as Slavery does not exist by
law, and is not likely to he introduced into any
of the Territories acquired by the United States
from the Republic Of Mexico. Il is inexpedient
for Congress to provide by law either for its in
PRODUCTION into, or exclusion from any part o
the said Territory; and that appropriate terrific
rial governments ought to be established by
Congress in all the said Territories not assigned
as the boundaries Of the proposed State Of Cali
fornia, wtJW o}opiag any restriction or condttio,
on the subject Of Stavryf'
Dear sir, you are aware that the Democracy
of our county maintains about the same views
with the oil line Whigs in connection with
these subjects. Where then is the lmproprety
of supporting Mr.. Reed the Democratic nominee
for Representative? | see none, but on the con
trary think, by so doing, the Republican Whi2
cause could be advanced, ,lnasmuch as the Nation

the articles of their creed the essential measure!
ofthe Wing party, thereby superceeding the ne
cessity Of a distinctive organization Of this re
spectacle body of voters.
