VOICE FROM FuRT HILl.-Col. A. P. Calhoun,
having been repeatedly nominated as candidate for
Congress in the Fifth Congrcssiona! District, has
again positively refused to be a candidate We copy
the closing portion Of his communication from the
Anderson C.rolinian:
To place myself and friends right, let me now re-
iterate that 1 am not candidate for Congress-
While consider It the duty of every one to make
himself useful to the extent of his abilities and to
respond to any call upon his services, when posi-.
tive demonstration of public opinion urges certain
duties upon him, yet l do not consider seat in
Congress position to be desired on the score of
usefulness. The question is settled, so far politi
cal power is concerned, between South and North.
The equilibrium Of the sections being destroyed, and
the whole North hostile, and resoutely determined
to wage fierce war upon our institutions. now that
they have obtained power, and just contaminated,
essentially, great victory in Kansas, it is idle to
hope they will reinquish particle by restoring to
the South her lost rights in this Union. They must
be looked for elsewhere. Southern member of
Congress has but little to do, being in hopeless
minority, hey ond hearing his section State abused
There never was crowded into the same chamber,
such discordant elements, and when We consider it
is all engendered, on one side, by malignant hatred
to US and ours, and Southern members have no
check upon them, far their interest the
question OF slavery is concerned, and that events
are fated to tend from bad to worse bv embryo ter
ritorial governments sprnging from birth once to
the maturity and sovereignty of States, rapidly
that we cannot become familiar with their names be-
fore they swell the ranks Of the enemy upon the
floor of Congress- this should warn if thing can
that the people of the South must rely upon them
selves their section and institutions from des-
potjsm and ruin. Our members Of Congress can no
longer the torrent Of vndictive and fanatca
outbreak that pours down upon U.S. and for one
prefer battling against it in the ranks Of my
trymen to he posted a leader under the shadow of
the Federal Government, where our rights have al.
. ready been usurped, and where future expansion
and power must be at the cost of the peace security
and prosperity Of the South.
Very respectfully yours,
. -sa-.l ANDREW P. CALHOUN.
