Letter from Mr.. MAYNARD.

The following letter, from the able Rep
rcsentative from the Second District, will
be read with interest. It was written in
answer to on invitation to barbecue at
Monticello in Kentucky:
Knoxville. September Goth. 1859. Z
Gcnttemen:- am truly sorry that my
present engagements prevent me from nc
cepting your kind invitation of the 10Th
inst, to attend a Barbecue at Monticello
on the 9TH of October. 1t would give me
great pleasure to meet with my political
friends Of Kentucky, anu especially the
distinguished gentlemen whom you name
us likely to be with you. The future of
our country depends very much'upon the
course of the Opposition during the next
twelve months. They hold its dcstihies

can easily maintain the asccndency in the
government. But if they turn aside to
consider to whose benefit and personal
advancement success will cnure, they will
be routed and dispersed, and ought to be.
The public man who sees nothing in the
prosperity, greatness, and good govern
ment of the country, aside from the ele-
walton OF himself and his party to place
and power, is wholly unfit to be trusted
by the people. in the minority, AS we of
the South are, our line of conduct must
necessarily depend more or less upon the
course of affairs in the North. If that

of the people there, who at heart arc
