inviting to visit Jackson and address the people on
the political topics Of the day. may well say at
that to take active part in the present
political contest in California am here to try to recruit
my health, and to do this at all must abstain from
public excitement. Besides must frankly state that
sick and tired of public life, and the present cond
ton of the democratic party not calculated TO remove
this feeling But total silence my part, in the
midst of party Distraction might subject me to charge
Of indiercrce beg leave to assure YOU and the mem
bers Of the club, that far from being indifferent, am
at this very time deeply and seriously concerned about
the condition Of the country do not speak Of danger
our observation-disclosures would only be laughed to
by the light and frivolous, and vain and selfish, if
did-but of general political decentralization which is
rendering the struggle of parties in this country almost
shamefuy selfish as the wrctched struggles OF de-
generated factions Mexico In this state OF aiirs,
which see way just to improve, and cannot help
but 6ink critical have carefully and tholghtfully
considered the course which duty epjons to take,
and here it is in few words
1.Iwil never help to impose Northern man on the
South President unless am reasonably satisfied that
he is acceptable TO majority Of the Southern people.
2 If the political contest degeneraes into sectional
struggle which the present arrangement as well as the
prospective Encouragement OF the political parties
to point to, my part will be taken with the South My
reasorslbe South is acting in scfdefenco II is strug

sr-~e will decide me without hesitation to act with the
South.
s. would personally prefer stephen A. Douglas to any
other man in the United States for President II he were

is very much the same thing-was the accepted tand

my personal preference This with John C.

that the people Of Southwestern Missouri had pctoned
President Lincoln for protection, and had recommended
Sgel as a tit to deliver them from the tn sdom OF
Jef. Davis. Everything indicated that he would see
some active service, when, TO his astonshnent after
being only four days at Roa he ordered
his command over to General Curtis. There no
alternative for Sigel but to resign, and resign he did
