The Cornth army correspondent Of the Chicago Times
says
send you a copy of autograph letter from Nathan
e Macon Of the founders and fathers of the pub

BUCKS SPRING Feb. 9th, 1888
SIR: have received your letter of the 24th instant
There can be doubt that the United States in
depora5e situation, and that the publication Of the
opinion YOU desire would be useless 1t has never been
secret, ana always stated to those who wanted to
know IT.
In the year Iss4 the Constitution was buried in the
senate. The senators who then present will il is
believed, reecect the fact; and it afeIward
quoted by while ! continued in the senate. The
opinions of General Washington, Mr. Jefferson and
Governor Clinton are known but not respected.
never believed that State could nullify and remain
in this Union
But have always believed that State might secede
when she pleased provided that she would pay her pro-
portion of the pubic debt; and this right have con-
sdered the best guard to public liberty and to public
Justice that could be devised and ought to have pre-
vented what is felt in the South-Oppresson.
The proclamation contains principles contrary to
what the Constitution as notification.
1t is the great Of the administration which,
oopt mas been satisfactory ngn degree to the
people who elected the President.
When COnfederacies begin to fight liberty Is s3on
lost and the government a. soon changed
A government of opinion established by sovereign
States for special PURPOSES cannot be sustained by
force.
The use Of force makes enemies and enemies cannot
live in peace under such government.
The ease of South Carolina is different from that
Of Pennsylvania any two cases can be-
In 1914 the system that oPpresses the South was
begun
It was then opposed. In 1924 the Constitution was
buried.
Senstoos will no doubt recoect
Repetition; old age viii show.
Time to quit
Yours very truly NATHL MACON.
