had a similar invitation from Claiborne
county, Tennessee, which | very reluct.

my official duties. | must not leave my
post. | believe that those who know me
will readily admit that neglect of public
duties is not n of my failures. Moth

than to mingle with my ~neighbors on the
grand Centennial Of our national birth

What a glorious occasion that will be
for the burial of all political and per-
sonal snimosities, and for the complete
restoration Of patriotic unity and in.
divisibility of national sentiment, regard.

which was to end our controversy, ant
that the conflict decided the issues which
