PerUMl Mobile. May 2fl, 183®.
GkrTLIMER—I have the houtr to acknowledge
the receipt of lh« inv;yitiun of my feUow-citiwn* of
Mobile, to partake of a puplic dinner at such time
n* may suit my convenience. 1 can hut regret that
mv arrangements will necessarily render my stay In
Mobile so short, that I am compelled to decline
their flattering invitation, and to deprive myself of
the pleasure of meeting tbm at tlm fe :lvo board.
I cannot, however, be insensible to this manifesta
tion of the personal respect and political confidence
of my Republican fvllow-citixen*. It is the only
reward for nubile service, worth, wilh mr* a m«»-
meat's consideration: for coming a* it doe* from
those distinguished for their intelligence anil moral
worth, it curri • with it tho strongest evidence that
I have been faithful tn the principle* of the Co-stl-
tution, and with whatever ability I mny possess,
have honestly discharged the duties of thn station
in which for thn last twenty year# it lias pleased my
f*llow-eititens of Alaluima to place me. From
early lifo I hove been identified with tho Hepuldi-
can party. My youthful energies were exerted in
sustaining thn-e principle* for wli ch Jefferson, Ma
dison. and the purest and wi*e*i uf our e. uutry con
tended. Witli them I wn# opposed to ntiun and
sedition Jaw#, thru; I nm equally opposed to gag
laws, now. I wus, mol ever hare been opposed to
tho latitudinarian construction of the Constitution.
I believe with our D miocint r IlcpuSlirnu fathers,
that the only security for tho right# nf the State#
wa* to Ire found in confining thn action of ibu Gen
eral Government to tho power* expreitly granted,
an l to such iwidcutal powers us were plainly and
u •Jcniuhly 44 necessary and proj«er,'' to curry llw
grunted powers into effect.
I nm, nod ever have Iwen, n Stute Bight* mnn t
n strict constructionist. I hunt tip no vagrant pow
er mi which lo bottom legislation, nor upon any
supposed grounds of expediency, seek to extend
the granted powers by implication. For h United
States Book, internal impiovcnieut, and u lunllTor
f irotectlon, I find no warrant in thffConstitutlnnl
wnce I disregard ull arguments, drawn from <eal or
imaginary advantages; adhere to tlwt sacred instru
ment, and opjroso them all ; fur ex|M-rieneo has
shown that every depar ture has been ui tended with
serious evils, und on more than ono occasion hn*
threatened to sliuke tliu Government to its v. ry
foundations.
On a strict ndhern wc to tho provisions of tho
Constitution, must depend the sueurity of our tnnui
vlml interests, tho preservation of uur dearest right*.
It is tlw only off‘Cl.ini shield nguinst tlw unprinci.
pled efforts of thorn who would with a demoniac
spirit, involve us ill all the liurrors of a servile war,
and drench our Hair field* with blond, nnd aboj'd
tho rlny unnfi innately ever arrive, when tho powers
of this Government shall l»e placed, nnd retained,
in llw hands nf lhuso who would ereato a corpora
tion, tn strengthen the executive arm, and control
the Institutions uf thn Stales; impose tuxes to enrich
one branch of industry til the oxih imo of nil tho
othrrs, und deprive our cilituns of the freedom,of
speech: then will the Hay# of this glorious ami free
Republic lm numbered. To the present truly Ue-
ptihlienn Administration I Ituvo given my most cor-
diul support, nnd su long us it continues to ndmin-
Ister the Government upon tho principles set forth
by Mr. Van lloren, in his inaugural address, I shall
unhesitatingly do so.
I regret, gentlemen, that neither timo nor tho
limits of this letter, will enable nm to give nt large
my renson* for supporting that much abused nnd
misrepresentd inde|M>ndent Treasury plan. I know
that untiring efforts Imvn Iwen nnd are rnakuig, tn

knmv that it is undergoing a lit -rough examination
