When Hal Burton wrote and mailed ^ his '
these two notes, one morning, he little
imagined the trouble he was calling
down upon his devoted head. The
first one ran:—
Dear Old Fellow :
If you really want her, don’t let me
stand in your way. Goinandwin. I
thought you understood that 1 was
fooling from the first.
Yours in haste. Harry.
And the other thus:
Dear Miss Mabel:
Owing to pressing business engagi
raents, I shall have to defer my call for
tills evening. May I come soon again ?
Your friend, Harry Burton.
The first of these two notes, address-
8ome of the Republican papers arc
being struck with “the brutality of
▼ Puck’s cartoons.” We can remember
when they did not think the cartoons
so bad. Republican papers evidently
think it an outrage to caricature any
body or any thing outside of the
South.
The Columbus Times mentions a re
port to the effect that Congressman-
elect Harris recently received, iu one
day, forty-one letters containing ap
plications for office. It is astonishing
how eager some men are to become the
“servants of the people” in office-hold
ing capacities.
Prohibition will be voted on in
Habersham county on the 7th of Feb

to vote ou this question, and settle it

'—^Senator Edmunds has introduced a
bill which aims at the suppression of
the dynamite business in the United
States. It ought to become a law,
even if no practical good should result
-from it. The law-making power of
the country should put itself and the
country on record against dynamite
methods.
Dana, Sam Randall, Pig Iron Kelley
and the Macon Telegraph are iu favor
of repealing all the luternal revenue
taxes. Does ar.y sane man believe
that they look upon that course as a
step towards the lowering of duties on
imports ? It doesn’t need any argu
ment to show that the attack on the in
ternal revenue taxes is in the interest
of maintaining the present “war taxes”
— on the necessaries of life.
Mr. Nicholls has introduced a bill
appropriating $500,000 for the purpose
of establishing a navy yard and depot
of supplies in Brunswick. It is a good
measure, and it ought to pass. Bruns
wick has an excellent harlior. It is
convenient to the best shipbuilding
material in the world, and is deficient
in no natural advantage towards the
end indicated in the bill. Give Bruns
wick a fair showing.
It is bad policy for the English pa
pers to adopt a bubying tone towards

curing legislation against the dyna

this country. Such legislation will
undoubtedly be had, unless the tone
of, the English press and authorities
should' be so harsh and domineering as
to make such legislation look like a

doing even jyhatis right.

It is well enough that the outlaws
who insist on occupying the lands of
the Indians, in. the Indian Territory,
have come to the determination to

I Speaking of the Speer nomination,
^ a Washington dispatch to the Morning
Xtjcs says:
“On Monday the Senate Judiciary Commit
tee will act, so say Emory Speer's friends,
upon the nomination of Mr. Speer to be Dis
trict Judge of the Southern district of Georgia.

are opposed to his confirmation do not think

of the good people
ed in a bold chirographv to Miss Mabel
Benton, was placed fu that young
lady’s hands two hours later, aud the
flush which overspread her face as she
recognized the dashing hand told a
story within itself.
“Dear old Fellow” were the words
which struck her amazed vision ms she
began its perusal.
“What in the world can Harry
ineau!” she stopped to say, but as she
read on the flush on her cheeks deep
ened to a redder, angrier hoe, and
when at its close she raised her eyes
thev were full of both pride and pain.
Thie-'note was intended for Tom
Steele or some other youn* man of
that set, she thought, with bitterness,
“and has been sent me by mistake. 1
shall act on this revelation of fate,
however, and in future avoid Mr. Bur
ton aud the jesting he has enjoyed so
much of late.”
“Hal is getting dreadful polite,”
muttered Tom Steele as he threw the
uote just recieved and read, among
cigar ends, tapers, etc., which adorned
his ceuter table. “May he come soon
again! Wheu I’ve sea rely missed see
ing him one night for a week, what
does the boy mean?”
“May I have this waltz, Mabel,”
whispered Hal, as the two met in Mrs.
Trenton’s ballroom two days later, his
eyes full of undisguised admiratiou as
he looked down at her.
“What hypocrisy!” was Mabel’s
mental comment as she caught the
expression, and she answered, coldly,
“I am sorry, but my ballbook is quite
full,” handing it indifferently to him
as she spoke.
A strange light spread iuto Harry’s
eyes as he saw on |cvcry other line the
name of a handsome w w
who had lately come to Morton, am
who had lately supplanted him as
Mabel’s escort for the evening.
“It is full,” lie replied, carelessly,
aud he returned the book without
another word. But he gnawed his
mustache fiercely as he walked away.
Mabel’s manner lost none of its
gayety because he held himself dis
tantly aloof from her the rest of the
evening. She had ucver been more
animated.
“If she can throw me over like that,”
thought Hariy, moodily, as in his
room that night he went over and over
again the events of the evening, “and
for the acquaintance of a week, too,
sim is not the girl for me, and I have
no earthly reason to care.” He did
care though, as a paiu at his heart
gave proof, but he smothered it dowu
and determined to make no sign.
“In the cast of character for our
play,” announced the chairman of the
Morton amatqor theatrical committee,
week later, “we have assigned the
irt of “Norman McGregor’ to Harry
. Burton, ‘Janet Grey’, to Mabel
Benton, aiid ‘Edgar Montrose’ to John
S. Fremont.”
“There couldn’t have been a more
suitable cast as far as real circum
stances are concerned,” thought Harry
while reading over the play. “Nor
man and Edgar are both in love with
Janet Gray, Norman desperately jeal
ous, and Edgar successful for the time;
happy circumstance for me,”he added,
with a sigh, “if the real affair could
assume the aspect of this at its close,
for Norman is successful in the end.
“Why are women so wild always,
he cried, giving a savage clutch at a
paperweight sitting near, “about
haudsome men? I could have sworn
•he cared for me until Fremont came,
and now she scarcely deigns a glance
in my direction. I'leaven knows I
wish I could give her up as easily as
she has me? but I can’t do it, and it
costs a desperate effort to wear the
indifferent face I do.”
As Janet Gray, Mabel was more
fascinating than she knew and Norman
McGregor, the unsuccessful suitor,
found her constant coldness prompted
more by nature, he felt, than by the
requirements of art a bitter thing to
bear, now that he was compelled upon
every night to suffer from it.
Even the relenting demand by the
plot of the play in the end, w as one in
which she put so little animation that
he drew' no comfort from it, and was
only withheld by pride from giving up
the character w hich brought him tor
ture every night.
The afternoon of the last rehearsal
came, and all final arrangements
were being completed.
Mabel, wearing a gossamer over her
bewitching Scotch costume, was put
ting some finishing touches to the
stage decorations, while Mr. Fremont
prepared evergreens for her, while this
conversation carried on in the gentle
men’s dressing room met her interest
ed ears:
“Hallo, Tom,” exclaimed Hal Bur
ton’s familiar voice, as some one en
tered the room; “glad to see you back;
when did you come?”
‘To-day, at twelve.”
m you know, Mabel, to wrhat it
referred?”
“Yes. I overheard you tell Tom
Steele ”
“What reparation do you intend to
make for your unmerited treatment of
me, Miss Benton?” he nextjwhispered,
as clasping one arm about ner he drew
her close to his side,
very miserable of late ;
than you can imagine, and dfeervea
rich reward for the suffering you have
caused ”
“Some oue else has suffered, too,”
she whispered, with a swift glance
from her long-laslied eyes.
“Ah Mabel!” he cried, impulsively,
“If such is the case, promise to take
what I give you, and give wliat I ask
in return ”
“What do you demand?”
“Your heart for mine,” was tlie
quick response; “are you willing to
make the exchauge ?”
“Oh, Harry,” she said, “I must go.
They need me in the dressing-room.”
“Little witch! do you think 1 will
release you till tlie promise is made ?
Oue littie word is all 1 ask, aud, sweet
heart, that is ‘Yes.’ ”
“Some one is coming. I have no
time to promise. Please let me go!”
“The world may come,” he answer
ed, with decision; “but you shall not
leave until you say what I desire to
liMr »
hear.
“Well, then,” with a pout, “since
you compel uie, I will say no!” darting
sw iftly from his hold with a mocking
little laugh.
A moment later, how'ever, when ou
the stage, he sang to her:
•‘You tangled my life in your hair, ‘Janet:
Tw»» a golden and a silken snare, my pet;
But no gentle the bondage my soul did implore
right to continue thy slave evermore/’
her eyes spoke so plain and glad a
“yes” that lie scarcely needed the con
tinuation given by gentle lips, # as, after
tlie play was over, they walked slowly
and happily home.
Sorry you staid so long, my boy; we
have missed you woefully in this affair
and I told Hackett last right if I could
lay hands on you, we’d have ‘Norman
McGregor,’ at your service, done up in
style. The character is very distaseful
to me.”
“Pshaw, Hal, my talent doesn’t lie
in that direction.”
“By the way,” remarked Hal, sud
denly, as if recalling something, “did
yon get my note before you left?”
“Why, yes, I did; but 1 most say I

Atlanta Constitution.
New Orleans, Jan. 26.—When the
train bearing the liberty bell drew up
at Beauvoir, at about 1 o’clock this
afternoon, among tlie large crowd as
sembled at the station was Varian
Davis Hays, the little grandchild of
Jefferson Davis. As soon as the train
stopped a gentleman caught the child
iu liis arms and lifted her to the bell,
w hich she warmly clasped with her
tiny arms, and reverently kissed, ex
claimed :
“God bless the dear old bell.
The incident was greeted with
cheers, which had not entirely sub
sided when Mr. Davis himself drove
up with an escort of gentlemen, who
had been sent for him.
MR. DAVIS GREETED.
Upon his arrival, Frank Bacon,
United States Commissioner of Kansas,
and president of the committee, greet
ing him, said:
Mr. Davis: In behalf of tlie associa
tion of tlie United States commission
ers, representing the different states
and territories of our common country,
joined by the great common industries
and representatives of the various
military organizations throughout the
Uuion, we extend to you a cordial in
vitation to join us in escorting to New
Orleans, and to the exposition grounds,
the old liberty bell, so generously
loaned us by the city of brotherly
love.
As the bell In its vigor proclaimed
liberty throughout the land, and its
sentiment was “peace on earth and
good will to men,” and as history
ever repeats itself, we believe its visit
to the South will be an efiectul means
of burying all sectional strife.
We hope, Mr. Davis, that your en
gagements w ill allow you to accompa
ny us on tills excursion to the exposi
tion grounds, to aid us in the reception
of the bell.
HIS FEELING REPLY.
Mr. Davis responded as follows: “I
feel most deeply complimented by this
reception, and the expressions that
accompany it. I was sick in bed
when this notice reached me, and I
immediately rose when I heard that
that glorious old^ bell was at the sta
tion.
I thank you and your associates, and
trust that your anticipations of the
harmonizing tendencies of this journey
of the old bell across the states of the
Union, some of which had not sprung
into existence when its tones first filled
the air, may, in every respect, be folly
realized. 1 think the time has come
when reason should be substituted for
passion, and when men who have
fought in support of their honest con
victions should do justice to each
other.
“You sacred organ that gave voice
to the proudest declarations that a
handful of men ever made when they
faced the greatest military power on
the globe, w'hen a handful of men de
clared to all the world their inalienable
rights, and staked life, liberty and
prosperity in the defence of this decla
ration, then it was with your clear
tones you sent notice to all who were
willing to live or die for liberty, and
felt that the day was at hand when
SENATOR COLQUITT.
On the New Administration and
The New South.
United States Senator Colquitt of
Georgia was in the audience at Tal-
mage’s tabernaqjr this morning, says a
New York special*of January 18, to the
St. Louis Republican, and after services
dined, with the preacher. He was
asked whether the incoming of a Dem
ocratic Administration would not have
South of Mason and Dixon’s line, and
he answered: “Indeed it We
are coming out from under the clouds
and shadows and the depression we
have suffered for yean past into the
light of renewed hope and courage. It
will break down all sectional feelings,
and remove the ever-prevailing feeling
of restraint under which we have la
bored for so long, banishing the con
stant dread of the possible consequence
of sectional anlmosty. and ending for
ever the power for harm of those who
for personal gain stir up buried strife.”
“Has tlie South auy wish to • control
the coming Administration ?”
“None whatever. The South has no
sectional purposes or ideas to.pudi for
ward. Its powers and influence, if any
it has, will be exerted to aid all move
ments tending to the welfare of the
whole country. The future will justi
fy this statement. It has work enough
on its hands to build up again its shat
tered, stunted industries, and to' take
care of itself, not to bother much with
managing a government more than is
its share.”
Georgia (
ing pretty well, are they not?”
“Yes; not that they are now* making
ch money, but they are sustaining
themselves in spite of tlie prevailing de
pression. I do not know of a angle
mill failing since its inception.”
“Does not the grow th of manufac
turing lead to an increase of protection

“The general Southern sentiment
among all classes is strongly in favor
of low taxes. A tariff based ou the
needed revenue w r ould meet with en
tire approbation I think. Tlie South is
almost wholly a buyer. Aside from
raw materials it produces little, and
our manufacturers, with the advant
age of getting materials at their door,
little fear competition and would be
much benefited in other ways.”

Why She Couldn’t Agree with. Her
About That Preacher.
Every Saturday.
Two ladies entered a Fort street car
one day recently and took seats beside
a lady well known to one of them.
She gave her friend an introduction,
and directly this one remarked:
“I thinkl saw yon at the Street
Church one Sunday, several week*
ago,"
"Yes,”
“Yon seemed to be as much disgust
ed with the sermon as I was, for I saw
that yon were terribly uneasy,”
■Yes,” again,

«Well, perhaps.” M
“I never did, and I haven’t been

The conversation then rattled off on
some other subject, and by and by the
two ladies got off.
Robert E. Lee.
Morning News.
The people of the South will cele
brate the seventy-eighth anniversary
of the birth of Gen. Robert E. Lee to
day. Although more than 14 years
have gone by since his spirit passed
from earth, bis loved and loving peo
ple still cherish the memory of his no
ble character and heroic deeds, and
while this day is celebrated with fit
ting ceremonies hundreds of thousands
venerate liis name and proclaim his
virtues.
Gen. Lee belonged to a family which.
w*as conspicuous iu the great events
which go to constitute the history of
America for two hundred years. He
was fitted by birth, training, associa
tions and education to take a promi
nent part in the doings of his day, and
almost the whole of his life was de
voted to tlie service of his country.
The story ot his career is in almost
every household.
Not only is tlie name of Lee loved
and honored by those who were with
him in tlie struggle for the Lost Causes
but‘also by those who were his eiietaiiel
iu that struggle, and by enlightened
people in every part of tlie world. His
claims to greatness cannot be disputed,
and liis virtues as a man, and' his
achievements as a leader of men, are
indelibly recorded in the pages of his
tory.
While Gen. Lee possessed genius of a
high order, he was not what Is distinc
tively known as a genius. His reputa
tion rests on liiglicr grounds, or as a
biographer expresses it “on a certain
combination, a just admixture of qual
ities, a perfect balance of character at
once rare and admirable.”
His military career was highly hon
orable throughout. It was distin
guished by great gallantry in the Mex
ican war, and culminated amid the his
toric triumphs and defeats of the war
between the States. The Southern
people are justly proud of the cam
paigns of Lee, but they venerate him
not so much for his prowess in war as
for his character as a man, that true
nobility of $oul which made him at
once a Christian, a patriot and a hero
—and these are the qualities that
gained for him the admiratiou and re
spect of his enemies.
The study of the character of Robert
E. Lee is a fruithful one. He was re
markable for his devotion to duty in
whatever sphere of life he was called,,
upon to act. As a son he was affection
ate and obedient. As a student he was
respectful and dutiful. As an engi
neer he was diligent and faithful. As
a subordinate oflicer he was in the
highest degree trustworthy and relia
ble, aud as a leader he was kind and
considerate of the feelings and welfare
of those under him. He was a tender,
loving husband and father, an earnest,
true-hearted citizen, a gallant and peer
less soldier. Above all these was his
Christian character, which makes his
name doubly dear to all who bow in
true humility, as he did, before the
Creator and Redeemer of men.
Robert E. Lee was singularly free
from that ambition which seeks mere
personal ends. He looked upon com
mand as a duty to be undertaken and
performed, and not as a place to be
sought on account of its honors and re
wards aud the power it carried with it.
He was a man of great moraland phys
ical courage, and truly can it be said of
him that he was “without fear and
without reproach.
It is useless to draw parallels or
make comparisons between Lee and
other great chieftains of the past or
present. He occupies a place distinct
ively his own. He was the ideal South
ern leader. His fame is undimmed by
petty jealosies or political contentions.
He passed through the ordeals of peace
and war, prosperity and poverty, of
exaltation and humiliation, and his
character came oat as pure gold from
the refiner’s fire. Everywhere and at
all times he was the embodiment of
gentleness, dignity and moral grand-
The South does well to honor his
name, for he was the typical hero of
the Lost Cause.

Dalton Argos.
The recent discoveries of gold and
silver in the Cohntta ranges, fifteen
miles east of Dalton, were such as to
create a ripple of excitement from Bos
ton to the silver impregnated gulches
of Nevada. These findings had been
by obscure men with but littie knowl
edge of the means employed so to give
a booming tendency, with a view to
speculation. Their findings, however,
backed by the most favorable assays,
from different quarters, were such as
to attract an occasional local iu the
home papers, which, clippedinto other
papers, gained a general circulation.
An occasional enquiry followed, then
a wandering looker after the precious
stuff. Thus things have goDe for ten
and every printing office has oue, and
we have fallen into the hands of ours,

be.”

rose-colored paragraph: “It is said
that the bank statements now being

will show that there is a greater sur
plus in the banks of Georgia than there
has been at any time in the past. This
indicates that there is a limited de
mand for money; it shows that the
people as a class are more independent;
it shows that there is a better tone in
every branch of legitimate business; it
shows that the fanners are in better
condition now than; at any time since
the war and are learning year by year
how to operate their farms more suc
cessfully and profitably, it shows that
the hardships of the panic have been
passed, and points to a time of pros
perity in the near future. The banks,
which a few months ago would not let
out a single dollar, are now glad
enough to make well-secured loans at
seven and eight per cent. The wolf is
no longer at Georgia’s door.”
What
it Costa the President to
Live.
Washington, Janaary 19.—An im
pression has been artfully created that
the expenses of the President in the
White House absorb the salary of $50,-
000 a year allowed him by Congress.
There is not the least foundation for
this belief.
The only charges that fail directly
on the President are the maintenance
of the household, his personal outfit,
and a limited number of so-called State
dinners to the diplomatic body, the
judiciary and members of Congress.
Everything else is liberally provided
from the public treasury, and in other
ways. The White House is furnished,
heated and lighted by large appropria
tions, a part of which was diverted by
late Presidents to different uses. The
music at receptions is provided from
the Marine band. Large conservato
ries, kept up at a cost of eight or ten
thousand a year, furnish the flowers
and plants for decoration.
Nearly ail the servants are disguised
messengers or laborers on the pay roils.
The steward is a salaried official. The
choicest supplies for the White House
come from the army commissiariat at
wholesale prices. Eight thousand dol
lars a year are voted for “the contin
gent expenses” of the executive office,
which may properly be described as a
practical addition to the President’
salary. And superadded to all these
perquisite and benefits, it has become
the bad custom to use the public prop
erty for the comfort, pleasure and con
venience of the President and his
friends.
Many other indirect privileges and
advantages might be named which re
lieve the President of expenses that
would fall upon him as a private citi
zen. Some of them are abases that
grew up under Grantism, and which
were never tolerated before that era of
vulgar extravagance and of wasteful
show.
The general and the special recep
tions at the White House, which are
advertised with unction by the special
correspondents, may be called social
parades, which do not cost the Presi
dent a dime. One for the diplomatic
oorps and for other invited guests,
initiated the fashionable season last
week with a Spartan simplicity of en
tertainment. Dress and diamonds
were the marked features of the occa
sion, upon which, a distinguished
remarked, even water was
A party of Boston men have recent-
ly, claiming to represent a snog sum
of ready cash, anxious for just such an
investment, been probing three moun
tains by what they claim is an infalli
ble test—a patent electrical apparatus.
That the silver ore is rich has been
proven by assays of ore gotten out in
the most primitive way, and by those
having the advantage of neither scien
tific or practical knowledge.
These Boston men claim to be ex
perts, with a wide range of min!
perience. Their reports have
widely colored by ingenius reporters
daily
of our neighboring daily papers; but
their positiveness of expression has
beep such as to warrant very much
that has been written. We have no
guarantee of the reliability of these
men—no knowledge of thegood faith of
their Aladanlike story. We have been
puzzled to find a cine by which confi
dential agents expose the secrets of
their trust, without so milch as the effl-
of a bribe. The mystery belongs
to the Aladan lantern which films the
galded hills with threads of silver and
rivets the bowels of the earth with
-olden clasps. These men possess the
antem. The old legend was real
to find men or avarice, who
have substituted gold for the
use of the magic wand created only
for fairy beings. Human nature has
not since changed. A shrewd man
from the East would more than
likely realize so much. If we catch
the story of these men aright tlie veins
of silver are 1500 feet wide, 8 miles
long, and clinched with the level of the
sea. The mines are worth $20,000,000.
The fair Arabian never excited the cu
riosity of her passion-fatal lover with
a more magical story. The reporters
say that large smelting works will be
reared in Dalton. They might have
punctuated the headlines with rare
brilliants, and rounded the bold para
graphs with carves of silver. View
ing this whole matter in the light of
modern developer, we could not have
curbed our temperament, in a less
glowing strain than to have fouud the
man Who stole away the chartered
rights of the Dalton and Morganton
railroad,' besmattered his brains with
a golden mallet and then bridled these
mountains .with a line of silver rails.
The idea would have been nice, and
then, when men were gorged with the
precious metal, the railroad conid be
utilized in transporting the com,
wheat, hay, cotton, marble, tale, etc.,
which are so abuntant, to an outside
world.
We take no flippant view of this mat-

Fertility ot Cotton Landa.
Washington, Jan. 25.—Mr. Nimmo,
Chief of the Bureau of Statistics,' pre
sents in his quarterly report just pub
lished an interesting and valuable re
port, made to the Bureau by Mr. Wil
liam L. Trenholm, of Charleston, S.C.,
on the persistency of fertility of the
cotton producing lands of the United
States. This report was prepared by
Mr. Trenholm in reply to specific in
quiries submitted to him by Mr. Nim
mo in July last, and is now presented
as the introduction to an important
and somewhat extensive investigation
as to the probable future relative posi
tion of this country in cotton manufac
tures and in the exportation of cotton
to foreign markets. Mr. Trenholm
serfs that under the old methods of
cotton culture prevalent prior to 1860
great bodies of land not only lost their
power to produce cotton, but became
unfit for any pnrpose known to the
planter.
SICE LANDS RECLAIMED.
He confidently asserts, however,
that with unproved methods and ex
pedients described by him the cultiva
tion of cotton has become not only. a
lucrative art, but a progressive science;
that “cotton sick” lands have been re
claimed and the general average of the
productiveness of the cottou lands of
the country has been greatiyincreased.
This he clearly proves by statistics of
production of particular tracts, and by
the relation of the crop to the acreage
throughout the cotton belt. Mr. Tren-
holm concludes his report as follows:
" Looking at the question solely with
reference to the capacity of land it
seems reasonably certain that the cot
ton States of the Union will be able
uot only to keep np a crop of 7,000,000
bales, bnt in case of need, to increase
that crop considerably without materi
ally increasing the acreage now in cot
ton.” Mr. Trenholm is a son of the
late George Trenholm, Secretary of
tlie Treasury of the Southern Confed
eracy.

Dari, and State Rights.
Washington, Jan. 26.—A contro
versy has been carried on recently in
the columns ofthe NationalBepublican,
of this eity, between Dr. A.T. P. Gar
nett, who was Jefferson Davis’s physi
cian during the war, and Mr. Hydeil,
who during the same period held the
office of private secretary to Alex.
Stephens, teaching the adherence or
non-adherence of Mr. Davis during the
war to the doctrine of State rights.
Hydeil stated in a communication to
the Eepublican that ail Davis’s Cabinet
officers, as well as Vice-President
Stephens, distrusted the sincerity of
Davis’s adherence to the doctrine of
State rights, and were fnliy of the be
lief that he (Davis) aimed at the- su
preme dictatorship of the Confederacy.
Dr. Garnett replied, denying the state
ments of Hydeil, and finally announced
his intention of writing to Mr. Davis
on the matter. He dia write to Mr.
Davis, and now furnishes the Bepubli
can with an autograph letter on the
subject from that gentleman, of whicii
the following is a copy:
Beauvoir, Miss., Jan. 22.—Dr. A.
r. P. Garnett—My Dear Sir: Yours
of the 17th instant has this day been
received, and to yonr inquiry I reply
that though it is not in iny power to
recite the language employed in re
sponse to you and others who urged
me to send Confederate troops into
Kentucky, to prevent the Federal
Government from intimidating the
” - -Islature and people of that State by
itary occupation, aud thus to pre
vent Kentucky from passing an ordi
nance of secession, I do well remem
ber that to you, as to others, I an
swered substantially that I would not
do such violence to the rights of a
State. * No one could have frit a deeper
interest or more affectionate regard for
Kentucky than I did, and it may well
he that I did not believe the people of
Kentucky, a State especially distin
guished in the early period of her his-
for the assertion of State rights
State remedies, could be driven
from the maintenance of the creed
which had ever been herpointof pride.
My answer, as correAly stated by you,
shows that my decision was not based
on expediency, and however reluctant
I may have been to reject the advice of
rouraelf and other friends in whose
. udgment and sincerity I had implicit
confidence, I would not for all the con
sideration involved disregard the lim
itations of our constitution and violate
the cardinal principle which had been
the guiding star of my political life.

kindness in years gone by and admira
tion for yonr manly fidelity in times of
trouble, I am ever tralv your friend
