MR. VAN BUREn’s RESPONSE TO THE LETTER
OF THE TENNESSEE STATE COMMITTEE IN
VITING HIM TO THE MjfSS MEETING OF THE
15th instant.
The following patriotic letter from one
of our most distinguished countrymen is
so full of eloquence and power, lhat no
thing which we can say will o.qd to its
highly interesting character.
Lindenwald, July 29, 1841.
Gentlemen: —-I have to thank you for
your kind invitation to attend a mass
meeting of the Democracy of Tennessee,
to be held at Nashville, on the 15tli of
August.
it will not, I regret to inform you, be in
jny power to be wilh yoij personally, but
you may rest assured that my best wishes
will attend your noble efforts to re-estab
lish the ascendency of democratic priced- |
,ples in the councils of the nation. This I
is not said from a spirit of courtesy only, j
but conveys the earnest an,d undisguised
sentiment of my heart, which has its foun
dation in a conviction, that the success of
ihe men and the principles you support,
is necessary to the welfare of the country.
My opinion of the character of our candi
dates, including Tennessee’s unassuming
and highly meritorious son, has already
been gjven to the public, and need not he
.repeated, it is equally unnecessary to j
say that there is not amqpg the numerous ;
friends of those genlJenien.cne .who .cher
ashes a more disinterested desire for their
individual welfare, than I do. There are,
besides, public interests involved in the
coming (Contest, ,whi,di have claims upon
our consideration, far beyond such as are
of a personal character.
It is scarcely too much to say that the
permanent success or final overthrow of
those distinctive principles fur the admin
ist ratiqu of the federal gave rnroe.pt, winch
constitute the democratic creed, pre sus
pended upon the result of the approaching
election. Although justly regarded as the
promised fruits of qur struggle fur nation
al independence, it is nevertheless true
that those principles did not acquire that
influence in all the departments of the
government, to which they were so well
entitled, until after wcat was appropriate
ly called the civil revolution of 1800; and
from that day to the present, there has
been an uninterrupted struggle for their
expulsion from the foothold they had thus
acquired. In this struggle, so long .con
tinued and with sqch varied success, they
have had arrayed against them that ac
tive and undying spirit, by which,the qqp
duct of a portion of mankind has at all
,tiqies and every where been guided, and
yyhich regards the powers of government
gs misapplied w.hqp its benofits as well as
its burthens are diffused among the whole
people in equal proportions, and by an
impartial hand. Although the luminous
and earnestly patriotic mind of Mr. Jef
ferson exerted a principle agency in their
conception and successful diffusion, and
although the public mind was strong
ly agitated by the establishment of the
first Hank in the United States, and the
principles then avowed by its .leading
advocate, as also by some of the leading
measures of the administration of the el- i
der Adams, yet the .real character and I
practical tendency of the conflicting prin- j
Iciples which have from the beginning |
:l>een entertained by the two great parties !
which have divided the countrv since the
of the Federal Constitution,
were never so thoroughly appreciated by
.the great body of the people as'during
>the administration of General Jackson
x and that which immediately followed.—
indifferent about forms, but ever anxious, ,
:J might even say impatient, lor results,
and bringing to the consideration of every
public question a clear head, and honest
•heart and a truly indomitable spirit, tliat
extraordinary man carried out the princi
ples of his party with so vigorous a hand
and dealt his blows upon opposing Heresies
wilh such rapidity and force, as not only
to bring the parties themselves to the
closest quarters, but also tq lead all classes ;
and conditions of men to a more earnest
consideration of the principles f.nd designs
of the ppppsing parties, than had been be
fore bestowed upon them. The struggle
.thus produced reached its crisis in the
course ofthe.four preceding years. Never
had the masses of the Democratic portion
of the people been made so deeply sensi
ye of;ho objectionable character of the
doctrines which they had hitherto opposed;
and never before were those who have at
all times preferred a government of asso
ciated wealth, to one founded on popular
sovereignty and practically, controlled by
the will of the masses, so thoroughly
convinced of the necessity of immediate
and efficient exertions to save their cher
ished principles from total overthrow.—
The conflict of such interests, and the
collision of.such sentiment in a wilderness
of free minds, give a character to the con
test wh cli, though perhaps to be expected, !
will, it is hoped, never be repeated.—
Means which will without doubt, in the
course of lime, lose all their apologists,
were by our adversaries brought to bear
upon a public opinion already to some
extent unsettled by many years of severe
political agitation. These were in the se
quel powerfully aided by derangements
in the business relations of the country, oc
casioned by unexampled abuses of the
credit system, w hich, though they pervaded
ail commercial nations, and are now uni
, versa!ly known to have been occasioned
, by individual improvidence and mis
j management, were at the lime with too
! much success attributed to an alleged
) maladministration of public affairs. The
i Democracy of the nation, though tho
j roughly united, were signally overthown,
j and many an honest mind contrasting the
| means employed with the result produced
1 was for the moment led to doubt the
j capacity of our people for self govern
: ment. On rny own mind no such impres
sion obtained even a temporary foothold.
I was on the contrary, well satisfied that
as soon as the discontents which had been
engendered by long continued and artfully
contrived agitation had been allowed time to
subside, and when our adversaries should
| he compelled to advance from words to ac-
I lions, the public mind would forthwith, and
| by its own honest impulses, right itself,
j This sanguine expectation has been fully
| realized. The results of the elections
j which have taken place since the extra
session of 1841, viewed as a whole, have
clearly shown that thisopinion did no more
than justice to the democratic party; and
sure I am, that the work which they have !
so well begun will not be left unfinished, i
Extraordinary efforts have since, it is true, ;
secured partial successes to our ad versa- |
ries iu limited, and to some extent, doubt
ful quarters; but nothing has occurred
| that should shake our confidence in the .
speedy and complete re-establishment of
democratic principles, in every depart
ment of the federal government, provided
only that the will of the people .cap be
honestly conveyed ghroiqgh the' ballot box
es. The election of Polk and Dallas, and |
of a majority of incorruptible and firm de
mocrats to the national legislature, will I
witness to the world the triumph of those i
principles; and to the people, themselves, j
be a sure guarantee for their faithful oh
j ser,vance in the administration of the goy- j
ermpent. It might scorn superfluous for
one whose whole life, from infancy to old
age, lias, without the inter mission of a day i
or the neglect of an occasion, been devoted !
to the support of democratic principles; i
who embraced them with the ardor of 1
youth, and clung to them even more close- :
ly when they were struck to the ground
by abverse power—to say these are re
sults the consummation of which lie earn
estly desires to witness. Other important
advantages may also be anticipated from
the accomplishment of such a victory. It
might, if properly improved, be made to
produce that degree of unanimity and quiet
among the people, as well as in our pub
lic councils, of which the country has so
long been deprived. There is every rea
son to believe that a very large proportion
of our adversaries have, by the .course,of
events and the developments of the last
few years, become satisfied lhat the prin
ciples and policy of the democratic party,
if not best adapted to a wise and success-
I ful administration of the federal govern
ment, arc, at all events, sp far in harmo
ny with the natural and spontaneous sen
timents of a majority of the people, that
they cannot be kept down without an unu
sual resort to means which experience has
shown are greatly injurious to society and
bring discredit upon republican institu
tions; for which even the lull success of j
i their favorite theory could not adequately j
i atone. Reflections of this nature are, I
) doubt not, at this moment gradually rna- j
j luring an opinion in the ranks of our op- :
I ponents. This feeling may not be avow. !
| ed or even acted upon to any very great
! extent in the approaching election, but it is .
to rny mind quite certain that it may be |
■ brought into full and overwhelming effect j
by the success of the Democratic nomi
nees for the various pests of honor and
power in the Federal Government if fol- j
j lowed up by an honest administration of
its powers upon the principles which will I
; have carried them into office and are pre
ferred by a majority of the people.
The address which accompanies your j
I invitation does you great honor. The
opportunity to which you refer, of once j
more taking by the hand the venerable
patriot in your vicinity will doubtless be
• embraced by every sincere Democrat who
i has it in his power tp do so. For myself,
1 need hot sky new painful is the access! -
i tv which compels me to ueny myself the
i gratification of again meeting, anti that
i on an occasion of so much interest, one,
the recollection of whose public services
will survive the ravages of time, and for
whom I cherish feelings of respect and ■
esteem, which can only terminate with
! rny life.
It breathes also in other respects a spir
it such as might be expected from the
pure principles which from personal know
ledge ! am sure you cherish, and does no
more than justice to the patriotic charac
ter of those you represent. To regard
yourselves in your relations with your fel
low-citizens of the Union as ‘rone people,
cherishing alike the principles that are es
sential to the strength, prosperity and per
| petuily of our glorious system of govern
ment;” to know no line, real or imagina
ry, which can separate the North from the
| South, or the East from the West, in feel
! ing, in interest, or in fact; to leek upop
1 the common blood of a common ancestry
I as a frond pf union which cannot be weak
| ened by a geographical line; that Union
of which the “American Eagle is the
guardian, the Stars and Stripes the shield”
—to regard the question of annexing
! Texas, (which has been so extensively
and warmly agitated) as a National one;
: to favor the acquisition of that territo
| ry, because you believe it necessary to
| strengthen the Union, and to secure to us
. “peace, harmony and increased prosper!-
I ty;” to anticipate the completion of that
| measure without any sacrifice of the na
i tional faith and honor, and without resort
; ing to any other principle in the adminis
tration of the Government than that which
I makes the will of the majority the law of
; the land, when constitutionally obtained
1 and expressed, are sentiments which come
j with great propriety from the State which
I has the honor of supplying the Democra
j cy qf the Union with their candidate for
! the Presidency, and to which you are
i fully justified in anticipating a cordial re-
I Honest differences of opinion
may exist among friends in regard to the
| means to be employed to carry the opin
i ions you have advanced into practical ef
fect, but that circumstance does not de
tract from their soundness, nor impeach
| their validity. The efforts of honest men
i for the accomplishment of great and lau
i dable objects are seldom if ever exempt
' from such inconveniences, since it is not
j to be expected that even the most the
i rough coincidence as to objects, will al
ways be followed by equal unanimity in
; the adoption of the means for their attain
ment.
1 am. gentlemen, very respectfully and
, truly, vour friend,
M. VAN BUREN.
To Felix Robertson, J. J. B. Southall, dc
A. J. Donaldson, Ex. Com. A:c.
(sv“At a largepeeling of the Democra
: cy of Charleston, on the 19th instant, the
I following report and resG.Mti.Qns were
i unanimously adopted, which were pre
j sented by Col. F. H. Elmore, Chairman
i of the committee appointed to take into
j consideration the course which the pre-
I sent condition of public affairs makes it
I advisable should be adopted by the cleroo
! cratic party of Charleston.
REPORT.
The present situation of public affairs,
j as regards both National and State policy,
i affords abundant cause for anxious solici
tude, and calls for the exercise, in regard
| to the first, of the greatest calmness, con
sideration and prudence, and in the latter,
; of the most fraternal conciliation and for
' bearance. In general politics, however
subdivided, the whole country is ranged
into two great parties, Democratic and
: Whig; .the former having, we believe, the
; largest portion of the people of the United
Slates, and comprehending in its ranks,
i not only a very great majqrity of the pco-
I pie of the slave-holding States, having in
terests and sympathies identical with us,
j but what is mg re material to South Caro
; lina, almost every man in them or in the
other States, whose principles coincide
1 with hers, and whose wishes, opinions, and
position ought therefore to be considered
i and respected by her. On the other hand,
; the Whig party ranges under its broad
bankers, those who are inimical to all the
principles and views of administrative poli
cy. on which hang, not our prosperity
I merely, but our very safety and existence,
i comprehending in its ranks, the insatiable
j tariffite, who unscrupulously plunders the
j earnings of our property and labor, and
the deadliest foes ot our domestic peace,
! the Abolitionists, who are plotting for for
i eign interference, to rob us of our proper
ty itself. The struggle for the mastery
between these two great parties rapidly
i approaches to its first and most important
1 arbitrament, the election of President.—
i With their hearts warmly enlisted, and
their hopes greatly raised, our friends, in
every State in the Union, are tasking
j every energy for a victory. With them
; and wilh many in our own ranks in South
: Carolina, this is looked on as the greatest
present issue, which will decide more
questions of paramount importance than
any other, perhaps involving the destinies
;of the country itself. While many of us
j may regret that it should so absorb all
other questions in the public mind, we can
neither deny nor change the fact. It has
taken too deep a hold upon the thoughts
and .feelings of men to oc overcome; we
could not change it if we would, and it is
therefore the part of wisdom to shape our
own course so as to make out of events as
they are, the most we can for our cause,
our friends and our country. No one can,
in candor, deny the vast importance of
f ♦his election; for while there is no great
probability lhat any section or sub-divi
sions of either of the great parties will
gain all itdesires in the success of the can- !
didate it supports, it is equally clear
that it will gain nothing and must lose
every thing by the success of its adversa
ry. In our own particular case, if we do i
| not gain all we would desire, if the demo- j
cratic party prevail, we most certainly |
must lose all, if the whigs triumph.
Wbile there is much more that may
enure to our advantage frorp, a victory by
cur parry, the very least of its fruits must,
besides the annexation of Texas, be the :
defeat of whiggery and abolitionism, and
the consequent rescue of the Constitution, |
our country, and ourselves from their ,
baleful domination—enough in themselves
to insure the salvation ofihe south, and to
nerve a patriot heart to the battle and to
j reward us for its toils and dangers.
\V ith these views the committee recom- |
i mend the adoption of the following resol u- 1
lions as embodying the results of their de- !
liberations qn the subject referred to.
Resolved, That deliberate reflection has :
hut served to confirm our former convic
lions, that the great struggle now pending
between the democratic and whig parties,
j it is not only our duty but our wisest po
i licy to make common cause with cur !
! friends and the friends of our institutions
I against the dangerous, disorganizing and
J unconstitutional doctrines arid designs of
the whigs and abolitionists, and especial
ly, lhat we shall redeem our faith in the j
Presidential canvass and election, by giv
ing our cordial, vigorous and united sup
port to James K. Polk and George M.
Dallas.
Resolved 2nd, That while we are fully
sensible that the partial and oppressive
; action of the General Government on the
! people, property and industrial pursuits of
! the South is not relaxed but has been ag
i gravated by the perfidious breach of the
I faith, pledged in the compromise of 1823,
I snd the passage of the odious Tariff of
1842, w’e yet see in the present condition
; and prospects of public affairs and in the
I position and wishes of our Democratic
| friends in other States, reasons sufficiently
| strong to induce us to deprecate as a great
! calamity any division and conflict amongst
! our brethren in this State, and to make it
: our duty to disagree to the course proposed
| by a portion of them so .as as to forbear at
: present to resort to the so.verign action of
j the State to redress our grievances. Be
j cause,
First. There are very mapy amongst
ourselves and our friends elsewhere
(whose opinions are worthy of all respect
from us) who have not lost every hope of
redress “from a returning sense of justice
in the the Democratic party,” should it
| succeed in the coming elections, especially
i while they see the continued and decided
| extension of free trade principles in the
new Agricultural States which-are rapid
| ly growing into power and influence in the
l West and North West.
Second. By the election of James K.
Polk and the defeat of Henry Clay, a sub
st;uu.ial victory wijl be gained for the Con
stitution, —the Presidential power and in
fluence will be in the hands of a Southern
man—a friend of free trade and identified
with us and our institutions, and an enemy
i of the Protective policy and Abolitionism
; —and we ought not, by any action of our
: State, to embarrass or lessen the chances
; of his election in which much may be
| gained, or cause his defeat whereby so
i much must be lost, and by which we shall ■
| draw on ourselves the blame of our friends
in other States, change their kind feeling
into coldness, perhaps resentment and hos- i
tility, by unnecessarily weakening and I
embarrassing them, and thus increasing i
the numbers and spirit of our enemies and |
adding tq egr difficulties in obtaining jus
tice.
Third. The union of those States hav
ing interests, property and institutions,
identical with our own, or of a portion of
them, against the tariff and abolition, and
for the great American measure, the An
nexation of Texas, is of the highest impor
tance, and should be procured if possible,
so that they may present with us one
; course of measures and action; and unt'l
j an effort has been fairly made and failed
I to obtain such Constitutional consultation
I and co-operation as will produce it, it is
; not advisable for South Carolina to resort
| to her own separate action.
4. Resolved, That if relief from these j
j sources fail, and the present oppressions j
| still remain upon the people of this State, j
| they will be no longer under obligations j
! to defer to the wishes or opinions of oth- !
; ers, but be .free to consult together and
| adopt those ulterior modes and measures
i of redress, which their sense of duty to ’
j themselves and their posterity may dic
tate.
5. Resolved. That with the perfect con
viction that in Union is strength, and lhat i
( by pursuing this course, we may keep I
: our party united, and best preserve the in- |
I fluence and power of our State at home !
and amongst her co-states, we earnestly |
appeal to our brother Democrats, who are I
for the present action of this State, to for- j
! bear, and.-to jpjn with us in preserving the i
unity of the party, and turning its .whole !
power and efforts against our common
enemies the -V/higs and Abolitionists.
6. Resolved, That the charge that S.
.Carolina is seeking a dismemberment of
this Union, or has countenanced any such i
measure is gratuitous and has no founda- j
tion in fact, and that it would be unworthy
IPUB——MBS—sas
of even this notice, had not Mr. Clay, the
whig candidate for the Presidency, allow- j
ed himself to be so far imposed upon as
to betray him into countenancing, in a
published letter, this miserable and ca- !
; lumnioqs imputation upon a loyal people, |
! of whom his recent and social intercourse
i should have taught him to judge more
I truthfully.
7. Resolved. That with an unchanged |
confidence in the firmness, consistency, |
wisdom and patriotism of John C. Cal-
I houn, and while we are still deeply sen- j
sible of the value of his long, faithful and ■
; eminent public service, we take this op- 1
portunity to acknowledge the additional
i obligations to our gratitude and admira
tion which he has established bv the dig
; nity, ability and wise Statesmanship with
which he has in the Department of State
| maintained the honor and interests of our j
| country, and especially those of the slave
• holding States, against the insidious de
i signs and the arrogant assumptions of G.
j Britain, and also for his efforts for the
! Annexation of Texas, and we hereby ten
der him the only reward in our power,
the homage of the undiminished erratitude
and affection of his old constituents.

GUM SHOEST
A correspondent of the Journal of Com- '
merce gives the following account of the j
collecting and moulding of the caoutchouc
in Brazil:
After dinner we were shown over the
place, and entering the neighboring for- i
est, were shown the caoutchouc tree. —
They grow, in general, to the height of
forty or fifty feet without branches, then ;
branching run up fifteen feet higher.—
The leaf is about six inches long, thin,
and shaped like that of a peach tree. —
The trees shew their work ing .by the num
: her of knots, or bunches made by tapping; j
I and a singular fact is, that like a cow, !
| when most tapped, they give most rqilk j
i or sap.
As the time of operating is .early day, 1
were obliged to content ourselves with |
viewing the utensils and moulds used by
the shoemakers, awaiting until next morn
: ing to see the modus operandi. Accord
ingly before sunrise we were on hand.—
The blacks are first sent through the for- 1
est, armed with a quantity ofsoft clay and
a small pickaxe. .On coming to one of the
trees, a portion of the soft clay is formed
into a cup and stuck to the trunk. The *
black then striking his pick over the cup, i
the sap oozes out slowly—a tree giving
daily about a gill. The tapper continues i
in this way, tapping perhaps fifty trees,
when he returns, and with a jar, passing i
i over the same ground, empties his cups. :
| By seven o’clock the blacks come in with
; thei r jars, ready for work ing.
The sap at this stage resembles milk in
i appearance, and somewhat in taste. It is ;
| also frequently drunk with perfect safety,
j If left standing now, it will curdle like
■ milk, disengaging a watery substance like
j whey.
Shoemakers now arrange themselves to
i c
; form the gum. Seated in the shade, with j
| a large pan of milk cn one side, and on
! the other a fogon, in which is burned a
nut peculiar to this country, emitting a
dense smoke, the operator having his last,
or form, hedd by a long stick or handle,
previously besmeared with soft clay, (in
order to slip off the shoe when finished.)
holds it over the pan, and pouring cn the i
milk until it is covered, sets the coating in
hie smoke; then giving it a second coat,
repeats .the smoking; and soon, with a
third and fourth, until the shoe is ofihe
required thickness, averaging from six
to twelve coats. When finished, the shoes
on the forms are placed in the sun the
remainder of the day, to drip. Next dav 1

if required, they may be figured, beine
so soft mat any impression will be indelibly
receive*!. The natives are very dexter
ous in this work. With a quill and sharp
pointed stick, they will produce finely
lined leaves and flowers, such as you
may have seen on the shoes, in an incre
dibly short space of time. After remain,
ing on the forms two or three bays, the
shoes are cut open on top, allowing the
last to slip out. They are then tied to
gether and slung on poles, ready for mar
ket. There pedlers and Jews trade for
them with the country people; and in lots
of a thousand or more, they are again
sold to the merchants, who have them
slutted with straw, and packed in boxes
to export in which state they are received
in the United States. In the same man
ner, any shape may be manufactured.
Thus toys are made over clay forms. Af
ter drying. the clay is broken and extract
ed. Bottles, etc., in the same way. Ac
cording as the gum grows older, it be
comes darker in color, and more tough.
The number of Caoutchouc trees in this
province is countless'. In seme parts
whole forests of them exist, and they are
i frequently cut down for firewood- Al
. though this tree exists in Mexico and the
East Indies, there appears to be no im
portation into the United Slates from those
places. The reason, I suppose, must bo
the want of that prolificness found in
: them here.
The Caoutchouc tree may be worked
| all the year; but generally in the wet sea
i son they have rest, owing to the flooded
; stale of the woods, and the milk being wa
tery, requires more to manufacture the
same article than in the dry season.
