Caldwell, now in possession of Col. J. H. WHEE LER . For terms aprly to the EDITOR, or ADAM ' 01,..4w ‘ ‘ALEXANDEP Letters received by the Committee of Invitation for the De mocratic State Convention, held at Salisbury the 20th of May, 1542. Washington City, May 10, 1842. Gentlemen : Yours of the 18th uh,, inviting me to be present at the Democratic Convention, to be held in Salisbury the 20th inst.j was received a few days ago. I am under the necessity of deny ing myself the pleasure it wquld afford me, to be present on so interesting an occasion. But ahhough I cannot be present at the Convention, I concur cordially in the motives in which it originated, and the objects, which, I suppose it was designed to ac complish. In the political contcst heretofore waged, our ad versaries enjoyed an advantage, which tney can en joy no longer. They were enabled ta fight in am bush, as it were. While they assailed the adminis tration they were striving to overthrow, with unpa ralleled rancor, and bitterness, niarked by a recur rence to means, as injurious to morals, as degrading to the national character, they were enabled to keep their own measures, and principles out of view. Such is no longer the case. During, and since the Extra Session of Congress, tlieir principles, and po licy, have been sufficiently developed, to enable the country to judge of their character, and tendency. ^I^iey have redeemed their pledges of reform, made before the election which brought them into pow'er, by turning out the Democrats, and filling their ofii ces with their own partisans—in some instances, of the most abandoned and proffigate character. They resumed their pledges of retrenchment, by voting to discontinfie a few pages, and clerks, belonging to the House of Representatives, and afterwards agree ing to retain them. And their pledges of economy, have been signally fulfilled, by enlarging the pub lie expenditures, from about t.tenty-two and a fourth millions, exclusive of payraenls for trust funds, treasury notes, &c., the last year of Mr. Van Bu ren’s administration, to tbout twenty-six and a fourth millions; and including payments for trust funds treasury notes, tfcc., to upwards of thirty.-two mill ions. As a further illustration, as well of their love of economy, as of their repugnance to a Nationa Debt, they have voted away the proceeds of the public lands, and authorised a public debt of tw’en ty-two millions of dollars, to the five and a half mil lions of treasury notes, outstanding, v/hen they took charge of the Government. And as the natura’ fruit, and no doubt, a grand design of the measures I have mentioned, they increased the duties on im ports, at the last Session of Congress, to twenty per cent, on all articles, free raving le^s du ty" inaa TvVgnty per ^nt; except tea. conee, ypecie, bullion, and a list of articles, chiefly lor the use o' the manufactures: and during the present Session they will give us, in all probability, by way of their promised relief to the people, one of the most op pressive tariffs we have ever had. And had it not been for the consistency, and firmness of the Presi dent, they would have fastened upon »he country, notwithstanding their anti bank avowals, when struggling for power, a National Bank, as a sort of Primurri Mobile, or mainspring, of the paper sys tem ; rendering its expansive and contractive effects, more extensive, and more disastrous. Such are some of the measures, and such, the po licy of the party now in power. A policy, well adapted to advance the interest of the manufactu rers, and capitalists, speculators, stockjobbers and brokers; but highly injurious to the other classes, and greatly unequal in reference to the difierent sec tions of the Union. A Protective Tarifi’, not only makes one portion of the Union tributary to anoth er. but actually taxes all other classes, for the bene fit of the manufacturers; W^hile the paper system, in the loose, and unrestrained condition, in which it has existed, with a National Ixink to wield it, by the opportunities it aflbrds for profitable investments, and the harvests for speculation, stockjobbing, and brokerage, occasioned by its expansion and contrac tion, is well suited to promote the interests of the capitalists, speculators, stockjobbers, and brokers; but is most pernicious in its effects, upon the labor ing and producing classes. But although the system of our adversaries is calculated to promote the interest of the fow, at the expense of the manj^, it renders those few, by the means, of influencing others, which the system it self aflbrds, a formidable corps. The manufactu rers draw to its support, thousands, and tens of thou sands, in the numerous operatives, that crowd ‘.heir extensive establishments; while the stockholders, di rectors, and bank officers, numerous in themselves, and generally in the ranks of our opponents, enlist in its behalf, hundreds of thousands, w'ho are depen dent upon Bank facilities. The very nature of their avocations too, ijives them great advantages, in pro pagating the plausible, and spacious arguments, by which their system is maintained. They throng the cities, towns, and villages—frequent the public hotels, end taverns—crowd the steamboats, and railroad cars, seldom foregoing an opportunity to operate upon public opinion and by their patronage of the press, secure to their cause more than a just share of the newspapers of the country. That such a system, thus supported, should find advocates in many—very many, whose interest is opposed to it, is not to be w’ondered at. But as in Great Britain, a similar system, having contributed to make missionaries, of the privileged and favour ed few, but squalid, and wretched paupers, of mil lions of the people, by the progress of free, and li beral principles, is about to be greatly relaxed in its restrictions, for the benefit of the many ; so here, as the restrictive system, coupled with its bank enor mities, public debt, and high taxes, is closely exam ined, and attentively considered, it must yield to a system, predicated upon the assumption, that the great, and ultimate end of Government, is not to ccrtifer privileges, and bounties upon the few, at the expense of the many ; but to secure to all, the frnits of their acquisitions, with the least possible burdens, and therefore, opposed to a national debt, and to high taxes, and in favor of the utmost freedom of trade with all the w’orld, which the expenditures of the Government, economically administered, after the application of the proceeds of the public lands, \vill allow. The system, whi.’h i‘ is the object of our oppo- nentc^ to fas.tu upou ii:e co'dstry, not only camptE* lends in substance the pernicious measures of the misnamed American system, {Bank, Protective Tariff, and hitcrnal Improvements, substancialli/ involved in the di?trikiition policy.) of the blight ing effects of which, the country, and particularly IPea- the South, has had such bitter experience; but is aggravated by some features, which I have not mentioned, and to which, the limits of a letter will scarcely permit me to refer. 1 will only allude to the provision in the apportionment bill, as it passed the House of Representatives, taking from the States, the liberty of prescribing the mode of electing iheir representatives to Congress; the Resolution, among other things, for inquiring into the expediency of is suing, on the part of the General Government, one hundred millions of the three per cent, stock, for dis tribution among the States, introduced in the House, by a conspicuous member of tho Whig party; and the Resolution introduced in the Sena‘.e, by their leader himself, in elTect, to strike the Veto power from the Constitution; to say nothing oi tiie danger ous principle, involved in the distribution policy ol exerting the taxing power of the Federal Govern ment, for all purposes of State policy; virtually ren dering its powers unlimited. 1 can truly say, that my limited acquaintance with the political history of the country, furnishes me w’ith no act of the old Federal party, even in their reign -of terror, more more consolidating in its character, and more alarm ing in its tendency, than the measures to which 1 have referred. To arrest tho progress of such policy, and check its rapid tendency to consolidation, is demanded of the grgat body of the American people, by every consideration which animates freemt'n—by patriot ism—by their own interest—vvith which to niy mind, the policy itself, is so much in conflict. In most of the States of the Union, the people have given indications, that they understand its true char acter; and have fixed upon it, the seal of their con demnation. In State after State, has W’’liiggery, worse than ancient Federalism, been triiimphandy defeated; and almost without eflbrt on the part ol the Democracy. It is believed, that at this time, Whiggery is in tho ascendancy, in no State, except Massachusetts, Vermont, and Kentuclcy, and per haps Delaware; unless tlie old i^orth State, the land of the pure, and venerated Macon, should in (he next elections, take her stand by the side of Massachusetts, the nursery of Federalism ; and in opposition to her Republican sister States. Wheth er she will so far forget her profession of Republican ism, as to follow in the wake of Massachusetts; or animated by the spirit which impelled her sons, on the twentieth of May, 1775, to vow eternal hostility, to the pretensions of the British crow’n, will cvince . ^ ■ yp o M* i iiw ^'^^inopfcS, tuotc insidious and ci' ar( r iovern- 0 upon the Federal Standard when it is v.-aved df%-» ty, more profligate and abandcn-'d in its r^lb sures than any that ever cxi^tti in tho lori^i ry of our Republic. If there be anyone poliiical propositioi to my mind than any o’.her, it i-?, that liiis men: cannot be administered, in time of pet ultra Federal pvinciplts. The party tn|it uempts it will always be prostrated. There is m. ibiding devotion in the great mass of tlie people f theS'j States t'> the forbearing and Reptiblicaa.| ncipUs of the Constitution. There may be a, !€ porary delusion, but there is an everlasting fbtnitaji spring ing up pure from the hearts of an un^- r\.i and honest yeomanry, that will ever cleanse t; ■ impu rities of our system and the corruptionsfo( he day. I congratulate yon upon the redeemin:| 3j i l: »f :i free people as manifested in our tri;jip.pis ; the re cent elections in the ditilrfnt States ot the c cy.

That such will be her determination, after a calm, and deliberate consideration, of the pernicious principles, involved in the measures, and policy of our adversa ries, there is much reason to hope. And let it be borne in mind by the Democracy, that in conse quence of the important matters which will devolve upon the next Legislature, in electing a United States Senator, and arranging the senatorial and Congressional Dietncts, and county representation, the result of the next elections, may influence the political character of the State for years to come, that their efforts, may be proportioned to the magni tude of the stake, involved in the contest.

I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your polite invitation, to meet my De mocratic friends at Sahsbur}', on the 20th of this month, to consnlt together on the mca'tt’-es proper to be adopted, io sustain the principles of the Con stitution—in protect popular rights—and I regret most sincerely, that my legislative duties w’ill de prive me of the pleasure of uniting with them on so important, and interesting an occasion. The system of measures which have characterized the Whig party since it came into power, as well calculated to alarm all the friends of State rights, calls loudly upon every advocate of a strict construction of the Constitution, and an economical administration of the Government, to exert themselves to arrest a course of policy, which, if persevered in, cannot fail to be destructive of the sovereignty of the States, and greatly burthensome to the people. a North Carolinian by birth, and education, I trust 1 shall be pardoned for saying, that I have felt deep mortitlcation. at seeing my native State ar ray herself on the side of those who v/ould fasten upon the country, a heavy funded debt—a National Bank—a Distribution of the proceeds of the sales of the Public Lands—and a consequent high Tariff of duties. I trust in God your efforts may prove suc cessful—and that the virtuous old State of my birth, convinced of the evils which W’hig rule is likely to bring upon the country, will be found in future, with'" her sister States of the South, marching under the Republican Banner, For the flattering terms in w'hich you gentlemen have been pleased to make known the wishes of those you represent, accept my heart felt thanks.
