it would alord me pleasure to accept the iuvitntioa
which you Iraye tendered nie in beliAlfnl (beDem
ocratic Convention, to attend their adjourned meet.
ing, to be convened at Sulisbury on the iQilt iimU ;
but as they do out, 1 am compelled lo decline ac
, ceptirtg. . .
. Vnu do not mistake, io considering the present
as a M gloomy criaia " in our a flairs. Never befure
has the Uovernmupl been surrycnrled by so many
and such formidable 'difficult!', both, within and
without. I ahail pass over the latter, without no
- lice, aa they are now the subject of ocgutialiun,
which, I niuverely hopo, may terminate in an lion,
orable end satisfactory adjustment of all difficulties
between the two countries, and limit my notice of
the fom er to a few brief remarks. . ;
On taking a survey of our internal aflair, it will
be found, thut instead of the promised reform,'
things have beeo growing woroi daily ever aince
those, who now have the control, succeeded lb
power ; the revenue decreasing and the experuli.
lure increasing ; new loan contracting and public
, credit decaying ; borrowing on usurious terms and
squandering with wasteful extravagance, followed
by a rapidly increasing public debt, :o a period of
peace, Unit threatens in a lew years to equal the
debt of the Revolution ; and all this without one
cnaiblo manly tflort to arreat tho downward courte
of the Government. So larfrom that, tho present
- critical cotiilition of our afljirs is not only regarded
with comp acency by a portion of those who have
the control, but has buen bctught about intention
illy, a ittdispausablo towards ncoimplisliing tlift
long cherished oi'kcts of the ptrty ; a Pioteetive

to burthuuing her penphr with a public detit, 'and
high tuxes ; so just and equal in the exercise of its

tho receipt of your letter of invitaMon to th" u IXun

on the 20ili of May.' It could hot ho nmre grait

out and to untie is I. most cordially sh.iuld, in
cheering 011 tho freemen of tlio State " in the great
contest before us."- But wich is tho na'.urt of th
business now pending bofure Congress us to lor bid

plonsed to bestow oti roy past services, I can assure
yoa whatever of ilevotim I may hsvo mauifes'.e&
r"to the Constitution and popular rtghtV'-i not
r likely lo -be abntcdnl a crisis so all important a
the present- s .
Tho position as yen know, in which I was pbu-ed

- these chargtia, aa well aa tho imimcr in which th.x
professions and high wrogit proinisi's to the cmiit

truth, .it that otliotal corruptxm existed, -which I
had heard so repeatedly ctwrgctlagainst tho oil
cersof ilw lato adiiiiiiitratioii, ami which Iho pub
vliomay havo bocn led tu believe, tho veil ha not
as yet boon removed. So in tegard to the public

of popular declamatiou and o Whij inisrrptesenta
' lion, wo now havo from the report nt the prcaent
Secretary t the Treusury that Iho expense of
lh Government during tha two last years of Mr.
t Vuii Bureu'a udmmialration, wero, for 1839, less
than twenty-fivo and a half millions, and for Is 10.
a li'tlo moro than twenty-two anil one-third millions
of dollar, whilot according to the sanio'authoriiy
iliexpeus;of 1811, exclusive of any debt or
Treasury noter, were more than twenty. five and

utid agniii In deceive the peoplf, by throwing xltor
reapoiiwbility upon Preidont Tylor, and donounct
ing bim. as a traitor, ia an insult to tho common
understanding of tho Country. With an Kxccu

being held responsible i for lit acts of tho"
National Legislature. If the people expect relief
to tbe country, theymust look to other counsels,. '
than lo those who hive promised ;6 much, and
