Gentlemen: I have been honored by ittiiii- -J-,, io your Senaiors and the members of your lelegatiou in Congress, who have concur red vviih ihem, on the great and agitating qnrstioii of the day. The great distance and my engagements 'ompel rue ichictaiitly to decline your kind and flattering invitation. I l is dihiciih to over estimate the impor tance oi the great measure, which now en grosses the public attention; and tlmse who would hold it up, as a question ol small uiagitiiitde, winle thev denounce it and all who support it in the mot unmea--tired ami bitter lerms, act neither sincere ly nor honestly. In whatever light ii may iir.vcu, it is a q-ieMion oi me in si m ig- nig in asserting, that the hanking system, ihroiigh its connection with ihe Govern ment, is eff cting, and if not arrested, will elk-el, one ol the. greatest revolutions in the political and moral condition of ihe world of which history ha left any recor.!; and, let me add, one of the most pernicious, il permuted lo progress, it will elevate the money power above all others above thrones and principalities, laws and con siitutions. h has already acquired in ou country an almost unlimited control ovei the fortune of individuals and the busines.-s of the ou.inuuiiv . By granting, or with holding favours; by expanding or contract ing the curren' V, fortunes are made, oi lost, and the whole business of the com munity, thioiigh pvi ry channel of indu iry, is mad'- to prosper, or decay. Meiihei good, iir bad seasons neither the smiles, nor frowns id Providence, exercise a more controlling influence lor good or evil, over he fortune id individuals, or the commo n. unity . It Ls in vain, thai the bounty ol Heaven shall bless the laud with seasons f pl iiiy and health, a sudden contrac tion, or a suspension of payment, soreads ruin and dcMilation around, and plunges into poverty thousands, who but a mo ment before, believed themselves to be in independent, or .ifllaenl circumstances. iN'ooue, who has obseived the opci aliens n' ih last ars, can doubt Ihe truth ol this p'rtnre, and thai, the power, as great as it now is, has not reached the maximum of its increase. Now I would a-k, U there a man so blind, as not to see the dtdicsiug eoissequences, whieh must follow, morally and politically, by thus elevating the mo .ey above all oilier powers, in ihe State, and giving it such overwhelming control.3 (Ian it be done without debasing that no ble and independent spirit, which created ,,r I'tee institutions, and without which it is impossible to maintain ihem? Can it I uc none, n iiiiuiu -in c-oiiou uvci iuc lanu I... ,i :.i . I - .1... i.,.l one all-absorbing spirit of gain, which shall extinguish all the more elevated feel ings of our nature, and raise him, who may dispense the favors of banks in publii estimation, over the philosopher, the statesman, the divine, tiie patriot, ihe war rior, or those engaged in the active and pi 'ductive pursuits of society? Can ibis be done without inveiting the order of ihe moral woild, and bringing down, in the end, on the people who may have ihe folly and the weakness lo permit it, oiaheard ol calamitiet? To guard against these, it is clear, thai something must be done to prevent men private corporations from . exercising such unlimited control over the currency of the country, and, through it, the fortunes ol individuals and the community. 1 o tfler t this 1 can imagine no measure more simple, effectual, and practicable, than the entire and final divorce of ihe unholy and un constitutional connection between govern ment and banks "the great measure ol deliverance and liberty ," as happily ex pressed by the able and patriotic stales man (Gen,. Gordon) who will have the lasting honour of having first proposed it in Congress. This once adopted, the whole system may be gradually and safely reformed, as experience and reflection may point out, and the country saved from un numbered woes. Permit me in conclusion to offer the fol lowing sentiment. The great and leading measure of the age It rests upon the imperishable foun dation of truth, and though it may be de feated at first, its final triumph, if support ed with energy and perseverauc, is cer tain. Wilh great respect, 1 am, &c. Sec, J. C. CALHOUN. Calvin Graves, Esq., and others of the Committee. Mr. Strangers Letter to the Committee Wadesborougu, Sept. lSih, 1838. Gentlemen : Your polite and kind invitation to par- take of a public dinner to be given by n. portion of the Republican patty cd the county of Caswell to their Senators and Representatives in the Congress of the U. Stales, at Vancey v ille, on the 28ih inst., reached me at this place on the day before yesterday. 1 avail myself of the first mail to reply, apprehensive that my answer may not reach you in time. il is vviih sincere regret that I must de cline availing myself of your invitation, on account of the interference of professional claims. My gratitude is, however, as warm, and my wishes no less sincere, that your convivial meeting may be productive ol good not only to yourselves but to our country. In times like the present, when party rancour spaits nothing to prostrate every man whom I'm tune may have placed in the public service when motives and con duct alike are misunderstood or misiepre sented any expression of kindness is felt likrf balm upon an inhaled wound; and but for occasional encouragemenl of that or a like kind, there are very few public servants whose slrenglh would prove suffi cient to sustain the burthens daily laid upon them. Nothing more need be said io express how fully your invitation is ap preciated. Some of those who differ wilh us in po litics, are strangely wanting in charity or in sincerity, in the wholesale denunciations w hieh they make against us as a party, hi the former if they believe us as bad as l hey represent us, and in the latter if not s believing they so declare. I am su.ry hat in some instances ihe example sel us on the other side has been follow td by some on ours; and I could most sincerely wish that malevolence too frequently ex hibited on their part bad been oflener met and rebuked by dignified forbearance oil ours. Every man u( sense and observa tion must have seen and fell ihe ell' a t of political difference in magnify ing the faults and concealing ihe merits of tho-e opposed lo us; and tin s seeing and feeling every good man ouphi studiously to guard him self against such influence. Passion never ycl aided in ihe ascertainments of truth, and if we are sincere in our professions we cannot fail to perceive that what U best for our country can be much more speedily and surely ascertained by calm discussion of facts and principles than by mutual impassioned denunciations of individuals. I doubt not lhat a large majority of all parties are sincere in their prolessions ot patriotism and all that is wauling, in my opinion, to produce more unanimity among our citizens in their political views is to depose passion from the throne of reason which she has so boldly and impiously usurped. But while personal charity should be scrupulously observed and pas sion, invective and denunciation carefully avoided, there should be no compromise of principle; truth should be sought for with diligence, and when found firmly maintained. I expect as litlle deference for my opinions as any man. Such as they are, 1 have endeavored on all occa sions to express them frankly and fearless ly. If I have not done so with ability, I can with confidence appeal to Heaven and my own conscience, that I have done so at leas, in most unfeigned sincerity. Whether the opinions m expressed by me on the great question more immediate ly agitating the country meet the com urrcncf of a ma jority of tlie ciiiztos of the State which I have ihe honor in pari to represent, is, 1 confess, reduced in my mind lo a matter of much doubt. I do not feel the confidence that I fell a few weeks since, that a majo rity is with me. Yet 1 feel very far from being convinced lhat a majority is against me. This last, I am welt aware, would appear to be a startling declaration. Those who believe me wrong ia my views, and therefore feel a very natural desire that others should think so too, are tho roughly convinced that the majority is against me, and would no doubt wonder that the same facts which have as they imagine led them to this conclusion have not wrought the same convictions upon me, and would perhaps be so uncharitable as to pronounce my incredulity feigned. Of such I would ask, does the evidence which satisfies the Roman Catholic of the real presence in the Eucharist produce that conviction upon their minds? Or do they believe wilh the Musselman, not only that there is one God, but that Mahomet is his prophet? Even honest men see things differently according to the lights in which they view them, and no man can claim en tire exemption from the misleading influen ces of prejudice. But whether so fortu nate as to have the concurrence of a ma iorilv or not. mv public course has been jdictated by the deepest conviction that it was the course most consistent wun me m stiiutionsand welfare of our country.
