wn ine un. me speaker presemru evil. it makes us slaves to me oaa pns-
to the Hous"! of Commons the following i sons not only of ourselves, but of others
letter from IV. II. Haywood, Jr. Esq aso. It destroys the salutary influence of

gress of the United States from North Ca-jand legislators for the Union, though be
rolina, with a request that 1 would accept i longing to opposite parties, may happen to
the same. j concur without bad faith in either ques
It has become so much a matter of course lions upon which it were as factious to ad
to make professions of gratitude for public J
favor, that I am not without apprehension
such professions from ine will be regarded
as a mere form. But called, as I have
been, without any s dicitation of mine, to
assume the icsponsibilities of so distinguish
ed a station in the service of North Caroli
na, it is but a faint exptesion of my feel
ings to declare th tt I thank you wiih all
my heart for this mark ot )Otir confidence.
Thoutrh onnressed with a painful dis'rust
of mv ability to do the half of what my af
fection for the State would prompt me to
undertake in her behalf, still I believe it is
my duty not to decline your nomination.
1 would that 1 had more experience and
greater capacity for the patriotic wot k.
Such as I have shall be brought to it with
out reserve. Our State enjoys, as she de
serves, an enviable reputation for honesty
and disinterestedness. In her devotion to
lilxrty and the Union, she has been second
to none. For submission to lawful author
ity, a reverence for law and order, and a
general regard for personal lights, 1 do be
lieve there is not such anoiher people in
the world. Thee virtues, while tney dis
tinguish the character of the State, do at
the same time furnish strong motives for
laithfulness in her public agents. I trust it
may be in my power to shew my own ap
preciation other partiality, by always re
garding the station as-igieil to me as an in
strument to advance her welfare. And if,
in the order of Providence, it should be
my lot to accomplish any great good, or to
assist others in accomplishing it to pre
vent any setious evils to our common
country and to North Carolina in particu-
I hr, or to aid others in preventing them, t
shall hereafter rejoice more that the good
work was done, than I shall tnat l ain ii,
and much more than I now dan that 1 have
been choen hy you to attempt it
On the other h nd, should it be my mis
fortune to fail altogether, and to lose at the
close the confidence which has been so ge
nerously bestowed in the outset, my friendar
shall not find a reason for my failure in the
lack of z. al to do all nly duly to North Ca
rolina; nor will my enemies be able to at
tribute it, in any degree, to a violation of,
previous pledges; for, beyond such as my
known political principles have authorised
you fairly to infer, I am bound by noothef
pledges whatever. I do not affect to be ig
norant thai my election t the Senate wai
made by the Democratic party; and 1
should spurn the thought of deserting the
principles of that partv after having been
chosen to fill so exalted a post for the very
purpose ot helping to sustain them. 1 am
myself heartily and conscientiously a -mocral.
It is the common lot of public men to en
counter calumny and misrepresentation
that would seem to be a tax imposed by
freedom upon patriotism; and 1 am not so
vain as to expect to go free. May I not
however be permitted on this occasion
without censure from any quarter, to be
speak the candor of all just men against
those suspicions which are so common, but .
so well calculated to Weaken the hands of a
representative? 1 do it more for the office
of Slate Senator than for myself; not so
modi to protect my own feelings as to for
tify the station I must occupy suspicion,
I mean, of the political integrity of a repi e--entative,
begetting dis'rust, if he fails on
all occasions to range himself as a servile
follower behind some great party captain
and on the other hand, causing even res
pectable men, to their own dishonor and
that of human nature, to think of enticing
a political opponent from the path of recti
tude by preiCuding to anticipate his trea
chery if eVef he happens to separate from
his own party leaders upon any question
whatever. The dread of false clamors by
selfish men of one's own side, and the mor
tifving enticements of flattery from the
other, springing alike from this uncharita
ble source, constitute serious discourage
ments to a scrupulous and sensitive mind
against accepting a public office; whilst to
venal or to timid men in office they are pe
rilous temptations to swerve from the man
ly performance of their duty. It mut
needs be that parties will exist and per
haps it is right and proper that they should.
I am not to be understood as deprecating
party; but only the malignant ingenuity
With Which it strives to fasten itself upon
all and every question which can be pre
sented. This latter spirit is an undeniable
h"re to a party, contrary to the convictions
of one's understanding, for the sake of Op
position, as it would be dishonoiable upon
others of a different character to desert par
ty an I to falsify the professions by means
of which he had been elevared to office. -And
is it not a dictate of prudence1 in the
people to multiply rather ihan to diminish
the number of these questions? as it should
be a principle of honor among those who
aim to give a direction to the popular mind
to allow to their representative that there
are some points upon which, being left to
think for himself he will be expected to
act independently according to his own
judgment, without thereby exposing him
self to be claimed as an ally by his enemies,
or denounced as a traitor by his friends
Though a party man, therefore, upon mea
sures which legitimately connect them
selves with the acknowledged principles of
party, and by no means approving the hy
pocrisy of statesmen or politicians who
may feign to live altogether above its at
mosphere, I dare not surrender the Slate
to party, did fealty to the latter make it ne- .
cessary to do it; nor will I ever sacrifice 1
my patty to self, should it be in my pow
er to do that.
Relying upon the blessing of God on my
Sorts to serve North Carolina, and, as her
Senator, adhering to right for its own
sake, in public as in private lite, 1 shall
strive to deserve alike the confidence of the
State and of the party by whose favor this
high trust has been confided to me.
1 am your friend and counlrvman, :
