Guitzitztt : Upon my return last evening,
after a short absence from ' the city I' found
your letter of the d3tia inviting:me Ao
take part in the ptoceedingi of the Whigs of

I 'kPPreciate most highly, the honor and
kindness of thiS invitation, and A16t.4 have
hat true -pleasure in accepting The
Whigs of Maine composed at all 'times so im
.pottant a division of the tre!it - national par

ily or exletliency of abstaining from all
P. • .11._ requiring; mach effort, will prevent
'thy being with you. And yet inyitcd to
share in yOur COUUSOS and grateful for'such
distinction,. I cannot wholly decline my own
. ,
opinion up one of the dutiesiof the Wilts in
what you Well describe as " the phlsent cri
sis, in the political affairs of the country,"
Cannot now, and „need not 'pause to elaborate
or defend them. , What I think, and what I
hare decided to do, 'permit sue in the,briefeqt
and plainest expression to tell you. •
The first duty, the'n, of Whigs, not merely
as patriot* and Citizens,—loving, with a large
and equal tore, our whole native land s —but
as Whi,gsand because we are Whigs, is to
unite with, some organization of Mar count ry
menoo defeat . and dissotre the new ;ice
graphical Party — calling - itse' I( Republican.—
This is our first duty. It iroitld
... more exact
ly express - My opinion to say; that at this Mo
ment, it ia our only ditty. tertitinly, at
least, it coinprehends or supercedes all others;
and in my* judgment, the question, for each
and - every ;one of us is, not whether this Can
didateor -that dandidate would be our first
choice; net whether thyre IS some good talk
in the worst.platform, or some bad talk in
the best platform ; - not whether this man's
ambitioa s hr that, man's Servility, or bold:
; ness, or fanaticism, or violence, is 'responsible
for putting the will. waters in this uproar ;
but just this,—by what rote can Ido most
to prevent the madness of the tit 'es from
working its maddest net,--the very ecstasy
' of its madness, : the pretuature formation and
the actual present triumph of a party which
Knows one lair of America only to hate and
i
dread it; from whose nneenseciated and rev
olutionary banner fifteen stars are erased or
have fallen ;--in_ whose national atithern the
old and endeared airy of the Eutaw Springs,
and the King's Mountain, and 'Yorktown,and
tliose;'later, cf New Orleans, and Buena-Vista
and,Chapultepee, lireathe no more. 'To this
duty, tothis question, all other sett to Ale
to stand postponed and - secondary. '
And why I' Because, according to Mir
- weed it is only
.the rnited America, which .
can peacefully, gradually, • safety, improve,
lift up avid bleSs with all social and personal
and civil blessings., Ali the races
,alid'all the
conditiOns which compose our vast and vari
ous family—it is such an America s , only,
Whose arm cart guard our flag, develop our
resources, extend our trade ;, and fill the
measure of our glory ; and because, accord
ing to our,Convictiona s the triumph of such a
party puts that Union in clidger. That is .
my reason. And for you, and fdr' me, and
for: all of us, in whose regards the Union
passers such a value, and to whose fears it
seems menaced by such a danger ; it is reas-.
on enough. ' Believing the tittle shipofstate
to be_within hills cable's length of the lee
shore . of rock, in'a gale . 'of wind, our first bus
iness is to put her about, and crowd her off, -
into-the deep, open sea. That dotie, - we can
regulate the 'stowage of her lower tier of-pow
der., and select her cruising ground, and
bring low officers to - courVmartial , a,t our
leisttrt. .'
If there are any in Maine—anti among the
Whigs of Maine I hope there ia not, one—
but if there ate arty, id whose hearts strong

spirit and tendency of itt electioneering ap
