Unquestionably, the latter is the policy.—

I had obtained however in the National Coun-

considered. Availing myself of all the time
afforded mo to collect information, before lho
balloting began I submitted to my friends
the opinion that it was not, under the cir-cumstances,
advisable to make a stand. They
however, with my requiescence, decided on
a different course. After the first vote oc-curred,
I again desired such of them as I
met to vote tor one of the- other gentlemen
then in nomination. (Messrs. Badger and
Swain;) but they preferred a different course.
After the third ballot had occurred, but bo--
fore the result was announced, Mr. Farmer,
in accordance with the opinion then express-ed
bv me, changed his voto so as to elect
Mr. Badger. This he could not even then
have accomplished but for the fact that the
Democratic Senator from Stokes withheld
his vote on some understanding with Mr.
Badger's friends, while another member of
the sumo party wus absent from sickness.
Before, however, stating tho reasons for this
change, 1 mnst advert to one other matter.

painfully realized and a substantial lesson

that, in addition to the opposition to Mr.

members, before I saw or had any communi-cation
with him either direct or indirect,
had expressed a determination, in the strong-est
language, not ,o vote for the incumbent

Being in Raleigh, on my way to this place,
when the legislature assembled, ami under-standing
fully thojeondition of things, I ad-vised
my personal; friends to make no oppo-sition
to Mr. Badiars election. In fact, 1

impression, at first, that tho situation in j my opinions less full than you might de- r,
which 1 found myself placed was such as to
excuse mo from answering their inquiries;
but a moment's reflection satisfied me that I
was in error in taking this view. The mem-bers
trf the legislature aro made by the con-stitution
the electors of the Senator. As the
Senator, when chosen, is under our system
supposed to represent the views and feelings
of the State, and as the members of the leg-islature,
in making the selection, act for ami
aro responsible to their constituents, they
have a right to know tho opinions of the
person for whom they may reasonably ex-pect
to vote; and no gentleman, either a
candidate or willing to accept, the station,
has, in my judgment, a right to withhold an
expression of his opinions on important sub-jects.
With these views my reply was dictated.
It was written immediately after tho receipt
of their letter, without consultation with
anv one. It was written to those whose
views were, in many respects, different from
my own, but who were gentlemen of high
character and standing, actuated, as I well
knew, only by elevated, honorable, ami pa-triotic
motives; and therefore my statement
to them was couched in language the most
respectful and courteous, and yet sufficiently
intelligible that there might be DO misunder-standing
between us. I now give the letter
and my reply thereto.
RALEIGH, N. C\, Dec. the 18th, 1848.
Hon. Titos. L. Ci.ixu.MAN :
the State, the West, by its heavy
majorities, neutralizes and overcomes the
partial success of our opponents, and gives
us the control of the State. This is imme-diately
followed by lilling the stations of
senators and the other lucrative offices by
persons living in the central part of the
State, where we have been overthrown. If
we look abroad through the Union we shall
find nothing like this system any where. J ,
might, by reference to particular States.!
show, that in some by positive laws, and in ;
others by customs as strong and as'unyield- j
ing as positive law, these stations
be filled by persons residing

BAD STATE OF THINGS.

been produced, 1 shall have occasion to state
in the course of this address.
Injustice has been done, too, to the wes-tern
part of the qtate in other respects. In
18*jJ) the amended constitution went into op-eration,
and the change then made was ex-!
pressly onderstoc '. to have been effected to
put tlie West on an equal footing with the
Fast as respects legislation, because its rights
and interests had been disregarded. What
has been the result, even under this amelior-ated
condition, after we have been advanced
to a position of comparative equality, and j

(iEXTr.EMEX: 1 have before me your letter

Having adopted no sentiments but those
which 1 am willing that all the world should
