r.. Letter of Judge Butler. Gentlemen : I find that private duties, growing out of domestic 'bereavements, will not allow mhe to attend and address so. - I public meetings and nshodtations to h I have been invited. Personal feeling, as well as high public coisiderationst, woud concur to induco Ie toaccept such invitntions at this time. The two first to which I have been invited, are those at Sumter and Alarion. They are inspiring namos-full of historical associ ations. The epitaphs of the heroes. whose names your districts bear, contain lessons of liherty and duty, showing whatt a brave and determined minority couh, ido in the darkest hours of our Revolutionory histo ry; atd will be burning and condetmned rebukes to the. truckling and conprotising 1i rd who are wjiling to take "what they can gat," and not demand what they are entitled to, under a Constitution sigtned by equals, and intendol to protect the privi leges of equals. The organiz:ttion of your societies presupposes a fearful trjti: that youtr rights, under the Federal Constiti tion have not been regarded, and are not t isa fe in the keeping of the Federal Govern. ment. My experience and solemn convic. tions conirm this assumption. Muy opinion i ,that the last struggle has been moado in Congress to arrest the ag grersions c ,,the non-slavehsolding t-ites, on'theo institution of slavery. The slave. holding States are in a minority, miti mray Tppeain i vain to atn invaded Coustitrut-un for pntection and defence. ily acts of the last Congress, a breach has lren titaile ilieotnetittttion of the United State., throaghihich assauits will he in :ited on vouir institutions. Your rights are new held at the twill of an unrestrained majority; nt infatumted majority, that is carrying out its nrrmi'ant, but. blind and wicked polier, by a insane coinbination of unscrupulous, ue iutl'gogntes. uid reckless tanirties. Anl assailed and distracted minority have crum bl(d under excuses and influencc, which it Is deplorable to think of. The reduce i tnotwrity, iwho stood out to the list, 11:11 to encoituter ovcrwhmehrning numbers, new combinations of parties, and the betravitt influences of prostittted presses. 'here are statesmen at the North who would wil lingly avert the dangers that are certaitly cotning tnt thei. section; they will eith r he prostrated by the storms, or survive it only to behold the wreck that his been o; cnsioned by its violence. 'I'hev lep! are t he divisions at the South, and justly look n(p1n them as so many sources of bet r:, al fI tih .interests of the Cunstitutntion and o'ertion of themselves, and as an iigrbns ur render to wickeid agitators of a mice sii. nificent, but now crumdbling, (n-stitutam No Sotithi'ern mian caun htonest y in.t h. hand to his heart and say, that the atr.rs live agitations of the slave (jine: t ion w;; terminate with the ieisures of the |a-i session--purporting. in the cant and dt gusting language of the d it. to mo:ake a satisfactory comiprois;e.
