the posse comitatus, he should immediately order out the company
of Marines under his command to assist him, cautioning the of-ficer
to do nothing except in strict obedience to the Marshal's
requirements.
From George C. Mendenhall. U.
Raleigh, N. C,
January 11th, 1851.
It is not asking for any appointment that I write a line—for
nothing but as a Quaker to soothe some savage tribe of Indians
would suit me—with fair pay. I am here, not in, but under, and
about this red-armed assembly of fiery Resolutions, attending the
Supreme Court. In former times I was accustomed often from a
Democratic Affair here, to address you in the Senate of the United
States, and those days have been recalled to my recollection. The
speeches now are filled with fury, and squeezed up to be colored
with blood, but all is smoke. North Carolina is the safest, surest,
most Steadfast State this day, to the Union of all the Calandar,
notwithstanding the high sounding tones of a few would-be-great-men.
We are as safe to support and uphold the Federal Constitution
as England is true and safe and unshaken for 1000 years to her
adopted Government. Fire-balls are endeavored to be rolled in
both Houses, but this great State is as quiet as a Calm Sea; dangers
may be otherwhere, but not by the hearths & dulce, dulce,
domumum of North Carolina. We are trying Causes in the
Supreme Court and I will not trouble you with much to read—
& this merely in the line of duty, as I have not paid you my
respects since you were in the Cabinet—which appointment
pleased me much.
From Kenneth Rayner. U.
Raleigh,
North Carolina,
January 13 th., 1851.
Enclosed you will find a recommendation, addressed to Mr.
Webster, in favor of our friend Waddell, whom I am most anxious
