The Democrats and MIR. soule.

The Courier of last evening states that letter,
signed by about Sc venty or eighty OF the principal
democrats of the city, has been addressed TO TINS
gentleman. The substance is:
Won in favor of dissolution of the Unions OF the
stabIsbmsnt Of Southern COniederaCy OF the
son of Louisiana from the UnonnOw herea er-because
OF he legislation the late session Of Congress? :"
The Courier denies the right of these gentlemen
TO inenogate the Senator, and takes ground against
his answering. OF course there is no legal COM
pulsion, but the public man, who, in this country,
refuses express his opinions on the great ques-
tons of the day, seals his own doom. The people
respect the candor of man, though they may
think his opinions erroneous. They despise the
Jesuit " who palters with them in double sense"
and when cornered maintains a studied silence.
If he does not answer we shall do it for him from
his own speeches. The Courier has undertaken
the task and avows that Mr.. Soule is for the Union
in spite of the Preparation of the snormity,' and
the consequent ensaved and degraded condition OF
the South.

Mr.. We5Ster's Reply to Mr.. HILL.

, WAsHNGToN, April 20, 1850.
Dear Sir-I regard such letter from Won as that
of the 18th of this month, an extraordinary and
gratifying incident in my life For long course of
years we have belonged to opposing parties,
espOused opposite measures, and supported, for high
office, men of very different political opinions
We have not however, taken different views of
duty, in respect to the maintenance of the Consti-
tuition of the United States From your voice, or
your pen, any more than from mine, there never
has proceeded a sentiment hostile to " that UNITY
of government which constitutes us one people,"
And now, when we are no longer young, a state
of things has arisen seriously nterruptng the har-
mOny and mutual good will which have hitherto
existed between different parts of the country, ex
citing violent local animOsities, impeding the regu-
lar and ordinary progress of the government, and
fraught with misChef5 of every description. And
all this has its origin in certain branches of the
Slavery question, which, as il appears to to me, are
either quite unmpOrtant in themselves, or clearly
settled and determined by the Constitution.
All this have seen with that keen regret which
you have experienced yourself, and which cannot
but be comHOn feeling with all rejecting men,
who are lovers of their country
To this unhappy state of the public mind, have
felt it my duty TO address myself, not in language of
irritation, elimination Or menace, but in words of
peace, patriotic sympathy, and fraternal regard
My effort has been, and will be, TO the full extent of
my power, to cause the pillows of useless and dam
ger0us domestic controversy to sleep, and be still
am as fully aware as other men of what is to
be expected from such attempts In highly excited
times it is far easier to fan and fee the flames of
passion and discOrd, than to suhdue them: and in
such times, he who cOunsels moderation IS in dan.

you displayed in your great speech afterwards.
On reading the first imperfect report of it, saw,
at once, how much better to the nervous dying man
was your kindly answer than might have been my
own. During the four weeks which passed al
Washington last winter, will confess to you that
at first, nv concern on account of an anticipated
alienation and disruption Of our glorious Union
threw all party differences into the back ground ii

seemed to be no chance of escaping conflict OF
blood between one of the noble old Thirteen, and
the Confederation, of which she was a part, some
seventeen years previous. In the progress of these
four weeks, was pleasedto perceive new evidences
ofattachment TO the Union no less on the part o.
nearly every man coming from a slaveholding
state than on the part of those coming from states
claiming to be free. | came to the conclusion thai
! not a man in thousand wished disruption, and
| lost no opportunity in thus assuring my mos
| alarmed friends.
But my only purpose in writing you this letter
is to say, that in defiance of what the press 0
either party may bear upon the surface, all that is
value in the sound discrimination and good sens,
of the people will declare in favor of the great prn
| cples of your late Union Speech in the Senate.

best stand by dsregarding any and every imputa

opinion or practice, in a public career of nearl,
