Cabin" We must distrust every appeal that calculated to array one portion of the Union agalnst the other. We must hold those as ene- mics who seek to create geographical distinc- tions for their can be no local interests para mount to the interests of all. It is common union of the States, each entitled to the same protection, and each guarantied in the same po- litical rights.
 am no apologist for slavery, nor does it mat ter what my peculiar opinions may be upon that question; am an American woman, and, as such, feelthe impulse of awoman proud of her country and her institutions; and hold the woman who would traduce or defame or seek to disgrace her country belongs to the same cate. gory and sinks to the same deep infamy as the man who should be guilty of like action That great author Vattell we'll says, Book l, chap. 11th, section 123: eff every man is oblg- ed to entertain sincere love for his country, and to promote its welfare as far as in his power, it is shameful and detestable crime to niure that very country. He who becomes:guilty of it violates his most sacred engagements, and sinks into base ingratitude; he dishonors himself by the blackest perfdy, since he abuses the con- fdence of his fellow citizens, and treats as ene- mics those who had a right to expect his assis- tance and services. We see traitors to their country only among those men who are solely sensible to base interest, who only seek their own immediate advantage, and whose hearts are incapable of every sentiment of affection for others. They are, therefore, justly detested by mankind in general as the most infamous of all villains"
 Having fully answered your charges upon the Init Tod shown them to be false and malicious, I charge back upon you that you have published an ad- dress, false in its statements, in which you have attempted to create local preudices, engender faction, and impiously invoked your Creator to
 l arraign you in the name of the women of our country, whosesex you have outraged in attempting to mislead and impose upon them theories repugnant to liberty and in violation of their dearest rights. l charge you with having written and published book full of "putrid and diseased thoughts with the express inten- tion of exciting factions, proselyting fanatics, arouslng opposition to the laws, and destroying the happiness and harmony of this Union.
 charge you of having uttered reasonable speeches to foreigners, ouravowed enemies; that you have defamed and sought to bring disgrace
 
 wrath of Heaven upon her institutions
 In all of which charge youha committed overt acts of treason, and deserve to be held up to the scorn and contempt of womankind.
 find in the same paper letter by the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, your brother, in which he is represented to have said, 70, that I could see slavery standing in her own soil, compelled to live upon 1t, to draw her life from it-that tha %l L., guage, and how different the spirit that dictated the Father of his Country'' in his Farwell Adress
 He says: "The North; in an unrestrained in- tercourse with the South, protected by the equal laws of a common government, finds in the productions of the latter great additional resources of maritime and commercial enter prise, and precious materials of manufacturing industry. The South, in the same intercourse, benetiting by the agency of the North, sees its agriculture grow, and its commerce expand * * 1 have already intimated to you the danger of parties in the State, with particular reference to the founding of them on geographi- cal discriminations. Let me now take a more comprehensive view, and warn you in the most solemn manner against the baneful effects of the spirit of party generally. It serves always to distract the public councils, and enfeeble the public administration. It agitates the community with ill-founded jealousies and false alarms, kindles the animosity of one part against another, foments, occasionally, riot and lnSuTectiOn.'
 Gen. Washington believed that the South was one of the spokes in this great government tai wheel; and that the North would be as much crippled in her resources without the South as the South would be without the North.
 MT. Beecher says: The North furnishes the South her agricultural implements, her shoes, furniture and cloths; they spin her cotton, weave it, make it into shirts, collars, etc., and send it down for them to wear; and the difference be- tween raw cotton bale and fine starched shirt is just the difference between the North and the South" This deny. The only difference that exists is in the diseased hallucination of Mir. Beecher's own mind; or, at most, the diff ference between northern fanatic, who would trample upon the constitution and laws of his country, and the man who adheres strictly to them.
 If the South should close her maritime and commercial intercourse against the North how would the North get the cotton to spin, weave, and make shirts of? And yet his fanatical zeal in behalf of what he terms humanity induces him to say. 70! that I could see slavery stand- ing on her own soil, compelled to live upon it, to draw her life from it." thinkthe reverend gentleman's remarks on the Nebraska bill were premature; and when he sees and examines the bill as it passed the Senate, he will have the manliness to do the supporters of the bill jus tice, by confessing publicly thathe had not seen it, and consequently he was mistaken in its me- rits. It is of quite as much importance to the public that he should retract his opinions and expressions of the Nebraska bill as he did upon Hot Corn," saying they were premature; that he had not read the book.
 The bill as it now stands is all that true patriot could desire or demand; and believe the reverend gentleman is disposed to be patri- otic for
 "There is Divinity that shapes our ends,
 Rough-hew them how we will'
 The reverend gentleman asks: '.Is that slave ry right which ignores marriage and every do- mestic tie, and strikes red hot and damnine blow into the family and into all its clustering ties and hopes?' In answer to this question, refer the reverend gentleman to book he has been garbling at least twenty years for the ad-
