LESTER To REV. HENRY w. BEECHER
We have received from q friend in st
Louis a letter, written by Prof. J. n.
Mcdowell, to Rev. Henry Ward Beech
or. We cannot find room for the whole
letter but as the style is pretty intense we
give specimen. Speaking to Mr.. Beech
er he says
| therefore cannot address you rs 2
minister OF the Christian religion, or a
follower Of Jesus; but as a heartess, I'M
feeling, uneompromising knavo, too wise
to act without q deadly purpose, too lit
tie religion 10 be bigot or fanatic; but
possessing the power to make fools and
fanatics of others.
Speaking of Northern fanatics, he
says;-
the course that has been so wickedy
and wil'ully pursued by the fauatics of the
North is continued, tie result will be as
have portrayed it, and your waiIing for
your fallen country will come too late
Pale-faced poverty and dismay will stare
you in the face at every corner Your
manufactures will cease and YOUR starry
inc thousands will tiv to more produc-
tive and less faaotical land for bread
But should the South he unable 10 make
an alliance with either England or France,
think you she will tameIy submit to
Northern insult and domination No,
never. She will command the commerce
Of the Mis- .ssppi river and It's tributaries,
and $ ou.I tho North, after Yeas OF
bloodshe,l, be successful in the contest, it
will cost the North moro than the price
of all the negroes twice told to possess
Tie land and the lie of every white man
that has a soul. The South for thou
sand miles holds the outlets the Father
Of Waters, end will dye them and its
swamps with tho blood Of thousands, both
| sons Of tie soil and liz enemies. While
there IS luc,fer match to burn your
hii!ges, or a stone or log to obstruct your
commerce, the vengeance of the foe at
midnight Will he upon you. In turn you
eau 10 much to dcao!atc and destroy but
you cannot dam up the Mississippi nor
lip t dry. Swamp foxes viii be upon
| YOU at every bayou, and even the ALI
eators viii be your enemies.
Pause, then, sir, and lift the veil of the
future, which is Just before you, and stay
thcfauaticai hand now lifted to strike. II
you do not, ike Macbeth, your own sleep
will be murdered and the sleep Of thou
sands. You shall never wash the stain
of the blood of your relatives from your
own hands, the hands OF your wife or the
hands of your sister, Harriet Beecher
Stowe. Call around you Senator
Seward, Wendell Phillips, Joshua Gid
dngs and Fred. D ugIas, and visit your
first victim in a lunatic asylum, Gorri'
Smith, of \. Y. Call a prayer mecting
and pray Old Brown and his confedcr
ates out Of purgatory, perhaps from h:iI,
where all of You should have gone before
Ask God to forgive YOU for your wicked
ness, wash your filthy garments, go thy
way and sin no NOR, sin no longer
against yonr conscience and your coun-
try's constitution. No longer lie against
nature and common sense, and make
negroes you equals, while YOU will not
give your sons in marriage and ncgro
husbands for your daughters.

HE,- President Buchanan, IN his Mes

sage, draws faithful and striking pic
turo Of the social insecurity prevailing in
the Slave States. If" ne SAYS, 'the
mothers of families within this extensive
region should not be able to retire to rest
at night, without suffering dreadful ap-
prchonsions of what may be their own
fate and that Of their children before
morning, it would be vain to recount to
such apooplo the political benefits which
result to them from the Union. sell
preservation is The first instinct Of nature !;
aud therefore any state O. society in which
the sword is Ill the time suspended over
the heads Of the people, must at last be-
come into,erabIe."
This is all trne; and, though Mr.. Buch-
anan applies ii only to the temporary
ta,o ofthings caused by John Browns
invasion, every candid person in the South
vii. Admit that, in tho lines &c have quo
toI, the President merely Describes in
vivid colors the habitual condition Of So
Getty IN that region. Ten years ago an
eminent southern statesman .oll US that
he never retired to rest at night on his
plantation without carefully examining
bis pistols and rifle, which hung nj his
bedside, to make sure that they were
ready for instant use; and q mother Of
Virginia told us, years ago, that if acct
dentally Weakened at night by any noise
in the neighborhood, her first impul c
was one of terror, lest it should proceed
from revolt of the negroes. If this is
the case where the slaves form only mi
nority Of the inhabitants, how will it be
when they come to form n great MAORI
IL? Will not that state of things be SO
intolerabIc that the whites will finally flee
from it in obedience to the instinct Of self
preservation which Mr. Buchanan speaks
Of? And what utter folly and wicked
ness to endeavor to pant such u social
condition in countries now free from its
blightiug curse .-New York TriJuae.
