THE THREATS OF SECESSION.

To the Editor Of The N. y. Tribune,
SIR Prominence has lately been given to the matter
Of fugitive slaves and the pouS journal of this city has
urged the North and the Republican party to faith
ful performance" Of the supposed duty of returning
slaves to their masters.
At the present time, Republicans generally do not
desire to irTitate the vanqushed, and therefore
quiet minding their respective businesses and leaving
superhuous agitation to superfuous agtators but if
there is any danger of their position being misconsrued
they will have to speak out and speak plainly.
l am not an oftce-hOlder nor ofice-seekor, but
hold position in the party of sufficient influence to
warrant me in speaking for very large section of it,
even in this conservative region, and for immense
majority of it in the State of NewYork know, and
You know the sentiment of ninetenths of the party in
this State New England, and tho northern half Of the
Northwest to be one of UTTER inexpressble abhor
renee of tie Fugitive Slave Law of 1850. We hold it
to be unconstitutional despite all the uterances of
packed Supreme Court. We hold it to be anti-Chris
tian, despite thousand pupits ibid they exist to the
contrary. 1t may suit The " Wo,Sd," but it is too
mean for the flesh, {" and belongs - the devil.
That is our settled conviction. We would not change
it to please Daniel Webster, nor will we, though
(which Heaven forbidp desired by the new Admins
tratiOn.
will venture TO predict that no law now in force for
the protection Of personal liberty will be repealed in
1861 cannot feel as confden. in predicting that q
suitable law of that character will DO enacted in this
State but will guarantee that not less than two thirds
of the Republicans in the next Assembly viii heartily
sustain it.
| 20 further: President Lincoln must no doubt in
force all laws which enacted pursuant 10 the Con-
stisution. As he regards this law constitutional, he
will doubtless inforce il no does others But if be
can be coaxed driven into tho footsteps Of Willard
Fillmore and undertakes to infOrce it with the army
and navy while allowing Northern men to be driven
out Of or hung the South with mpuny ho will have
mistaken his party. We will not obey that law and
we will not he made to obey it. No doubt this city
will be Us seryile it has always been, and it can
take care of itself Republican administration need
not and ought not to degrade itself by superiuous
Interference.
The fanfaronade of the South at present. has plain
object They wish to brighten tho North into Con-
vention to amend the Constitution by new guarantees
for slavery Ii is an absurd scheme, but lot US DO
warned by the amazing trcachey of 1850 Then
men, who were chosen to Office upon az dlstinos
pledges to freedom any Republican now, were
bulhed or bribed into igDemnious compromise from
whose effects we are but beginning to recover. Let
radical Republicans take that a healthy public
orinion be maintained such shall render Ii impossible

LET THEM SECEDE.

To the Editor Of The N. r. Tribune
SIR: The position which you have taken on the
Secession question is destined to meet the approval Of
the deliberate Judgment of tho great mass Of
the people of all parties Whatever may be the legal
or constitutional merits Of the case, there is no doubt
that as question Of State policy it Ii best for the
General Government and the people OF the North to
abstain from all interference with the accession move
nents Of South Carolina If single citizen Of South
Carolina should be shot by the United States soldiers
il would do more to draw dividing line between the
North and the South than all tho talk Of the dena
poVues in hundred years. Our Confedoracy rests on
he voluntary assent of its several members, and we
