I'VE insert the following at the request OF
the writer, who must be madmanl:
HARTFORD, COM, April 3, 1860
Mr. MONITOR Your folks are beaten We
do not fear .'disunion" or ''loss of the South
ern trade" L is too late aow to talk aLont
secession. You are weak and HASD-ouFFED.
There was time-but that is past-when, if
Calhoun had been braveiy seconded by the
Southern people, the South would have car
ried the day; but now there is nothing left
but submission, for the North must rule. Call
houn, gray haired and broken hearted, van
ished like an imprecating shadow into the
eternal grave. The South was divided, dis
tracted, ungrateful. Your Wise is a great
man-as great as Calhoun, or as any other
man born on this continent-bm ecea tie Har-
pe,'s Ferry district is agqinst him What
can he do for the South with the South against
him He can go down to the grave-vanish
like Colhoun-and after death be held in hon.
or as great and shining light, upon which,
while living, the Southern people capriciously
closed their eyes.
We have the majority, and we have right
to rule, but we shall use you kindly, and ad-
vantageously for yourselves. In ten years,
slavery will vanish from Missouri. Kentucky,
tennessee, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia and
North Carolina. 1t will be permitted in the
other Southern States, because it is erpedient
for it is purely matter of policy. The
owners in the above States will realize high
price for their personal property and when
we Tayerize three or four million Yankees
among them, lands now selling at ten to thr-
ty dollars per acre, will bring from fifty to one
hundred and fifty dollars per acre Thus our
policy, which is to govern, will be most adj
vantageous for Northern slave States. Will
you not take our prescription, which will
do you so much good Must we force
you to take it {? rather think not. You
are not able to resist We can at any time
set the Southern people against each otler by
little Presidential combination at Washing
ton, so as to make them neglect or discard
their best men !; and we can buy up or negative
any of their ordinary aspirants, by holding out
the Presidency to them, as we hold an ear of
corn before the nose of an OK, to make him
pull up hill. Any of them will abandon
platform for a auJbin.
We will elect Seward, who is really mild,
benifcent and comprehensive statesman. He
will do more for the South, than any of your
nubbin men, and we shall not permit you to
put forward any other. You will not resist
eighteen millions with stand you cannot
do without our goods any more than we can
do without your money. Be quiet, and you
aciH put up the price Of your land. 1t is nom
sense to talk about horror, equality and South
ern rights. Talk only about the MAJORITY,
and things practical, advantageous and neces-
sdry 1t would be bad policy for us to abolish
slavery in cotton States. Let that be a sufii-
Gent guarantee. As fer the Constitution-we
shall soon have votes enough to re model it to
suit the times and the predominant sentiment
Of the UNION, which must be perpetual.
