GEN. DUFF GREEN TO THE PEOPLE OF PENNSYLVANIA
AND NEW JERSEY.
Gending the Presidential election | yentured in
several letters addressed to you through the Epen
1ng J0"rndt to convince you what the effect of the
election of Mr.. Lincoln would be to dissolve the
Union Events since occurring must have convinc-
ed the most incredulOus that my worst fears will be
realized. The Union will be dissolved. The ques-
tlon Is no longer how to prevent disunion. 1t is
what States are to constitute "The United States"
under the reorganization? Permit me to suggest
that "more perfect Union" can be- and probablv
VIII be organized folows:-The slaveholdipr
states are content with the Constitution as it now
Is, construed as they understand it. They will re.
qure guarantees, that such shall be its construc-
ton. Say that each of the seeding States adopts
the existing Constitution of the United States as
Tue constitution OF Union to be formed by the
slaveholding States, uniting with them; that a
Convention otthese States organize a Government
adopting the existing laws and Constitution and
that the States thus united, admit other States,
which give them satisfactory guarantees for the
protection of their rights of persons and property;
such is the issue which | believe will be presented
to you with in the next sixty days. The question
Tor you to decide is: Will you form part of such
Union, or will you make war on the South to en-
force the dOgmas of Seward and Sumner?
THE RICHMOND ''wHrG" ON THE CRISIS.
The Richmond Wing, of yesterday, says:
1t isnot our purpose at present to enter into any
elaboration OF views in reference to the pendinp
crisis, but only to hint at them in a very brief
manner. In the first place. then, we are for ex.
hausting all rational and honorable expedients for
obtaining redress of Southern grievances in the
UniOn before taking up our hat and walking out
OF the Union. To this end we are for State
COnvention-for a Convention of the South
ern States-and for general Convention of all the
States. And if through the instrumentality of
these various Conventions, we cannot effect an
adjustment OF the differences and difficulties exist
ing between the North and the South, than we are
In favor, not OF secession but of separation upon fair
and just terms to be arranged by the aforesaid
Convention OF all the States. In the terms of sepa-
ration, il no adjustment can be had and separation
must come, we shall demand n fair and equitable
division of all the property of the United States,
including of course, the SOuths Just proportion of
the army and navy. If such division of the army
and navy, and of all the public property of the
United States including likewise the public do
main, should be refused US by the Northern States
then we shall be in favor neither of 1eaceable
secession nor of pcoceobc separation but of imme-
date war, and war to the knife and war to the
''bitter end.'
