EuzABErETowE, March 16, 1861
GExrLEMES: I received your letter last
night, too late, o. course, y comply with the
request Of your citizens 70 attend the roBtsm-
plated meeting. Ny health is Of a peculiar
character, and admonishss ne not to too often
engage in exciting scenes, OF 20 subject myself
60 sudden transitions from neat 70 cold. /
have fell deep solicitude for the welfare Of
Louisville, and that selictuds has induced
feelings Of deep regret az the tone and temper
Of a part Of your public journals toward the
South and its principal men. have feared,
and now apprehend, your enterprising citizens
are suffering and viii continue TO suffer from
loss of their valuable trade. l may be igno-
rant Of he course Of the trade Of Louisville,
but I reason from known facts. I cannot
bring myself 70 the conclusion tia. Louisville
can successfully compete with Cincinnati
Chicago and 81. Louis, for the trade ot the
Northwest Il seems 10 me that naturally
and Geographically, the South and Southwest
are The countries TO which Louisville must
look for Der most profitable trade. ] an aware
that interest is one Of the governing laws Of
her neighborB2 70 she cannot, the advanta-
r-es being equal. Is Il likely, when we co5sider
the high character Of The southern people, that
their favor will be propitiated 5y public oecia-
rstions that they are TRAITORS" and "ro5berss2
and that their most trusted men are "-hleFes,"
and deserve the traitors doom? We know Il

- biftsr toward those from whom We have
: ;rst right 10 expect friendship when they
,.rovs false to that friendship, than TO those
from whom we expected nething-
