Ny DEAR SIR:-Being deprived Of the use oil
my arms Tor the present by q severe attack OF
rheumatism, / am compelled to avail myself oil
the services Of an amanuenss in reply to your
two letters.
to comprehend the difference between arguments
used IN favor Of an equitable compromise with
the hope of averting the horrors of war, and
thoSe urged in the support of the government
and the flag Of our country, when the war is be-
Ing waged against the United States with the
avowed purpose of producing permanent dis
ruption Of the Union and total destruction of its
gov rpment.
All hope Of Gampromise with the cotton States
was abandoned when they assumed the position
that the separation OF the Un.on was conplete
aud 6nal, aud they won never consent to re.
construction in any contingency even If We
would furnish them with q blank sheet Of paper
and permit them to inscribe their own terms,
Still the hope was cherished that reasonable
and satisfactory terms Of adjustment could be
sgresd UPON with Tsnnessse, North Carolina and
the Border States. and thar whatever terms would
prove satisfactory to thsss loyal States would
create = tniop party in the cotton States, which
veSld oe powerful enough st the ballot box 70
aestroy the Revolutionary Government, and
tring those States back into the Union by The
voice Of her own people. This hope wac cher.
'shed BY ULion men North and South and was
never abandoned until sctusl war WA levied At
Chssleaton and tho authoritative annouuosmeus
made BY the Revolutionary Government at Noas. |
