How Union Men are trapped.

1
The following letter received by broth
er Of Judge McGonigaI, is handed to ui
with the instruction that we may do what
we ike with it, SO we give it toorr readers
The letter shows the gradual slide toward
secession of all such men as put in but
an II, or any such word implying condition
al loyalty when they write or talk upon the
subject Of their country's perils. 1t shows
that we have but little to hope for from q
large portion Of those in the South, calling
| themselves Union men-the matter of sub
hitting TO the majority just as minorities
have always heretofore done-even though
such minorities solemnly believed the ma
jority was wrong and must ultimately
prove destructive to the government, moi
seeming to be thoughts entertained at pres
ent by the bit and If Union men Of the
South. The idea that Northern abolition
lists are to be classed as the equals in fanat-
icisln with the Southern fire-eaters shows
total want Of knowledge in the writer.
The former, if republicans are meant by
the writer, are all Union men and always
have been, while the latter have been de-
signing to dissolve or revolutionize the
government ever since the year '32, as wri-
ter must well know-the fact being mat
ter of history. Here is the letter:
CLEVELAND, Tenn, May IA, 81.
r. 4. MoGoNIGAL-Dear SRI re-
ceiyei your letter a few days age, and |
may say that | read It's contents with some
degree of regret. Situated as we may be,
viz: in hostile array against each other, |
have been, and am YET, for the Union, and
whilst | condemn the South, for the pre-
cipitate action which they have taken, no
less condemn the North for their mad
course-both sections have &C, ed wrong
may | not say, wickedly as mi ch so as the
devH would have them do. repeat that
| have the most supreme disgust, and con-
tempt for the republican party North. and
the tire-caters South; but this thing is
forced upon Tennessee by the two sections,
and we for our own safety must fight.
Whether we go off after secession or not, |
have no doubt that the State will give now
large majority for secession. afne osdi-
nance is passed by the Legislature, and the
people vote upon it the sth Of June, but
ws are all ready in arms; whilst we do moi
synpathize with South Carolina we dc
with Virginia; the cause of Virginia Is thu
cause OF Tennessee. | am sui for the
Union, but have no doubt that the State
will 90 out. If she does | am bound by
her action and may have TO fight in hei
defense; | should hate very much to meet
you on some battle field as deadly foe
IF / had my way | should have larg,
platform built and the leaders OF the black
rep..Slicans and abolItionists ofthe North
and all the fire-eaters and 1isuniolists Of
the South, Headers nean,) placed togeth-
er and powde. enough under them to blow
them to hell. | would then volunteer tc
put fire to the powder and let them off. i
that was done there would be JOY in heay.
