It is right ard proper that you should know the
views Of men who aspire to represent you in these
times Of trouble and alarm. Judge GREEN, in 1858
in letter to tract society of the North used the
following language. 4 have not intended to defend
the institution Of slavery. l have long considered
it an evil-aa evil las Hr RrvEs once admitted in
TIE Senate) morally, socially and politically. Until
within the last twenty fVe years never heard any
well informed Southern gentleman give expression
to any contrary sentiment About that time Mr.
CALHOUN first announced the opinion that the institu-
folio wing Mr.. CALHCUN-and pressed by aggressive
ton was 2 desirable one. Now many Southern men,
attacks from the North-hold the SANE opinion. But
Inever have sympathized with this sentiment The
above extract was taken from tue Banner Of
Peace the organ of his church, and it will
avail him but little to say that his letter
has been g4F5led, for | defy him to publish
the whole letter or show one line or sentence
in the letter which will relieve him from the obi
Gus and sntiSouthsrn sentiments, which are avOw-
ed in the paragraph quoted. His bare assertion
will not answer for proof, for he should remember
that the laws and customs Ct sha country will not
perIit the feaa to Re acquitted by his own decIar
atioas after he has committed the deed, when the
facts are against him. He says that Mr.. YAECEY

Black Republican because they wished to breax up

published his letter and headed it in large flaming
letters, The Chief Justice of Tennessee on the Side
of Freedom" and it Is hardly to be supposed that
GRUEL4g wished to interfere with his law school
have no quarrel to make with the old man {; it
vas my duty to state to you the facts aud have

1t occurs 30 me that If you vote for him with
this record whichrepudiates the fundamental pr1n-
cipIss, upon which your new Government is based,
that with the same propriety you could vote for
SEWARD or LINCOLN, for they have never said more.
As to myself am a Southern man ell oyer. Ihsve

Fellow CITIZENS am = candidate to represent
you in the Confederate Congress. have lived
among you more than forty years, twenty five Of
which occupied a seat on the Chancsry Court and
Supreme Court benches. Ny enemies admit that
my life. as an honest man and gentleman, is irre~
proaehable. But Mr.. THOMPSON, one Of my compel
itOrs addresses to you card in which he extracts
paragraph Of ttosIve lines from letter written
some three or four years ago by me- and which let
ter was long and triumphant vindieation of the
South from the hbelous statements of an abolition
tract, written by CHARLES K. WHlPPLE, of Msssa-
chusetts in which he made the most false ana gross
statements to the social relations of the masters
and slaves of the South. From this short extract
alone, Mr. THOMPSON seeks to induce you to make
inferences favorable to my fidelity to the inslitu
tons of the South.
If you had the entire letter before you, it would
be wholly unnecessary for me to address to you
lire of explanation. The sense and meaning of the
language he quotes, would be perfectly satlsfac-
tory to you, if taken in connection with the whole
Mr.. THOMPSON says it is my business to publish
the entire letter in my defense. BE knows that the
plainest principle of law, and of common sense,
and Of justice, requires witness called to testify
against another If he states the admissions of that
other against im-he must tell al that was said at
the same time on the same subject. Any other rule
would enable you to convict the most limo ent
man.
The charge Of Mr.. WHITE was, that there vas

whiCe men with slave women. denied the charge.
as broadly made, and pronounced it libel on the
South but l admitted that it existed to some ex
teut, and that il an evil It was in this sense
and in his connection, the paragraph he quotes was
written. And is it not true? Every Southern gen.
ts man knows it is.
Ny opinions on this subject have been much more
strongly expressed by WASHINGTON, by JEFFERSON
by MADISON, and by HEN,Y CLAY. We're they not
true Southern men? And why then am not equal
y true? Mr. RIVEs employed the very words used
aud yet be is no1 one of Virginias most trusted
counselIors IN the Confederate Congress. If he is
Southern enough for Virginia whyj am 1 not
Southern enough for Tennessee, when the only
charge against me, is that quote his very cords
in my letter?
Fellow cihzsns, submit my claims to your calm
judgment. If you elect me, shall feel honored
and will do the best can to promote your interest
