WASHINGTON ciTr, Dec II, 1850
MY DEAR SIR We feel that There Is danger
Of separation on the part Of some Of the
States, but We arc in hopes that something
may interfere to continue our Union. Our
friends in Congress arc desirous to concilintc.
but can never surrender u solitary principle ny
laid down in our platform Mt Chicago. feel
that VIC shonld act in moderation, but firm aud
unyieldiug in our principles. The Com1nlttc
of thirty-thrcc arc In session daily, but so far
Us we can learn, cannot satisfy the extreme
Southern men. They are bent on dissolu-
ton, seemingly so, and NC must await their
States action.
Mr.: Buchanan's position is direct encourage
men to the SecesEionlsts, and sets the Consti-
tuition and the laws, and our rights under
them, at perfect defiance. I feel m abiding
faith in tue strong arm Of the people of the
mighty West, and Of all true patriots all over
the country.
lam cndeayoring to press forward the rcgu~
lar business Of appropriations, but this
monster, Secession, yields to nothing but its
own advancement, aud little will be done until
after the first Of Jauary.
remain truly your friend,
JonS SHERMAN.

possession of a reliable gentleman of fhis city, well

genuineuess of the letter.
Let the people Of Tennessee ponder over this let
