To ns Editor If The ~ T. Tribune.
SIR: The following extract from letter received by

the feeling in favor Of secession ie by % uni
yer.a at the South AZ is represented in the papers:

Iii. well known that The Faihers of the Republic
thought that Slavery temporary evil hai rn', y
Necessity die Of country which proclaimed to the
world in such glowing language that All niehare fn
lowed by their creator with certain nalenablc rghts
among which airs life liberty, and the pursuit OF hap
pinese." "
The great mistake 10 call Il by no hsber nsme tbst
they made, was IN allowing Slavery at all under the
Constitution No eonpromise, in violation Of rrnci-
pie can, In the Latre of things, resu m COED be-
ievng this firmly I cannot look with any deglee Of
favor OF patience upon the various pInns proroted by
mid minimizing or unprinciped perens, 70 paef the
sonth and induce them 70 return 10 the UDimi d.
II we can see that fathers did wrongly in giving
Slavery ioo,hold in ibis country, why do we no. also
perceive hat It would be quite as wrong for 10 do
any thing u extend III
While there may be some excuse kr ms 70 permit
Slavery exist in the States under all the pe.ent tr
cumstancAs Garnet but tink that God viii visit VA
with dcetrycd punishment it, from any fdRted adyhb-
,see 10 he white race, we allow Slavery 10 I've the
poltion Of untold millions who luc 10 inhabn territory
now free. -.r .
Firmly believing that Slavery Is ippcbtc, as well "a
sinful, that it, Influence upon the white race is very
injurious aud that it far from being profitable 10 the
Shareholders az the same amount OF capulwould be
employed in free labor, cannot, well wisbef TO
the whites and the blacks, bat view il with abRor.

Now, Sir, win any Of your correspondents II res
oice that you view this question in its true light
inform me why il ia desirable to continue tie Ulor
Of all tie States As a business man, am in the
habit Of counting the cost If hiHgs, and deciding
~ the Union " the Free and Slave States, hnd tho
| cost 10 be in part as follows, viz: O.
!. large propori, Of the expense Of standing
Army and Navy, for the protection and extension Of
| Slavery conquerng new territory &c. NJ e.
| H. Deficiency in The postal and eveine services.
III. Reign Of terror at the South, 80 thai no ipde-
pendent Northern person. white or black eap reside OF
even travel there in safety. ga. BOD.

and if unable prove their freedom 70 pay their jul

Bible. .. .....,...,.,,,.,p,t,.
vi. The contempt of all enlightened nations jof ouI

growing out of the irrepresGble conflict" between
Freedom and Slavery. ..s..' I'd

TIE value of the Union 10 the Slave States If they
wish to continue Slavery cannot be estimated II the
Union is dissolved, every uhpreudced person may zee
that Slavery cannot exist against the condemnation
every enlightened nation the globe, and the grow
| ing numbers and power Of the ensAycd Il
am unable to think OF any advantage TO the Free
States from the Union that they would have In
much greater degree us united and really free peopl,
without the Slave States They would then have thu
respect Of all nations whose good opinion is worth hsy
ing, they would be relieved from thousand expenses
that now grow out of the present Union, they woult
be honored by the Slave States As foreign nator
more than they can he as nomina brethren, the
rights of 40 powerful people as we should be woul'
then DO viewed in tic same light those Of Engant
or any other great nation.
