To JUDaE CLAGErT:
Sir-permi. me to say that | was much
gratiEed after perusal Of your letter in the
journal OF the 5,h. Although there are
suggestions and assumptions in the letter
with which as matter of course do not
concur, yet in the main and practical points
OF the letter find 80 much to approve that
Il would be unjust not to award the mead OF
praise. But whilst candor prompts me thus
TO respond to the patriotic sentiments Of
your letter, truth compells me to tell you
that just about the time that your bleod was
made TO tipgle in hearing of the insults Of
fered to our ord national banner BY the rebel
traitors Of South Carolina, our blood, too,
was made to Jingle by sentiments OF disloyal-
ty to the flag of our country uttered By men
in our vicinity and of your own political
party; which sentiments, whatever may have
been their promptings, would have ELECTED
the warmest applause, had they been pres
emit, from those same traitors whose actions
your own honest patriotism so much loathes.
A careful review Of your letter forces me to
the conclusion that il lie an honest and pa.
triotic effort to place your political asso-
cates in the path of correct duty and allie.
glance to their government and its laws, and
thus bring them to that stand point to which
every LOYAL citizen should come in this
exigency of our affairs. am the more graft
6ed at this as it is fact too notorious in
THE community that during your absence
from our city, some Of the leaders o6 your
party sought to educate the people to differ
ent standard of political duty or patriotism;
come of the lessons Of which consisted in
strong declarations that the men OF your
party would feel themselves under no obi
CATION 10 defend tho flag Of their country in
q contest between the General Government
and the traitors that menace its overflow,
and that those who should respond to the
call of their-eeaatry to defsnd its flag from
insult, might aexeees warn FIRE in the
rear - thus declaring that there were plenty
OF traitors in the North as we'll IS in the
South. May | not venture the presumption,
sir, that the came measure OF condemnation
which you would meet out to traitor South
you will meet out to one North, be they ever
so closely allied to US by political or other
association.
Ii is due to truth aud candor that should
say that the sentiments to which allude as
having been uttered by your political friends
were uttered under circumstances Of pecu-
liar disappointment and discontinue, and
consequently under on excitement which does
not preclude the hope that the authors will
avail themselves Of returning reason to purge
themselves OF such sentiments.
Now, sir, as you have commenced the task
OF putting your political friends right before
the country sincerely trust you will not
weary in we'll doirg until the last svmpathi-
ser with tho traitors is dashed into obedience
to the laws Of tho country.
Respectfully, UNION.
