blY DEAR SIR Being deprived Of the uso OF
my arms for the present by severe attack Of
rheumatism ! am compelled to avail myself Of
the services Of an amanuensls, in reply to your
two letters.
Il Scans thai some Of my friends are unable 10
comprehend The difference betUeca arguments uS.d
~ ldror Of an c4uitojle compromise, uFh he
h0pe of ane,tmg The Horrors Of lodr, and those
urged in support OF the government and the Lag
Of our country, tch0 Dar IS jeing rdgf against
the iaiiM States, NTH The ar0wed purpose ot
producing permanent disruption Of NE Union
and a t0tal destruction Of lis government.
All hope Of compromise with the cotton states
was abandoned when they assumed the position
that the separation Of the Union was complete
aud final, and that they would never consent 10
reconstruction ia any e0ntiHgncy-Hok erea u
re rould furnish Than ujH a Hah shstt Of pa-
per and permit Lhem 10 iHscri5e Hey olOa terms.
Still the hope was cherished that reasonable
and satisfactory terms OF adjustment could be
agreed upon with Tennessee, North Carolina and
the border states and that whatever terms would
prove satisfactory to these loyal states would
create q Union party in the cotton states which
would BE- powerful enough at the blllJt box to
destroy the revolutionary government. and bring
those States back into Ne Union Nv die 7oice Of
their own people. This homo was cherished by
tho Imam men Nortb Ind smith and wna necer
abandoned ninth octnaI war was levied M
