THE RACK. FLAG

There has been desire OR the part of some of
friends that in view of the late atrocious proc
lsmation of Lincoln, we should raise the Black
Flag, and initiate war of determination and ndis-
eliminate slaughter.
Twill net.impugn the motives of my fellow-eiti-
zens, whose zeal has been thus-unduly excited but
would rather ask them to consider the matter and
subject it tothe dspassionate reflection to which
question Of such magnitude and measure of such
awful import is entitled
80 The proclamation of Lincoln is of too horrible
character for human language to portray. 1t is too
nonstrous for ordinary denunciation; it is docu-
uent drawn outin ell the horrors of demoniac fury
But it IS not for US to regard so much what our
enemy has done, or may attempt to do, as to re:
volve in our minds what have protessed before
God and declared to the world.
We have said that we wanted no more than our
rghts-those political rights which we supposed
were secured to US under the Constitution of the
old Union, and the Inheritance we enjoyed under
the Revealed Word of God
Being deprived of the enjoyment of this by the
action of the free States in long course of wrong
which made the old Unior one of social curses and
political outrage we declared our independence of

Il may be of:interest 10 your numerous readers
to know that, with not cent of additional expense
tallow candles can be made fully equal in point Of
meritto the common stareandle
To two pounds Of tallow add one teaspoonful OF
strong ley from wood ashes, and simmer over a
slow fre-when greasy scum will float on top ;
skim this off for making soap, lit is very near soap
already as long astcoutihues to rise. Then mould
your capdles as usual, making the wicks a little
smaller-and you have a pure, hard tallow candle,
worth knowing how to rnake-and one that burns
as long and gives light equal to sperm. The
chemistry demonstrates itself An ounce or two OF
beeswax. will make the candle some harder and
sleeping the wicks in spirits turpentine will make it
burn some brighter.

GEN. SCOTS LETTER.

The following letter which purports to have been
written by Gen. Scott, has appeared in the papers
North and South, without calling in question its
authenticity. We give it as a part of the history
Of the times:
So WASHINGTON, March 8, 1851.
DEAR SIR:-Hoping that in day or two the new
President will have happily passed through all per-
sonal dangers, and find himself installed an honored
successor of the great Washington with you as
chief of his Cabinet l beg leave to report in wri-
ting what have before said to you orally, this sup
plement to my printed views" dated IN October
last on the highly dlsordered condition If our ESQ
late) happy ana glorious Union.
ITO meet the extraordinary exgencies of the
times, it seems to me that am guilty OF no arro-
gance in limiting the President field Of selection
to one Of the four plans Of procedure subjoined.
L. Throw off the old and assume a new designa-
tion-the Union party. Adopt the conciliatory
measures proposed by Mr.. Crittenden or the peace
convention-and, my life upon it, we shall have no
new case Of secession; but on the contrary, an
early return Of many, if not ALL of the States which
have already broken off from the Union. Without
some equally benign measure the remaining slave
holding States will probably join the Montgomery
Confederacy in less than sixty days, when this city
being included in foreign country, would require
permanent garrison of at least thirty five thousand
troops to protect the Government within it.
g. Collect the duties on foreign goods outside the
ports Of which this Government has lost the CON-
rnand, or close such ports by act Of Congress and
blockade them.
8. Conqder the seeded States by invading armies.
No doubt this might be done in two or three years
by young and able general Wolfe, Desaix or
a Hoche, with three hundred thousand disciplined
men-estimating third for garrsons, and the loss
Of q yet greater number by skirmshes, seiges bat
ties and Southern fevers The destruction Of life
and property the other side would be frightful,
however perfect the moral discipline of the invaders
The conquest completed at that enormous waste
of human life to the North and Northwest with at
least two hundred and fifty million dollars added
thereto and cHib0no Fifteen devastated provinces,
not to be brought into harmony with their con-
querers, but to be held for generations, by heavy
garrisons, at an expense quadruple the net duties
or taxes which it would be possible to extort from
them, followed by protector or an emperor.
4. Say to the seeded States-wayward sisters
depart in peace.
In haste, remain very truly yours.

Ex-Governor Seymour and the Southern Epis-
copalianS.

Ex-Governor Seymour and the Southern Epis-
copalians.
The Hon. Horatio Seymour, Democratic candi-
date for Governor in New Work, addressed the
Protestant Episcopal Convention, on the 4th DAY
of its session. The question was the adoption OF
a resolution submitted by Hon. Murray Hoffman,
declaring ..-. t-.r-.
"That in view of the danger of this country
from civil war, the House of Bishops be respect
fully requested to prepare form of prayer to be
used during the session of this Convention" ~
Mr.. Seymour, in the course of his remarks said
ait was his earnest hope, as it was his sincere con-
victon, that the influences of the Episcopal Church
would be a most ready and effective instrument in
bringing about the healing up of the wounds and
the restoration of blessed peace" When he heard
DR.. Vinton heap denunciation on the South, he
could not refrain from casting his thoughts forward
for relief to thai period still three years in the fl-
ture, when this Convention would again assemble,
when the whole Church, North and South, would
again be gathered around the common altar to offer
there common sacrifice.
Let there be nothing, then, placed upon record
to revive rancor in that hour of cordial reunion"
"For his part he has conscientiously and
frankly, under strong convictions of duty to his
country from the very first, opposed the extraya-
CANT action of those especially welded to this war;
yet be desired just as earnestly to the Church
made Enthusiastically before the South and the whole
world" He conjured the Convention to IDEAL
with our Southern brethren as children of the same
Father-as members of the same flock-as fellow
countrymen once-as such to be again-as Chris
tians I" r....
Marked sensation (says the Tribune reporter) &C
companied the delivery Of the address, and q very
visible disposition to applaud was noticed in a por-
ton of the house
The Richmond Wing says:
We copy these extracts from the address to indi-
cate the sentiments towards the South entertained
by public man, occupying a conspicuous position
before thePeopA Of the North. Whatever may be
thought of his judgment in regard the future it
will be admitted that the sentiments expressed BY
him contrast strongly with the demoniac reyilings
and msledctions of the South, which have ema-
mated from nearly every public speaker and writer
in the North since the commencement of the war;
1t IS impossible that man eyincing SO much of the
rarity Of Christian charity" can be elevated to
office in New York, unless the millennium is at hand
