Sir: I will be In town the end of the month,
From your published viewe, but little good can
result from an interview. If you are for the
Union, and think it can be preserved by con-
ciliating the South, confess am amazed. They
have made war upon you, because they suspect
ed that you would yield nothing more to them
are you to yield more under conpulsion of the
war, or because you can neither conquer the
South, nor yet subsist as an independent state
without her? If you love Slavery and wish to
continue it, and if you think you can build up
with honor restored aud united republic by
humbling yourself to the South, l can only e1-
press my surprise at the dream which possesses
you. You may separator you may fight ou
this contest and win-but to leave the slave
still slave will expose you to the contempt of
the civilized world. I applaud the Proclamation
of the President, as does every man in Europe
who is not a foe to Freedom, or moved by base
hostility to the American Republic because it Is
q republic, and because it is powerful When
in town, will see you.
