RESPECTED SIR; Ia my tr.t letter en-
deayored to show that the only legitimate Oh.
Ject OF the pending war Is the integrity Of the
nation as constituted ny the constitution OF
the United States. shall now attempt to
point out some oil the consequences to be ap
pretended from making 1t war on the iunda-
mental principles OF that constitution.
Let 1t never be forgotten that We are one
| people and one nation only so fGr as tie Con
StHHtiOH makes as one. Outside OF that bond
We are thirtyfuu peoples and thirty four ma
tons, none Of which have any more right to
| interfere with the local laws and institutions
| OF the rest than with the laws and Institutions
of China and Brazil. The people Of the states
have right, under the constitution, to de.
fend their local laws and institutions by arms,
it necessary and it is the duty Of the United
States to uphold and aid them in the attempt.
| a war confined to such an object would not
| be rebellion, even though the United State.
! were the aggrcssur. just 50 far, therefore.
! a. IIle hrhllbn war may DC Wdktl against
| southern institutions, the southcrncr- in
arms will cease TO be rebels, and the north
erucr. in arms will become in truth what they
are now falsely charged with bcing-thc
wan;ou as-ailant- Of southern rights Let me
not be misunderstood Thus far the war ha.
| been confined 10 an enforcement Of the con
stituton and laws of the United States, and
in their armed resistance, the southcrncrs are
/ the United States abandon this firm and sac.
/ uniform let them announce that the war i
