n yrrr,v rIApSsy. esa.-Sir; thank you for
vcur very kindly expressed letter Of sympathy 'oE
nv hlesdiue, suffering, agonized country. thank
you for tho papers too; papers bearing tile SO
hoIne-lko, for IN citizen Of the State Of Ne~
ysrscy and taero my family reside.
I thank NY God that there arc to he fond some
aruo-Loarted, honest and faithful Engishmcn; true
90 the liberties which FIRST dcvned in magma
Chartn;" honest in maintaining the principles OF
constitutional law and faithful in their desire 70
ebsorye ;hc obligations due 10 friendly nation.
From the arlices in the papers sont ne, Per
COVE You ere well informed os o tho true position
of the coutestine parties; aud At may be IrcsGnip-
non on my part 20 endesvor 10 add anything ="
your evidently good stock Of the history Of THIS
wicked Rebellion.
Unjust however say that thorc Is nothing SAVIOR
ing Of Democrocy an the principles which ins1 sateo
This Rebellion, but exactly the reverse; you cor
rectly style i the "revoit of Ia Slave oigarchy'
rke original sia7e States have in their State laws
ead organizations nothing of Democracy visible
nothing, say, in their organic las which ree'g-
aizes the equality Of tho poor man. Behold tAe
State OF south Carolina, with its population Of 10
600 white ana 3S5 coo slaves! ! hayc not at hand
the census returns Of 1850, or l could
Give Won tho numoer OF slaYe-owners IN that
ststo; you would DO surprised to see how
aforementioned is the distributions; the weather
planters held each from 700 10 300 slaves; there are
but few Of hom holding less than 300. In this State
Che treason commenced, in this State Of South Car
ol,na whose planters govern ~ilh fierce despotism
which woua rot be tolerated IN any European state
You ney regard this IN contrayention of the Con-
stitution o. the Untci States which requires that
each state shall have republican form OF govern-
nenl-ayc II j. republican IN form, but not IN fact;
every planter holds to some extent the life Of his
slave in his power, and jnries have boon very rarely
convened for the trial of for shooting ms out
slave; and if the farm Of an investigation is SOME
times made, it is merely to declare tho act Jus'h-
nbe."
Throughout the South, the laborirg white man is
s@yled poor sehitc trash and even tho negroesare
taught tOrssard With contempt tho wAie wno laOors
for bis bread. This policy Of the wealthy classes,
has not only oxololl from tde sacred soil, foI-
oiRn iIniuigr. npn, bat it has reduced the poor
white Trash Jorn amorg thcI to a degraded class
OF yagabond rahians ripe for any aci Of brutality.
You win thus perceive how II is, that the Slave
States embracing as thy 10 q Inroh larger aren
than the Ere States, have population Of less tlan
1000 700 sa.es, while the Fioe states hold more
Chan y 900 O0O. The slave owners who the
landed propIe.ors Of the South, number about JOO,-
900 mon, holding }9ur millions II siope', andamong
o few Of THE class has this treason had its origin.
1len eiabttcsed by political 1eEat and disappointed
ambition men whose reason ~ blinded by passion;
tnen who nave madly planned their severance from
u,e Ooio1, int they might establish Monarchy
on the ruins % the South. The men were the
tnssisatogs OF the raids against Cuba in 1850, and
more recently against Central America. 4 lawla.s.
Goddess SGT Of robbers and how thoy have received
sympathy, aid and comfort from Tie Government Of
Great Britain, is matter well understood in the
United States, whose people viii never forgive any
Foreign Interference viii never forget the bgnder-
tag and siupid errors Of the British Ministry.
We hope and pray i.iat tho war win be speedily
brought 10 close, but that happy event can never
BE realized oxcep, in the reconstruction Of tho
Onion. There can be no desirable peace with &C.
ographcai division; 10 quiet, except the Rebellion
u crushed an lis leaders brought to the scaTold to
expate the crimes Which have deluged their land
with blood.
viii Ssost respect yours obcdienty.
