Col. Joseph c. Brgdley,
DEAR sm:-Your letter of the 2sth nit
was received yesterday. Suffer me to re-
lnrn you my thanks for the many favors
you have done me, and for sets Of special |
kihdness received at your hands on various
occasions.
fully agree with you in the suggestion
mat We should elect none but Conserva-
uves 70 Congress az the approaching cleo
ton. mean by Conservatives those who
were not original secessionists. 1t is Of the
most importance to the State Of A laba1na,
a well as all toe States that withdrew
from IA the Union, that they be represented
sncn representative as will prevent al !
eayilllng on account Of thez former politi- s
eaI status, and thus ensure their seats in | I
the National Legislature. We now want {
pea e. harmony and such legislation as will
promote the best interests Of the whole &
country This can most certainly be ef- 5
iected by having full representa- ion from {
al the States Of the Union. If we elect 2
men VINO have been considered ultra in {
thelr southern views and feelings, objec- U
tons may be made to their taking their =
seats IN Congress, which could not be raised E
against Conservative men. j. would be i
we'll for the country, II men Of this class q
could be sent from every State, North and d
south. such representatives would be more u
Akeiy to bring about that union, harmony, q
and just and liberal legislation which the / il
country so much needs, than radicalists q
,nd extremests from whatever section o.
hey mingt come. 80 fer as nv in Il
ormstion at this time extends, / an o.
los aware Of any lesding secessionist b
Who desires q seat in Congress. They feel, Ii
presume, as you and I DO, that, under she Ii
ircumstances, they would be able to do il
ess for the country, than men who have p
ccupied more conservative position. d.
hey know thatthe tWo.main QUESTION SIN d
olyed in the the late war 7 mean slavery 7
nd the right Of a State peacefully 10 gecede fr
