Col, NJ, prcmecs his communication to
the Post, by the following letter, which he
had previously written to the journal OF
Commerce, in New York;
NEW York HOTEL, Jan, II, ct.
To the Editors Of the journal Of
Commerce In order to correct the
misapprehension of the people OF
the North MS to the insecurity OF
Northern or loyal mon in Texas, !
beg leave to represent through your
excellent journal, that these misGp-
prehcnsions are caused by ISLANDERS,
There arc now living in Texas
many soldiers of the volunteer ar-
my of the United States, who went
there since the war. The President
of the Galveston City Railroad, who
was elected by Galvcstonians, is well
known to be in sentiment sincere
abolitionist.
The Hon. Ashbcl Smith, of Harris
county, and Frank Merriman, of
Galveston, two of the most promi-
nent members of the last Legisa-
ture, and most honored and beloved
citizens of Texas, are both natives
of the State Of Connecticut,
As brave men as fought or died
in the Confederate army were north
ern born and northern reared, and
vice versa, as brave men as died in
the Union army were born and
reared in the South These facts are
known to the soldiers of both ar
mics. The people Of Texas will re-
ceive with open arms, and afford
equal protection to emigrants from
the Northern as well rs Southern
States
While Texans rejoice to receive
the thousands of emigrants now 60
ing from the Southern and Western
States and from Europe, they would
rejoice no less to receive emigrants
from the North. There are mil
lions of rich and fertile acres of
land in Texas now lying uncultivat-
ed, and all Texans wish these lands
to be cleared, fenced, and cultivated,
for it would add to the wealth, pros
perity and happiness Of their State.
To say that Northern emigrants
would not be protected both in per-
son and property, as well as any
other emigrants, is slander upon
the fair fame of the Texas people
it is not the truth.
Those Texans who charged the
old flag so gallantly at Gaines Mills,
and went through the four lines of
the Union army at Second Manas-
sas, acknowledge the heroism and
gallantry oftheir Northern brother
en- at Antietam, Vicksburg and
many other bloody fields ofbattlc in
our late senseless and unfortunate
civil war. They know that we Of
the North and South, are of the
same race, language, customs, man
ners and religion. They know that
we were melted to cut one anoth-
er's throats by unprincipled polite
ians and heartless demagogues.-
They earnestly wishtor the peace
and development Of Texas, and the
happiness and prosperity of the
American people. The bad crops in
Texas last year, they know, were
owing to overfows, drouths and the
cotton worm, and not to lack of in
dustry. This year they have every
prospect, in consequence of the i'm
mense immigration to their State,
of growing more wool and making
more cotton by hundreds of thous-
ands of pounds, than ever before.
All they desire is peace and quiet,
and they fatter themselves that
they may become not a auseless APP
pendage to the great American I'm
ion, but the great wool and cotton
producing State Of America.
Very respectfully,
GALVESTON CIVILIAN.
| take occasion as q Southerner,
sincerely desirous Of restoration
of kind feelings and fraternal love
between the people ofthe north and
south, as well as the Union, to thank
you for your proper defence of the
South. Your rebuke of Radicals, in
the following editorial paragraph of
yesterday, forcibly struck me as be-
ing nothing more than just:
HThere is bitter, hateful, venomous
CLIQUE at the South, who clutch at every OPP
portunity to parade their chagrin and
wrathful grief in view of the downfall of
the rebellion. This clique makes noise out
of all proportion to its numbers and real
! importance. Lei wise and firm policy
prevail at Washington, and it will speedi-
ly sink into its proper insignifcance." ~
| T. Tribune.
There is q bitter hateful, venomous
cliaue' at the North, who clutch at every
] opportunity 10 HAnlleel iltlT NIaiu Raiuch
the South by disappearing its acts and
sposition-repeating calumnies against
( il coined by anonymous libellers, thus en-
deavoring TO excite the greatest animosity
! between the two sections, for party purpos-
ga. This clique isled by Thaddeus Stevens
and Charles Sumner, and alternately en-
couraged and reprimanded by the New
I York Tribune. These cliques Of North and
South. are the bane Of both sections"
Again, when speaking of the i'm
mortal Washington You say:
HHsuld that his eounsels and example
could direct the nation course in its pres
ent emergeDcy-ihat his eOncilianry spir-
I ii-his love Of the Union--his prayer for
its maintenance and charge TO frown down
all sectional jealousy and antipathy, could
command the Difference due his pure mo
tives and patriotic heart. But the people
who nov control the Government have fall
en- from the faith Of their fathers and
brought sore affection upon the land When
The shadow is 10 pass from us Heaven only
knows Madness rules the hour, aud suf-
rariro rru.f he nrr lot until Reason is again
