dependent upon public bounty.
Solfintercst, even if there were no high,
er motives, would, therefore, prompt the
whites of the South to extend to the ne-
grocs care and protection. The impor-
tant fact that the tworaces are, under ez-
isting circumstances, necessary to each
other gradually becoming apparent to
both. and, we believe, but for influences
exertetf to stir up the passions of the me-
eroes, the relations of the two races
would soon adjust themselves on a basis
of kindness and mutual advantage.
1t is true tbatthe people otsthe South,
together with the people of the Northand
West, are, for obvious reasons, opposed to
anv system of laws which would place
the political power of the country in the
hands Of the negro race. But, the orpo-
si,ion springs from no feeling OF enmityt
but from q deep-scated conviction that, at
present, the negroes have neither them
teligence nor the qualifications which are
necessary to make them safe repositories
OF political power. They would inevita-
bly, become the victims of demagogues,
who, for selfish purposes, would mislead
them, to the serious injury OF the public.
The great want Of the South is peace.
The people earnestly desire tranquility
and the restoration of the Union. They
dcprecate disorder and excitement as the
Emost serious obstacle to their prosperity
They ask q restoration. of their rights
under the Constitution. Yhey desire re-
lief from oppressive misrulc. Above all,
they look to their countiymen for the es-
Establishment in the Southern States otthat
which has Justly been regarded as the
brth-riglb,ot evory Amcrican---the right
of sclf-government Establish Lhcse on q
firm basis, and We can safely promise. or
behalf of the Southern people, that they
will faithfully obey the Constitution and
la WIS of the United States, treat the negro,
with kindness and humanity, and tulaE
every duty incumbent on peaceful citizens
loyal to the Constitution oftileir country
We believe the above contains sue
cinct reply to the general topics embraced
in your letter, and we venture TO say,- or
behalf of the Southern people, and Of. the
officers and soldiers of the late Confeder-
ate army, that they will concur IN all tho
sentiments which We have expressed
T Approaching the patriotic motises Which
have prompted your letter, and reciproca..
ting your Expressions of kind regard, we
have the homo. to be, very respectfully
