Dcur Sir :-About q year aro tbis
time, we had some correspondence
with you concerning the subject of
Cotton Gins and Machinery, also
Ihreshing Machines. We have not
heard fon' you sirco yours of Aug.
loth, G7, in reply to our letter OF 18Th
August.
As we arc looking over old letters
OF leC1, to put them by, we came TO
yours, and as it does lot appcar to
have been acknowledges, wc improve
few moments TO write you npon tho
subject Of machines, and VIC send Won
our Catalogue with prices aud card,
to cay wo will make 10 per cent dis
count from tho printed prices in said
Catalogue fer cash.
In our letter we replied TO your
comments in our own way, as to tho
political status Of tho country North
ard South, as itarrearcd from our
stand point here at The North. We
were much pleased with your able
reply OF August l9,h, and could not
but fymp"lh'zs with your people in
your way OF thinking, AS you seon, t.
Oc in true earnest iu your connections
and believed every word you wrote
Now while We thus sympa,h!zy with
YOU, wo still feel you are in error as
TO tho intentions or Ultimate results
OF the acts of Congress. Now a!mos,
j year has intcrvencd since our Cor
respoEdcncc, and when we loyk b;,cl,
ovor the past eleven months, we feel
that our view Of the case was q clio.
ser and moro correct one than Ms
expressed by you in tho matter. We
would that Carolina had long ago
ranged in line as -sho now has dono
sho was the first to 70 out of the
Union as she termed it, and we here
feel TINT she is the first one back in
1t, in fact and in heart, as South
Carolina has always been bold and
honorable TO fault, which has crop.
Ped out in her dealings with other
States.
We do not fear another ST Domin.
go-we do not believe the government
will be shaken from tho policy
which has governed for three years
past.
The, two ii, kets are now in the
field. Ono is for peace nnd reorpani.
zalion upon the plans of Congress and
the other is for revolution and disor-
gan'zation and reputation.
IL ID not hard to docide ut this early
date what will be the result of The
election in November next. While
we would wish greater statesman
than Grant, We ind him the sponta.
neous choics of the voting population
North who have, made our Coneress
and who will sustain their policy
through Grant. In referring TO our
letter Of last year we are prone 10
say it:lacked that civilty and polite
Eess which we should have expressed,
as we really feltpo unkind ness in our.
eeart on writing it: We will be bar.
py to hear from you on any subject.
Your letter tf tho. 10Th August was
as good, able and sensible oommupi.
cation as we have received from tho
South and should have boen acknowi.
edged long ago. :c-'.
We are yours truly, n !
