IN EX-SLAVE OWNER ON SLAVE COMPES-
SATION.
To the Edftor Of The Trfbune

To the EdftOr OF The Trfbune.
SIR: AS a Southern planter and large slave
owner up the time OF emancipation, shall take the
liberty Of expressing opinion, which satisfied
will be approved by every man South once a slave
owner, in regard TO these silly charges made by the
Grant papers, that the Southern people expect through
Mr. Greeleys election to gain compensation for the loss
Of their slaves. The truth is, there is not South
that enerains the remotest idea OF such thing When
lost slaves by war; and by the emancipation proc
lamaOn, were fully satisfied that we had lost them
forever and that would never be compensated for
the loss. We all understood that in future we must
make the best of situation and get along other
people had done that owned slaves We submitted TO
the fate Of war; and disposed 10 20 back into the
Union citizens, letting bygones be bygones, hoping
that the bad feelings OF the war would die out with
both parties and q stronger union be cemented
than had existed for the previous thirty
years. But the Government thwarted our
designs by keeping Of the Union and dsfranchis
ing large number OF our people and imposing upon US
rulers that have bankrupted our States burdened us
with and frauds which have caused us as great
loss the emancipation of slaves. Nothing could
fociby and appropriately expressed tho true
sentiment and wishes of the South than the speech OF
Mr.. Greeley at Portland, when he said; From those
who support in the South have heard but one de-
mand-Justce; one desre-RecOncliatiOn. They wish
% be heartily reunited and at peace with the North on
any which do not involve surrender OF their man
ho1dU Mr. Greeley never uttered trer senfence fban
that His speech for him many Southern vote rs
that hesitating and has confirmed those that were
supporting him. Let me say again. weexpect Of this Gov
no pensions for crippled soldiers. Each State can
provide fOy its The true Sontnern nan ls for
union OF equals, but not such union as have had
for the last seven years Gen. Grant could have
cOmplished all that Mr. Greeley Will accomplish had he
used moderation aud justice In his administration Its

SIR: In this State it Is difficult to see how
the result can be doubtful. We viii poll IN october

90 600 majority on that vote should in twenty Of
them be Liberal it would be transfer OF 1900 votes

We think be doubt that ten cent OF he
