Gentlemen:?My high 1#|pect for you imhices me to liuelen reply to your note. j[ Lincoln tie elected, i tninj; tuo Soulhcni States should withdraw from the Union?nil ; it col all, then ns many as will, and if no oilier, South Carolina aloDe, in the promptest manner, mid by tho most direct means* To comprehend the full significance of Lincoliiii election, we must remember the J. Jp * * # principles, the character and the sentiment of i? e Republican party. , ~ .The vital pVinciplc of this party is negro'* efyfality, tlio only local finale of wliioJ^'-Jjs . emancipation. To see thia,*is only necessary to loolc at their plyXpriu, which, though intended for dbvious^ipgBsqns 6f poliey to ; appear conservative, yet raises tlie veil in parj;. This platform say 'we jiold,thnt all men arecremted equal, that thtfk are endowed 1 by their Creator with cerlsnh inalienaSle lights ; that among these, are life, liberty,*' ' &c.?and this on the Motion of Mr. Ged? t dings. This is.intended.to include negroes. It follows, therefore, according to Hepubli can faith, that no one can he rightfully held * in shivery. Slavery, then, is the great wrong, t ? The Republican party are bound, there? x fore, so far n? their constitutional power . goes, to remove that wrong. At presebt tlieir nrantinnl nnint of i? llio T?rr'_ > tories; when tlm question shatt no loriger 6 exist, then the District of Columbia wilt re* ccive their attention, and so on'with the ^ othfcr i^fikpsts of slavery. Supposing these outposts disposed of, then the movement t- necessarily must be directed against elavery l" in tue btatep. It would be considered en tirely constitutional by the Republican)!, U> j" ngitate tho question so i^s to influence the South by moral means to abolish slavery. And aa soon as the admissiort'bf new free ^ States, and the change of slatorf of some ol ie the border states furni&hod the necessary majority- to change the Constitution, the Republican party would ho sure to ddOHtnd *uch change, and abolish slavery in the States. The Republican party has but one stopping place emancipation. ^fr.'Siiiatoi ^ Wilson, of Massachusetts, ono^rpie ablosl ill men in the Republicajyparty, comprehend ed the mi?*ioB oftLi?M?jr, 'I tell you here l>-- to night^ thrft the agitation of hmo'lM ala it vei/ w'" continue while the foot of a slav? ;Jc: .presses the soil American Republic.

A half a dozen unsuccessful campaigns could not put the South in a more abject condition. By tho sentiment of this party, I mean its antagonism to the South. R requires 110 elaborate proof to show that the feeling of lit is party is that of hostility to the South. Tho tone of tlio Republican press, tho temper of public speeches,such us arc delivered by Sumner and Lovejoy, and other leading men in the party, ilie sympathy for John Brown, tho very agitation of tho slavery question, and numerous other facts which might bo cited, show that tho great passion on whicU.lfliQ Republican party resls is hatred to the South. Such being tho Republican party, for the South to consent to its domination, is to consent to death. Not that I npprebend any startling measures of aggression by this party immediately. No, its policy is too <^tjfiously a wise moderation, and its leaders are men of too m'uch sagacity, to bo driven ahead of their programme.? But the more fact of such a party' taking possession of tho Federal Govern? :? ?< ?i._ iiiwui) 11 ita iiiu m.vjinviavicuuc ui limi uuuiil will bo tlio most fatal blow tlio South hop ever received. Tlio whole power and patronage of tlio Government will bo placed upon the side of aogro equality ; the Northern majority ndversotl/ys will be stimulated to new life, they will feel tho exultation of being tiie master States. The Southern States on tho other hand will le wounded in their prestige, their equality gone, hope less of tho fuiuro, they will be prepared foi defeat because they will have despaired ol victory. Great as nMJi^^joral effects, impcrlaift practical rfesuIt^i^Smd also speedily follow, The patronage of the administration woulc be used to build up a Republicmi parly in the border slave States j'Wd tho Federal judiciary would bo remodeled, so that the dogmas of,fanaticism would become the decrees of tho Supreme Court. Nor could we obtain prjtice by au abject submission if so inclined the agitation would go on "KtitiSP^eased volume when it was fonnc n^ig&hazardons, anil we would ultimately be forced to yield all, or to resis under- circumstances infinitely more discouraging than exist at present. To acquiesce in tlie vast powers of the Fede^ Government goitig into the bands of ou would-be masters, with tbe.intenlion of resisting at Borne future time, would be t< emulate tho infatuation Nomidiai Kiricri'who delivered Lis trARRures.-his arms _- "i ? v ; his elephants"and Lis deserters t<titt*rP.uaians and then renewed noD/l 1/toel if defence. '* ' If the South wjqniesccs in a RopnWica adrpiu>stration, I thiuk the question of ne , gro equality is settled against us, and.eraar cipation only a quealiou of time. I' h^v regarded this question in the same ligh for^yeam, and I Lave considered lliesucces "of the Republican party iir the Presidents election.

Th?t would be n great deal better llian paying tribute to tbe John Brown sympathisers. The South still has splendid cards in her hands if bho will only play llietn.

A few are richer than tho Kings of tho East, tho multitude laboi fnr llii'ic rliiilxr hronrl mnr?1* r\f ll??o is breath?tlio breath of credit. A civil convulsion will bring their paper system o credit tumbling about their heads. Tin first gun fired in civil war will cost then $500,000,000, and strikes will not be agpfined to the shoemakers, but will becotn< epidemic. If Lincoln is electccf, let us pu them at defiance, and if they incline to trj the last argument of kings against Us?u^er} well.
