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.
" By the charter of this party, I fiodan iu
sectionalism. It tea party cor,Sued entire
S Jv to the Northern Staler-?both its- candi
dates are Northeip taeftl The idea of thi
majority section banding together for th<
pqjpoBe of Belzh.g tipttn tbff Government
0, is at war witb the spirit of the Constitution
The great idea 9S'.the Constitution is lh<

rbe first represented tlio perfect equality
if the States, tbo second would represent
iho domination of the North nnd the subjugation
of the South. 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. So regarding it, I have tbofljjl
lli 13 great paramount objectorour polig
was to let this Republican success ocdu
under the most auspicious circumstance

' curastancest thought would consist pYinci
pally in the largest Attainable aympatb
North, nnd t]? greatest unitjr South.These
conditions I thought were
ly to bo reached by a wise' and
moderation on the part of the South. r*x\
^Mkjordiiigly admed and acted in that d

up some morning and find tho flag of a
Southern Confederacy flouting over U9.?
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. Tho
constitution of Northern society is artificial
iu tho extreme. Immense wealth has been
accumulated there. 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. When, in sixty days, they havi
lost $500,000,000, and hoar the ctirscs c
(heir unctnplo3 ed mob, demanding breai
or blood, perhaps the doctrine of negn
equality will not he quite bo popular, nn<
the beginning of a ppwesfu^reaction mai
take place, tho harbingeF^of.fong years o
;genco and fraternity. But if no reactioi
? rtakes place, and our Northern tyrants per.sist
in putting us to our metal?very well
If nothing will ,do them but the sword, b
-> gj^lret us show them that we can gvasp th
T$wd as well as they can, that wo are nfr
degenerate descendants of those gloriou
heroes from whom we draw our lineage.?
If tho worst comes to the worst, wc can bu
fall, sword in hand, fighting for all tlia

result, if it comes to a quesUon-pfarms. W

"ALWAYS SINGING."
Wliilo talking with a neighbor, I heard
a sweet, plaintive voice singing that beanli- ful
hymn :
'Jesus, loyer of my soul!' |
The child was up stairs ; I knew it was a
child's voice from its silvery softness. I <
listened awhile, and then said,
'That child has a sweet voice.'
'Yes, 6lie has,' returned my frtej&d, 'sue is
always singing !*" ^
Always sibging.
Sweet, happy chil/fl Bird oraugel wing !'

flood of happiness within thy soul! A soul
strong to will and to do; a soul lighted with
' the smile of Jesus and anchored on the
surest hope; -a aoul that with more thau a
child's strerfglh shall part the dark waves
as it goes down the surging tide of heath.
' Always singing 1
I passed that way again. Summer was
hero in her fullness, strewing the earth with
lowers and the sky with stars. The sRfne
sweet voice was thrilling on the air,
' 'Oh, had I wings like a dove, I would
1 fly!'
^ This timo th&'littlo singer was in the
yard. 1 gazed upon the spiritual softness of'
' her features?the sweet eyes like 'brown
I birds flying to tlio light,' the fino expressive
lips, the dark silken cm?T; I felt that she I
would soon have lior wish answered, aud
a 'find a refuge jn Heaven.'
t Always sibging.
