Washington City, Dec. 19, 1836. i Dear Sir: I have noticed that the Tele graph, since i's management fell into your hands ? and I must do it the justice to say that it hos at all times been consistent on the same : subject ? has directed itself' to the purpose of | advising the slaveholding States of the dan gers with which they a' e surrounded. : Von have ad nonished the Soul h that the j abolitionists in the North ? re neither f w nor i impotent, and if you will accept praise from 1 me, 1 will award to you its meed for having j done your duty. I I am a New England man, ?'by birth, cdiN i cation, and principle," and a close attention } to thftfliihject fas enabled me to discuss it with ! irttSSom auU c< rrectnessT EeTTrrr t^ll yon at I the onset, that the abolitionists do contemplate ! not only the abolition of slavery in the Dis ! trict of Columbia, but i's. abolition throughout ! the slaveholaing States. Their march is I onward, And no matter whether they be con-* j sidered as enthusiasts, fanatics, df mad inen i they have but one end in view, and that is the ! total abrogation of slavery in the Union. They are zealous, industrious, rich, and tal ented, and I know not how they can be impe ded in their progress. Those who tell you that they are impotent, and weak in numberr feeble in resotirces, without talents and with" out means, tell you that which is false, and would delude and betray you. I profess to be as well acquainted with this subject as any man in the United States can be. and I may add,*I obtained my information at the expense of all I possessed. Whon, in the year 1832, the spirit lition first assumed an imposin the North,. I was the proprietor of a flourishing' nrtfS]5aper publication. ? I met the fanatics, as they were then called, at the threshold, "with firebrands and m<ssile3," and for the good of my country and the safety of the constitution, strove to put an end to their machinations., At the outset I found but little d.fficultv, and the better portion of socicty encouraged me in my labors. The season of success did not last long, however; the spirit of the fanatics was arrayed against me ? the sequel is soon told ? they prostrated me and my paper. To escape a total wreck, I aban doned the place, and was temporarily associa ted with another publication in a neighboring city. That paper was devoted in its hostility to the fanatics for many months ; but at last was compelled, by the force of public opinion, and by the Joss it sustained, to abandon its pursuit of the common enemy of the public repose And now there is not a press north of .Mason and Dixon's line, that can be sus tained, if it devotes itself to an opposition to anti-slavery. The New York Commercial Advertiser, once one of the most zealous in opposing the fanatics, has been silenced. The New York Courier and Enquireronly speaks in a whisper now and then, to satisfy its Southern patrons. The Boston Commercial- Gazette, a paper which at one time because of its de voted hostility to the fanatics was called by them 'The Incendiary Publication, and Slave holder's Manual," now utters not a word in behalf of the institutions of slavery. 1 repeat, no paper can exist north of Mason and Dixon's line, if it attempts to advocate the South. The abolitionists have called to their aid ? and secured ii ? one of the most, potent en gines in existence. I allude to the pulpit. Of all the engines that man in his political crusades ever call d to his assistance, the puU pit is the most powerful and insidious. It ?en erates its dogmas without opposition ; its arguments are not answerable, because the credulity and superstition of the world will not suffer them to be met ? because it has been settled by custom and veneration, that the pulpit can do no wrong. : Whatever emanates from it, in the estimation of a vast majority of the world bears the -impress of the God-head, and he who has the hardihood to dispale its edicts, 6oon finds himself scouted as an infidel and a heretic. The opinions of the pulpit go abroad as the received and registered mandates of the AN mighty, and the votaries of religion bow be fore them and yieJd a ready and a willing con cession. I offer no reproach to the religion of our fathers ? I intend no disrespect to the pulpit, but facts must be stated. In the non-slaveholding States ? I know the assertion is a bold one, and by many will be deemed an exaggeration ? there is not a regu-* larly organized church or christian socicty, that has not within its circle a secret or an avowed anti-slavery society. If the pastor be a man of political sagacity, of prudence and foresight, he feels his way among the parish - oners ? 1 mean the wea'thy part t>f them ? until he is enabled to ascertain the state of the ! pulse.; If the wealth of the cburch will lis^ ten to abolition doctrines, he openly espouses the cause ? if it be opposed to the crusaders, he holds on for awhile, and proclaims himself a friend of colonization. There is but a step between colonization and anti-slavery ; the one ? look at the conversion of Doctor Chan ning, Arthur Tappan, and GSrrett Smith? begets the other. .. - It is thus that anti-slavery finds its way to tbe church ; and when once entered, ?t takes so deep a root that irs abrogation is utterly im*. possible ; like the torrents of tjie Niagara, it sweeps all into orte common vorlex ! Anti -slavery pervades every nook ant! cor ner of New . England society ; jt is to be found in the- stews, in the house of the publi can, at the hustings^ in the senate, -in the church, in the forttfn, in the market-place, in the nursery, in the cottage, in - the palace, m tbe cradle, and on the couch of expiring age. It is thrumbod on the piano, engrafted into ballad and son?, is sermonized by the parscn, immortalized by the orator, prayed for in the chapel, is the burden of the monthly conccrt and prayer, receives the widow's mite and the rich'man's thousands, is r.haunted by the urchin and eulogized by the matron. It is made the associate of all associations, is em blazened by the jewels of the boarding school miss,* and imprinted on the toys of childhood. In a word, it has circulated itself through the veins and arteries of all classes of New Eng land socicty. * Whilst the Presidential election was pend ing, political partisans on both sides manage cd to keep it, to a certain extent*^ from the polls. Each party was anxious lent till the contest v deemed in* s R':od8 Inland, however, it was somewhat poli j tica!. In Vermont nnd Rhode-Island, the i abolitionists voted for Gen. Harrison; in Mas saciiusetts they went to a man for Mr. Van Buren. As a party, they had not organized for action on the Presidential election, and therefore were govcrned-in their votes by ca ! price and local consqferations. Ah a party; however, they avowed?- their hostility to Judge White, because he was a s'aveholder; and in Vermont and Rhode Island they voted for Gen. Harrison, because he had said in-one of his letters something about appropriating the sur* plus revenue to theiobro atlon of negro stnv>. ery. fn Massachusetts they voted for Mr. Van Huren, bccause he was from a nonsrteveholding State, and because of their abhorrence of Ed ward Everett, tjie then candidate far Gover nor. W With the election of Mr* Van -ihev are now piMflgeily- satisfied; and when tfra struggle for his Selection shall take plac?, all New England ? "a')} the nonslaveholding States ? will be governed in their votes by nis avow, als in referenced? slavery.

The General is in the vicinity of fifty, hair inclined to grey, brows and eyes YVefoterian, six feet in height, and tout ensemble, that of one accustomed io the exercise of authority. From the jocose character of his incidental observations whilst engaged in attesting, we should imagine that his health and spirit sur vive the effects of his many arduous services in the field ; and though withdrawn from the service? of his country, he retains the posses sion of a soldiers attributes. There is per haps, no one in the army, or out of it, whose opinion in matters connected With the South ern Indians,- could be so advantageously con sulted as his ; with the Creeks and Seininoles, he is particularly familiar. Surrounded by circumstances, which render the retention of his commission, and obligation to those who conferred it, and possessing a frank and fear less spirit he long ago in the strongest lan guage, called the attention of the War Departs ment to thj probability of a protracted and sanguinary contest with these people and urged a timely recourse to, the requisite pre cautio'>s. His opinions were disregarded, and the disastrous consequences are known to the nation. "I shall n?'t, Mr, President," said Gen. Scott "propound to witness, the usual introductory questions ; shall not ask General Clinch, to tell the Court or the people, the character of the relation he held to me in the Florida war. ? As second in command his pos ition was too conspicious to demand designa* tion at this time, or in this placc ? I shall ; therefore, with your permission dispense with | the leading queries." The General's replies; were cleariy confirmatory of all the statements' adduced by previous witnesses, and wholly exonerating Scott from the smallest share in the failure of the Florida compaigns. The most interesting scene of the morning, was the direct examination of the witness by Gen. Macomb. Ue was a veteran who had refused the proffer ofhigh rank from the President himself ; one who had hunted the savage foe in the prairie and the hammock ; and uncon nected with the rivalries of military aspirants or political jugglers, and present only from a sense of duty to fiis countrymen, lie it wae to whom the President directed the Judge Advocate to propound the following question, and he it was, who annexed to U ita very per tinent response; '* '??
