Therefore, I make Geifera Pope's lettor of July 2,4, the occasioi of dropping a few notes to yourself Events have thrust upon you ito grav est responsibility in human annals A few montlis will determin . :nd do termine beyond recall, whether yoi iare equa~zl or ulnequtal to the task You do not oeenpy, Genteral, the high est oilicial positioni in the nation, bu do occupIy tihe position cr'eatcd b events, from whlich, with the least of fort, the greatest good can be acconm plished ; and from which, also, th greatest evil, by more permission, cal be Inflicted. Whosoever else mnigh save constitutional liberty, it is ccr tain yOU cani. American freedom protected by governments organ ize, undr.and secured by written consti tut ions, is the grand stake. Save it and your-s will riso-the very Tener itl'e of human rep~utatior 5. Lot ithb lost, or let other save it, without you help1, or in spite of your oppositionl and 110 mortal ever fell to lower dee] from higher placo, only because sa blind to chance or- unequnal to duty. Now, then, to this end I ask you t pardon me if I beg, first of all, to ful 1 y comprebend the one idea in Ameri enn politics, without which every ofh or idea can only confuse and mislead that the written constitution, and tha which is authorized thereby, is thb only legitimate Amnerisan will, and there fore, the only supreme Americal ~v, Violate, disregard, lose sight of .r re~' to see this one truth, and n aidofl or no learning can enlighten a pot' .n nor powor, nor armies ea v. eon. anarh as thoe ordea 'de otism as the goal, is inevita inrican destiny. next laceo, let me reim fr1 in times of publie peril t'.s, however discouraging, t'e est pubile virtue, and acce tamoneover flItterhig, is tile highies .P4si crme If you. hav.o th~ .reat of soul requlr~d ,to gppre crate truth, my lottars will-iiot b une though the triter ebo ro~ reCsonte em offiehil hea~lquartoes a "Vuirbul and disloyal" .Ce on this sido of the Copsti tu ilon a uided b)y this spirit' c frankness, repose in three separgt niotes to la ,eforo you the real fet tteng" ti e soparate but importan p~roposi0 hoy, of the Souther t~i 'i whito race, who will accept 1.i tary bills as a plan of roc ruct iol, and whlat are tile a1son4 d notion which c(ntrol and a to them in sucha ouCptanice 1 2. Who are the of the Southeri white race, who/Jet such bills as a plan of rcoll I *iol, and11 what are > the roaSons mnotives which control aInid actuaty im in such rejection ? r 3. W I plan will cordially unite , ll tihe. outhernl pCOIle, sceure per Inaniit unioin, avoid future wars, re store and increnso national prospelity, perpetuate constitutional government, and mnost effectually protect the A fri. con raco inl all their rights. And fi. nally, what the government and peo. plo of the North mut do as indispen sablo to peace, if they persist in for - ing upon the Southern States the plan of reconstruction proposed in the imili tary bills. And on these three pountb I iintend to set forthi thle facts which iCither General Pope nor his amphibious coun .ellors, nor Ii hi numerous spies, either eatn or will dare attempt to contro Vert. First, then, let us asccrta in distinet I., anid classify carefully, the mnCt ill tile South who accept these military bill,;, or profe-., to accept 'them, and learn froit tlemi what they accept. These are they : 1. Ofichlolders.-The most active of these are Federal oticebolders, and the Illost active, aatil, of' these, are those who come or were sent fiom the .orthe1rn Statvs. A niong these, it is a pleasure to say, tlere aro solme gcn ticileen f1ormling exceptions to tile rule', but neoariy all of tiesc exeptions a-re opposed to the military hills. Somile few among thitem I know to he gentlhe Iel, and who accept the bills, hut the greater body of these oilciors secim only intent upon Iiaking themselves and the governmcit odious to out poo pfe. The civil oflicers of the State may be described as quiescent rather than acquioscent. A few accept what they are orddred not to reject. 2. Adventurers.-By these I 1en11 persons who never act with the con sisteccy of' priniciples, nlor1 ill an1y spirit. o Ilevotioln to right, njor in an ty spirit of devotion to public good. They are bred bvy revolut ions, ai, iI their itu, breed the chief horrors of all revolt tionists. h'ley gather o States ill s trouble like lijes inl the roo11 of' the t sick. They lire alwayson the strong , side, Genoral. They comiposed the a unprincipled portionl of the secession - party. '- These are they'who connit 1 ted the fraufls, deceived the people, i stirred tile passions of thb masses, who SWelito into seerdt societies with an Ill I dian naile, aid pledged thiemselvos to force tho.State out it the people did not vote it. These tire they who 'le'l the people into their present condi Stion, and *who seek to p1lun1ige them in to 8till deeper in isfortunes." I know a these men well. They are among G eneral Pope'scounse'lors. They ac r cept military bills. They are popu lar at Gen. Pope's headquarters. 1 They will serve out the "full term of i six muonths," wlhich the general pre .scribes, to be relieved of tile disabili - tics I Jndoed they will, and be on good behavior too. They are smart. - They have completely turned poor i General Pope round and put his face .where his back ought to be,and caused -limn to put his coat oni with the down W! t They have made Geeraf Pope recoin ' miend, my inme, three men01 for' banish -ment, becauhse they oppose5 the miil itai -ry hills, whom these v'ery counlsellors a and radicals desired to ban ish or mobh, ci in 1860, because they opposed seces t Ision. Alas i how I knew them, anid - how well they know poor Gen. Pope I , Some of thoese~ ibanidoned the Confed 1 cacy very soon-as they failed to get - oniic~i or contracts--now call them ~, selves original IUion men, and a few - of them hiavo actually taken tihe test a oath, Others held on to secession as r long as was safe and profitable. Of ,course, now, to av'oidl confiscation and 7 distranchisement, they are for recon >str'uctioni, and swear at every cornr "The Radicals can (10 as tie p1lease 3 -the Constitution is dead, and the - Presidcnt,is nlobody." .. Under this htead it pains 111 to have - to include some1 really original mlen, ;who, failing to be recognized by th e t people anty the only fit persons to have a office after the surrender, became sour ed, and, with a desperato petulence, i abandoned the conservative prinei ', p los of their lives and rushed into y Radicalism. ,3. TIitnid Men. -We have among uis 1 some good meaning men. They want 1 peace. So, Heaven knows, do all oi - na I Peace I I~t is a sweet word I Some of our peoplo so long for pencil I that they will even, run after anybody who cries peace,- hkc hungry sheep after s the, man01 wiro shakes it bundle of fodder, - never thinking, poor creatures, they are t to be led "to a slaughtor-house I So, a some are alarmed with the idea of con-. I iscation and further disfranichisenent. a "We must take the best we can get," -say th~ye "It is nlo use talking about a the Constituntion.. The Rad~cals care too mean ito regard that. .They' don's -a care. for ~'their oaths. They don't care f .for t.-Union. They don't yiind John e ion.

Sich are the arganiaaents we hIoeat overy day in fatvor of die military bills I have lwaad of an Hvy reonsmla why difa't.r.lt parties shouald be slpporte'd ; bait I ladIical party Canl ltonopolize this one. urgedrl byy its own slIporters It disregards the Conast it uion, rampl-a OH oaths, robs the peoplo, and will d-, worset Ihings, if it is nut kept in pow er ! 4. Policy men.--Theso are of vaai ois kind.. Someio s:ay it is policy to givo suffrage to tie neagroes, because IN. 8outhern whites can conarol tOir votes and dIsappoinat tle Radicals. %Solllv Say they can sel) to go with thc Radicals tily e e ito thelo 10 Union, t,10n we can do as we please. Others Par, by aceptlAg the military bill,", we canl got. oconlatrol 0f the Convention wit h the right a. kind of men, nadl forila Counst itu to sil Ith al.ials, we canl afterwuirds change it agailn. All these policy men Feel insull ed if yo ecall them n alicals. They excitedly Swear they aire not I:alicals--:hiy are only going to trick the tailicals. They are going to teat t.e lteadicals at thorr own game of de cepton. They also insist that the"Conl stitution is a ghost"-the govornment, gone -the R:aheni party is the only ex. is)ig governmantn?, and we can do 0o) more to destroy it by feling it, than by lightI inlg i t. They freq mly whisper, in confi Oene, "Tlhl s. maibiaarv nla.t, froma Grnt lown, know noiut hingt :ntit. law or1 (ia). sttut-iona.
