Mr. Holmes of Maine, Member of Con

MoN - riCci,to, April 22, 1820
I thank you, dear sir, for the copy you
have been so kind to send me of the letter
to your constituents on the Missouri ques•
tion It is a pet (lel justiiication to thi m.
I had for a long time ceased to rend news
papers, or pay attention to any public af
fairs, confident they were in good hands,
and content to be a palsenger in our bark
to the shore from which I am not far distant.
But this momentous question, like a fire bell
in the night awakened and tilled me with
tenor. I considcivil it. atoncethe knell of the
Union. It is hushed, indeed for the ma
tuent--t- hut Ode- t reprieveettly, -not-a ' •
sentence. A geographical line coinciding
with a marked principle, moral and political,
once conceived and held up to the angry
passions of men, will never by obliterated;
and every new writs.' ion will mark it deeper
and deeper. I can say, with conscious truth
that there is no man on earth who would sac •
rallice more than I would to retore us Iron
this }navy reproach, in any practicable wny
Of one thiag f am certain, that as the pas
sage of the Waves from one State to another
would not make a slave of a human heir•fl,' ,
who would sot be so without it, so their dif
fusion over a greater surface would make
them individually happier, and proportion
ally facilitate the accomplishmeot of their
emancipation, by dividing the but then on a
greater windier of coadjutors.
An alastmence, too, from thi, act of Ina % -
er, nould iemove the
,jealousy excrte,l I.y,
the undertaking of Congress to regulate tic
ttondition of tho ditfeaent &script:one of
men composing a State. This certainly is
an exclaim e right of the State, which noth
ing in the Constitution has taken from them,
and given to the General (alorernment.—
Could Congress, for example, say, that the
non-freemen of Connecticut shall be freemen
or that the% shall not emigrate to any other
State ?
I regret that I am not to die in the' 'belief
that the listless sacrifice of themselves h
the generation of 1776. to acquire self
government and happiness is to be thrown
away by the unwise and unworthy passions
of their sons, and that my consolation is to
be that I live not to weep over it. If they
would but passionately weigh the blessings
they will throw asNay, against an abstract
principle more likely to be affected by onion
than secession, they would pause before
they would perpetrate this dreadful set of
suicide on theniarlves,and of treason agninst
the hopes of the world. To yourself, as
the faithful advocate of the Union, I tender
the offer of my high estet m and respect.

party in attempting to do the same thing!—
It is just half a century ago when the noto

vide this Union by seizing upon New Or
leans, and erecting into a separate govern
ment, the Western and South western portion
of this country, watered'hy the Mississippi
and its tributaries, and for which an indict
ment for mason was found against him.
lie was tried before Judge Marshall, but fur
want ot full evidence, owing to the .secrecy
with which the conapira,y isms conducted,
ho was acquitted by the jury. The people,
however, believed hint guilty, and consigned
him to merited igurany and contempt, sail he
sank into abject vireteliedness—au impress
ive warning to those who listen to the stig•
gestionn of criminal' ambition ! Strange to
say, that what he and his confederates at
tempted to do clandestinely, and which was
then frowned upon by the whole Aini_rican
people, except the few who were concerned
in the conspiracy, should now be openly at
tempted lfy the Black-Republicans, and, with
hold effillintery, proclaimed by their leaders
in open day !

burnt up, and a seventh so badly that lite
is despaired of. The letter convoying the
