LETTER FROM JACOB THOMPSON
To the Zbior of the V. Tribune :
SIR: When hostilities between the North

especially prior to that time: I entertained,
1 coufeee, deep and.. strung prejudices
against you and your paper, ou account of
your violent attacks upon Southetn interests
end ivatitutions. But since that time, I
have really sought the Trtbutie to learn the
truth. There is a frank and manly direct
ness in your eultunns which I admire, and
therefore .1 now wake an appetri to your
generosity to admit this communication in
to. the columns of the 7'ctlttine. Surely,
there eau be no Mager any rettsen why
Northern papers 6 huuld desire to stain and
stab the reputation of 'Southern then ; and I
suppotto the press will be muzzled no longer
and a difference of opinion uo lonier be
regarded :so Irctmou.
The search of a good ma is for truth.
To set (but before the people of the United
Stated is the work in ehich I ask your as
eistonce and that of ail who hate unjust
persecution,
1 laved 'been attacked often in Northern
Jeuruais within the list 4 years, but here
tofore have attempted no reply. Tu defer
longer, however, if the avenues to the public)
ear aro opened to me, would argue a don
tembt fur public sentiment on my part
whiatl do not feel, and silence might be
construed into an admission of the justness
of the attacks.
fm.tt semnicr, when my nom, woo unne
cessarily draw into a correspnnuence ho
tween yourself and some of my friends at
Niagara Falls, the New V.oli Times began a
regular charge upon toe fur “thieving" while
Secretary of the Interior, using the epithet
•'Mr. Buchanan's thieving Secretary," and
others of the same purport. The Herald
afterward indulged in 'he saino kind of
expressions. Mint was the transaction ly
which these expretiehum are sought to be
justified!
A Mr. Busse!, a large government con
tractor, holding certain oidetices of cltht
from the War Department induced a clerk
of tho Interior Department, who teal the
custodiau of the bonds held by the govern
unnt In trust for the Indians, to exchange
the bonds fur those securities, with the
promise ondhe part of Russell to return the
bonds witoin a given time, and thus avoid
all exposure. The transaction became
known to me, as the head of the tlepaitnieut,
by the voluntary confession of the clerk.
Immediately, I deuouuoed and exposed the
whole arrangement, disinisS'ed the clerk,
had him delivered into the custody of the.
officers of the law, and wrote to the Speaker
of the House of Representatives a message
uskiug fur at investigatien into the whole
affair. This was ordered. 1 I - made the stig
geStloll that the committee should consist
entirely oi• my political opponent', /41141
adopted, with only one exception. Before
the committee reported Mississippi had
seceded from the Union; I had resigned
my neat in the Cabinet ; the prejudices
against 'Southern men were growing over
whelmingly strong; and there was„,an evi.
dent. willingness on the pare-of the com
mittee to God out and show any complicity
of mine in the transaction complained
Yet they npanimonsly reported ' there watt
evidence of no such thing. You dill me the
}Vice, in reply to the article of the Times,
to as there was no proof of corruption or
complicity on my part, and foi this simple
act of fair dealing, I thank you. I refer
Mr. Raymond to Mr. Stanton, at present
Secretary of War, then Attorney General,
for full and accurate information about this
whole affair. And, as a gentleman, I call
upon him to do me the simplest act of jus
tice, to right the wrong so far as a true
semi can, b e y withdrawing the unjust epi-_

An editorial appeared In the New York
Herald, evido4y suggested by General Dix
in which the impression is sought to bo
made that I was in some way connc,Wed
with the hotel-burning in New York. This
seems to bo au Inference from the fact
that a Mr. Illcllouaki was arrested, and held
in dread of hie life for some time, because
of hie supposed participation lu this attempt
at Incendiatlem. The detectives find out
that this lib:Monett' 'has a brother in Toron
to, t. W., who is greatly devoted to him,
to whom they make an appeal to save hi s
brother'slifie, and point out to him how it
may be done, and that Vas to appeal to the
genextealty.and magnanimity of those who
were engaßO in it to exonerate the prisoner
as they hati . jao",denbt it was true he bad
taken no part in the , affair. The brother,
under the guidande of his feeling., bit at ,
the halt, hu;ked up and induced the

of W. L. McDonald's feelings might induce
him to:act unwisely with their Stiitament,
and having full confidence in my discretion
'and friendliness, directed him to place it In
my hand, to be used•when I might deem it
necessary to save the prisoner's life. I did
not !ib the young men on ihe subject. Af
terward, the detectives induced the differ
entfemido members of the family to make
the meat pi gnus appeals to me for the pa

each messenger reverted that general Dix

this negative testimony, thus playing upon
the feelings of thie most: estimable family.
When I saw:the game that was played, I

saying I was willing to certify that I had a
paper signed by tome of the parties clip

Finding they could not LUOVO me, they turn

because Le knew it was false. But you ee
the extent of my connection. It assumes
this proportion, no more.
But of all the astonishing things which
have happhned daring his war beta edit the
States, the late proclamation of the Presi
dent is the most unreasonable and - unjust.
It seems there has been ;rented a new
bureau called "the Bureau of Military Jus
tice." In that, it seems there is evidence
that the assassinatiott uf the late President
was "incited, concerted and procured liy
and between Jefferson Davis, at Richmond,
Va.," find myself Mid others in Canada, and
that myself and others are rebels and trai
tors "hittbdred in Canada." When this
proclamation readied nie, I was in New
Brunswick on my way home. This is a
novel mode of banishment. Now, Sir, mark
how a direct statement will meet every
point made by the evidence in "the Bureau
of Military Justice" and put Co open shame
so solemn an act its a proclamation: I aver
upon honor that I have never known, or
conversed,' or held communication, either
directly or indirectly, with Booth, the
assassin of the Prnitleut, el. With any one
of his assoctales, 80 far ELS I have Scott them
named. I know nothing of their planq. I
defy the evidence in the Bureau of Military
Jurtice. - The proof, whatever it is, is a
tissue of falsehoods,and its publication can
not be made without exposing its utter rot•
fellness.
I kuory there is not half the ground to
suspect mu thutthere to to suspect President.
Johnson himself.
First. There was an absence of all motive
on toy part. To have removed Lincoln al
the time it was done, was nmst iinfortunate
both for me and for Ilreßeople of the South.
This I have believed. and have often so ex
pressed myself. Preaident Johnson was to
acquire a thizsling power in the event of
Lincoln's death.
Second. A paper is found in President
Johnson's' room, alter the assassination,
signed by the assassin himself, to the effect
that be (Booth) does not wish to trouble Lim
(Johnson), bra wants to know it lie
son) II in. Now, consider, thirnote is from
aNrivate citit.en to a high oflicial,Auil it is
certain anti if it had been bent by any oth
er matt, at any other time, to any other offi
cial eseep► The one most deeply interested
in the event !theta to happen, it would-Lave
implied previous intimacy and intercourse,
and a wish to have au interview without
witnesses, which the writer expectedcif
cumst RIICCB admitted of.
. .
Third. President Jettison goes to bed on
the night of the assassination, at the Unu
sual hour for Washington of uitro o'clock,
and is asleep, of course, when an anxious
gentleman leaves the side of tho dying Pres
ident to inform the new incumbent of his
great good fortune, which filled him with
unutterable distress. ;
. . . . .
Now, mark me, 1 do not say that all this
creates a suspicion in my mind of thiicom
plicity of President Johnson in the foul
work upon President Lincoln. But this I
do say, Ott if such circumstances could .be
so well taken against the lion. B. O. Harris
of Maryland, Ben. Wood of New York, or
Mr. Vallandighant of Ohio, they would have
been received in the Bureau of Military
JUSHOO as testimony as strong 'as proofs
from Holy Writ. These forts may possibly
suggest to President Johnson and. those
Who owe their official position and personal
consequence to tho breath of his mishits, a
good and sufficient season why the excited
publia mind of the people of the United
States, which has bean lashed into fury by
well concerted manipulations, and now de
mands a victim, should believe that there
was evidence in the "Bureau of Military
Justice" to convict Southern m6b—"rebels
and traitors"—of having " incited, concert
ed and procured" the assitssination of Pres
ident Lincoln. But, at all events, these
facts ought to teach President Johnson a
lesson of moiloration and charily ta all

by Jefferson and Madison, who had become
the great apoStles of the rirty. uy them,
tee learn that the Comfit uition of the United
States is acompact between sovereign States,
each State acting for itself, and as an, inte
gral party. The powers,granted were mere
ly delegated powers, to be exercised by a
common- agency for the common welfare.
To avoid future misunderstanding, threat'
the Staten, iu their oracles of ratification,
expressly reserved the right to resume the
powers delegated whenever they be4eved
they were not used fur their advantage. On
the subject of treason, the Coiled States
could deelare no not treason except the ma
king war upott - the (Jutted States, and the
giving (Lid and comfort to the enemy. Each
State, however, being sovereign and having
a larger scope of - powers, could declare al-
Most any act treason; a refusal to bear
arms in her defense, to return home whets
required to do so, to bring into the common
treasury any proportion of the property re
quired by each citizen. We were both
North Carolinians. When she refused to
ratify the 'Federal Constitution, we remain
eeNorth Carolinians, owed oar allegiance
to the State, and were bound to obey her
orders. By her act of ratification after
ward she made us citizens of the United
States. In consequence of her act and in
obedience to her order, we both were bound
to obey the constitutional laws nod regula
tions of the United States, and if either of
us had been guilty of resisting the law with
an armed force, we would have been guilty
of treason, because we acted as individuals
on our own responsibility and by our own
inert) motion, and the laws of the Ended
States operated directly on individuals and
individuals only, But, on the coatfary,til
North Carolina, acting its her sovereign ca
pacity, resumed het delegated powers for
any cause, awl then ordered us to take up
arms in her defense, obedience to her ofder
might be construed possibly as war upon
the United Staten, but we would not be guil
ty of treason ffs individualslmeause we .
would have had no volition. Our net would
be the act of the Eitel° ; and if there was
any guilt, the State would be guilty of trea
son, and that is a manifest absurdity, as
there IS no legal mode of punishing "R
State.
And have our institutions been so miserably
constructed as to place the citizen to a post-
Clot which forties hint to be guilty of the
highest. cr.ree known to the law, without
any volition of his own, when obedience to
the orders of one_government_makes him
of reanon to another?
When Mississippi seceded, I felt it to be
my duty to leave the sorvlco of Elio United
States, return home, and subject myself to
Eho orilas of my Stale ; for •the sacred
cause of State Rights and State Sovereign
ty, the doctrine of my fathers, Lwas willing
to stake my life,.my fortune, and all my

duty when Tennessee seceded, to hold on fo
his pines, to set at naught the action of his
State, which had so often honored him, and
to place biaiself under the protection of the
United States. Ho took sides with power;
I look sides with the weakness. Our mo

I olaim to have been honest, sOlf- i savilicing,
and patriotic in tho course I purstia, and I
leave to posterity to decide whether power
has been given on earth to !Ake wrong

principle, although' it may revolutionize a
government.
I cannot but think this proclamation was
not intended for me, but it was to furnish
an excuse to deal •harshly' with President
Jefferson Davis, if arrested. A purer pa
triot, a more conscientious Qhrkstian, and a
more honorable gentleman than be never
lived in any ago or country. All ho has
done has been in obedience to the behest of

We have no sympathy with the notion that
a poor man sho Id hitch himself to a post
and stand still, while the rest of the world
moves forward. It is no man's duty to de
ny himself every recreation,. every amuse
ment, every comfort, that he may get doh.,
It is no man's duty to make an iceber n i
himself, to shut his eyes and oars to th
sufferings of his fellows, and to deny him
self. the enJoyme'ht that resultsirom gener
ous actions, merely thnt be may hoard
wealth for his heirs to quarrtli about. But
there in en coma) , which is every man's
duty, which is especially oommendsble in
the man who struggle's with poverty—an
,economy which •is consisteut with- happi
ness, and which must. be praziticed if the
poor man would bemire independence. It ls
almost every mans privilege, and it be•
comes his duty to live within hie means;
not te, hut within them. Wealth does not
make the man, we admit, and should never
be taken into the oceenut in pur Judgment
of men ; but competence should always ho
secured, when it can be, by the prudoe of
economy and self denial only to a tolerable
extent. It should be secured, not so Sleuth
for ethers to look upon, or to raise us in the
estimation of others, as to secure the con
sciousness of independence, and the con
stant satisfaction which is derived from Its
acquirement and possessfon.. •
RATH RR an amusing incident 'occurred in
a neighboring county a few days since du
ring tht march of a column of United States
troops, The negroes collected on every
farm to witness-the passage of tbe soldiers,
and in nttny instances greeted them with
evident marks of pleasoteli • 'Sitting upon n

sharp little darkey just entering hi . s teens,

attuning to a younger sister, he imparted
his newly obtained intelligence, uyattg :

And spying a cat lasily stretching her

by scresming,uut : "And yoti:a free, pussy;
