Tefer from a Citizen of Philadelphia to
r Citizen of Atlanta.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec 13, 1860. i
Q 11. Esq., Atlanta, Ga :
PEAR SIR —Your esteemed favor of the Ist
in?;, did nut reaoh me until yesterday. You |
f imply reiterate your former convictions that
Carolina would certainly secede, and
a-ain dtsire me to write you my views. You
( iv that the secession of oue of the States of j
tlia Union is folly determined upon, and that |
there is a strung probability that four or live j
K1 re will promptly follow, and you fear that j
the bones of neighborhood, of poace, and of j
cuinnieroe are in danger of being broken; that !
in place of a grand nationality the States, cit
ies and local districts of the country are in
danger of being severed into a multitude of
petty, isolated, incoherent and hostile corn- j
munitie3. _ j
The unity of government thus threatened is
spoken of in the Farewell Address as ' the
main pillar in the edifice of our independence
—the support of our tranquility at home, our
peace abroad, of cur safety, of our prosper)
tv, and of that very liberty which we so high
ly prize." We believe all this in all the fiul
ness of its meaning; we reverence the author
ity whence we have the statement: nothing
ghort of inspiration could strengthen our
faith in it; it has all the force of necessary
truth; it is ft habit, an instinct of the Ameri
can mind. We accept also, with the same re
liance, the further statement of the Father of
his country, that "to the efficacy and perman
ency of our Union a government for the Whole
is indispensable. No alliance, h >wever strict,
between the parts can be an adequate substi
lute ; thev must inevitably experience the in
fractions aud interruptions which all alliances
in all time have experienced."
There is no doubt, as you say, an intense
finding in some, if not nil the cotton stales,
and a separation resolutely determined upon,
which may involve ail the consequences cf a
general dissolution of the States, and must,
while the alienation continues, disturb and
distress ail portions of the Union. But be
fore we receive as reality ai! the evils which
reasoning deduces front such partial or total
dissolution of the present confederacy, it is
worth whila to calmly reflect and to look at
the improbabilities and impraoticabilitcs
which hang over the threatenings of such a
cat.-s'roiihe.
in first t'lace, r- litical institutions are
: \ mere m tfte •• f caprice or choice. A
• iividnal, s curing himself from all
.... ot es and negb cringallcotisequences.can
.1 • r.e he pleases, for if the risk of ruin does
r. • re- train, there is nothing in the system of
tl.ongs to govern or control him. But it is
r. tso with a stale or nation. South Carol")
n i for instance, might resolve upon a rigid
non-intercourse with uii the states and nations
whose sentiioents are inimical to her slave
>ytem; or Massachusetts might determine to
use no slave-grown sugar, tobacco, or cotton;
yet neither of them could possibly maintain
thtir resolution for any lengthened period.
Twice within our memory France has over
turned her monarchy, and set up a republic ;
but she could not hold her purpose against
thecondi 1 ions in which she found herself.
All history teaches that circumstances, at
their best, arc only the free and intelligent
artificers of a work which i not their own.
Never vet did a statesman intent upon revo
lution know what would be the result of his
labor. The Cromwellian Parliament never
dreamed that their republic would itself bring
about the restoration of the Stuarts. The fa
thers of our Constitution did not foresee that
the territorial question would shiver the Un
ion. or thai ih' compromises would not pre
serve the equality of the slave and free States.
WASHINGTON held the obligations of the
federal Constitution just us soured as the
Constitution and laws of the several states.
He looked upon nullification and secession
just as he did upon felony and treason. "The
Constitution," he aid, "till changed by an
explicit and authentic act of the whole people,
is a sacred obligation upon all." He did not
imagine that he was only the head clerk of a
partnership to be dissolved by either of the
parties as freely as it was formed. lie saw
no difference between the allegiance due to a
state and that due to the National Union.
" fhe very idea of the power, and the right
of the people to establish government," he
says, "presupposes the duty of every individ
ual to obey the established government."
The old thirteen states, before the Lonsti
tution was adopted, were not less jealous or
untriendly to each other than they are
now, though tbey had not been every day of
their existence in a violent ill temper with
each other, if passion, temporary interest
and policy severed us, we would never have
had the old confederacy or the present Con
stitution. In 1820 a compromise of the ter
ritorial question saved the Union, at the very
brink ot dissolution. In 1832, nullification,
with the substance of secession in it, was first
delayed by the exertion of tbe federal force,
and afterwards quieted by a compromise
which left the victory with the refractory par
ty. South Carolina was at that tipie strongly
sustained by Georgia, Virginia and Alabama.
The possession of the government during the
forty years that these discontents Jinve been fes \
'•eriny, ts the only thing that prevented even j
snore serious manifestations of the spirit of se- ;
cession. Through till this period the extrcin- j
i"ls have been held in the Union only by j
those forces and influences, which were not ;
tnen, are not iosr, and never will be, subject '
to their discretion. j
the laws which we make we can alter—the
compacts which we frame we can abolish— i
those which nature and tho order of hu- j
man society imposes are not repealablc. Ile
lutious ot business, association nnd national
politics, without our will, or against it, eopa- <
** 9 u it9 as close a Union of the states as the j
Constitution provides for: it is, in fact, but
little more than a permanent treaty of amity
and commerce, with a system vi Ministers
whom we call Presidents, Judges and Con
gressmen. No possible separate indepen
dence of the sta'es could subsist with a nits e
simple system ot interstate connections. —
Break them to pieces,, thev must of necessity
reunite in effect if not in form. The age
compels it. Civilization demands It. Get
many has her Diet, and all the European gov
ernments hold their Conventional Congresses
almost as frequently as our constitutional
one. By their Tery wars they are fighting
themselves into national unity. We may and
will quarrel over our differences, for it is our
habit, as well as our nature, to be constantly
intermeddling with each other's affairs, but
to permanently divide we cannot. The worst
quarrel that we can get up will bring about
the best and most permanent adjustment, and
this is why I before have said you must not
stop secession yet. To do so note mm Id be a
precedent against the government both at home
and abroad.
Let South Carolina, and such uf the Gulf
states as threaten to eland by her. begin the
work of a separate government. Such aeon
federacy must provide an army, a navy, a
postal service, and all the apparatus of ana
tion. To raise the means, she must either
tax imports so high that our smugglers along
the border will disappoint them of a revenue,
or her direct taxes must be laid on so severe
ly that every man will know within a year
how little the old Uuion oppressed them, even
when they thought "they were giviug forty
bales of cotton out of every hundred to sup
port the Northern manufacturers." Their
territorial expansion will be at once arrested,
for their system repels alike European and
Northern immigration, and emigration from
their own territory will go on as it never Lad
done, for the same and greater inducements
remain to tempt, an I they will have added a
projectile force to them which will occasion
an exodus of terriblcjmagnituda. Cuba will
be out of her reach either by conquest or
purchase, and Mexico will La delivered of
her objection to protectorate or a union wit!)
the free States, whos policy and interest have
not threatened or iijured her. The seced
ing States know mtv, and they know still
better when they lave tried their injepen
j denco a little while, tiat their past union with
i the north and west were not all burden and
grievance; that it ha/been worth something
1 to them in their forego affairs to be integral
j parts of a great nationality, and they will
i iearn that a great iorporation bears its ex
panses and enjoys its benefits better than a
j little one. But whet is most to the purpose,
theyvriil have time V foresee a!! this and un
1 derstand it before tley are done constructing
their Southern Confederacy. A people who
cannot live in suchla Union as ours, are the
last people to form one for themselves ; and
to enlighten then) {gain i say, let them se
cede. They will uscover that our govern
ment is a far wiser And better one than they
in their egotism ami vanity found themselves
capable of construing. The prodigal son
received his portion irul left his father's house,
but only to return ij sorrow to again partake
of his father's blciings and bounty. It is
not northern nor the election of
Mr. Lincoln, but timely ' sentiment he
represents that yoqresict.' Truly analyzed
and stated, is it not/the census which most of
all disturbs you ? And what sort of remedy
for the populationsof the free States will so
cession be? The piarantee of tho Constitu
tion and laws of he Union as they exist, or
of such amendments as you might ask, cr
which might be grtnted, is surely a better so
curity for your peculiar interest than inde
penJence anH juworauee f<\n afford you. \ >tt
will see all this in good time, and you will
see, also, that you are only in reality seceding
from the benefits of the Union, without secur
ing any compensating advantage.
The record shows that the Union has nev
er refused the South a war, a purchase ofter
ritorv, or any law for their protection, which
they asked ; rer have the people once refus
ed you a Prejdent until now that you could
not agree amng yourselves upon a candidate
any better tian vou could consent to accept
one at our ha ds. Nay more, the President
himself inferos us ;
'• It is a ipmarkable fact in our history,
that, notwithstanding the repeated efforts of
the anti slavtfy party, no single act has ever
passed Congress, unless we may possibly ex
cept the Miscuri Compromise, impairing, in
the slighter degree, the rights of tho South
to their property in slaves. And it may also
be observed. Edging from present indications,
that no probability ex sts of the passage of
such an act by a majority of Congress.—
Surely, undcf these circumstances, we ought
to be' restrained from present action by the
precept of liin who spak as never man
spake, that ' sufficient unto the day is the
evil thereof The day of evil may never
come, un'eifi we shall rashly bring it upon
ourselves."
In conclusion, permit ine to remind you of
the laogoafe used by a distinguished states
man in thj French provisional council:
' That is rot practicable which is not even
( presentable' We shall have difljcqlty and
I suffering. aid much to be repented of, but no
! dissolution. The thicker tho troubles are
mixed up, tbe sooner and safer it will settle,
j The eliuiati ami the jarring institutions of
the nation "nn east and west, byt our moun
tains, our valleys and our rivers run across
t'.iem from porth to south, and these cross
ties will hJd the sections together, for sec
j tionalism ctnnot in the end overrule physical
! geography, commercial necessity, love of
country, and Christianity in the last half of
the ninoteeDth century. No! but when par
ty strife shail have ended, and reason again
assumed HSR WOCU tho ultraism of the
i north and of the south shall again give way
• to cooler arguments—as give way it niU3t —
i oar Union and our government will still be
found, as they now stand, and as God in
his good pmvidence designed they should
stand, alike a beacon light to tfy.e faithful and
, a mocking rebuke to the ambition and fool
ishness of desperate demagogues.
But I must not forget to answer the lead
ing question you put to me. 'will Pennsyl
vania repeal her personal liberty bills, which
are plain and palpable violations of the Con
stitution?' No I not at present; and why ?
Because we no not find if apywbeye gtipula
ted in the compact of States fbftt yo.u are .the
' proper tribunal to pass upon the unconstitu
iiopality of our statutes, and, besides, in £his
decision, as in many of our grievances, you
may be laboring under a mistake. But, as
an act of justice to ouiselves, we one and ail
propose that these laws shall be promptly ad
judicated. provided you give us bonds that
you will remain with us in peace and har
mony. If they thus fall, then they ehoulJ
fail. On any other adjustment it weald fce
hire and bribery, a howdy for rebellion.
I have written thus much while many of
our citizens are engaged in the laudable ef
fort of saving the Union by a Union meeting,
and, although I formerly stated—not in an
ger, but in 6orrow —that, ' when you shall
have provided ways and means to go in peace, ;
go; and. for the reasons herein stated. I re
peat. 'do not stop secession yet.' Still, f shall
nut lamentif theirargumentsand reassurances
should prove convincing messengers to each
and every one &i the belligerent and rebel
lious citizens of your State. With you, not
with us, rests the responsibility.
I remain very truly yours, J. M.

Esor.MOCs Btsixsss Ist ostt Ntw YORK MUCH AM— t
We are happy to inform our fellow-citizens that there
is one place in our city where the physician, apothe
cary, and country merchant, can go and purehr se pure
Wines and Liquors, as pure as imported, and of the
I>est quality. We >'q not intend to give an elaborate
description of this merchant's extensive bpaia'-s*. :.l
tlmugh it will repay any stranger or citizen' to yj.-it
Udtdpho Wolfe".- extensive warehouse. Nrs, 18,20anH
u2, Leaver street, and .V.s. 17, '.9 and '2l. Markettield
street, iiis smck of Schnapps on hand ready for
shipment could not have been less tlmn thirty thoß;
sand cases ; the Brandy some ten thousand cases-
Vintages of IsCti to Itv'i: and ten thousand eases of
Madeira. Sherry and Port Wine, (Scotch and Irish
whiskey. Janiae a and -St. Croix Rum. some very old
and equal to any in this country. He also had threo
large cellars, tilled with Brandy. Wine, &c.. in raskj
under the Custom House key", ready for Louling.—
Mr. Wolfe's sales of Schnapps last year amounted to
one hundred und eighty thousand dozen, and we hope
in less than two year-- he ntav be equally successful
with his Brandies and Wine;-. *
His business merits the patronage of every lover of
hia species. Private families who wish pure \i'ine|
and Liquors for ipedjcal uac should send their orders
direct tc Mr.' Woife", inltil ever,- Apothecary in the
land make up their minds to discard the poisonous
stufl" from their shelves, and replace it with Wolfe's
pure Wine and Liquors.
We 'understand Mr. Wolfe, for the accommodation
of small dealers in the country, puts up assorted cas ;
es of Wines and liquors. Such a noun, and such a
merchant- should be sustained attaiust his tens of
thousands of opponents in the United States, who
sell nothing but imitations, ruinous alike to humatj
health and happiness.
