To-morrow moilidget National Intelligeneer
will contain the following letter:
To the Edllor of tie frdeUtpeneer:—ln your is
sue of this mooring you have spoken of my
presence In Washington, and of my views of the
political situation In terms which seem to re
quire of ma a few explanatory remarks. I here
with submit them:
I desire and labor for peace—peace between
our ecomtry and all others—peace between the
North and South—peace between whites and
blacks. We have had enough of war and waste
of treasure and carnage for at least a century.
Hence, I have long-labored, and CU labor, for a
true and luting peace, I can conceive no poi
&ibis good to our country, to any country, to
any section, race or class, that is likely to be
stump or promOted by alienation between the
President and the Congress of the United States,
on the contrary; , every peril that nOw
threatens an, every evil that now weighs upon
us, would be aggiavated, every Rend put at
hazard, every hope clouded, if not blasted, by
finch a malign untoward collision. I have
come here to do whatever I eau, however little
that may be, towardaverthweack a catastrophe
but I am not, as your-paragraph would seem to
Imply that I am, the advocate or any especial
gala of te.etmiumttion. I urge only that the
President and Congress, each respecting the
other's conetltntlooal prurogatlvea and person
al convictions, shall-freely and trustfully con
fer,:diemtas and :moulder, with eprolonnd defer
ence for each other's patriotism and an earnest
desire to agree on a course oflactlon which they
shall mutually deem Just and bet:decent.
Let the great problem of reconstructlon-be ap
proached from all elder In this spirit, and I feel
euro that a benign solution will bo speedily ob
tained. Our difficulties are aggravated by the
fact that our position is essentially novel. I
can recall no parallel to It la human history. It
la complicated litquestioas affectleg the natu
ral rights of the freedmen, and our moral 'obli
gations to them moue humble anted; la the late
momentous struggle.
That we may promptly re-establish the South
ern-States, in all their original rights and Sher
ties, without satuifteleg or haeardlatt those of
any porltim of the American people, Is the wa

nothing that can prevent either noise fromla..
