I have this moment read with amazement an editorial in your paper of the 30th nit,. in`which you as;: sume that lam favoring . the immediate" withdrawal of the remaining States of the Confederacy; as a peace measure, to avert the horrors of civil war, and with the view of a reconstruction on a constitution al basis.. • I. imploreiyou, by 'all those...kind rein- Lions which,have so long existed between Os, and which I strcherath with. so much pleasure and gratitude, to do Me the jus tice promptirto , correct - the unaccountn! ble error into' which you have been led.—• In regard to secession, whether viewed as a governmental theory or. as a matter apolitical expediency. f never have had but one opinion, nor uttered but one lan , finvre—that of unqualified Opposition.. - Nothing 'can be so fatal to the peace of country, so destructive of 'the honor and of all hopes of reconstruction, as the•Se , cession of Tennessee and the border States • under existing circumstances. You must reniember that there are ills, • unionists among-the party leaders at the North as well as the South—men whose hostility to slavery is stronger than their, 'fidelity to the Constitution, and who be: Hove that 'the disruption of the Union would.draw after it, as an inevitable' con sequence, civil war, servile insurrection, and finally the Inter extermination of slavery in all. the Southern States. They are bold, daring, detertnined• men ; and - believing,. as they do, that the Censtitti tion of the United States is the great bul wark of slavery on this continent, and that • the disruption of. the American Union in volves the inevitable defAritetion f slave ry, and is - art indispensable necessity to the attainment of that end, they, are deter minato accomplish their paramount oli ject by any means within their power. Foe these reasons the Northern disunion ists, like the disunionists of the South, are violently opposed to • all, compromises on constitutional amendinents, or efibrts at conciliation, -whereby pace could •be re stored; and the Union. preserved. • They are striving to break :up the 'Un ion under pretence Of unbounded devotion to it. They ~are struggling to overthrow the Constitution while professing undy ! ing'fittachnientsto it, and a willingness to make any sacrifice to maintain it. They are trying to plunge the country into civil .wad, as the surest means of destroying the Union, upon the plan of enforcing the laws and protecting , the public property. if they can defeat any kind of adjustment or compromise, by which the points at issue may be satisfactorily settled, andlecp up the irritation so as to induce the Border States to follow the' Cotton States, they will feel certain of the accomplishment of • their ultimate designs..- Nothing will gpitify:them so' nimh or contribute so 'completely :mil effectu ally to their snecess, , as, the secession.of Tennessee amid the border States. Every State that withdraws from the Union in creases the relative power of Northern Abolitionists to:defeat a satistlictory ad justment, and' to,--bring on-war, which, kobner orlater, must end in final- separa tion, and recognition of..the independence of the two contendin , * z . sections: It, on the. i contrary, Tonnessee,North Carolina, and !the border States ; . will remain in the and will unite-with the conservative and Union-loving men of all parties in the North, in the adoption ,of such. a comprit mise as Will be alike' honorable, safe and. just to the,people- of all the States, peace and fraternal feeling will .soon return; and. the cotton States-come brick. and the Un- I ion be rendered perpetual, ' ' •, Pardon the repetition for it cannot be't 00 Istrongly urged upon all Ivixo love, ottr coun t try, that see.ession and 'war Will be de. Lstructive not only= of the. present Union, but will blast all hope :of reconstruction upon constitutional basis. I trust you will do me, the justice to publish this note in your next issue. ' I am, very trtfly, your friend. S. A.- DOUGLAS Asdrunn Rust:noon Fxrtonmi.—The black republican journals have formonths, past resorted to the manufacture of.. all species of thlse stateinents relative to oc currences at the South, with I view to prejudice the Imblie mind and .keep alive . excitement. A fetv days since the Pat terzon N. J. Guardian, a 'notorious aboli tion organ, published a highly colored mid' circumstantial account of the murder in. Charleston, S. C. of two young men ,'be longing fo Paterson,natne,d.Andreiv Ack erman and David BaVthojf,•on Account of their expressing sentiments oppoied to secession. The story naturally. excited much indignation where; the.young men were known ; but not Withstanding all its minuteness it •proves to be wholly .false. Messsrs. Stephen IL Bartholf and John Ackermap, fathers of the young men re ferred to, have published a card denoun cing Ihe story as a fabrication. Andrew _Ackerman was at Ramarro, S. C., alive and well a week after the alleged date of his murder; and Bartholf was at Cave Spring, Floyd counts - , Ga., having‘never been in Charleston. It is by forgeries like this that republicanism is seeking to keep the. publi c Mind at the. North excited against. the South.. With them forgery and mis representation is a el - lief *staple; and the. ' , wickedness of the purpose is shown in the fact that no misrepresentation, however gross, and no calumny, however absurd, is ever recalled. Both are left to run their 'race, tuid their rabic is estimated by the 7 force and Potency of their poison.
