AN APPEAL FOR THE UNION. BY lION. HUBERT J. WALKER, Late Senator of the United States, Secretary of the Treasury, Governor of Kansas, &c,, Ac. LETTER MUST. Washington City, June 28,1862. Whilst our great rebellion attracts the attention of the world, with us it is a question of existence. Our armies, eventually, must triumph, but then re mains the difficult task of restoring, throughout the revolted States, the sspremaby of the Constitution. Wo must not only continue to maintain the just dis tinction between the loyal and disloyal, thedeiuded masses and the rebel leaders, but we must also re member, that the reign of terror has long been su preme in the South, and that thousands have been forced into apparent support of-the rebellion, by threats, by spoliation, by military force of con scription, and not a few, driven out as mendicants, by the ruin of their homes, and the loss of their means of subsistence. With the exception of South Carolina, whose nor mal oondition for more than thirty years before she struck down our flag at Sumpter, would seem to have been that of .incipient treason and revolt, no Other State really deßirod to destroy the Union. A seer# association end active armed conspiracy in the South, aided by traitor leaders, North and South, and an organised system of falsehood and misrepresentation, drove the masses, by sudden notion, violence, and terror, into this rebellion. And yet, under all these circumstances, the aggre gate popular vote of the South exhibited a large majority against Secession. Nor should wo forget that it was a Northern Pre sident, yielding to Secession leaders, in opposition to the patriots of the South, who, by the whole power of Executivo influence and patronage, at tempted to force slavery into Kansas, by the crime, heretofore without a name or an example, the i'on cpsry of A Constitution. This was the tolling of the first belt, alarming to patriots, bat the concerted signal for the grand movemont of the assassins, then conspiring the death of the Union. We should also remember, that, although a Northern President urged the Lccompton forgery upon Congress, thus mainly contributing to the downfall of the Union, yetj when the vote was taken in the fall of 1860, a majority of the popular suffrage of the South was given to those candidates for the Presidency who had denounced and opposed this measure, over the candidate, (now in the traitor army), who gave it his support. Thus, on this, as on every other occa sion, where the people of the South have not been overborne by violence and terror, they have re jected at the polls the action of the Secession leaders. But the disaster was precipitated, when the same President, rejecting the advice of; the patriotic Scott, refused to reinforce our forts, when menaced or beleaguered by traitors, and announced, in his messages, to our country and all the world, the Se cession heresy, fatal to all government, that we had no right to repel force by force, on the partof a State, seeking by armed secession, to destroy the tlnion. In other words, that we, under such cir cumstances, would he the traitors, and the South the defenders of the Constitution. It was then that the absurd political paradox was announced by the President, that a State has no right to secede, but that the Government has no right to prevent its se cession. It was this wretched dogma that para lysed our energies when they were most needed, gave immunity to treason, and invited rebellion, rendered onr stocks unsaleable, and induced thou sands, at home and abroad, to believe that the Fe deral Government was an unreal phantom, which existed in name only. ■Who does not know that if Andrew Jackson, a Southern man, had then been President, the re bellion would have been crushed by him in embryo, as it was in 1833, and all the blood and treasure, now expended, would have been saved to our coun try and mankind ? Surely, it is so'me palliation of, the course of tho deluded masses of the South that they heard such pernicious counsels, and from such a source. If, as our army advances, there hashot been an open, general return of the masses to the Union, we must recollect that when we did occupy parts of the South, and then withdrew, how soon the re surging tide of the rebellion swept over the devotod region, what scenes of horror and desolation en sued, how the homes of those who bad welcomed our flag were given to the flames, whilst death was the portion of others. But let us crush out the very embers of this rebellion, drive out to other lands the rebel leaders, give to the ruined and de luded masses ample assurance of permanent pro tection, and they will resume their allegiance to the Union. As to those brave and devoted patriots at the South, who, throughout the Secession frenzy, maintained, at the risk of life and fortune, the cause of the Union, the resolve of the Government to protect and cherish them is manifest. As a final result, we should not desire to hold the Southern States as provinces, for that would fatally exasperate, and tend to perpetuate the contest, in crease our expenses, destroy our wealth and reve nue, render our taxes intolerable, and endanger our free institutions. When the rebellion is crushed, we should seek a real pacification, the close of the war and its expenses, a cordial restoration of the Union, and return of that fraternal feeling, which marked the first half century of our wonderful pro gress, enabling us, with one-fourth of our present population, to defy the world in arms. To insure these, great resulis, the policy of tho Government must'be clear, unwavering, and marked by discriminating justice and perfect candor. The country is in imminent poril, and nothing but the truth will avail us. The North and South must understand each other. The South must know that wo realize the evidont truth that slavery caused the rebellion. Ef forts were made on other questions to shako the Union, but all hsd proved impotent in the past, as they must iu the future, until we were divided by slavery, the only issue competent to produce a great rebellion. Nor will angry denunciations - of the discordant elements of slavery and abolition now save us, for still the fact recurs, that without slavery there would have been no abolition, and, consequently, no secession. . Slavery, therefore, was tho cause, the causa- cans ant, and whilst wo should uso all vriso smi constitutional mean 3 to secure its gradual disappearance, yet we shouid act justly, remembering how, when, and under what flag slavery was foi oed upon the protesting and op posing Scutti, then feeble eolonies'of England. And yet, for nearly thirty years past, England has con stantly agitm ed this question here, with a view’ to dissolve our Union, aud has thus been mainly in strumental in sowing here tho seeds of discord, which fruotified in the rebellion. And then, when ihe tide of battle seemed ad verse, Enplai'd, giving her whole moral aid to the rebellion, demanded from us restitution and apo logy in the case of the Trent, for an aot which had received the repeated sanotion ofhor own example. Her press then teemed with atroeious falsehoodj, insulting threats, and exulting annunciations of our downfall. Her imperious demand was accompanied by fleets and armies, her cannon thundered on our coast, and sbe became the moral ally of that vary slavery whioh she had forced upon the SoHth, bat Which, for nearly thirty years past, she made the theme of fioroe denunoia'ion of our country, and constant agitation here, with one ever-present pur pose, the, destruction of this Union. And now let not England suppose that there is an American, who does not feel the insnlt,' and understand the motive. England behold, in our wonderful progress, the ocean’s scepire slipping from her grasp, our grain and cotton almost feeding and clothing the world, our ou .mooting skill and capital, our in-, ventive genius, and ever-improving machinery, our educated, inteltig-nt, untaxed labor, the marvellous increase of our revenue, tonnage, and manufactures, and our stupendous internal communications, natu ral and artificial, by land and water. The last oonßus exhibited to.ber onr numbers increasing In a ratio, making the mere addition, in the next twonty flvo years, equal to her whole population, and our wealth augmenting in a far greater pro portion. She jaw onr mines and mountains of coal atd iron (her own great element of progress.) ex ceed hers nearly a hundred fold, our hydraalia power, in a single State, greater than that of Great Britain; a single American river, with its tribiitaV lies, long enough to encircle tho globe, and that England might be anchored as an island in our in land seas. She witnessed Connecticut,-smaller than many English counties, and with but one-sixth the population of some of them, appropriating more money for eduo ition in that State than the British Parliament for the whole realm; that we had more headsat work amoDgonr laboring classes than all Europe, and Bho realized tho great truth that know ledge is power, deposing on common schools for the wlole people. She me sured our continental area, laved by two oot-aos, as also by the lakes .and the gulf, with a more genial sun, and a soil far more fer tile andproduotive than that of England, and nearly thirty times greater in extent. She saw us raise within the loyal States a volunteer army of three fourths of a million, without aoonsoript, the largest, and far the most intelligent and effective force in the world, and millions more ready, whenever called, to rush to the defence of the Union, whilst a great and gallant navy rose as if by cnohantment from the ocean. She marked the rapid transfer of the command of the bommeree of the world from London to New York. She observed ihe transcendent success of onr free institutions, and, with that “fear of change perplexing mo narchs,” she realized, the, approaching crash, of thrones and <3) nasties under the moral influence and advancing match of our republican empire. To insure cur permanent division was to destroy us. Hence, the encouraged the South, acknowledged her as a be ligerent, welcomed the rebel flag and war vessels into her ports, protected them there, enabled them to elude onr cruisers, and prepared to aid and susis/n s avery. For a time, with the ex ception of Cobden, and the immortal John Bright, we seemed 1o have had scarcely an influential friend in England. Her masses favored us, but four-fifths of them are excluded from the polls by restricted suffrage. .For a time, king cotton nevor had more loyal subjects than those who then con trolled the ptess and Government of England. Our Union was to be severed, the Southern Confederacy acknowledged, the blockade broken, free trade between the booth aud England established, cotton given her, and n fused us; we were to be forever out off from lbe Gulf and the Lower Mississippi ;. PortlandJthe Star of the East) was to become a British oity ai.d Maine, always loyal and patriotic, was to bo wrested from us and reannexed to the British crown. It. was the carnival of despots, exulting over our anticipated ruin, in onr death struggle in the groat cause of humanliberty aud human progress. And jet it was England that forced slavery upon the South agniiit-t its earnest protest, and colonial sots vetoed by the British crown. Then, during our colonial weakness and dependence, the kings and queens and parliaments of England, not only legalized f nd encouraged the African slave trade, but gave chart, ra and monopolies for the wretched , traffio. Then the lords and nobleladies, the blood royal, the merchant princes, and even the mitred ■ prelates of England, engaged most extensively in this accursed commerce, and thousands of the rich and noble of Engl uni enjoy now, by inheritance, fortunes thus accumulated. British vessels, sailing from British ports, openly displayed thoro upon their decks ihe shackles that were to bind the vic tims, thousands of whom, in the horrors of tho mid dle passage, found unshrouded in an ocean grave a happy escape from sufferings and misery indescri bable. It was to these, our then infant, feeble, and dependent, but. protesting, colonies of thß South, most of those slavt-s were forced by British avarice, and royal vetoes' on colonial acts of .the South pro hibiting the tr. file Most justly,'then, did Mr. Jef ferson, in the original of our Declaration of Inde pendence, announce the terrible truth.as follows: , “ He has waged eiuei war against human-nature itself, violating its most saored rights of life and liberty in the | eisons of a distant people who never offended him, <-np-ivatiDg and carrying them into slavery in another hemisphere, or to incur miserable deathln their trtusportation thither,. This pirati cal warfare, the opprobrium of infidel powers, is; tho warfare of the CmtESTiANKingof Great Britain. Determined to keep open a market where men should be bmp bland sold, he has prostituted his negative.fnr hi j.pirssing every legislative attempt to prohibit nr..itstrain this execrable commerce. And.ibat" this iisson binge of horrors might want no fact of dislir puithod die, he is now exciting those very people In i his in arms among us, and to pur chase that libi rt j of which he has deprived thorn; by murdering the people on whom he also obtruded them, thus paying off former crimes committed against the liberties of one people, with crimes which he urges them to commit against the lives of another.” v The flag of England was then the flag of slavery, and not of slavery enlv, but of the African slave trade and wherever slavery now exists, England may look upon it and say, This is the work of my hands; mine was the price of blood, and mine all the anguish and despair of centuries of bond age. This war, then, is mainly the work of England. She forced slavery here, and then commenced and inflamed here the anti-slavery agitation, assailing the Constitution and the Union, arresting the pro gress of manumission in the Border States, and Anally culminating in the rebellion. Here, then, In the South are slavery and rebellion, branches of that Upas tree, whose seeds were planted in our soil by England. England, then, should never have reproached us with slavery. The work was hers, and hers may yet be the dread retribution of avenging justice. Had the contest she provoked in the Trent affair then happened, the result might have been very different from her expectations. Instead of a ruined country, and divided Union, and God save« the King played under the cross of St. George in Boston, New York, and Philadelphia, she might have heard the music of Yankee Doodle, Hail Colombia, and the Star Spangled Banner, on the heights of Quebec, re echoed in fraternal chorus over the Union intended by God, under one government, of the valley of the lakes and the St. Lawrence. Looking nearer home, she might have behold that banner, whose stars she would have ex tinguished in blood, floating triumphantly, in union with the Shamrock, over that glorious Eme rald Isle, whose generous heart beats with love of the American Union, and whose blood, now as ever heretofore, is poured out in copious libations in its defence. Indeed, but for the forbearance of our Government, and the judgment and good sense of Lord Lyons, the conflict was inevitable. The hope wbh expressed b> me in England that "tlnse glorious isles would become the breakwater of liberty, against which the surges of European despotism would dash in vain.” This washer true policy, justice to Ire land. successive reformsin her ayetem, a further wise ex ten &ien of the suffrage, with the vote by ballot, a cordial moral alliance with her kindred race in America, and a full participation, mutually beaoflcial, In our enlarging commerce. But her oligarchy has chosen coalition with the Soutb and slavers' and war upon our Union and the republican principle. Divide and conquer is their mot to, suicide will be their epitaph. I have stated that the South must know what course we intend to pursue in regard to slavery. But not only the South, but our friends and enemies, and all the world must also know, that the Ameiuoan Union shall never he DisMKSinEn&D. It is the great citadel of self-govern ment, i ntrusted to our charge by Providence, and we will deffctd it against all assailants until our lost man has fal len. The lakes can never be separated from the Gulf, nor can Jlie Eastern from ihd Western ocean. As the Bun high advanced in the heavens, iUumes ©nr flag on the Atlantic, its first morning beams shall salute our kindred banner stars on the shoreß of the Pacific, tie present wt stern limit of-this great Bepubiio. Already the tele graphic lightning flashes intelligence from ocean to ocean, and Eoon the iron horse, starting from the Atlantic on hia continental tour, Bhall herald his own advent, on the shores of the Pacific. The lakes of tho North are united by railroads and canals with the Atlantic, the Gulf, the f Ohio, and Mississippi, and our Iron gunboats, bearing aloft in war end in peace the emblems of our country’s glory, are toon to perform their great circuit from the Potomac, the Chesapeake, the Sogquehannn. the Dela ware, and the Hudson, to the Lakes and the Mississippi. •Above all, the valley of the Mississippi was ordained by God as the residence of a united people. Over every acre of its soil must forever float the ban ner of the Union, and all its waters, as they roll on together to the Gulf, proclaim, that what 41 God has joined together, man shall never put aßunder.” No line iff latitude or longitude shall ever separata the mouth from the centre or sources of tho Mississippi. No, all* tho waters offtbe imperial liver, from their mountain springs and cbrstal fountains, shall ever , flow in com mingling currents to the Gulf, uniting evermore, in one undivided whole, the blessed homes of a free and happy people. The Ohio and Missouri, the Bod river, and the Arkansas, shall never be dissevered from the Mississippi. Pittsburg and Louisville, Cincinnati and St. Louis, shall never be separated from Now Orleans, or mark the capi tals of diisbvered and discordant Btates. That glorious free trade between all the States, (the great cause of our marvelous progress,) shall ia time, notwithstanding the present snickalfblly of England, go on in its circuit among accordant peoples throughout the globo, the precursor of that era of umversal and .unrestricted commerce whose sceptre is peace, and whoso reign the fusion and fra ternity of nations, as foretold by the holy prophets in the Scriptures of Truth. This great valley, one mighty plain, without an inter vening mountain, contains, west of the Mississippi, seven States and Territories of an area sufficient for thirteen more of the size of New York. .East of the Mississippi, it embraces all the remaining States except New Eng land, New Jersey, Delaware, South Carolina, and ■Florida. New York ia connected with the great valley by the Alleghany river; and Maryland by the Castle man’B river and the Y oughiogeny, and Alabama, North Carolina, asd Georgia by the Tennessee and its tributa ries. One-half the area of Pennsylvania and Virginia is within its limits. Michigan is united with it by the Wisconsin river, and Texas by the Bed river, whilst Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky, Wisconsin, Illinois, Ten nessee, and Mississippi, Minnesota, lowa, Missouri, Kansas, Louisiana, and Arkansas own almost exclu sively its sway. And who will dam erect the feeble barriers designed to seclude the great valley and its products from either ocean, tho lakes, or the gulf, or persuade her to hold ' these essential rights and interests by the wretched toture of the will of any seceding State 1 No line but one of blood, of military despotisms, and perpetual war, can t vor separate this great valley. The idea is sacri lege. It is the raving of a maniac. Separation is death. Disunion Is suicide. If the South presents tha issue that the Union or slavery must perish, the result is not . doubtful. The Union will still live. It is written on the fcroll of destiny, by tho finger of God, that "neither principalities nor powers” shall effect its overthrow, nor shall “ the gates of hell prevail against it.” Nor will we ever surrender the grave of Washington. • There, upon the Potomac, on whose banks he was born and died, the flag of the Union must float over his sacred f epukhi e, until the dead shall fee summoned from their gravf s hy the trump of the resurrection. Tbe‘4th of July, 1776, when our name was first in-: 'scribed upon the roil of nations, shall be forever com memorated under one flag, and as the birthday of one urdivid* dUr iou. The memorable declaration of Ameri can Independence, the Articles of Confederation, the Constitution of the United States, all subscribed upon that consecrated ground at Independence Hall, Philadel phia, shall ever murk the noble Commouwep.Uh of. Penn sylvania a« the keystone of the arch of a perpetual and uLbroken Union. - Nor shall any but the same banner be unfolded over the graves oi the patriots and'etatesmen of the devolu tion, or the battle-fields of the mighty conflict And oh l around the graves of Washington and Jack ho, and in memory of their solemn farewell appeals in favor of the Union, how could Virginia or Tennessee er have been disloyal‘i No, they Were not disloyal, but were torn, by . rebel fraud and violence, from that banner, round which they wfll ogam rejoice to rally. We must not despair of the Bepublic All is not loaf. The Union yet lives. . Its restoration approaches. Tho calm will soon follow the storm. The golden sunlight end tbo silver edging of the azure clouds will be s&on pgain in the horizon. The bow of promise will appear in the heavens, to mark tbo retiring of the bitter.waters, proclaiming, frera on high, that now, henceforth, and forever, no secoi d Secession deluge shall ever disturb the onward, united, and peaceful march of the Republic. Havitg stated the courseof England on the slavery Question and the rebellion, gladly.wouldl rest here; but, as a Northern man by parentage, birth, and education, always devoted to the Union, twice elected by Missis* fcfpi'i to tbe Benate-of the United States as the ardent opponent of nullification and secession, and, upon that very question* having announced in my first address, of January, 1833, the right of the Government by “co treionf if necessary, to suppress rebellion or secession by any Slate, tjuth and justice compel me to Bay, that we of tbe North, next to England, are responsible for tbe imroduction ©f slavery into the Seuth. Upon a much smaller scale than England, bnt, under her flag, which was then ours, and the force of colonial tradition, we followed tbe wretched example of England, and Northern vessels, sailing from Northern poita, and owned by Northern merchants, brought back to our shores from Africa their living cargoes. 1 hese slaver, in bnt small numbers, were hroughtfrom their troyical African homes to the colder North, where tbtir labor was unprofitable, but to the South, and against thtir earnest protest, forced upon them. If was not the South that engaged in the African slave trade. It w&3 net the South that brought slavery into America. No, itwasforcedupon the South, againsttheir protest, mainly by England* but partly, also, by the North. Believing, fn I do, that this war was product d by slavery, weshouid still remember by wbora tbe slaves were imported here. If, 8s I have ever believed, and distinctly averred over my own aignaiui e in my Texas letter of the 3th January, 3844, {republished in the Daily Globe of 3d February, 1844,) when a Senator from Mississippi, that slavery, by wise, just, gradual, and constitutional means, should be extinguished, it should cot be In blood, nor without co lonization, nor by sudden action, accompanied as all such action ifoufd be, by scenes of ruin, death, and deso lation. . Nor should we forget how zealously, from first to last, Virginia, Maryland, and Delaware,in framing the Fede ral Constitution, sustained by Washington, Franklin, and Hamilton, and by New York, Peunsvlvania, aud New Jersey, opposed the' continuance, for a day, of the African slave trade, and how they were overborne by the ut fortunate coalition of the Eastern States with Grmgia and the Oarolinas, legalizing the execrable tr* flic icr twenty years, and howiearfaliy the predic tli ns o! those great prophet statesmen, George Mason, of Virginia, and Luther Martin, of Maryland, have been fulfilled, that this fatil measure, by the force of its moral ii licence in favor of slavery and by tho rapid importa tion cf r. egrocs here, would menace the peace and safety of tbo Union. A s the North, next to England, was mainly responsible for forcing slavery upon the South, honor demands that the whole nation, as an act of justice, and as a measure tkatwinld greatly exalt the character of the country, eh< old bear any Io?s that may arise'from a change of sys tem by any State. Indeed, under all the circumstances, the nation cannot afford to leave all the sacrifice, and al> tbe glory of Buch an achievement, to the South only. It wilt be a grand historical fact in the progress of humanity, ant nui3t adorn Ibo annals of the nation. EspaciaUy, let ir never be said that we of the North fust aided in forcing slavery upon the South, and then, by one sudden act, extinguished it in blood and the total ruin of our coun try. Witilfrt the census and other statistics show that one-M'xth of the free blackß of tho North are supported at the public expense, (see tables of my Texas letter), and whilst tho North is closing her doors more and more every day against the further introduction of ; negroes, if thp slaveßare.to be manumitted, their number being four millions, it can only be gradually,by successive State nc lioc, aided by Congress, and colonization abroad, so as to rtmove this discordant element and ultimately leave our country, as iree aud happy homes, for the white race •oily. It is in vain to deny the prejudice in the North against the negro rece, constantly increasing as the numbers multiply, accompanied by the Biern refusal of social or 'political equality with the negro, and the serious appre hension among their working classes of the degradation cf labor-by negro association, and the reduction of wages to a few cents a day by negro competition, all tie mor strating, as a Question of interest, as well as of hu inaDity, that it is best for them, as for us, that the se paration, though necessarily gradual, must be complete and eternal. Vfhereverthe vote of the people of any; State of the North bSs been taken on this question, it ha? been uni foody for the exclusion of the free negro race. In the midst oi the excitement of the slavery question in -.Kan sas. when the Republicans acted alone upon the question oi the adoption of their celebrated Topeka Constitution, they Eubmitttd the free negro question to a distinct vote of the people, who, by an overwhelming majority, voted for thtir exclusion. The recent similar overwhelming ; vote, to the tame effect, of the people of Illinois, is another clear test of the present sentiment of the nation. That sentiment is this, that the negro, although, to be t* gaichd as a man, and treated with humanity, belongs, as they believe, to an inferior rnca, communion or asso ciation with whom is not desired by the whites. Those who regard tho slavery question as the only, or the prin cipal difficulty, are greatly mistaken.. The »«pro ques tion is far deeper. It is not slavery, as a mere political institution, that is sustained in the South, but the great er question of the intermingling and equality of races. In this aspect, it is far more a queslion of race than of slavery.- If, as among the Greeks and Romans, the white race vete enslaved here, the institution would instantly diraypear. Among ibo many millions of the population of the South, less than a tenth are slaveholders. . Why. then, is it, that the non slaveholding masses there snpport the institution 1 It is the instinct, : the sentiment, the preju dice, if you please, of race, almost universal audunal toable.lt is the fear that if the slaves of thoSnith ware nnaneijoted, the non-slaveholding whih s would be sunk down to their level. But let the non- slaveholders of the St-uih know that colonization abroad would certainly ac*. fompaty gradual emancipation, and they would sueporfc ite measure. They do not wish the Africans among them, br.fc if that must be the case, then they desire them to tetrifciu as slaves, and not to be rated tothetromi condi tion, ss freemen, to degrade labor, and reduce in* wages, fsthfcy believe. Having madenumerouß oral addresses to the people of Mississippi on this question, and discussed the whole subject in this very aspect, as Senator, in my published letter ofibe Bth of January, ISU, Ispaak advisedly oftbe sentiment of the people of-lbut State, at that time, on this subject Abolition alone touches, tlen. nitrely the surface of this question.' It lies far rti eper in tl.o antagonism of race and the law? of nature. 'Abolition then, now, aa ever heretofore, only a4?ravntes: tho evil Tho true remedy is separation and c«lonl v.aiiou abroad, of course, preceded by eradn 1 emanci pation .Under this banner, wo can. settle thN question end tftve the Union ; whereas, inucedhur and nneon cHUouti t mancipation involves the destruction of the Uiiirr, and the ruin of the'wbolo country. .Disvurous as this would be to the white race. North aid S iuth, to the blacks it would bo death by starvation or the sword, and never-ending war between the North aud ihe Colctizatlon, tben, vcluatary but eff-.ctive, is the only remedy for the terribio evil of slavery, and tho only basis of the peaceful and permanent restoration of the Union. Bhould the slaves be thus gradually manumitted and colonized, with their consent, abroad, and tho North be thereafter reproached with aiding to force slavery upon the South, we could then truly say that we had finally freely untied with the South in expanding our treasure to remove the evil. Tho offence of our forefathers would then be gloriously redeemed by the juatico and generosity of their children, and made instrumental in carrying commerce, civilization, and Christianity to the benighted regions of Africa. Nor should the colonization be con fined to Africa, but extended to "Mexico, Central, and Southern America,” as proposed in my Texas letter, and to the West Indies, or such other homes as might be preforred.by tbe negro race. I am quite sure there ia no Abolitionist who has a more sincere regard for the real welfare of this dependent race than rayed*, or who would make greater sacrifices to promote their interests. In 1838 I emancipated, by deed of girt, all my own slaves and aided in the support of several of them, to the extent of my limited means, in their ntw homes. From ray youth upwatds, at all times, and under all circumsiancer, whether residing North or South; whether in public or in private life, I have ever supported gradual emancipation, accom panied by colonization, as tho only remedy for the evil of slavery. In my letter; published at its dale, over my signature, of tho Sth of January, 1844, before referred to, being then a senator from Mississippi, I expressed the following opinions on this great question: “ Again the Question is asked, is slavery never to dis appear from the Union! This is a startling and mo mentous question, but tbe answer is easy and the proof is clear—ft will certainly disappear if Texas is re annexed to the Union , not by abolition, but in spite of all its f enzy; slowly and gradually, by diffusion, as it has thus nearly receded from several of the more north ern of tho slaveholdiug States, and as it will continue more rapidly to recede by the re-annexation of Texas, into Mexico and Central and Southern Americat Pro vidence # # * thus will open Texas as a safety-valve, into and through which slavery will slowly and gradually recede, and finally disappear into the boundless regions of Mexico, and Central and Southern America. Beyond the Del Norte slavery will not pass ; not only because it is forbidden by law, but because the colored races there preponderate in the ratio of tea.to one over the whites, and holding as they do the Govern ment and most of the offices in thbir own possession, they will never permit the enslavement of any portion of the colored race which makes and executes the laws of the country. In Bradford’s Atlas the facts are given &b fol lows: . "Mexico, area 1,690,000 square miles; population eight millions, one-sixth white, and all the rest Indians, Africans,. Mulattos, Zambos, and other colored races. Central America, area 186,000 square miles; population nearly two millions, one-sixth white, and the rest Ne groes, Zambos, and other colored rimes.- South America, area 6,500,000 square miles; population fourteen millions, one million white, four millions Indiana, and the remain der, being nine millions, blnckß and other colored races. Tbe outlet for our negro race through this vast region can never be opened but by tbe re-annexation of Texas; but, in that event, there in that extensive country, bor dering on our negro papulation, and four times greater in area than the whole Union, with a sparse population of but three to the square mile, where nine-tenths of the people are of the colored races, there upon that fertile EOil, and in that. delicious climate, so admirably adapted to the negro race, as all experience has now eleariy shown, tbe free black would find a home. There also, os4he sZaoss, in the lapseof t'me, from the density of popula tion, and ©(her causea,are emancipated, they will dis appear from Mime to time west of the Del Norte, and beyond the limits of the Union, and among a race of their own color will be diffused through this vast region, where they will not be a degraded caste* and .where as to cli mate, and social and moral condition, and all the hopes and comforts of life, they can occupy, amid equals, a position they can never : attain in any part of this Union.” ' ' ‘ This, It is true, was a slow process, but it was peace ful, progressive, and certain, especially when Texas should have been checkeied by railroads, and her system connected with that of tho South, and with Mexico., I desired then, however, to accelerate this action, by Disking it a part of the compact of Texas with the Fede ral Government, that tbe proceefia of the sales of hor public lands, exceeding two hundred millions of acres, should be devoted in aid of the colonization described in this extract The principle; however, was adopted of State action by irrevocable compact with the Federal Government, by which, provision therein wag made for abolishing slavery inaff such States north of a certain parallel of latitode,'Xembraciug a territory larger than New England,) as might be thereafter admitted by sub division of the State of Texas : The power of action on this subject, by compact of a State with the General Go vernment, was then clearly established, in perfect ac cordance with repeated previous acts of Congress then cited by me. The doctrine restsupon the elemental prin ciple of the combined authority of tee nation, and a State, acting by compact within its limits, and will be fully discussed by me before the close of these letters. It is stated in this letter of January Bth* 1844, that " beyond the Bel Norte slavery will not pass,” and this' prediction is fully lealiztd. ~ ’ Whilst I would not confine negro colonization to “ Mexico, Central and Southern America,” yet the fa cility and economy of the process there would be very great, and no objection would be interposed by the peo pieofanyof those countries. The statements of my let ter are true, that there, the «free blacks and emanci pated slaves” " would find ahome” " admirably adapted to the negro, race,” among a people “of their oum color,” and " where they will not be a degraded caste,” and “ where they can occupy, amid equals,a position they can never attain in an? part of this country .V Even where emigration, to some of the Northern States is not r yet prohibited, nor exclusion from the right of suffrage ■ ordaiued, yet the social ban is complete, not only as to marriage, bnt they hold no offices in the North, neither do they serve upon juries, nor m the militia, nor do they mingle with tho whites in society, nor in the churches, schools, or colleges. Surely, then, it is not for their bene fit that ills desired to retain them here, where, as the tables show, one-sixth of their number,in the North, are : supported at tho public expanse. It being clearly our interest and duty to adopt this' By stem of gradual emancipation by State authority, with colonization abroad, aided by Congress, and tlie expense being comparatively small, less than a few months’ cost of tlm war, it Is a signal mark of that special Providence, which has so often shielded our beloved country from imminent peril, that the President of the United States should have,recommended, and Congress should have adopted, by so large a majority, this very system* which alone can finally, justly, and wisely, settle this question, cordially reunite the North with the South, remove the cause of the war, and Bare the country. In aformerletter, published over my signature, of'the 30th September, 1856, called, like this, ‘‘Ax Appeal for the Uniox,”T said: •" I have never believed in a peaceable dissolution of the Union. # =£ No, it will be war, civil wap., of dll others the most sanguinary and,ferocious. .* .# It-will be marked * * by frowning fortresses, by opposing batteries , by gleaming sabres, by bristling bayonets, by the tramp of contend ing armies , by towns and cities sacked and pillaged, by dwellings given to the flames, and fields laid waste anddesolate . It will be . a second faU of mankind, and while we shall be performing, here ike bloody drama of a Nation's suicide, from the thrones of Europe will arise the exulting shouts of despots, and upon their gloomy banners shall be inscribed, as they believe never to be effaced, their motto. Max ts incapa ble of Self-Government.” Alluding to the subject of the present discussion, I then, also, said : " I see , too , what, in this probable crisis of my country’s destiny, itis my duly again to repeat from my Texas Utter. * - The. African . Race, gradually disappearing from our borders, passing, in part , out of our limits • to Mexico, and Central and Southern America, and tn part returning to the shores of their ancestors , there, it is hoped , to carry Christianity, civilization , and freedom, throughout the benighted regions of the sons of Bam.” My views, then, 0f3844, were thus distinctly reiterated in *1856, in favor of the gradual extinction of slavery, accompanied by colonization. < It bail continue, in subsequent numbers, the discussion of this great Question, involving the destiny of our coua* try and of mankind, demonstrating, by the census and other statistics,' the fatal effects of s'avery upon our whole country, and especially the Border States of the South, arresting their progress in wealth, population, power, and intellectual development, and showing how clearly it is not only their interest, but their duty, as pairiots, to accept the overture; of national aid, so magnanimously proffered by tbe President and Congress. If tbe Border States of tho South will adopt this policy, they can terminate the war and re-establish a cordial and fraternal Union By refusing, they will embitter and prolong the contest, accumulate expenditures and taxes, and subject the Union t j imminent peril.
