Letter from Peter Cooper to Horatio
Seymour. '
: New-York; August 13th, 18G8.
To the Hon. Horatio Seymour:
Mi Dear Sir, In the last letter I had
ther honor to address to you, I had the
pleasure to thank you for the prompt an
swer to a former letter, and for the assuranco
I received that "we agreed in the end to
be realized, namely, the restoration of the
Union and the preservation of the Con
stitution." You will recollect that I then
stated that I was so deeply impressed with
the absolute necessity of maintaining the
Union and the Constitution that I desired
to sec all powers that God and nature had
given to us brought into requisition to
save our country from being dcsscvcrcd
and made the sport of foreign and domes
tic Saracens.
I feared than, as I fear now, the dan
ger of our being drawn into error by men
who have no faith in a real democratic
from of Government. In that letter I
stated that I was' then, and I have still
continued, to the 78th year of my age,fo
he a firm believer in a truly democratic
republican form of Government I mean
a government founded an those eternal
principles of truth and justice which our
father declared were self-evident, namely:
"That all men arc created equal ; that they
are endowed by their Creator with certain
inalienable rights; that among these are
life, liberty, and the -pursuit of happi
ness ; that to secure these rights, govern
ments are instituted among men, deriving
their just powers from the consent of the
governed."
In the very first words of tho Constitu
tion; formed by our fathers, it i3 declared
that "We, the people of the United States,
in order to form a more perfect union estab
lish justice, insure domestic tranquillity,
provide for the common defence, promote
the general welfare, and secure the bles
sings of liberty to ourselves and our pos
terity, do ordain and est ablishc this Con
stitution fur the United States of Ameri
ca." Our fathers, in forming for us this
Constitution, believed that they had em
bodied in the forms of law, the highest
wisdom, virtue, and intcilijcnceof a tcholc
people. They meant to make the wisdom,
the virtue, and the intelligence of the
people the means to insure all the bless
sing required to make us a nation with
all the powers necessary "to establish
justice,"- and "to promote the general
welfare." --
To enable the people, to do this in the
most convenient manner, they declared,
in the first article of . the Constitution,
that "All legislative powers herein gran
ted shall -be vested in a Congress of the
United States, which shall consist of a
Senate and House of Representatives."
They then describe the mode and man
ner by which the people's representatives
shall be cho?en, who are to make all laws
which shall be necessary and proper for
carrying into execution the powers of
Congress, and all other powers vested by
the Constitution in the Government of
the United States, or in any Department
thereof.
Among these powers there is nothing
plainer than the intention of the framcrs
of the Constitution to vest in the people's
representatives the right to suspend the
writ of habeas corjius whenever in their
judgment "the public safety may require
it." to suppress rebellion or repel invas
ion. I have been led to address this letter
to you, as standing at the head of the
Democratic party a party which I con
tinued to act so long as I believed it was
laboring to promote the greatest good of
our common country; but when I became
convinced that the Democratic party,
with which I had been so long connected,
was lending its power and influence to
sustain men and measures that had so far
perverted the Constitution of our country
as to deny the rights of manhood to
4,000,000 of human beings and when I
was that I wasacting with a party which was
lending its influence to men and measures
that were raising up in our country the
vilest from of an aristocracy an aristoc
racy that claimed it ns a right that "pro
perty should own labor," and. claimed
the right to mix their blood t with the
black race, and then sell their children to
be enslaved with their posterity, ;thcn I
consider it my duty to my country to
abandon a party that had abandonn tho
great principles of truth and justice.
What tongue can describe the horrors
of a system that allowed a father to sell
his child, who may have had seven
eighths of white blood in his veins, to a
brutal master, who had the power to con
fine him on a plantation, under a more
brutal overseer; perhaps a Northern man,
with his conscience callous to every hu
man feeling, and whose principal recom
mendation might be that ho could whip
out of the unprotected slave tho greatest
of labor ! f ..... ; . , ....
Thomas Jefferson might well say, in
view of such a state of things, "I tremble
for my country when I remember that
God is just." .
John Wesley has well declared that
such a system contains within Itself the
sum of all , villainy. The enormity of
human slavery will appear from tho fol
lowing advertisement, copied from The
Georgia Messenger: "llun Away; My
man, Fountaiuc ; has holes in his cars, a
scar on tho right side of his forehead, has
been shot in the hind parts of his legs, is
marked on his back with the whip. Ap
ply to Robert Ueasly, Macon."
We Uiijht well Lave caid, iu view of a
system that allowed such cruelty, as God
is just that the time must come when
those great principles of our Declaration
of Independence that declares "that all
men arc created equal, that they arc en
dowed by their Creator with certain
inalienable rights, that among these arc
life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,"
must be vindicated in our own country.
Allow me to repeat what I said iu my
last letter, namely : that I, who served
my country in perspn and by substitute
from the commencement ofthe war with
England to its close, feel that I have a
right to plead with my countrymen of
every shade of political opinion, and to
beseech them by every consideration that
can move our manhood to consider care
fully the dangers that threaten us as a
nation. . . -
It has been to me, for years, a source
of profound regret to find so many of
those, whom 1 nave esteemed and honored
as friends, taking part with and forming
all kind of excuses for men who have
done all that was possible to destroy our
Union of States; and now I regret to
find those very friends calling themselves
Democrats : and, at the same time, unit
ing with those who were leaders in the
Rebellion, and striving to aid them to
build up what they are pleased to call "a
White Man's Government." by which
they mean to hold 4,000,000 of human
beings under a ban or disqualification
that will prove as destructive to their
happiness as the slavery from which they
have been delivered. I have been at a
loss to sec how a mind so elevated as yours
could for a moment consider it possible
for a democratic government to enact a
course of class legislation that would make
one law for the white man and another
for the black man.
John Stuart Mills has said with great
propriety that "There is no true demo
cracy where large classes of a community
are denied equality of political rights."
lie further declares that "Every Gov
ernment which permanently divides the
people into a governing part1 and a gov
erned part , u an aristocratic Government,
by ichalcvcr name it may be called.
I find that the very men who profess
bo much concern for the preservation of
the Constitution, are now most laboring
to make proselytes for a white man's gov
ernment, which can only be had by leg
islating for class, thereby adopting a
principle that is at war with the very let
ter and spirit of the Constitution which
they profess so much to revere. Such a
course is as inconsistent as the profession
and the practice of President Johnson.
He declared at one time that "treason
against the Government is the highest
crime that can be committed, and that
those engaged in it "should suffer all its
penalties." "Treason," he said, "must be
made odious, and traitors must be pun
ished and impoverished."
He went so far as to say, "Thoy must
not only be punished, but their social
power must be destroyed : if not, they
maintain an ascendency, and may again
become numerous enough for treason to
become respectable." lie said, "After
making treason odious, every Union man
should be remunerated out of the pockets
of those who have iuflictcd the great suf
fering on our country."
lie than said, ',1 hold it a solemn ob
ligation, in every one of theso States,
where the Rebel armies have been beaten
back or expelled, I care not how small
the number of Union men may be, if
enough to man the ship of State, I hold
it to be a high duty to protect and secure
to them a republican form of government
until they gain strength. They must not
be smothered by inches." '
In reference to a Convention to restore
the States, he asked : "Who shall re
store them ? Shall the men who gave all
their influence and means to destroy the
Government? Arc they to participate
in tho great work of re organizing the
Government, who brought this misery on
(he States I . If this be so, then it is said
in truth that all the precious blood of our
bravo soldiers and officers will have been
lost, aud all our battle-fields .will have
been made memorable in vaiu."
. He then asked, "Why all this carnage?'
and said "it was that treason might be
put down and traitors punished." . lie
said "traitors should take a back scat in
the work of restoration." Ho said "the
traitor has ceased to bo a citizen, and ,in
forming , rebellion -has become a public
enemy, and has lost his right to vote
with loyal men,"
He said that the great plantations of
the traitors "must be seized and divided
into small farms and sold to honest, in
dustrious men ;" also, "The day for pro
tecting the lands and negroes of theso au
thors of rebellion is past." ,
To cap the climax of inconsistency with
all that he has since . done and tried to
accomplished, he t-aid that, ho had been
deeply pained by some things that had
come undqr his observation, lie paid,
"We get men in command who, uuder
the influence of flattery, fawning and
caressing, grant protcctiou to rich trai
tors, while the. poor Union man stands
out in the cold." t IIo went on and paid
that "traitors can get lucrative employ
ment while loyal men are pushed aside."
He said, in relation to reconstructing
the Southern States, that "We must not
be in too much of a hurry. It is better
to let them reconstruct themselves, than
to force theni into it." Hut as soon as
he beeaiuo President, we find hini hur
rying Reconstruction on a jdati or policy
ol Lio own, aud rcsLtia;;, "with ul the
! power ho possessed, the mild measures
! 3 i. n i . i i
'enable the Rebel States to reconstruct
, themselves with the least possible dif
(ficulty or delay.
It is difficult for one to imagine how
any honest, intelligent man can join with
j President Johnson, and charge the ma
jority of Congress with being a c.lass of
.'radicals and traitors, "hanging onthe
1 skirts ota Government which they arc
trying to destroy."
It has been equally difficult for me to
form an apology for such unreasonable
charges as I find in your speeches and
in the speeches of others claiming to be
Democrats against an administration
that has had to contend with every form
of difficulty and misrepresentation that
j the ingenuity of those who were in rebel -
jlion against the Government, and of all
who were inj?ympathy with them, could
invent.
I regret to find in several of your
speeches that you make no allowance for
the cxtradinary and trying circumstances
through which the Government has been
compelled to pass circumstances that
would have made it wise and proper to
have raised money by forced loans, if no
other means could have been found to
save the nation's life.
You have said truly in your late speech
that the Rcpulican party "denounces all
forms of repudiation as a national crime."
You then try to throw on that party the
od ium of a deliberate design to repu
diate the national debt.
The repudiation of the national debt is
one of the last acts that tho Republican
party will ever tolerate or allow.
I have been pained to find in your
several speeches a course of reasoning
that is tending to revive the rebellious spirit
throughout our Southern States a course
of reasoning that has already won for you
the enthusiastic support of those who
were most prominent in the Rebellion,
and of all who are in sympathy with thcci
throughout our country.
I am sory to see in your speeches an
effort to prejudice the laboring popula
tion with the statement that the Govern
ment is introducing a system of unjust
and unequal taxation.
It is certain that our Government could
never stand in the presence of such laws
as prevailed throughout the Southern
States before the Rebellion; laws that
made it a crime to "unbind the heavy
burden, and let the captive go free ;"
laws that made it a crime to teach a poor
helpless slave to read and write, fearing
that a knowledge of the Declaration of
Independence, that declares the untenable
right of every man to his life, liberty,
and the pursuit of happiness, would make
him unwilling longer to remain a slave.
To talk of such a system and such laws
as have prevailed at the South being de
mocratic, is to talk of a living body with
out an animating spirit.
The Cincinnati Catholic Telegraph,
the official organ of the Cathoic Church
in the West, has said, with great pro
priety, that "the interest of humanity and
the welfare of white labor, in particular,
arc involved in the question of Slavery
more than in any other, and it is the
duty of men to prepare their minds con
scientiously that they may, as far as pos
sible, maintain what is best for the peo
ple. Every .one acknowledges that Sla
very is an evil. No man who is free
would ever consent to be a slave. It is
abhorrcut to his. nature. No one can al
lege any right to reduce a human being
to that miserable condition. It is detest
able to mind and heart. And moreover
he who reduces a free man to Slavery is
excommuuicatcd by the Catholic Church.
Slavery was the cause of our national trou
bles. It was for Slavery that the war
was commcuccd, and the blood of the
brave men who have fallen on both sides
has been shed by this insatiate monster.
The hope of its restoration is not aband
oned. There arc multitudes of men who
would love to see it in the ascendant as it
was before." Never were truer words
said than that "Slavery was the cause of
our national troubles."
Notwithstanding all the misery that
Slavery and the war has brought on our
couutry, let us assure all who took part
in the Rebellion that we intend to do
them all the good we can. We intend to
secure for them and for ourselves the con
stitutional guaranty of a republican form
of government, which is the greatest
earthly blessing oar nation can posses.
: It has been , with more than ordinary
sorrow that I find among tho errors of
your lato ppcech other grave charges
against tho Republican party.
You say it has adopted "a policy of
hate, of waste, and of military despotism,"
in all of which you are as much in error
as you arc when you state that the Re
publican party has expended 8500,000,
000 of the taxes drawn from the people
of this country "to uphold a despotic mil
itary authority, aud to crush out the life
of tho States."
The facts, as shown by Mr. Rhino, in
Congress, arc that only a very small part
of tho amount you name was
expended in maiutaining tho authority
of tho Government over the Rebel States.
Let us unite to.frown down that spirit of
rebellion that found encouragement in
the Democratic Convention that met in
Chicago, when it virtually recognized tho
principle of Secession and Disunion as an
established fact, by proposing "a cessa
tion of hostilities," and a call for a con
vention of all tho States to meet in their
sovereign rapacity and deliberate with men
who .VQio thea in. active rebellion, uuiuj
'forth all their efforts to overthrow the Gov
crmcnt by force.
You charge the Republican party with
" proposing to deprive the people cf the
South of their right to vote for presiden
tial Electors." You then say that "the first
bold steps are taken to destroy the rights
of suffrage."
This reasoning is unaccountable in riew
of the fact that the Republican party bay
been constantly making efforts to extend
the elective franchise on a principle of
equal rights to every man without regard
to country, caste or color
Nothing could be more unfair than your
charge that the Republican party intend
that "there shall be no peace or order at
the South save that which is made by
arbitrary power." I will close this Ionsr
letter by saying that I believe it would
j he the proudest day of your life if I could
. persuade you to unite with all who are
I laboring to secure a purely Democratic
Republican admininistration of our State
and General Government. For one, I
desire to do what I can to secure peace
and prosperity to a country which in tho
course of nature I must soon leave, but
with an ardent desire that it may forever
remain a glorious Union of States, where
goodness and greatness shall be the motto
and inspiration of the peoples.
I remain, very respectfully,
PETER COOPERL.

while in the field, they heard from the
Copperheads at home ? Do they remember
the fire in the rear from Valhndighanx
and Pendleton and Seymour? Can thcy
forgct how they pledged themselves to
remember and honor those, who aided
and encouraged tho Union causo
by their influence at home, and how they
swore to visit a just retribution upon
those other traitors who wero striving tu
defeat them ? The time has como now foe
these thiugs to be remembered.
If you don't want to lose your vote.
don't bet.
If you don't want to lose your money,,
dou't bet it on Seymour and Rhir.
