Mr. Kurtz :—As 1 have seen no no-
tice published, as yet, of the procee-
dings and conduct of the would-be
peace party, on the night of their mee-
ting in Bellefonte, on Wednesday of
August court ; and as I deem it a du-
ty, for the benefit of the peaceful citi-
zens, to make public their outrageous
conduct on their return through our
village, I make this communication.
About midnight they came howling,
yolling and groaning all the Demo-
cratic families, and calling for groans
for all such, and it being at a late
hour of night, it alarmed us. The
cause we cannot give, as the Demo-
crats have held no meetings and have
given no cause for such treatment.
The only reason I can imagine; is,
that we are freemen and exercise that
right, without fear or favor from any
one, and recognize no master to lead
us. Principles alone i8 our motto—
and we hold the Constitution, as it
was made by the patriots of the revo-

vention here on Wednesday, it resul-
ted in the choice of John T. Hoffman
for Governor, Allen C. Beach for Lieu
tenant-Governor. There was a very
large turn-out, and it passed off very
eacefully and satisfactorily. On
Thursday evening a ratification: mee-
ting took place in the park adjoining
the capitol. ~ The ‘whole park was
grandly illuminated and several
stands erected for the speakers, which
were all occupied during the evening
by eminent speakers, such as Lanning
of Buffalo, Fates A. Nelson, Sec. of
State, A. J. Rogers, M. C. of New
Jersey, BE. O. Perrin and a host of
others,
The different wards came out in
vast numbers with their lamps trimmed
and burning, each accompanied with
a band of music, State street was lit up
with bon-fires. These different sights
with the multitude of people was pleas-
ing and grand, and strongly indicative
of the great interest in the weliare of
their common country. The people
are beginning to see that wmisrule will
rob us of ear birth-right, and ruin the
country. They every where seem de-
termined that republican despotigm
shall no more rule the nation. The
state of New York will give one of the

I see that interpreting State rights |
to conflict with national unity has |
produced a violent reaction against |

could have been in a great measure

people ofthe South entertain no un-
friendly feelings toward the Govern.
ment of the United States, but they
complain that their rights under the
constitution are withheld from them in
the administration thereof. Their idea
that the Southern people are hostile to
the negroes, and would oppress them if
it were in their power to do so, is ¢n-
tirely unfounded. They have grown
up in our midst, and we have been ac-
customed from our childhood te look

and the people of the North and West,

will meet with a response so warm, so
generous and confiding that we shall

effec and regard for the Union, the

our credit and currency, provoke dis-
content and disorder among our peo-
ple, and bring demagogical agitation, |
revolution, repudiation, and a thou- |
sand unnamed evils and villians on us.
We know that the interests of the per-
ple of the South are for law and order,
and they must share our fate of good
I believe every one I know,
who reflects, believes that if the peo-
ple of the Southern States could be at
peace, and energy and good will heartis
ly applied to repair the wastes of war,
reorganize their business, set the freed-
men peacefully, prosperously and con-
tentedly at work ; invite capital, enter-
prise and labor from elsewhere to come
freely among them, they would soon
rebuild their ruined fortunes and
multiply manifold the value of their
lands—establish public confidence in
our political stability—bring our Gov-
ernment bonds to a premium—our
currency to a gold standard, and
assure for themselves and the whole
i
nation a most happy and prosperous
future. Seeing this aud how all just |
interests concur in the work I ask the
officers and soldiers who fought for the
Union, ask every thinking man of the
great West and North ask why it can-
not be done. We are told by those
who have controlled the Government
for the last four years that the people
of the South will not do if, that if done
at all it must be done by the poor
simple uneducated landless freedmen
and the few whites, who, against the
puplic opinion and sentiment of the
intelligent white people, are willing to
attempt to lead and make their living
off of these ignorent and inexperienced
colored people, mostly men who must
be needy adventurers, or without any
of these attributes on which reliance
for good guidance or government can
be placed. We are told that this kind
of government must he continued at
the South until six or eight millions of
country, and that what you would say

G eNgRrAL:—I have had the honor to
receive your letter of this date, and in
conferred with a number of gentlemen
from the South, in whose judgment I
have confidence, and who are acquain
ted with the public sentiment of their
respective States. They have kindly
consented to unite with mein replying
to your communication, and their
names will be found with my own ap-
pended to this answer. With this ex-
planation, we proceed to give you a
candid statement of what we believe
to be the sentiment of the Southern
people in regard to the subject to
Whatever o finions
may lave prevailed in the past, in
regard to African slavery, or the right
of a State to secede from the Union,
we belicve we express the almost
unanimous judgment of the Southern
people when we declare that they con-
sider that the questions were decided
by the war,and that it is their inten-
tion, in good faith, to abide by that
decision. At the close of the war, the
Southern people laid down their arms
and sought to resume their relations
with the United States Government
through their State Conventions.
They abolished slavery and annulled
ordinances ef secession, and they re-
turned to their peaceful pursuits, with
a sincere purpose to fill all their duties
under the Constitution of the United
States, which they had sworn to sup-
port. If their action in these particu-
intelligent and energetic white people

est, «ven if Uhre were NO higher mno-
tives, would therefore prompt the
whites of the South to extend to the ne.
groes, care and protection. The im-
portant faet that the two races are, un-
der existing cir®mstances, necessary
to each other, is gradually becoming
apparent to both, and we believe tha.*
but for influences, exerted to stir up
themselves on a basis of mutual kind-
ness and advantage. [t is true that
the South, together with the people of
the North and West arc for ebvious
reasons opposed to any system of laws
which would place the political power
of the country in the hands of the ne-
gro race, but this opposition springs
from no feeling of enmity, but from
a deep seated conviction that at pres-
ent the negroes have neither the intel-
ligence nor other qualifications which
are necessary to make them safe de.
positors of political power ; they would
inevitably decome the vietims of dema-
gogues, who, for selfish purposes, would
mislead them, to the serious injury of
the public. The great want of the
South is peace; the people earnestly
desire tranquility and the restoration
of the Union. They depreciate disor-
dor and excitement as the most serious
obstacle to their prosperity. They ask
a restoration of their rights under the
Constitution ; they desire relief from
oppressive mistule. Above all, they
would appeal to their countrymen for
the re-establishment in the Southern
States of that which bas justly been
regarded as the birthrigtht of every
American citizen—the right of self-
fovert néit = sh lied there on a
rm basis, and Southern people, that
they will faithfully-obey the Constitu-
tion and the laws of the United Stales;
treat the negro with kindness and hu-
manity, and fulfil every duty incume
bent on peaceful citizens loyal to the
constitution of their country.
We believe the above contains a
succinct reply to the general topics,
embraced in your letter, and we vens
ture to say on- behalf bf the Southern
people, and of the officers and soldiers
of the late Cone lerate army, that they
will concur in all the sentiments which
we have expressed. >
Appreciating the pairiotic motives
which have prompied your 1 tter, and
reciprocating your ¢xpressions of kind
rezard, we have the honor ta bs, very
