A LETTER
from Tetcr Cooper to Horatio Seymour.
New York, August 13th, 1S68.
TotheIIo.v. Horatio Seymour: My
Dear Sir: -In 'he las letter I hadlthe hon
or to aJJrcss to you, I had the pleasure to
lhank you for the prompt answer to a for
mer ktter, and for the assurance I received
ibst "we agreed in the end to be realized,
namely, the restoration of the Union and
the preservation of the Constitution." You
will reccllect. that I then stated that I was
go deeply impressed with the absolute neces
sity of maintaining the Union and the Con
stitution that I desired to see all the row
ers that God and nature had given to us
brought into requisition to save our country
from being dissevered and made the sport
of foreign and domestic Saracens.
I feared then, as I fear now, the danger
of our being drawn into error by men who
hive do faith in a real democratic form of
orernaient. In that letter I stated that I
was then, and I have still continued, to the
T8th year of mv age, to be a firm believer in
a truly democratic form of government I
wean a government founded on those eter
nal principles of truth and justice which
our fathers declared were self-evident, name
ly: ''That all-men were created equal;
that tbey are endowed by their creator with
ct-rta u iuuiietiable rights; that among these
are life,libe.rti,ri ml the pursuit of hnppint ;
that to secure these righLs, governments are
instituted among men, deriving their just
powers form the consent of those that are
foverned."
In the very first words of the Constitu
tion, formed by our fathers, it is declared
lhat "We, the people of the United States,
In order to form a more perfect union, es
tablish justice, insure domestic tranquility,
provide for the common defence, promote
the general welfare, and secure the bless
ings of liberty to ourselves ami onr posteri
ty, Hit ordti'n and establish thin Constitu
tion for the Cnited Statr of America."
Our fathers, in fotuiinu for us this Con
stitution, believed that they had embodied
in tl.e forms of law, the highest wisdom,
virtue, ami intelligence of a ichote people.
They itie:mt to make the wisdom, the virtue
znd the intelligence of the people the means
to insure all the Llessinirs required to make
us a nation with all the powers necessary
"to establish jutu," and to "promote the
general welfare."
To enable the people to do this inthe most
convenient manner,they declared, in the first
article ot the Constitution, that "'Ad legis
lative powers herein printed shall be rested
i a Congress of tlie United States, vhich
ihiV consist of a Semite and House of Rep
resentatives. ' '
They then describe the mode and manner
by which the people's representatives shall
be chosen, who are to make all laws which
sludl 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 there powers there is nothing
plainer than the intention of the framers of
the Con?titutiuu to vest in the people's rep
resentatives the right to suspend tl.e writ
of haltus corjuis whenever in their judgment
'the public safety may require it," to sup
press rebellion or rejicl invasion.
I have been led to address this letter to
yon. as standing at the bead of the Demo
cratic party a party with which I continued
to act so long as I believed It was laboring
to promote the greatest good of our com
mon country; but when I became convinc
ed that the Democratic party, with which I
hid 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 saw that I was acting
ith a rarty which was lending its influence
to men and measures that were raising up
in our country the vilest form of an aristoc
an aristocracy that claimed it as a
"(fbt that "property should own labor,"
"J claimed the right to mir their blood
'tb. the b!a. k race, ami then sell their
children to be enslaved with all their poster
Ky, then I consider it my duty to my coun
T to abandon a party that had abandoned
h great principles of truth and justice.
hat tonjrue can describe the horros of a
'tetu that allowed a fathertosell his child,
"w fflay have had seven tights of white
J iD his vein, to a brutal master, who
the power toconfine him on a plantation,
Bder a more brutal overseer; perhaps a
Whern man, with bis conscience callous
every human feeling, and whose principal
""Kameation might be rbat he could whip
out of unprotected slave the greatest amount
? Thomas Jefferson might well say,
llT f Uc!l 8Ute ttln,!' "I trenl"
'r tty country when I remember that
isjast."
John Wcslry has well declared that such a
ytu contain, within itself the sum of all
ainy. Xhe enormity of human slavery
from the following advertisement,
Pd frm The Georgia Mesne,, fer : "Run
Ay My man. Fountain; has hole in bin
scar on the right side of his fo.-ehead,
a been shot in the biud parte of his legs
M marked on his back with the whip. Ap
P'y to Pbert Beasly, Macon."
N e niiht well have said ,in view of a sy9
'hat allowed such cruelty, as God is
Ji3. that the time must come when those
8 Principles of our Declaration of Inde
pendence "that all men are created equal,
they are endowed by their Creator
csrtaia inalienable rights, that
uiong these axe life, liberty, and the pursuit
OJ nappiness must be vindicated in our
own country.. Allow nic to repeat what I
said in my last letter, namely: that I, who
served my country in person and substitute
from the commencement of the war with
England to its close, feel that I have a
right to plead with my countrymen of every
bhade of political opinion, and to beseech
them by every consideration that can niuve
our manhood to consider carefully the dan
gers that theaten us as a nation.
It has been to me,for years,a source of pro
found regret to find so many of those, whom
I have esteemed and honored as friends,
taking part with and forming all kind of ex
cuses 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,uniting with those who were lead
ers in the Rebellion, and striving to aid
them to build up what they are pleased to
call a "White Man' Government," by
which they mean to hold 4,000,000 of hu
man beings under a bau or disqualification
that will prove as destructive to their hap
piness as the slavery from which they
have been delivered. I have been at a loss
to sec how a uiiud 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 Mill has said with great pro
priety, "There is no true democracy where
large classes of a community are denied
equality of political rights."
He further declares that "Every Govern
ment which permanently divides the neorde
into a govern in j part, and governed part,
is an aristocratic Government, by whatever
name.it nuiyLe calleiL" I find that the very
men who profess so much concern for the
preservation of the Constituition, are now
most earnestly laboring to make proselytes
for a white roan 's government, which can
only be had by legislating for class, thereby
adopting a principle that is at war with the
very letter and spirit of the Constitution
which they profess so mmh to revere.
Such a course is as inconsistent as the pro
fession and practice of President Johnson.
He declared at one time that "treason
against the Government is the highest crime
that can be committed," and tho-e engaged
in it "should suffer all its penalties."
"Treason," he sail, "must be inaue odious,
and traitors must be punished and im
poverished." He went so far as to say, "They must not
only be punished, but their social power
must be destroyed; if not, they maintain an
ascender cy, and may again become nu
merous enough for treason to become re
spectable." He said, "A ?ter making trea
son odious, every Union man should be re
munerated out of the pockets of those who
have inflicted the great sufFering on our
country."
He then said, "Ihold it a solemn obliga
tion, in every one of these States, where the
Rebel armies have been beaten back or ex
pelled, 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 add 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 restore
them? Shall the men who gave all their
influence and means to destroy the Govern
ment? Are they to participate in the gr at
work of re-organizing the Government, who
brought this :tii.-cry on the States? If this
be so, then it is said in truth that all the
precious blood of our brave soldiers and offi
cers will have been lost, and all our battle
fields will have been made memorable in
vain."
Hethenasked: "Why all thiscarnage?"
and said "it was that treason might be put
down and traitors punished." He said:
"traitors should take a back "eat in the
work of restoration." He said "the traitor
has ceased to be a citizen, and in forming
rebellion has become a public enemy, and
has lost his right to vote with loyal men."
Hie said that the great plantations of the
traitors "must be seized and divided into
small farms and sold to honest iudustrious
men ;" also, "the day for protecting the
lands and negroes of these authors of re
bellion is past."
To cap the climax of inconsistency with
all that he has since done and tried to accom
plish, he said that he "had been deeply pain
ed by some things that had come under his
observation." He said, "We get men in
command who, under the influence of flat
ter;, fawning and caressing, grant protection
to rich traitors, while the poor Union man
stands out in the cold." He went on and
said 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 ba in
too much of a hurry. It is better to let
them reeonsiruct themselves, thau to force
them into it." But as soon as he became
President, we find him hurrying Reconstruc
tion on a plan or policy of his own, and re
sisting, with ail the power he possessed, the
mild measures prepared by Congress, and
intended to enable the Rebel States to re
construct themselves with the least possible
difficulty or delay.
It is difficult for one to imagine how any
honest, intelligent man can join with Pre i
dent Johnson, and charge the majority of
Concress with being a class of radicals and
traitors, "hanging on the skirts of a Gov
ernment which they are trying to destoy.".
It baa been equally difficult for me to form
an apology for such unreasonable charges as
I find in your speeches and in the speech
es of others claiming to be Democrats
against an administration that' has had to j
contend with every form of difficulty and
misrepresentation that the ingenuity of those
who were in rebellion against the Govern
ment, and of all who were in sympathy
with them, could invent.
I regret to find in several of your speech
es that you make no allowance for the extra
ordinary and trying circumstances through
which the Government has been compelled
to pass circumstances that would have
made it wise and proper to have raised mon
ey 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 Republican party "denounces all
forms of repudiation as a national crime."
You then try to throw on that party the
odium of a deliberate design to repudiate
the national debt.
The repudiation of the national debt is
one of the last acts that the Republican party
will ever tolerate or allow.
I have been pained to find in your several
speeches a course of reasoning that is tend
ing to revive the rebellious spirit throughout
our Southern States a course of reasoning
that has already won for you the enthusias
tic support of those who were most promi
nent in the Rebellion, and all who are in
sympathy with them throughout ourcountry.
I am sorry to see in your speeches an ef
fort to prejudice the laboring population
with the statement that the Government 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 nude it a
crime to teach a poorhelpless slave to read
and write, fearing that a knowledge of the
Declaration of Independence, that declares
the unalienable right of every man to his
life,bis 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 Demo
cratic, is to talk of a living body without an
animating spirit.
The Cincinnatti Catholic Telegraph, the
official organ of the Catholic Church in the
West, has said, with great propriety, that
'"the interest of humanity and the welfare
of white labor, in particular, are involved in
the question of Slavery more than in any
other, and it is the duty of met: to prepare
their minds conscientiously that they may,
as far aspossible, maintain what is best for
the people. Everyone acknowledges that
Slavery is an evil. Xo man who is free
would ever consent to be a slave. It is ab
horrent to his nature. No one can allege
anv right to reduce a human being to that
miserable condition. It is detestable to mind
and heart. And moreover he w ho reduces a
free man to Slavery is excommunicated by
the Catholic Church. Slavery was the cause
of our national troubles. It was for Slavery
that the war was commenced, and the blood
of the brave men who have fallen on both
sides has been shed by this insatiate mon
ster. The hope of its restoration is not yet
abandoned. There are multiiudes of men
who would love to see it in the ascendant as
was before." Never were truer words
said than that "Slavery was the cause of
our national troubles "
Notwithstanding all the misery that Slave
ry and the war has brought on our coun
try, let us assure all who took part in the
Rebellion that we intend to do tliein all the
good we can. We intetid to secure for them
and for ourselves the Constitutional guaranty
of a republican form of Government, which
is the greatest earthly blessing our nation
can possess.
It has been with more than ordinary sor
row that I find among the errors of your late
speech other grave charges against the Re
publican party. You say it has adopted "a
policy of hate, of waste, and of military
despotism," in all of w hich you are as much
in error as you are when you state that the
Republican party has expended $.100,000,000
of taxes drawn from the people of the coun
try "to uphold a despotic military authority,
and to crush out the lifeof the States."
The facts.as shown by Mr. Ib'aine in Con
gress, that only a very small part of the
amount you name wasexpended in maintain
ing 'he authority of the Government over
the Rebel States. Let us unite to frown
down that spirit of rebellion that found en
couragement in the Democratic Convention
that met in Chicago, when it virtually recog
nized the principle of Secession and Disun
ion as an established faet, by proposing "a
cessation of hostilities" and call for a con
vention of all the States to meet in their
sovereign capacity and deliberate with men
who were then in active rebellion, puttiuc
forth all their efforts to overthrow the Gov
ernment by force.
You charge the KrpnLliei-n party with
"proposing to deprive the people of the
South of their right to vote for Presidential
Electors." You then say that "the firrt
bold steps are taken to dettriy the rights 0f
suffrage.".
This reasoning is unaccountable in view
ot the fact that the Republican party has
been constantly making efforts to extend
the elective franchise on a principle of equal
rights to everj-man without regard to coun
try, caste or color.
Nothing could be more unfair than your
charge that the Republican party intends
that "there shall be no peace or order at
the South save that which is made by arbi
trary power." I will close this long letter
by saying that I believe it wou!d be the
proudest day of your life if I could ersuade
you to uaite with all who are laboring to se
cure a purely Democratic Republican ad
ministration of our State and General Gov
ern ment.ju. For one, I desire to do what I
can to secure peace and prosperity to a
country which in the course of nature I
must soon leave, bat with an ardent desire
that it may forever remain a glorious Union
ot States, where goodness and greatness
shall be the motto and inspiration of the
peoples. I remain, very reapetfully,
... Peter Cooter.
LOCAL COeIeSPONDEITOE.
Westover, August 2Sth, 1 803.
Dear Jocrxal: Although our little
village is somewhat ancient, yet, as we do
not make as much fusa and bestir ourselves
as some other more pretentious places I
could name, 1 thought I would say a word
in regard to Westover, lest it should be for
gotten by your readers.
Our little village (as we call it) is situate
on the head waters of Chest creek, in Chest
township, Clearfield county. The air, and
water is as pure and invigorating here as
anywhere on the faco of the earth at
least we think so, and that will suffice.
We have here one church, one school, one
store, one post-office, and one saw-mill.
The store contains almost all the necessa
ries of life. Having no railroad (only in
the future tense), we are free from the
shriek of the steam whistle, and the noisy
population usually found along such a thor
oughfare. Uncle Sa aue) brings us the
news from the outside world semi-weekly,
so that we keep pretty well posted in regard
to w hat is transpiring around us.
The surrounding viciuity presents a fine,
gently undulating, and I mpy say beautiful
aspect. Is tolerably thickly settled by intel
ligent farmers and lumbermen, who rejoice
in cultivating their farms and felling the
stately pines. Few localities excel us in the
timber line.
And now, lest I should weary your read
ers, and as we are not prone to gas about
ourselves, I will let t'uetn. form . their own
conclusions in regard to this place, and, if
they are not satisfied let theiu come and see
for themselves.
Respectfully yours, J. M.
Some people suppose that every learue 1
man is an educated man. ' No such thieg.
The man is educated who knows himself,
and takes accurate common sense views of
men and things axuiiii;! hiin.- Some very
learned men are the greatest fools in the
world ; the reason is that they pre not edu
cated men. Tearing is only the means, not
the end. I's value consists in giving the
means of acquiring the use of that which,
properly managed, enlightens the mind.
