The Betrayal of the Cause of Freedom Letters to the Secretary of State. To the Hon. Wm.' H. Seward, Secretary of State I believe I may promise to make this let ter brief, as the subject, being yourself, may be soon exhausted. I wish to show you how treacherous you have been ; how you have deceived men who regarded you as their friend to their ruin ; how you have corrupt ed the counsels of the nation and produced sorrow whore there should have been strength. When Mr. Johnson assumed the Presiden tial office ho was full conscious of his own weakness and of his utter inability to bear the weight of that world of responsibility which rested on his shoulders ; he called a round him the best men of that party which had sustained the Administration of Mr. Lincoln, and apparently be was satisfied - with the Advice which he received—to main- Lain the policy of his predecessor, and to de pend upon the great Union party of the eAntry for support. In the first days of Mr. Johnson's Administration your life was trembling in the balance, and the counsels of (me in whom the nation trusted were want ing in the great emergency. The President at first spoke boldly and acted wisely ; but from the moment when your health was so far restored tlnA you were enabled to attend Cabinet meetings, and to give your advice to the President, he drifted away from the landmarks by which his predecessor had been guided into a limitless ocean of treach ery and folly, where he and you, and all whom you persuaded to take part in the ven ture, are sure to be engtilrhed and lost. Who are your friends to-day, Mr. Seward? Not those, surely, Who stood by you in the old time when you were true to the great cause of liberty, and battled with assumed bravery in its behalf. But rather those tame and spiritless men who would have sacri fiend our country for the sake of pence ; men who could not o'4 to the infinite justice of Almighty (lod ; men who could not be made to believe during the deep-red years of the civil war that our republican institutions had inherent strength enough to save them selves from destruction. The bold men of the opposition—the men who have always contended that the rebels were right laid de served success, the out-spoleen traitors of the North, the nice who are represented by such papers 118 the Now York 11"arld and News, do not thank you for your apostasy ; they r gard you with contempt, and add con tumely to their rejection of your alliance. E ell your letter to "Old-Union-loving Tam many" was laughed at ; your crouching sub servience to Southern rebels is answered by While you have made yourself contempti ble you has e destroyed the career of a man of larger heart and better and nobler inspir ation. Andrew Johnson would have been a _neat historic character had you left him in the ha; ds of those who surrounded and sustained him while you were prostrated up on the bed of sickness. Now you—yes, you, more than any other—have caused him to make the administration of JOlOl Tyler re spectable. do not wish to ifnitate Junius, but I do wish to tell the whole truth to the country, and thereby to servo the country. You are the "head and front of the offending." You are the 3ddas-like betrayer of your own prin ciples—of those principles which your elo quence has driven in upon the heart of the nation. 11 ad the book of your public life been finished six years ago, twenty millions of freemen might have taught their chil dren and their childres children to do you honor. How is it now You have doubt less often wandered in the beautiful grave yard of that beautiful city of Auburn, in which your homestead lies, and where the people still love you, and find it hard to be lieve in your apostacy ; and you remember the picturesque monument with the touching inscription, "Who is there to k lourn for Logan'."Should your political life end with the going down4if this day's sun it would be difficult to find a response to the question, "Who is there to mourn for Seward 7" The mischief you have done by your trea chery to the cause of freedom is hard to be computed. Is it possible that on on^ so old in political strategy, does not fully comprehend the effect of his own wrong doing 1 Forgive yourself, if you can, standing upon the graves of our martyred heroes, roinember ing tho sacred dust that is beneath you, and holding out the right hand of perfect recon ciliation to the murderers of a quarter of a million of the men who are represented by the crumbling bones on which your foot are pressed ; this is but one side of the picture. It was in consequence of the grand instruc tions which you were wont to give that we were able to reconcile the nation to the mul titudinous deaths of the hospital, the battle field, and the prison. The people were told that the graves of the heroes would sanctify the soil, and that out of the mounds would spring fair flowers, which should make the earth beautiful and the air fragrant with the beauty and tho breath of liberty. You told us 'to expect this glorious consummation, and how have you met the possible fulfil -1 ment, of your own prophecies ? .13y falsehood and betrayal, by, smiles for the enemies of republican liberty, and by acted if not spo ken curses for the groat party that stands for justice and for universal freedom. Do you claim ownership in yourself or have you bargained away, your own soul ? With or without your consent, you aro be ing used for, villainous purposes in your own State. Ten years ago, under your, auspices, the party of freedom could carry Now York by ono hundred thousand majority ; its elec toral vote was given for Mr. T 4 incoln, in . 1804 by loss than ton' thousand : Major*, 'Who is riiii'ponSiblo for t.,liis,great falling off? When you occupied the Executive chair of tho Empiro"ptate it was tlio common Say ing' of your Onemiatbat Thurlow Wood was Governor Of New York. .Bofore , iled since that time it hasbeen a Metter of - pUblid nO . - tOrioty that yonand'Alr: Woed' woo ,ono, or, rather that you wore the puppet that jumped whoa Mr.'Weed touched the ivirea. If this is true, and otits essential! truth I have nq doubt, you haveleen Moved to play the most fantastic tricks during th . O' peat. yo'O thtit Over)ltatatOn played:, I entertain a fueling of respect—l might Carlisle, Pa., Friday, August 3, 1866 true to his friends ; he is consistent with himself; ho is the most skilful and in some respects the most successful politician ,in this country; he has often shown that ho can make or mar the fortunes of a great political party ; yet Mr. Weed piles up his victims on either side of the road in which he travels, and his last and most conspicuous victim is William H. Seward. Lot me explain; not with the hope that you will understand the explanation; but with an abiding conscious ness that the country Will fully comprehend and appreciate. Konen E. Fenton, the present Governor of New York, is a proper representative of the Republican party of that State, of which you were once the lea der, and which now sustains the majority in Congress. Mr. Fenton does not sympathize with Mr. Weed, and will not submit to his dictation. He oven had the effrontery to organize the Board of Health, the Board of Commissioners of Foreign Emigration, the Metropolitan Police Board, without consult ing Mr. Weed. Submission on the part of Mr. Weed was wholly out of the question, and he determined at once to crush Mr. Fen ton, and in order to accomplish this work ho has prostituted you ; he has retarded and ob structed national legislation ; he has so divi ded' the counsels of the Republicans of Now York that it is more than possible that the Democratic party will carry the election in November. A largo majority in tho Congress of the United States has endeavored, during the present session, so to legislate as to develop the resources, : nd thus increase the wealth, power, and population of the country. The members of the ruling party have introduced no measure which has not been violently op posed by men who are openly or secretly your friends. That you or Mr. Weed has been actuated by any principle higher than a merely selfish one, it would be in vain to contend. You have done all in your power to defeat all practical legislation. You have been instrumental in postponing the consid eration of the tariff bill, which contains no principle you have not a hundred times elo quently advocated. Your friends tried in vain to prevent any improvement in the in ternal revenue tax bill ; and this very day the bill fur the construction of a ship canal a round to the Falls of Niagara was lost, beentn-a your friends hypocritically pretended that its passage would materially affect the interests of the Republican party in New York. The passage of the bill is demanded by the com mercial interests of the East and the agricul tural interests of the West, and the comple tion of the proposed work would, as you are well aware, confer a great blessing upon all the world. The statement that the passage of the bill would affect adversely the election in New York is so absolutely , false that it has no. shadow even of foundation in truth. You, and your superior, Weed, and your circle of friends, endanger the election in Now York. You, the Secretary of State, have lent yourself to Mr. Weed's uses for the gratification of his private purposes and per sonal spite against Mr. Fenton. You will assist in breaking up the Republican party ; you will divide the friends who have so often in times of great peril rallied around you ; you will smile while the great State you 4o foully misrepresent is given over to the Cop perhead Democracy, because your more than friend, your political father, your dry nurse, was not consulted by Governor Fenton when certain appointments were to be made. But we yet believe that, in your despite, the Empire State will still be true to the cause of liberty. Should she prove false, you and your friends will bo alone to blame. On your shoulders and on those of your political owners and employers will rest the sole re sponsibility,l) Should Mr. Thurlow Weed and yourself, instead of laboring through these long dog-days to procure the removal of petty postmasters of obscure country vil lages for the crime of remaining true to the principles learned from your lips, address yourselves to the Union mon of New York urging them to unite in the support of that candidate for Governor who is the manifest choice of the people, Mr. Fenton would be re-elected by more than thirty thousand ma jority, every Union representative would be returned or succeeded by a man of like record and principles, and the number of Union Representatives would bo increased. If the State of New York is lost to the Union party it will be because of the personal vindictive ness of Mr. Thurlow Weed and the treachery of his puppet, William 11. Seward. But the State of Now York will not bo lost. You have lost a great portion of your power, That great mass of foreign voters, forty thousand strong at least, which has for a quarter of a century contondod against you and on tho side of your newly found allies of Tammany, you will find have open ed their oyes at length to tho thorough por ception.of the great truth that the friends of liberty for AmeriCans, black and white, are necessarily the advocates of the liberty of all men and of all nationalties the world over t ,: and these men will vote against William H. Seward in the fall election, and by defeating him and his, rebuke him in a manner ho can well •understand for his treacherous back sliding. You may ask, as some of your friends have already asked, why you are singled opt no the object of attack and denunciation. The answer is simple. You are the most conspicuous traitor that the reforni party of freedom has Itnown, because of tj , isur great position you have been able to do more' harm to the cause you luiie betrayed ''then any other. Such men as governor Randall are 'blatant., and Coating 'mere. Mr. McCulloch proves upon'everi'possible• oceaSion that his' is as ignorant 'tts a Child of great political principles and their appli 7 cation. Mr. Welles never was and by , . no peasibilty ever -pan become • a power;. letters favoring this or that'coaventiiin'tire mere waste paper. Dixon and Gowan .ana Doolittle . are. , adventurers in politics,. OF whom athing better , than their present treachery could reasonably have been :U'ic peeted. ,You are not merely a noisy demo!: gogue; you are'skilled in politics; you repi• resent a power; you are not a"mere advenr 'tam, but a: man of great-mentsi resoUrocs and of 'extensive influence. YQU are to the great party ,of freedom, which trusted' you, what 'Benedict'• Arnold was, to -the stru6 gling patriots of the BeiolutlOM'what .Jelf; fern on Baids,wafi and is to .the principles: of of democratic government in Amerioa,! , thn ,suicinl re . traitor, the magnitude of .whoso almost say regard—for Mr., Weed, for he possesses many admirable qualities. He is guilt makes all other cotemPorary treason contemptible. When you and yours aro defeated, as you surely will be, by the good sense *of the people, aided by their undi minished and undying love of liberty, your name, which might have stood pn the his toric page in the same line with those of Lincoln, Grant, and Farrngut, will find no better compapionship than.- the names of those who strcihic at the life of our beloved country—who made the streets of every vil lage in the land sombre with the mourning robes of bereft sires and dames, and wives and children, and brethern and sisters. WASHINGTON, July 15, 1666 SIR: Only a few yeiffs have passed since a large and powerful party in this country regarded you as its chosen leader and the pioneer of the great army of reform. IL is but a little more than one year ago when the nation, bowed down with grief at the sudden taking off of the best and purest pa- triot that has filled the Presidential office since Washington—when the nation, just arising from the brink of the grave into a new and a better life, thanked God that the Secretary of State was saved. Who engaged so earnestly in the great and " irrepressible conflict" between slavery and freedom as - William H. Seward, of New York I Who stirred up the great hear'. of the West so effectively as he 7 The prairies heard him and the flowing rivers, and they nobly answered his appeals. 'There is not a graveyard in all the South where the bones of our country's sacred martyrs lie that does not bear witness to the eloquence or hit,' who told the people to do right, to love liberty , t o vote for free thought and free speech, and to trust to Almighty God for the consequon- ces. There is no man in this great countr:i, of ours braver in mere words tha'n yourself: aril it is hardly too much to say, there is no man in this country tours cloy:frilly in ;Lo tion. You are, and ever have been, afraid to inset and grapple with the consequences of your own at guments and appeals Feu aroused the people to that height of enthu siasm for the cause of liberty which made civil war almo4 inevitable, and mad, them ready to sacrifice their lives in your behalf; and yet, when, as Secretary of State i(nritY Mr. Lincoln—and I fear that word "under" touches your pride, true or false—you knew that. our flag had been fired upon in the har bor of Charleston, that our forts and arse nals had been seized, it was you who insist ed, against the common sense of your Presi dent and your colleagues in the Cabinet, that there was no war, and that we must have no war, because war would inevitably destroy the Union. Had your heart, in April, 1861, been as sound as your head was in October, 1800, When your stirred up the patriotism of the West, you would have been before such men as Jenekes, of Rhode Is land, Butler and Ban ks, and Wade and Chandler, and even Johnson, of Tennes,ee, in calling your countrymen to arms. You did no such thing. You are cue,clan. of' the fact that you impeded rather' than aided President Lincoln, " who still rules our spirits from his urn ;" that you were afraid of war, afraid of rebels, afraid of Northern Copperheads, afraid of England and cf France, afraid to try to settle the irrepres sible conflict by the, arbitrament of the sword, afraid to meet the legitimate results of your own teachings—at cowardly and, shuf fling defender of your own avowed princi ples. War came, notwithstanding yotir Astor- House—l might say vinous—prophecies. The arms of Union soldiers were blessed by the good God ; the prayers of our martyred President were answered ; the good old flag waves triumphantly everywhere. While the war was in progress, you were loft to the almost exclusive management of our foreign affairs. In the midst of the turmoil we were willing to pass by your short-comings in si lence. Now we can say that your adminis tration partook largely of your mental and moral character—it was weak and cowardly. You answered the vindictive 'and selfish policy of Great Britain in the equipment of the Sea King—the Alab a—and a dozen less destructive pirates, With wordy despatch es and inconsequential remonstrance. You knew the facts of each case, and you might have known that the country would have sustained you had you demanded immediate action on the part of the British Govern ment to detain these vessels, with war as the only alternative; but, on the contrary, you sealed the lips of our ministers at the courts of London and Paris, and the whole matter resulted merely in mutual requests to "ac cept assurances of most distinguished con sido'i•ation." You may have forgotten the interesting histories of the cruises of the Alabama and the Shenandoah. Lot us assure you the story yet holds a place in the memories of the people. Only last December the Presi dent of the United States and•the Secretary of the Navy, in the message of the one and the report of the other, took especial care to remind the people of the outstanding debt against Great Britain. What have you done or what do your propose to do in regard to the liquidation of this debt? Now is the time to make demands. Forgot that Sir Frederick Bruce is your personal friend for a moment, forgot that you drink each other's' healtlis with your logs under the same ma hogany, and remember that the Liborids of England are essentially ,defeated ; that wo have no sympathy with a Government or guniied with the Earl, of Derby at its head ; that orir friends have gone down,' and that. liberal ideaS have gone, down with thole ;' that - England, an,arinekor'unarrried nrin c triCis weak ;' that we are - strong is the time to, demand and to obtain safisfao-- tion. If you represent the American pet), ple,.you .Will_ speak i oory.l_ _lf_ you remain simply William H. Seward, you will remain silent until you receive positivo advices from New York 'through Mr. Thurlow Wood. That -the 'golden opportunity for,. redress is now, no. Inman his senses can deny.' Per haps you wilt 'discuss this matter with the distingiaishod Itepresontatavo of her 'Britan nic Mojestylit year:ll6# social .mooting. If you. have' heretofore. Acant anything like what you have:said why do ,you'euffor .the eoldiers' .Of the French' Emperor; . the direptrid, • Of DoineCietie libctrty 14-4uropo,. Ain' t° hold a, great . and itiaidlY poOfaci fin Lt• bondage in Mexico? Our people aro ready to sustain you, though you should instruct Mr. Bigelow to insist that every French sol dier should leave Mexico within ninety days. Franco cannot reply, except in acquiescence. She cannot go to war with the United States on the Mexican question without involving herself in revolution, which would inevitably hurl the blood-stained conspirator who now rules her from his ill-gotten throne; and thus would be revenged the murdered inno cents of Paris, through whose warm blood Louis Napoleon marched to Imperial power. Mr. Secretary, for the sake of the country, and your own reputation, do not talk any more about the Monroe doctrine, but in the name of justice, liberty, in the sacred name of God, act upon that doctrine, and stop the flow of blood in Mexico. Will the Count be offended ? With due respect to that gen tleman we can say to him that he can take his chagrin to Paris and lay it at the foot of the Imperial throne. We are bound to SUR tai n the Mexican Republic, and the people are willing to fulfil all their obligations. Five hundred thousand volunteers could be found in a month to drive every French, sol dier from the soil of Mexico. 11. 11. D Mr. Secretary, while we, the people, ad mitthe wisdom of f he.advice of Washing ton, that we should not entangle ourselves by foreign alliances, we are satisfied Hint WO need, and must have, a well-defined foreign 'Riney.. The question is not, shall we have Itp diey, but what shall that policy be? You are nut expected to answer this question ; upon foreign affairs it is perfectly well un derstood that yore• policy is contained in the maxim keep things as they are," and "at any expense ,f dignity or interest keep out of trouble;" but the people entertain a very different idea; the nation collectively is not a coward, it belleyeii in the Monroe urh to l band° 11 llt secret features, and join ~pen organiza tion in every ward, townNiiip and bor,,ugh in cur county. Such a inoveinent will ry ,lrengtli and power at home, inspire eon fidenee,lnd wield moral influence abroad. I?esolverl . That NVO are equally hostile A,bolitionifzts North and tiffeessionisht South. We regard both alike as tending to the sump results : one is the openly avowed edvi.eat. of a separate C'ontederacy ; the other the advocate of principles which must inevita bly end there. Res i 1 ed. That we, regard the Emaneipa ,m Pmelainati,m,thel:,,,n,cripti,,n La \V, 1111.1 C.)1 , 11-eati. , n Its C(e"rhi tional; but while we pledge Our united el . forts to test them in all legal modes within our reach, wo will not infringe upon in violate any law, whatever may be our pres ent opinions, until it is pronounced by the proper judical authorities to Isis null and void. It is better to bear many grievance•- at temporary character, than to plunge cm! country - into amirchy, ending in militar\ despotism, and destroying all our hopes for the future. Resiihrit. That resistance by force to an evasion of our personal freedom is a vr tae; and if the insane threat of a distin guished military chieftain (distinguished more for the position he holds than for achievements in arms) to put his heel upbn. the neck of Northern men, be attempted be carried out, we promise him a warm re 'ception. In order to allay any undue (wit,- ment, however, that might be occasioned this threat, we deem it proper to add that as this same authority has informed us that we aro not to be molested until the rebel, aro filet subdued, we arc of opinion judging front past progress, that the present genera lion at the North can hardly feel themselves interested in the question. Resolved. That we recommend open or ganizations in every township, ward and borough in our county, in order to sustain the Constitution, the Union tthd the laws, and at the same time to resist every en croachment upon our personal rights and freedom, guacnuteed by that instrument and those laws. Resolved. That we are inflexibly and un alterably devoted to the Constitution and the Union, with such additional guarantees as may protect the rights of minorities from all future aggression. IVe do not approve of this War as at present conducted. NEVER DID APPROVE OP ST IN ITSELF, but accepted it in preference to disunion, an archy and do.VotiSm under pledges, that it should be conducted solely with a view to the restoration of the Union. These pled ges have boon broken, the war is converted into an abolition crusade, and we are free from any obligations, except those of obedi ence to law. Resolved. That We will patieittly wait di( progress of events, until power passes from the hands of the present Adtninistration under the forms of law. We will continue to urge upon Congress and upon the States the repeal of all unconstitutional acts, and the' calling of a National Convention . to 'ainand the constitution. If , thee°. fail, our hives centre iii the . sovereipi rightS - of State. of Pennsylvania mid in order that she may be prepared to exercise those rights. we urge upon our fellow citizens the necessi tyof organization, the Bela:tip:: and elec tion of ear ablest and best mon fur Govern. nor and Legislators and in. the meantiine, we have no torms•of. pence. to offer to any quarter, except upon, •the 'basis of reunion. It will ho observed that the pervading spirit of •these resolutioOsi though specious ly worded, was oxpresSiyoLof the, most bitter hostility to the „then "ft . .ll.l4thorities of ilte United Slates,'" and, of .a determination on the•part . rof the, Tory Democracy • of •perjqi county, to resist hazards and reg.l,l - . .eonsequences," any •,enorOachmenG , upon,lyhat they, *ill their 4!:conslilutional • With" or the right to resist the Govern. meet and aid the Rebels. The resolutions also declare, in effect : 1. That "secret political societies,"— (meaning the Hlnights.')organized to sub vert the Government, had a right to the protection of the Government, which if it (the Ooickfinlent)'failed to give, they (the' Democracy of Berks) pledged themselves to furnish to the extent of their power! 2. The ~E mancipation Proclamation, the Conscription law, and the Confiscation acts," were "clearly unconstitutional,"'and there fore of no binding force so far as they (the Copperheads of Berks) Were concerned 3. That they do not approve of the IVar as at present (then) conducted; aneTHAT THEY NEVER DID APPROVE OF IT TN ITSELF II NO. 31 That as the War for the Union was not conducted to suit them, they were 'free from any obligations" to assist in prosecu ting it to a successful issue I 5. That they were in favor of a National Convention to amend the Constitution so as to suit the Rebels! And that failing in this, should they succeed in electing their Candi date for Governor—(liester Clymer being at that time a candidate before the people for that office, the Copperhead Convention having not yet made the nomination,) and, the Legislature at the coming of fall elec tion of 1863, it wns their purpose "to assert the sovereign right of the State of Pennsyl vania,' the plain meaning of which N 11.9 to do just, what the Rehel States had already done—lierecle from the National Union, and unite Pennsylvaulik,ufqh the Jeff: Davis Government.' —lt will be noted further, that while the resolutions were expressive of the bitterest hostility to the United States Government, there was not a word said against the Gov ernment of Jett. Davis—not a syllable of commendation or encouragement to the three or four thousand gallant soldiers of Berks , ou lay, fighting the battles of the Union, then m the field ! After the reading of the resolutions above quoted, and their unanimous adoption, ns t: por te , thin most infamous Tory Meeting .vas addressed by the lion.

All the officers of that MAO ,haloll resigned, or were dismissed iron' their places under Government, last spring.

This while men have been holding lucrative places here, with suns in the Rebel army all the time of the war, and wives and daughters openly, boastfully in sympathy with the Rebellion, and they themselves, trimming their words without disguising their approbation of such sympathy.'

One example of the use made of smell appointments here. There is a Mary land woman in the Post Office who, has been in the habit, while holding a clerkship there, of speaking of President Lincoln as "old Lincoln the ape," and Secretary Stanton as "Stanton the beast," of Union soldiers as "Lincoln's rabble," and who was once car ried drunk, out of a theatre 'here since her appointment, and against whom those, and other similar facts, have been proved by af fidavit, of respectable witnesses, and the proof laid before Post Makter Dennison, and by hint referred to ASsistant Post Master General Randall, and the women retained.
