To the lia: Clerty and Laity of tlie Dm
Ci'se of Pittsburg :
An awful calamity has suddenly fallen
upon our beloved and ailiielcd country.
Our Chief Magistrate one so universally
loved, the chosen one of the people, the
idol of the nation, is taken away from
amongst us ami, alas! taken away by
lhe UUel l,ands of a wrclcl!e'1 !t!i.
In this the hour of our bereavement, it is
not then enough merely to give vent to
our grief, to bewail in sonow'a nation's
loss. We must, dearly "beloved brethren,
have recourse by prayer to the throne of
God, that He may look upon our altiicted
country with the eyes of mercy and love,
ccs which such an irreparable loss mi-hf
and avert from us all the evil consequcn
otherwise produce. We nmt pray for
our present- Chief -Magistrate, that his
auiniiiisirauon may oe conducted in ri" hte-
ousness, and bo eminently u-ful U?o,lr

dear country. We must pray for all the j
members of the Cabinet that God may '
enlighten them by I lis wisdom, ftrengthen
them by his power, and shield them bv
His protection. Hence, we do hereby
ordain that the prayers for our rulers and
civil authorities be most faithfully recited
in all the churches under our care ; and
do furthermore recommend the faithful in
their daily prayers to implore the blessings
of God upon our sorrowing country.

A Inciter from ltootti.
The following letter, written by John
Wilkes liooth, has found the light. It was
addressed to John S. Clarke, the brother-in-law
of the murderer, but has upon the
outside a superscription marked 44 J.
Wilkes I Sooth for safe keeping." It is
in the handwriting "of the assassin :
My Dkar S:k : You mny use this as
-ou think best. Put as some may wish
to know when, who and why, and as 1
know not how to direct, I give it (in the
worJs of your master.)
44 To WHOM IT MAY CONCKHX.".
Plight or wrong, God judge me, not
man. For be my motive good or bad, 01
one thing I am sure, the lasting condem
nation of the North.
1 love peace more than life. Have
loved the Union beyond expie.ssiwii. For
lour years have I wailed, hoped and pray
ed for the dark clouds to break, and for a
restoration of the brincr sunshine. To
wait longer would be a crime. All hope
for peace is dead. My prayers have
proved ;ia idle as my hopes. God's will
bo done. 1 go to see and share the bitter
end
I have ever hell the South were riht.
The very nomination of Abraham Lincoln,
four 3 ears ago, spoke plainly, war war
upon Southern lights and institutions.
I lis election proved it. 44 Await an overt
act." Yes, tiil 3-011 are found and plun
dered. What folly ! The South w as
wise. Who thinks of argument or pa
tience when the finger of his enemy pres
ses the trigger? In a foreign war I, loo,
could say, ' country-, right or wrong."
Hut in a struggle suct ours (where the
brother tries to pierce the brother's heart.)
for God's sake choose the right. When
! a country like this spurns justice from her..
side she forfeits the allegiance of every
hones: freeman, and should leave him,
up.trameled by any fealty soever, to act as
Ins cuii.-ciencc may approve.
People of t Le Noiiii, to hate tyranny-,
to luve liberty and justice, to strike at
wn r.g and oppression, was the teaching:
of our lathers. The study of our early
hi-t.-ry whl hut kt tuc for--et ii and mav it
never.
This ?cu:itry was formed for the
1 not ii.r l!i3 black man. And looking upon
1 Aj no.ni s axry irom the same stand-point
J helil by the noble framers of our Consti-
tail n, 1, for one, have ever considered it
i on ; of the ervatest bl'inns (both for
themselve-, an J us) that G d ever be.-tovv-ed
upon a lavored nation.' Witness herc
tolore our wealth and power : witness
their t!tv:itio:i suid enlightenment above
their i ace elsewhere. I have lived among
it most of my life, and have seen less harsh
treatment from master to man than I have
beheld in the North from father tom.
1 1, Heaven knows, no one would be
wiihe.g to do more for the negro race than
I, could 1 but see a way to sliil better
their condition.
lt Lincoln's policy is only preparing
the way lor their total annihilation. The
South are not, nor have they been light
ing fjr the continuance of slavery. The
first battle of Pull Him did away with the
idea. I heir causes since for war have
been as iu.hle and greater far, than thorc
that urged niir fathers on. Even should
we allow they were wrong r.i the begin
ning ol this contest, cruelty and injustice
have made the wrong become the right,
and -they stand now (before the wonder
and admiration uf tj. World) as a noble
band of patriotic, heroes.' Hereafter, read
ing of their deeds, Thcrniopyhe will be
forgotten.
W hen I aided in the capture and exe
cution of John lhovvn (who was a mur
derer on our Western border, and w ho
was fairly tried and convicted, before an
impartial judge and jury, of treason, (and
who, by the way, hn. sice been made a
god,) I was proud of my little share in the
transaction, for I deemed it my duty, and
that I was helping our common country
to perform an act of justice. Put what
was a crime in poor John Prown is now
considered (by themselves) as the greatest
and only virtue of the whole Kepublican
parly. Strange transmigration ! Vice to
become a virtue, simply, because more in
dulged in it.
I thought then, as nou; that the Alioli
tionists were the oy traitors In the land,
that tlie entire party deserved the same
fate of poor old lirown, not because (hat
they wish to abolish slavery but on ac
count of the means thev have" ever endea
vored to use to efiect "that abolition. If
Prown were living, I ,ouut whetlier he
imnsrlf would set slavery against lhe
I nion. Most or many ,'n theNorth do,
and openly curslhe zr,,lc rif,t guarantied
to ihem by every tie which we once re
vered as sacred. The South can make no
choice. It is either, extermination or sla
very for thetnaehn (worse than death) to
draw from. I know my choice
I have also studied hard to discover
upon what grounds the right of a State to
secede has been denied, when our very
name, Uniled States, and the Declaration
of Independence, Loth provide for Seces
sion, liut there no time for words. I
write in haste. I know how Jo.ili.-h f
shall be deemed lor undertaking si;ch a
step as this, where, on the one side, I have
many friends and everything to make me
happy, where my profession alone has
gained me an income more t!::"i twenty
thousand dollars a year, and whro my
great personal ambition in mv pio"-.-ioii
has such a great field for labor. On the
ether hand, the South have never be-tow-ed
upon nie one kind word ; a place now
where I h-ye no friends, except beneath
the sod ; a place w here I must either In
come a private solder or a beggar. To
give up all the fornur lcr 1 he Iti! ;-, be
sides my mother and sisters whom I have
so dearly (although they so wid ly dilfer
with me in opinion), seems insane ; but
God is my judge. I love Jut-tax more
than I do a country thaldisow ns.it : more
than fame .and wealth; ru ne (Heaven
pardon me if wrong) than a happy home.
I have never been upon a battle-field but
O, my countrymen, could you all but see
the reality or ctieets of this horrid war, as
I have seen ihem (in every Slate, save Vir
ginia), I know you think hke in, ami
would pray the Almighty to create in the
Northern mind a sense of right and justice
(even should it possess no seasoning of
mercy,) and that He would dry up ihU
sea of blood between us, which is -daily
growing wider. Ala ! poor country, is
she to meet her threatened doom ? Four
years ago, I would have given a thousand
lives to see her remain (as I had always
known her) powerful and unbroken. And
even now 1 would hold my life as naught,
to see her what sh-? was. O my friends,
if the fearful scenes of the past four years
had never been enacted, or if w hat has
leen had been but a frightful dream, from
which we now could awake, with what
overflowing hearts couid we bless our God
and pray for his continued favor. How I
loved the fAd jlaa can never now be know n
iV few years since and the entire vvi.rld
could boast of none so pure and spotless.
Put I have of late been seeing and hear
ing of the blood y deeds of whirh he has
been made the emblem, and would .-iiiid-der
to think how changed fhe had grown.
O how I have longed to st e her break
from the mist of blo.l and d aiii that
circles round her folds, spoiling 1 Uantv
and tarnishing her hoivr. Ihit no, day
by day has she been dragged dev per and
deeper into cruelty and oppression, tiii
now (in mv eyes) her once brig' t red
stripes look like Hoo ly yag'tes on the fac-
of Heaven. I look i.ow upon my early
admiration of her glories as a dr. am.
My love (as thinjs siaud o.-day,; is i',.r
the South alone. Nor do I deem it a dis
honor in attempting to make far her a
prisoner of this man, to w hom sb? owes
so much of misery. If success att nds
me, I go penniless to her side. They say
she has found that "laslditeh" which
the North have so lon-jr derided, and h-vn
endeavoring to force her in, forgetting :h--v
are our brothers, and ili.it it is iui;K.!i:ie
to goid an enemy to madness. Should !

American people, with nnabaiing patriot

enemies of the Union will not lose the
present opportunity for discouraging the
hopes of loyal 1110:1. It is their purpose
now to disparage the new President, and
augur illy of his course. We admonish
them to beware in time. They have al
ready instigated the assassination of Pres
ident Lincoln, and now they seek to de
stroy the power of his successor by half
disguised words of treason. let them,
we repeat, take timely warning lest they
be required to emulate the cow ardly flight
of Pooth. At no period within the last
four years was the duty of patriotic men
more urgent than now to stand unfalter

We believe that the day of peace is near
at hand, when our blessed Union will be
re-established on the broad and endurL
basis. The. great work of rcstoratyfT is
in progress, and let every man wlloves
