Ito the editor of the New York Tribune
his opinion in regard to'the restoration
of "the Union as it was." Hear what
he says :
' It is painful to, me, a Southern slave
holding man, to read and hear what I
do coming from the Northern press and
people. That conciliatory feeling which
has always characterized the North, has
led the people of the South into the er
ror that you were all a set of cowards,
and would kneel at any and every bur
den they should see fit to put upon you.
When a slave ran away from his master,
who went to catch him 2 Did hie master
go ? Not at all, or, if he did, it was with
a pack,of hounds for sport, as he would
the fox or bear. Oh ! no , he would sit
as quiet as ever over the loss of a negro
until he met with a Northern man, and
then his blow was unequaled. If his
neighbor happened to step in, there are
ten chances to one he would not think
enough ofthe circumstances of the es
cape of his negro to tell him, if he, too,
was a Smathern,man ; if he did, it would
be with a chuckle that "he would be re
turned by these Northern hounds of curs,
whose business it isi 'by law' to catch,
and return my negroes,'
I take it that a man who has no more
res,pect for himself than to run after my
negroes fora few paltry dollars, or who
is anxious for in, opportunity of doing so,
exhibits far less good sense than . those
negross, 'and is worthy only of my most
supreme contempt, which he abundantly
enjoys. You , have , never heard a South
ern slaveholder use such language before,
but I say it in all sincerity.
There are many in the North who are
anxious to see.the "Union as it was."—.
I,Bay, God spare me any such Union.—
The fact that it is disrupted now, proves
conclusively that there was no Union.
And,,a4mitting it was, can any one not
see the same state of affairs will, in time,
b, brought about 7.
hclaim : to. be as , largely interested in
slaves, pecnninrily, as any man, with a
feiv exceptions, whp ever lived in this
State, and seldom go upon the streets of
Alexandria' or Washington without
meeting them. They are gone I I ask
no remuneration, except the establish
ment ckf , a free Republican Government,
that wilt endure for all ; time, and to
those anxious to enact laws for their re
turn, and others who are looking to the
reward, that more contempt than credit
is due you ; andif tech reward is suffi
cient hereafter, your compensation shall
be tenfold that youreceived before the
war. trot these few remarks may
teach•some your people to respect
themselves, and, by their action, make
us respect yon.
eir The Catskill Recorder relates
the following,: ---".A. , few - days since, we
heard a little, three-year -old speculating
in gleeful anticipations of Christmas,
but a slight shadow - momentarily dark
ened-her little brow as she thoughtfully
propounded the inquiry, 'Mamma,
mebbe- Santa Claus was drafted !' A
negative‘aseufanne, however, soon dis
pelledfth&aloud, and the pirouette of
little white curls joyfully progressed."
A gentleman of the old school in
one of the horse.cars the other day gave
his seat up to a lady`who failed to make
the PiopeinCknowledgement. Standing
awhile after the car had moved on, he
stooped as if to listen, add said to her,
"What did you say, madam v , "Noth
ing, sir," was 'the reply of the startled
Ind y. "Oh," said he, "excuse me ;
leafy thought you nal4 "Thank'se."

down the shutters before there is some
