Messrs. Grken. Armstrong and IIolowell:
Gentleman Yours of tbe 4th inst- has
just been received. Tbe few remarks I
hare made on the present occasion have
been hastily prepared and not designed for
publication, bucn as they are, however, you
ate welcome to them, and the original copy
is hereby transmitted, hoping the spirit,
if not the letter, will be as well received
by the public at large as they apparently
have been by the people here assembled.
a ours, truly, i
. Jxo. Hue.
I ;Ladies and Gentlemen " Know thyself,"
a scriptural injunction, and at this
period of our national existence in these
times of anxiety and domestic trouble, it
behooves every true patriot to apply it to
himself, and seriously reflect ou its full
import.
It is not my purpose, on this occasion,
to dwell with particular emphasis on the
past history of our beloved country to
refer to tbe noble deeds of daring the
self sacrificing fpirit the devotion and
Iutriotism of our forefathers in establish
ing the independence and renown of our
beloved country; to dwell upon and paint
iu glowing colors their good deeds, and
plume ourselves with their noble work,
whilst we may be comparatively destitute
of their virtues, and unworthy to eniov
the rich legacy they bequeathed to us.
lhey now are nioulderini; in the quiet
sepulchre, and the white marble denotes
their re-sling places. When we turn our
faces in one direction, the rising sun paints
in its bright morning beams the summit
of iiunker Hill, where now quietly repose
the heroic dead who fought and bled in
our behalf. When we cast our eyes in
another direction they ret on the sacred
soil of Mount Vernon, whose green sward
is nourished by the decaying manes of the
immortal " Father of his Country ;"' and
the proud and lofty obelisks of such men
as the Sumpters, the Marions, the Mont
gomeries, the I'ula-kis, the DeKalbs, and
hosts of other worthies are scattered all
over our beloved land, as shining uionu
ments of the past of the greatness and
glory of their deeds; and of which we
we may well be proud if but one feeble
ray of tho brigtit l.n!o that urruui.ds
them may shine upon the last resting
places of the great and good of our day
and generation.
But their noble deeds will have been in
vain, if we are unfaithful in the keeping
of the precious tase so richly adornvd by
their works. Tny were equal to the cir
cumstanccs, and the day, and the hour
that surrounded them! Are we, their
legitimate cll-pring and successors, equal
to the t!jy and the hour that surrounds
us? In other governments the heroic
deeds and the noble daring of the ances
tors attach to and improperly descei.d
to the child and family. Many a woithy
lord and noble peer, whose bones have
ling since relumed lo the mother caitlit
furnishes the pride and boast of a long
line of unwoilhy and degenerate sons.
Their long mantles furnish, -r Rcem to
fiii'i.i-h, a gilded robe for all manner of
un wort hin ss fe-tcred ull over with the
corruptions of tho state, aui against w hich
the people may war in vain. The more
enfeebled and debased the individual or
state become.-, the more reliance is .laced
on what others have done. Let us not tqo
strongly rely on what our forefathers did
for us. Whilst their sainted spirits are
inhabiting the abodes of the blessed, it
becomes us indeed often and proudly to
n r. . .. ... i .... .. ........ ....... i . -, . i r

devotion to the great work they had
before them ; but we should also remem
ber that, to be worthy of such sires, we our
selves must nobly perform the work sot
before us They are gone, and a cloudless
immortality is theirs. We are the living
inheritors of the fruits of their hard and
earnest toil, and to be worthy of the
priceless legacy, let us endeavor at least
to imitate it we cannot excel in all that
made them great and good.
Our revolutionary forefathers, and the
great statesmen that followed immediate
ly after them, laid the foundation, and
successfully carried through all trials and
tribulations, the administration of our
government, maintaining, with but oneJor
two exceptions comparatively uuimport
ant, peace among ourselves and with the
whole world, l'eace and prosperity, such
as the world had never witnessed, and
the most ardent hardly anticipated, sur
rounded us on every side. The commerce
of our nation visited every sea; the handi
work of our artizans was found in almost
every clime; the busy hand of honest in
dustry filled the land with pleasant music,
and never had a people felt so little the
aching burthens usually incident to a
great and powerful government Quiet
anil plenty surrounded us on every side,
so that, indeed, our great success dazzled
our eyes, and in wild bewilderment our
brains reeled and were filled with
restless thoughts. Old and timely admo
nitions of the great and good that had
preceded us were carelessly thrown aside,
and new ideas usurped the lawful abode
of calm and enlightened counsels; and,
like a proud vessel on the wide and angry
deep, we set all our canvass lo the gale
which now blows and rocks the mighty
ship of state well nigh to wreck and ruiu.
We may well fear that in tbe end our
unlimited prosperity has proved our rum.
Man to-day is the same restles and usurp
ing tyrant that ho ever was. lie has only
modified his designs by the circumstances
that surround him. 'I he came love bf
power that incited a Tamerlane to lay
waste vast empires by lire and sword, st
I '
we lack evidence of this, the great rebel
lion nor desolating our land furnishes
ample proof for the most skeptical. When
men are so lost to all the memories of the
past so dead and callous lo all patriotism
aud love of country, as to calmly and sys
tematically plot, as well in the full ligjit
of day as the dead hours of the night, the
overthrow and dismemberment of the
besTi government that God in His goodness
ever gave to man, we may well assert tbtit
the human heart has not been much
enobled by the lapse of time, and that to
day it harbors tbe same lust of power that
in by-gone days animated the most reck
less in their wild greed after power at d
fame. This picture is not pleasing, b it
unmistakable truths are always stern, at d
may as well be uttered now as glossed
over and left for others to portray.
What do we now witness in our belovtd
land, where peace, unity, and concoid
onc3 reigned supreme, and challenged the
admiration of the world ? Strife dead y
strife ! blood and carnage 1 Father againBt
on, brother against brother, and even
mother against daughter. Domes made
desolate, and a withering blight fast over
shadowing our fair land One section
made desolate by the tramp of war, and
the stifling smoke of consuming fires
sweeping the land by the unholy torch
of the black incendiary ; the other groan
ing under tbe weight of blighted industry
and withered enterprise j of families and
homes made desolate, and unbora genera
tions burthened to their utmost limits to
shake off tbe weight now being placed
upon them. And why is this? What
great and lasting benefit is the human
family to receive by this awful sacrifice?
wnat great results are to be attained by
the fire and the 6word, that could not
nave oeen achieved by the quiet and
peaceful means of calm and patriotic coun
sels r iAit us patiently and patriotically
wan its termination. Jet us hope, at
least, that some unforeseen result may yet
bo' brought about that will not in vain
have cost the best blood ana precious
treasure of this people. The wise admo
nitions of our illustrious forfathers were
indeed uttered in vain if this dreadful
state of things could not have been avert
d by other means than tho dread resort
to desolating wars, the end whereof no
mortal man can see, and at the sight of
wuicu angels may well weep in pity and
sorrow.
When we refer to tho warning voice of
him wh was first in war, first in peace.
and first in the hearts of his countrymen,"
we have unmistakable premonitions of
the rocky beach aud troubled wateis that
threaten to engulf us. Had we cherished
that "cordial, habitual, and immovable
attachment to our Union that he urged
upon us; had we accustomed ourselves to
''speak of it as of the palladium of our po
litical safety and prosperity; watching fir
its preservation with jealous anxiety; dis
countenancing whatever may suggest even
a suspicion that it can in any event be
abandoned ; and indignantly frowned upon
the first dawning of everv attempt to
alienate any portion of 0111 country from
tne rest, or to enfeeble the sacred ties
which link together the various parts "
there might perhaps have been averted
that which now so fearfully atllict this

against this unnatural and unholy conflict :
the great Jackson there he sleeps, J
undist'.iibed,.let us hope, by the clash of!
arms aud the trump of nrnits, has left!
his warning voie? and patriotic counsels 1
on record. 1 shall read to you a brief!
extract from his Farewell Address to the
Am-rifau People. At no period of time i
could it be more usefully remembered j
than at the present. A quarter of a ceu
tury has elapsed sinc-i these burning
words were utteied. Let us still hope
that they may not be proved, in ihcir en
tirety, to have been prophetic, though
I confess to you that 1 have tears of the
result.
"It is true that cases may bf imagined
disclosing such a settled purpose of usur
pation and oppression, on the part of the
government, as would ju-tily an appeal to
arms. These, however, are extreme cases,
which wo have 110 rt-ason to apprehend in
a government where the power is in the
hands of a patriotic people ; and nocitizen
who loves bis country, would in any case
whatever resort to forcible resistance, un
less bo clearly saw that Ihe time had come
when a freeman should prefer death to
submission; for if such a struggle is once
began, and the citizens of one section of
the country, arrayed in arms ugainst those
of another, in doubtful conflict, let the
battle result as it may, there will be an
end of the I'nion, ind with it an end of
the hopes of freedom. Tho victory of the
injured would not secure to them the
blessings of libeity; it would avenge their
wrongs, but they would themselves share
in the common ruin.
"But tho constitution cannot be main
tained, nor tho Union preserved, in oppo
sition to public feeling, by the mere exer
tion of the coercive powers confided to the
general government. The foundations
must be laid iu the affections of the people ;
in the security it gives to life, liberty,
character, and property, in every quarter
of the country ; and in the fraternal at
tachments which the citizens of theseveral
states bear to one another, as members of
one political family, mutually contributing
to promote the happiness of each other.
Hence tbe citizens of every stato should
studiously avoid every thing calculated to
wound the sensibility or offend the just
pride of the people of other states ; and
they should frown upon any prcccdings
within their own borders likely to elisturb
the tranquillity of their political bre thren
in other portions of the I'nion. In a
country so extensive as the United States,
aiul with pursuits so varied, the internal
regulations of the several states must
frequently differ from one another in im
portant particulars; and this difference is
unavoidably increased by the varying
principles upon which the American colo
nies were originally planted ; principles
which had taken deep root in their social
relations before the revolution, and there
fore, of necessity, influence their policy
since they became free and independent
states. But each state has the unquestion
able right to regulate its own internal
concerns according to its own pleasure;
and while it does not interfere with the
rights of the people of other states, or the
rights of the Union, every state must be
the sole judge of that measure proper to
secure the safetyof its citizcusand promote
their happiness; and ll efforts on the
part of the people of oher states to cast
odium upon their institutions, and all
measures calculated to disturb their rights
of property, or to put in jeopardy their
peace and internal tranquility.are indirect
opposition to the spirit iu which the Union
was formed, and must endanger its safety.
Motives of philanthropy may be assigned
for this unwarrantable interference; and
weak men may persuade themselves for a
moment that they are laboring in the
cause ' of humanity, and asserting the
rights of the human race; but every one,
upon sober reflection, will see that nothing
but mischief can come from these improp
er assaults upon, the feelings and rights of
others. ' Rest assured, that the men found
busy in this work of discord are not
worthy of your confidence, and deserve
your strongest reprobation."
What burning words and startling
counsels have w e here I How truly he
says that causes may " be imagined, disclos
ing such a settled purpose of usurpation,
on the part of tho government, as would
justify an appeal to arms." Truly have
those now in rebellion against our gov
ernment only imagined that their rights
were impinged upon by the government.
Whatever may have been the threatened
purposes of a mere handful of people in
the Xorth and whatever may have been
the indications of even a large, majority
of the people of the North, no violent
hands had been laid upon their rights as
citizens or their equality as members of
this confederacy. True, much has been
said by our orators and the press that
might as well have been left unsaid ; but
in governments like this, subject to the
popular will, there was no great danger of
these wild and foolish threats being suc
cess lull y executed, or of being even
countenanced by the great mass of the
people. IVrhaps w e nihy have erred in
not more severely visiting with our con
demnation such men as have publicly
proclaimed that, "on certain conditions
they were willing to lt the Uniou slide."
or in having countenanced such wretches
as have publicly and boastfully proclaimed
that they had devoted " nineteen 3'ears of
their lives in endeavoring to overthrow
the government." Those fiery and im
petuous men of the South should have
remembered the imperishable word of
the great Jefferson, the author of the
Declaration of Independence just read in i
your healing, when he said : " If there lt '
Hoy amon j us v;ho would icisfi to dissutce tKix .
L ilian, or to rhaii j its republican fonn, let
tht.n st Hid und-stui htd as monuments of tlie
safety tilth a-hich error of opinion miy be tote
rated v heie rra.nn is Itjt free to ex-mtat it."
They should have remembered that tlipy,
Pk. were more than doubly guilty, and
had in the'r midst as vile wretches as a
j civilized ard christian people ever tole-
rated. lue wholesale assassination of
individual citiz'-ns for the mere utterance
ol political opinions differing from their
own; the brutal assault of on of their
1
mister spirits iu Congress on a Senator in
his seat; the vile epithets of "mudsills,
"dastardly northern cowards;'' and the
application of tar and feathers to those
who they fancied were not admirers of
their local governments or intitutiot.s, are
living evidences of their infamous base
ness and will live in history as the most
brutal acts ever committed by one civil'z?d
community against another. And should
this war, with all its hoirors, in any man
ner abate this cruel and barbarous system
of torture, it will not have been in vain.
But, filow citizens, ull of these things,
dark and ''.unliable as they are, do not
implicate the great mass of the people
either in th': North or la tne houtli.

his country must shudder at the thought
of the bare possibility of its dissolution,

sentiment: " Our Federal Union it must be

Wo should all remember that we are
human, and full of imperfections, and, in
exciting times like these, it requires more
than ordinary vicilance to conquer our
own prejudices. Meu may be placed in
power as rulers over us, against whom we
nave warred with all our might and in
fluence; yet this furnishes no ground for
apathy or indifference when the govern
ment itself is assailed When we elevate
to power good rulers and wise cousellors,
we share all the blessings of their wisdom
and calm deliberations; and in like man
ner, when we are less fortunate in our
choice, we must remember that the indi
viduals who administer our government
are not the government itself. They have
their brief day and pass away, and the
people have the corrective power in tlieir
own hands, and wiU, in the end, apply the
remedy. But the Government, . tee Un

the very thought.
The bare possibility of our being unable
to uphold our government, has already
filled the tyrants of the old world with de
light. We see with what indecent haste
the crowned heads of .Europe rush to dis
embowel the Republic of Mexico, in order
that they may gain a foothold on this con
tiuetit fur the advancement and perpetua
tion of their rotten and imbecile govern
ments. Three mighty nations make com
mon cause to overthrow a weak and help
less govermneut, on the pretext that a lew
anlliotis of money are not paid on demand.
But the whole world Knows that this sub
terfuge is not the cause of all this eager
ness to divide and parcel out this unfortu-1
nato aud teeblo government. Koom is
wanted for some imbecile dolt or new
fledged sprig of royalty to sway a sceptic
over a nation on this continent, in order
to overshadow tho vigorous growth of our
government and bring in 'contempt our
glorious institution. Our domestic trou
bles and internal broils have been seized
uj on as a fitting moment for these robbers
of the world to commence their depreda
tions. They fancy that our present weak
ness may prove the hour of their success.
Not only this. 1'or years and years
have they professed much hypocritical
anxiety tor the welfare of our country.

ted forth uuceasing strains against our
immorality and unchristian conduct.
Largely have they professed to sympathize

tho first to whet their swords and strike
