' '< >L James M. Smith
Dear 8ir—We arc beginning to look
about for somo one on whom to bestow our
votes for congressional honors. Your name
ia mentioned and strongly urged in some
quarters in that connection. We therefore
propose to propound to you certain questions
and j f our answers, though they will be held
ns strictly confidential, will determine our
luturc course. We desire an early answer,
that wo may go to work. We see the peo
ple of North Carolina are running candi
dates for Congress upon the question of the
appointment of commissioners by Congress
to negot iate with the U. 8. Oort, for peace.
It they should succeod in electing such
members, and they move in Congress for
the appointment of such commissioners,
•vill you favor or oppose the more? and for
"'bat reasons V Arc you in favor of a prop
osition for peace being made by the South?
or arc you for fighting on until the proposi
tion comes from the North? A conserva
tive meeting will he held in Clayton county
"ii Saturday next, at which something may
b‘‘ sai l about u congressional candidate.
Wc are tired of the war, and want it stopped
ou some terms, and if your answers suit us
von may calculate upon our support if you
m».
1'lease answer as soon as you can make
it convenient, and oblige,
Yours truly,
A. O. MURRAY.

Camp 13th Ga. Reg., near Orange )
Court-house, Y.v, Aug. 18,1833. )
Mr. A. (). Murray :
8rn: Your letter of the 7ih inst., stating
that my name is mentioned, and strongly
urged in some quarters, in connection with
i ho approaching Congressional election in
the Seventh District of Georgia, and pro-
pounding certain questions and requesting
my answers thereto, has been received. I
icivo little time to give to the preparation of
hi answer, and must be brief.
1 have been absent from Georgia over a
v< ii, and during much of the time have been
i> -i mated as uot to be able to hear from my
i tiuily even. 1 am entirely uninformed as
io the questions which will entei into the
< mv r i for members of CCongrcss, in my
Hate hut believing it to be one of tg
<>f the voter, to bo informed of the opinions
■ i-.indidatca who ask the people to elect
them t<» ofllce, upon all questions involving
the public welfare. 1 unhesitatingly send
you iho following answers to your questions,
Hy way of inducement to your questions’
you say that, “Wo see the people of North
(’aroliua are running’candidates for Congress
upon the question of the appointment of
Commissioners by Confess, to negotiate
with the l . 8. Government for peace.” I
was not aware, until I read your letter, that
such an issue as that mentioned had been
made before the people of any State in the
t -onfederacy. You fail to say how the ques-
tion has been presented in North Carolina,
whether the candidates you state to be run
ning there hold that in the present aspect of
<mr a fairs Commissioners ought to be ap
pointed, or whether it is supposed that some
contingency may arise be tore the meeting of
Congress which will render it proper to ap
point Commissioners. 1 infer, however, from
your letter, taken altogether, that you desire
me to say whether I am in favor of the ap
pointment of Commissioners to negotiate
with the V. 8. Government for peace in our
jmsrut situation? My answer to this ques
tion is, I am not in favor of the appointment
«.i such Commissioners, situated as we are
•it present. You desire that I should give
my reasons. They are briefly as follows:
The wflT is arjyremce upon tho part of the
North. lletbre its commencement, it was
authoritatively made kuown to tho Lincoln
< lovcrnmenf, that we desired that our sepa-
ation should ho peaceful, aud that we were
ready and anxious to make an amicable ad
justment of all matters out of which ques
tions might arise to disturb the friendly re
lations of. the .wo countries. Our proposi
tion was treated with silent contempt. I
will not stop now to demonstrate to a Soutli-
ern-born man that the North is responsible
lor the lirst blow. Since the war began, our
Government lias, in all honorable ways,
made known to the enemy’s Government
that wc are anxious for peace; that all we
desire or ask of them is to be left alone, in
the enjoyment of the right of self govern
ment. Oar enemies kn&w before a blow was
..truck, ihnt war would not be made by us
upon them except in self-defence. Their
Government has known all tho while that
Hostilities would cease upon the instant it
should appear that the war was uot intended
to be an aggressive one upon the part of the
North. Notwithstanding all this, their ar
mies have invaded our country, and still oo-
i upy large portions of it. Their brutal sol.
diery with the full approval of their Govern
ment, have destroyed the property of our
■peaceful citizens, stolen our slaves and mur
dered our people. In many cases women
!i ivc been violated, and feeble old ago and
Helpless infancy have alike been driven from
'he shelter of home to be fed, clothed and
> ;red for by strangers.
As the war lias progressed, the unjust and
'“-holy purposes for the accomplishment of
•■• aich it was waged against us, have been
IJy developed; aud we are advertised that
" v ran have peace only upon the condition
I unqualified submission to the Waahing-
n Government. As Jesuits from this sub-
we are notified that our slaves are
' ’ he emancipated, our principal citizen#
ined over to tho executioner, and our
s '-ales reduced to the condition of Terr it o-
if Commissioners were appointed by
>3 to treat with the enemy for peace, what
** Proposition could we make through them
which would be accepted ? Clearly none,
except unconditional submission. I am not
ready for that, and more I intend never to
be. I may live to see my country conquered.
I will not live to consent to its degradation.
Just here permit me to ask: Are you ready
to submit to Lincoln ? Are there Georgians
ready to crawl to bis feet, and with less than
the spirit of whipped hounds, to pray for
such mercy to their viie bodies, as he may
see fit to grant ? Are there those who would
be willing to see their proud old common
wealth degraded—stript of its sovereignty
and converted into Yankee plantations un
der the control of “American citizens of
African descent” who had proved their
loyalty to “the best Government on earth”
by the murder of their former masters?—
I trust you will answer—there are none
such in Georgia. If there be such, let me
say to them that, they have no sympathisers
in the army. Georgia has beon more fully
represented, in the bloodiest battles of the
war, than, perhaps, any other State. Every
battle field is red with the blood of her
children. We have seen our comrades fall
by scores and hundreds, always with their
faces towards their country’s enemies, and
the shout of defiance upon their lip3. They
knew well how to die in defense of Georgia’s
honor—they did not know how to submit to
her vile oppressor; and by God’s blessing
their survivors shall grapple the foe wher
ever they meet him; and will -nraerprove
falso to a cause baptized with their brothers
blood. While giving my reasons, it may
not be amiss to state that I can never be
brought to consent to a “reconstruction” of
the Union, I will never consent to take to
my bosom tho men whose hands are red
with the murder of my kinsmen. I feel
that an ocean of blood separates us from
them. 1 cannot love them.
But what, you ask, do you propose to do ?
Iritis brings me to answer your second and
third questions. You desire to know wheth
er I am in favor of a proposition for peace
being made by the South ? or am I in favor
of fighting oa until the proposition comes
from the North ? The first of these ques
tions has been already fully answered,
answer the last by saying that I am in favor
of fighting on, and on, forever, unless the
North withdraws its armies from our coun
try, and leaves us In tho quiet possession of
all the rights of a free people.
While we have one acre of ground to
stand upon, or one platoon of men; or wo
men either, to lire a gun, I would fight in
such a quarrel. And let me say that this is
the spirit which animates the soldiers of the
Confederate armies. We know more of the
horrors of war than you do. We have suf
fered more than you have. We have stron,
er reasons than you have, to be tired of the
war. We expect in the future, as we have
in the past, tc Suffer from hunger and thirst,
from heat and cold, from fatigue and naked
ness, and think it altogether likely that we
shall fall in the carnago of battle, at last;
but we know what wo fight for, and we are
willing, if need be, to purchase our coun
try’s liberties with our own blood. If the
timid or treacherous are tired of the war, or
would submit, let them go to lands where
submission to tyranny is no dishonor. There
can be no peace here so long as one arm.ed
abolitionist is upon Southern soil. This is
no empty boasting. The men of our armies
are in earnest. They intend that their coun
try shall be free, and they do not intend that
the counsels of wily politicians, nor the
timidity of faint hearted patriots at home,
shall divert them from that purpose.
I trust you understand me. If yourself,
and those you seem to represent, are in favor
of submission to Lincoln, then permit me to
say I would not be your fit representative in
Congress. If you desire a policy inaugura
ted which would result iu the abatement of
one jot or tittle of our utmost efforts to se
cure olir independence, then I am not your
man. You should vote for some else if you
can find him. You say my answers “ shall
Xi e held in strict confidence by you.” Per
mit me to say that I cannot become a party
to such a confidence. It is tho right of all to
know the opinions expressed by me to you,
on the subjects briefly touched upon in this
letter. I shall, therefore, send a copy of this
letter, together with a copy of your letter,
to the “ LaGrange Reporter,” and “Atlanta
Intelligencer,” for publication.
1 am, sir, very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
JAMES M. SMITH.
