fer both slavery and secession; de
clares that the North compels all

was a crime ; and J proclaims that

SENATOR IIIU.’S LETTER.
Washington, OeL 157 1879.—
Dear Mr. Chittenden : I have read
your open letter addressed to myself
and published in the Tribune of the
4th instant. You were entitled to the
courtesy of a prompt reply, but divers
engagements have worked a delay
which I know vonr good nature will
pardon. I ant glad yon are getting
well of your physical hurt, and con
gratulate you on your escape.
I have made no summer speeches
in Georgia. I made a few remarks
very unexpectedly at Tammany hall
on tlie 4th of July, and it must be to
this speech yau refer as I have made
no other during the summer, or since
the adjournment ofCongrsss. I have
been quietly, but with more than
usual solicitude, watching the course
of political events, and have been
studying to understand as accurately
as I could the real temper of the
North toward the South and the con
stitution, together with the cause, the
tendency and the probable final effect
of tlie temper upon our sectional rela
tions and governmental institutions.
However much we may differ on some
questions of policy, 1 believe you will
do me the justice to admit that I atn
in the habit of speaking, when I
speak at all, precisely what I think on
subjects. The impression made up
on tny mind by the study alluded to
is not a pleasant one. I will frankly
say that at no period of ottr nuion, as
it seems to me, have the northern
people so greatly or so unjustly dis
trusted the sontTiern people, nor do I
think there ev. r was a generation of
the North who so little understood
the constitution or so little regarded
that constitution as onr bond of un
ion. I do not mean to lie offensive,
hut I do mean to be candid, when I
say that to berate and misrepresent
the South and to misinterpret and ig
nore the constitution seeut to be the
two subjects which absorb the hearts
and minds of the Republicans of the
North, and to which all other sub
jects are held as subordinate. Your
own letter furnishes strong confirma
tion of ibis sad fact. You say:
“Your (my?) candidate for governor
—who is an excellent man, by the
way—says that the election (in New
York( ‘concerns only State affairs.,
but everybody laughs at hint for say
ing it.’’ What! laugh at a matt for
saying that State officers are elected
to attend onlyjto State affairs? You
go on: “The common feeling seems
to be t hat the election is not only of
national interest, but that it is also
the final battle with rebellion; the cli
max of bitter sectional strife, and
probable gateway to comparative
good feeling and assured national
prosperity.’’ Battling with rebellion
in a Slate election for only State offi
cers in New York nearly fifteen years
after the war has enefed? Pardon
me, my friend, but this fat exceeds
FalstafFs battle with his imaginary
but constantly increasing foes ‘in
buckram!’ Nevertheless yon stem
to write correctly the views of your
nnrtv in New York and through
orth. I attended a Republican
meeting in Cooper institute mi the
night of the 4tb instant—the night of
the day your letter appeared.
The meeting was cal’cd to ratify
the Republican nomination for State
officers. After some sensible remarks
by the chairman, we had two elabor
ate, evidently prepared, and, I will
add able speeches, as that word able
goes. In these two speeches made to
iielp tlie election of the State officers
there was not a single allusion to
Stale affaire. Not one. With a sin
gle exception (not a singular excep
tion, by the way) the poor, rebellious,
barbarious and so|td South was the
only • theme! Tins exception was
really noteworthy and commanded
my lull attention The speaker made
what he milled what he called a con
stitutional argument, in ahbh he un
dertook, in behalf of absolute nation
alism, to give a meaning to the con
stitution which 1 am sure never occur
red to its framers nor to any of the
great expound®™ of that instrument

son and, I fear, beyond remedy. I
see no evidence that the North “is
weary of sectional strife.” The Re
publican party lives on and thrives by
this sectional strife.' Bad men specu
late on it, and demagogues ply it as
the best means of getting office. You
say, : “If there lie anything so bedded
in our history that it can never be got
out ir is the fact that southern ideas
and southern mm have generally op
posed the American spirit as represent
ed by the people who pi titled and
tooted ottr institutions and thrift in
the hard and thorough discipline of
New England.’’
I had supposed that our thrift ns a
people was due to the abuudancc of
onr cheap fertile lands, the great vari
ety cf onr productions, the industry of
our people all protected and inspired
with hopeful vigor hy that unpreces
dented constitutional system ot dual
federal and local free governments
which Washington, Jefferson, Madi-
son, Pinckney, Rutledge and a great
number of southern men had much to
do in “planting and rooting” in this
country. I would abate not “one jot
or tittle’’ i f the credit to which New
England is entitled in this work. I
despise all sectionalism, whether
against the North or against the
South. I believe no one section of
this country is all virtuous or all vic
ious, and no one section exceeds the
other in either virtues or vices. But
if our history teaches any two facts
more indisputable than all other facts
they are these:
First —That slavery was “planted”
in this country from Africa : nd “root*
ed” in the South through “the hard
and thorough discipline of New Eng
land !”
Second— 1 That secession was both
“planted and ryoted’, as a doctrine in
our constitutional system by New
England, and was {taught, advocated
and threatened as a constitutional
remedy for State grievances by lead
ing New Engl nd statesmen many
years before it was ever whispered in
the South.
The first threat of *ci-es*ion was
made itt the first term of Washing
ton’s administration.- The New Eng
land members in Congress had brought
forward a proposition for the assump
tion by the genera! government of
certain war debts of the States. The
southern States had largely paid their
debts, while the debts of the New
England States had mostly been
bought up at a large discount by
‘peculators, some of whom, a north-
i rn historian tells us, were then in
Congress. The proposition was re
jected by southern votes. Great ex
citement followed. New England
threatened to secede, and Congress
could do no b .siness but adjourn. At
this critical moment Mr. Jefferson ar
rived at the capital from a foreign
mission. He found Mr. Hamilton
pacing up and down iu front of his
house (or the mansion)' iti utter des
pair of the union. Hamiliott explain
ed to Mr. Jefferson the situation, and
appealed to him “to save the union.”
Jefferson did save it. How ? Not by
argument, nor by denouncing the
New England lucuri-ers as traitors
and criminals, but by a trade! He
proposed a trade by which the New
England members got their money,
and the southern members got the
uational capital located on the Poto
mac instead of further north. For
two generations afterward the favor
ite method of saving the union was
by giving tits north the money and
the south the honors. Under ibis
process tnc north has grown so great
that she insists upon having nit the
money and all the honors, and upon
treating the south as criminals atvl
traitors! My friend, did you refer to
this happy faculty of coming out
all contests to i-ave the union with
more money in their pockets when you
spoke of “our institutions and thrill
being planted and rooted in tlie- hard
and thorough discipline of New En
gland? If so Junius himself never
made a harder hit, and yon must take
rank as one of the first, if not the very
first, ot American letter-writers. I
congratulate you on your w< 11-won
laurels!
Again you say: “New York has
loaned to the south and lost more
money there than all the other states.”
How much money ha3 New York
made out of the south T From my
earliest recollection the soul hern peo
ple have been in the habit of semlinj
nearly all they made to the north, am
of buying nearly all they consumed
from the uorth, and allowing and pay
ing heavy profits both ways. \Vill
New York agree to pool her losses
and profits with the south ?
It is a curious faet well worth our
study that the south has not made
one dollar either by slavery or slave
labor. Indeed the state of the ac
count shows that the south lias lost
untold millions both by slavery and
slave labor, while the north has made
and picketed every dollar of profit
there was in slavery or that was re
alized on the products of slave labor 1
The north su’d the slaves to the
south, and then, keeping the price,
deiioinic--d the idea of property in- hu
tnan beings ns barbarious. Because
so mu ah to increase Iter wealth and
power ? Will a State, which has so
much wealth, forget her own state
affairs'in electing-her own state- qfii
Cora in a luad purpose to keep up a
seetioi nl tight with the impoverished
south ? Insanity, my friend, ’ insani
ty!- ffe’e'insanity ' of "hate! May it
not.prove the very devil of final .dis
union !
You say I “wiil not rare to deny
that the south is firmly united in a
bold auil persistent purpose to con
trol the federal government in the
name of the democratic ‘party.’’ I do
deny r, though the charge is so ah-
sured that it scarcely m fits a denial.
I fear a friendly teatark I made to
you during the presidential count to
the efteet “that the north was .wise iu
spending so much blood and treasure
to keep the south in the union, as I
deubted whether the norlh could
maintain constitutional government
without tlie aid of the south,” has
unnecessarily alarmed you. The
south does not seek to' control the
north or the federal governmi lit, but
the south does greatly desire to see
both the north and the couth restored
to the control of the constitution—the
constitution of Madison, of Webster
and of the supreme court. The south
will! seek to exercise no power ex
cept that to which she is entitled un
der th • constitution, and'hat power
she desire* to exercise solely for the
peace and prosperity of the whole
country. Allow me to aid 'hat this
bugaboo of southern domination is
not creditable either to manhood or
the intelligence ot the republican par
ty. The south is and must remain
the weaker section. She has no inter
est in sectionalism, but every interest
in true constitutional nationalism. —
The south can have strength in the
future only in advocating tlm sound
est of sound principles f r the nation
al credit, the national honor and the
national prosperity, and : n sending
her allies’, men to congress to main
tain such principles. But you say the
south votes solid with the democratic
party. Why ? Solely because the
republican party will not allow any
southern man to support the republi
can party and preserve his self re
spect. The whole policy or- the re
publican party, since the war, lias
been based upon the as* miptiou that
the southern people are all criminals
and must confess themselves to be
criminals. In you letter addressing
myself you say: “Yon, yourself, in
all your s'rength, cannot stand for a
moment, or live, with your constitu
ents if you say that the rebellion was
a crime.”
Speaking for myself, 1 never did
believe in secession as either a doc
trine or a remedy under the cot s i-
tutiou. But from the beginning
much abler men than I ant h-vc
taught it was both. Some of the
framers ot the. constitution so taught.
Many of the ablest men of New Eng
land so taught. The southern people
believed they had a right to secede,
and that the peace of the country
aud their own safety demanded its
exercise. They did not intend to
make war on tlie government, as re
publican ’ demagogues so flippantly
charge. >
The attempt by the re ttblicans to •
treat Jin aet, which grew out. of honest
difference i f opinion, as a traitorous
rebellion against the government is as
unmanly as it is untruthful. But the
republican party not only insist* that
the southern people are all traitors,
but that they shall confes 1 . themselves
to be traitors. The result is that no
southern ni.in can affiliate with the
reptt 1 iii -.au party without confessing
hi us 1. a criminal and agreeing to
treat all his own people as criminals.
By such confession lie would show
himself unlit to be trusted by any
party. By this policy of the repub-'
icnn party everything decent in the
south is driven into the democratic
party, and then the republican party
raises the cry for a “solid north
against a solid south.’’
I do not know what else may hap
ten in the future, but this much I do
enow : Come what may, the south
ern people will never 'confess them

I equally believe that the republican
party is the most dangerous etioinv
the union ever had. It lives oil
sectionalism. It teaches the north
to hate the south and compels the
lost‘fortune, time and power hyjhe
war. Here and there a man may be
found who, hy reason of his connec
tion with the war, has reached 'posi
tions fop which lie would never other
wise would have been thought of, but
there are very few such. It would
be unnatural for sueh a people to de
sire sectional strife. But at tlienorth
there are thousands of men who have
made lortuues by the war, and many
have made fame and power. Many
are adulated who, but for mete luck
of war, wo Id never have been known.

It is unnatural for men who have
made so much by war not to regret
its occurrence nor to deprecate anoth
er! May not very many others who
see these examples of war fortune*
naturally desire or be willing to have
good luck? Is it strange that lead
ers, who have grown rieh and power
ful by sectionali'.m, should desire to
make a solid north against a
solid south, ami thus perpetuate their
fortunes and power? But it will he
strange it :tn intelligent people cannot
penetrate sueh a transparent purpose
an l ‘prevent its accomplisiuent. I
hope and believe the present will
prove a purgation to the democracy,
and cleansing the party of its internal
femls and its tunning after issues,
will recall it to sound principles f nd a
healthy condition for 1880. If so, we
shall be able to present a man for the
presidency whose nomitialiou will bo
an honor to the party, whose election
will be an honor to the people, and
whose wise and patriotic administra-
ion will inspire confidence in all good
men, will maintaiu the national honor
and the national credit aud advance
both; from whose presence rogues
will retire abashed, and under whose
influence sectionalism will wither fo r -
ever. Will my good friend, Mr.
Chittenden, for whom I have the
highest personal regard,-support such

:yt irrationally ami untruth- )
falness. Even your bird 'elections t
fur State, county, vi’y and town
cers are dominated t»y this teefing of
hatred and distrust of the Soath. It
is found in your bar*rooms, counting-
house* and pal,-it*. It is beyond
in the two generations that succeeded the south defended the title she
its framers, mid then added that “if bought and paid for in the manner
his con*! ruction was not the correct * ' ~
c ne he was in f*7<>r of tearing up t he

what yon mean by tlie “gateway to
comparative good feeling aud assured
national prosperity?”,, Is this “tear

with rebellion . ,,^ v ,1
The feeling: ot d'ffitriwt; ajw^e and

You are a great and successful
merchant. Will you do me the kind
ness to cast up the figures and tell me
how many billions "of money New
York and Massachusetts and Penn
sylvauia has made out of- slavi
and the products of slave labor?
yon will Work this sum, I think we
will lie ab.e to understand your boast
when you say : “New York is now
the fin.u-cal center of North Amm
y»». and will soon be the grv^cst nmn
ey iKiwer.in the whole' world.”' 1 Will
snub a great and rich State, in whose

That Wild Land Iniquity.
• We have been shown the following
dispatch from Atlanta;
' The Supreme Court decided to-day
that sales under wild land fi. fas arc
void, that is transferred fi. fits- The
Court sustained Judge Hood’s decis
ion from Terrell.
To-show that frauds, great without
parallel, have been practiced upon the
innocent aud unsuspecting holders of
these wild lands, we have only toei'c
the Report of the Comptroller Gener
al for 187G. That year the return for
taxation of improved and wild lands
in the whole State, footed up 35,770
780 acres, of which 7,033,447 acres
were given in ns wild lands.
But now let us examine, and we
will see by consulting the records of
the State in 1839, the report of the
Surveyor General of Georgia made to
a special commission ot the General
Assembly, composed of the brightest
intellects of the State, to wit: Hon.
John McPherson Berrien, Hun. Ab
salom 11. Chappell and Hon. W. W.
Holt, gave in all tlie land of the Com
monwealth at 35,515,526 acres. Com
paring these, carefully prepared stat
istics with the report of the late
Comptroller General, we find that the
le
>eop!e of the north shall sets fit to so-
idily and keep the sectional republi
can parly iiulil this confession shall
be made, then your hope of one more
year of sectional agitation i* the dream
of a distempered brain, an l a cordial
Yeuuiou is hopeless. The southern
reople abandon, and abandon forever,
Kth secession and slavery. They ad
mit that superior physical force has
settled what argument was not able
to settle. They accept i t good faith
the constitutional amendments. They
desire to exetcisc only their pro|)or-
tion of power under the constitution
and laws. They neither desire, nor
will they allow, if they can prevent it,
any more civil or sectional wars.—
This they proved to all fair-minded,
men in the presidential count They
will not, under any circum-tances,
“starve’’ the government,, nor seek
any control over the mi th. But they
intend to preserve their self-respect,
and to deserve the respect of all brave
aud honorable men everywhere and
fo rainimi-, and this they cannot do by
cenfessing themselves to be criminals,
as the republican party has demanded
and still deinautls.
Now, nty friend, wh':v are y u in
telligent men in the north going,to, do
about it? Will yon jnsi-t npon
keeping the south solid ly,(demand
ing their sell-dishonor,' and theiv.iiis
tost upon mnking.itUc,!|.<r#i solid
f cause the, south refusen acUfl grqd^-
tion at yojtr depa^?
Well, suppose you succeed ? Sup*
poso you sAcoetid, ftyl ^'our absurd
outrages
ery man
trust'every ihau in the South? Will
that break t‘ e solid south ? Will
titan is embraced within the limits of
the State.
Now it should be borne in mind
that all this pother relates to wild
land only. But in the name ot com
mon sense, after the State has re
turned according to the Comptroller
General’s own .figures, a quarter of a
million ttt re acres than -really can be
located within her Loutids, where did
these fi. fas for unrctnined wild lands
come from ? Yet we find by the pub
lished advertisements of the sales of
wild lauds now lying before us, that
twenty thousand lots of tinreturned
wild land have liecti placed upon the
block. These vary in size from 40 to
490 acres. Assuming the low aver
age of 250 acres for each, and we have
the frightful area of ,
FIVE MILLIONS 'OF ACRES
of wild land that have been actually
advertised for sale, partitioned up and
divided. Ilcave.i knows between
whom. Thousand of acres, whose
owners had paid their taxes, were sold
under these fi. fas., and the egregious
blunders of officials and tlie iiumitiga-
ttd rascality of speculators exceed any
fraud ever oecut ring in the annals of
the State. irf. .
We agree fully s with' our, contem
porary, the Constitution, that all Uie-q
vi.laitiies should be broughtJto I Mu,

This mill hue now been in operation
twenty two months, with results high
ly satisfactory to all parties .concern
ed. The proprietors are receiving
hundreds of letters of inqitir.y and
many visitors, all of whom as far as I
can find but, coine away under deep
conviction.
There are already six mills using
the Clement attachment iu successful
operation, as follows:
Wcstimnistcr, _S. C.—Westminis
ter Manufacturing Co., Proprietors.
Anderson, S. C.—Harrison estate,
proprietors. ■ J - « vf
Windsor, N. C.—Harden,- proprie
tor. . j
Mathews 'Depot, G. C. Grier &
Son, proprietors.
Corinth, Miss.—F. E. * Whitfield,
proprietor.
Any one wishing to know fartlterl
would refer them to J. V. Stribling at
Westminister S. C., who is agent for
tho sale of the Clement attachment for
North Carolina, South Carolina and
Georgia, and who is also projector and
builder of new cotton process mills.
I will again mention some of the
advantages of this new indu
try: . • ’
1. It will do away with tlie expense
of so many gin houses, dangerous lint-
rooms, cotton-presses, and the tedious
work connected therewith.
2. It greatly lessens the risk of fire
from the fact of the small quantity of
lint exposed.
3. It will save the expense of bag
ging and tics and much hand
ling. ' * ,
4. It: makes a smoother rnd belter
yarn than the compressed cotton, and
finds a ready sale at the mills from the
northern buyers.
5; It discuses with the endless
clippings of middle men, speculators,
weighing, innrVmg, freiglrts of mar
ket, storage, stealage, sampling, com
mission, insurance, compressing,'
wharfage, etc.
G It wiil employ a largo number of
women and children, whose labor
otherwise is almost valneless.
7. It will save to the country, to be
spent at home, the large tntrgin be
tween the raw material and the
yarn.
8. It will increase our population
aud thu money circulation and afford
better educational and church privi-
leges.
9. It will enhance the value of real
estate and increase the demand, for
product* from the farms.
10. It will attract capital froth the
north, and draw machinery to 1 the
material.
To’sum up, it is the true key to the
wealth of the South. It will give life
and thrift generally throughout this
section of country.' It {mints to onr
financial salvation, and can by its
workings make this the most deiirable
country on this globe.
