AN INTERESTING LETTER
WRITTEN 60 YEARS
The letter which we are
'interesting to publish below is one of the
the editor of The
I I der-Tribune has had the pleasure
reading in a long time. It was
ten more than 60 years ago bv
Elbert Fagan, father of Mr. E.
' I Fagan, thru whose courtesy we
| privileged to publish it. The
! is remarkable in a number of
pects. The ink is as black as if
ten yesterday. The paper is
slightly yellowed with age. The
; writing is almost as oeautiful
copper legible plate engraving print.The and
I as as
construction and diction bespeak
ithe j writer sentiments of no mean the education;
of writer
true to the highest type of
nism and democratic principles.
We do not feel that there is
j risk of awakening old sectional
(the 1 tagonisms, publication prejudices or hatred
of this letter.
publish it merely for its
and intrinsic interest. It is
interesting at this particular
when we are in the midst of
presidential campaign when the
sues between democracy and
licanism are again on trail
the whole country.
We have not been able to
where the Banner of Liberty,
whose editor this letter was
ed, was published. If any of
readers know -.ve would be glad
have the information.
The letter follows:
Cedar Creek, Tavlor County,
n pr on Mi "l ism
Editor „... „ Banner of Liberty:
I write a few words expressive
my simple views in regard to the
sent and futfire condition of our
spread and glorious Confederacy.
seems that the golden ties that
bound us together as a happy
prosperous Nation are about
severed never to be united
Who is responsible for all of
why it is the serried hosts af
tional and sectarian fanatics at
North. We at the South have
mitted again a,nd again to
ern aggression for the sake of
and tranquility in the Union, but
Seems the crisis has come or is
approaching be when submission
fail to a virtue. In this case
call upon patriots everywhere North
as well as South (for we are not for¬
getful of there being true patriots at
the North who are battling for our
rights every day of their lives) to
help us roll back this tide of North¬
ern fanatic aggression and maintain
our rights guaranteed to us by the
Constitution. The great
campaign of 1860, is a matter
which every true patriot should be
deeply concerned. It will determine
the perpetuity or the dissolution of
this Government. It is to decide
whether black Republican treason
or our glorious Union with all its
blessings is to be destroyed. And
like patriots let every man do his
duty to his country, to himself and
to nis children. The preservation of
this our glorious confederacy main
Jy depends upon the triumph of the
National Democracy in the coming
contest of 1860, to the Presidency.
If we are dependant upon the success '
ol ^“ e National Democratic party
for*our future welfare and the pre
servation of the Federal Constitu
b * on > the bond of Union, never was
there a time since the formation of
t hls Government when it was more
important for patriots to bestir them
selves in behalf of the dissemination
? f soun<1 sentiments. As for myself
I wish to see the Union preserved
when it can be done honorably, but
h cannot be preserved by honor
able means 1 am for a dissolution.
* or my uwn part 1 am determined
to labor day and night if necessary
to Preserve the boon handed down
bo us - rom our worthy ancestors.
And my conviction is the utmost en
? rfr - v a ? ld influence of every patriot
.
la aa , imperatively demanded as in
the da y? of the Revolution. And to
remain inactive in the coming con
bes *' °f would be little short of
treason to our coui, .ry. Let us make
one ni °re united effort to select a De
mo cra ! President as we did in 1856
n< , ^he victory is If the Black
i Republican ours. is de
party once more
teated then it is dead forever. But
should the Black Republican party
° r sectional fanaticism succeed and
8 e^udtdatc be elected to the Pris¬
*d . >ts triumph
enc y would be the over¬
ttmiivv and destruction of our Con
federacy. When the Federal Consti
tution shall be violated either in let
^? tional r °T s party P‘ 1 ’t by that the ignores triumph its of sacred a sec
provisions as does the Black Repub
lican party then Union is at once dis
solved; hostility it is based upon such open
to the institution and rights
of the South that a dissolution would
inevitably follow its triumph. I again
appeal to National Democrats. Let
us unite, erect and build up an im
penetrable barrier to disunion till
Gabriel’s trump shall awaken the
sleeping dead. millions of earth’s teeming
I for one would rather lay my
head upon the lap of my Mother
earth and sleep the sleep that knows
no Republican waking than to l ; ve under a Black
Government. Yes, I had
rather consign my children to a pre
mature grave than to know that
they had to, live under such a Gov
ernment.
