A letter Erom governor Bigler. Clearfield pa., Noy. 1, 1802 a or dear Sik a in reply to your Tavor of the 30tli Ultimo i have to say that you have been rightly informed. I do no Intond to he a candidate for United states senator at the Oming. I deetion Grid. Have so expressed my fronds on All proper occasions i have a number of reasons Public and private for Bis course one. Of which is that the Eastern and Northern sections of the state make pc. Cial claim to the senator at this time on the ground that to have one in tho West recently elected and cannot reasonably claim both for so Long a term. A. A. ,. The other question you ask a a a that can to done to save the country a is not so readily answered. Tho usual response is god knows. Few of our Best thinkers Sooin to Clear views on the question. And Quot it. Is not even certain that the administration at Wash Jungton has a Well defined policy to that end i have some thoughts on the subject which i do not hesitate to give you. They May seem to you crude end on some Points even novel and startling but. They a re the result of. Some reflection. A 1 Quot -. The. Sword is the Only Agency at work. But the sword cannot do All. It is an agent of destruction. It can tear a Down hut cannot build up. It May chastise and silence the rebels in the Field cannot Mako a Union if states it cannot restore Confidence and fraternity amongst a people estranged and alienated from each other. Quot if the War was he Aigist the leaders in the South Only As Many at the beginning supposed then the sword might put them Down and tho masses could return to their allegiance. But the conflict turns out to a with the whole mass of the people within the revolted states old and Young Niale and female numbering Many millions. With such a Power sooner or later we shall have to treat and negotiate. The sword along will Nover rest to this people to the . Yon Well know that when Trio present calamities Mona oed the nation i was for peace Ful niemans to Avert the blow. Then. Our present suffering and sacrifices could have been avoided and is i believe tho Unity of the states preserved for generations without the sacrifice of principal or Honor or conscience on either Side passion prejudice and fanaticism Only would have to give Way and i still think nay i am sure that other Means besides War Aro necessary to save our country our whole country a from present afflictions and impending ruin. A i know How easy it is to talk about War and carnage about Stra Tegeti. Positions and Brill int Vio Torios about the prompt subjugation of the South by the North How pleasant it May to to some to float in the common current of excitement and passion and especially How unpleasant if not unsafe it is to Stem this tide. But the time is coming if it be hot now when tho men who would Render his country a substantial service must do this. Lie must look at the whole work before us and strike for tho right regardless of clamor or consequences to himself have had War for eighteen Mon pcs the like of which the world has Seldom witnessed before to sustain which a National debt of a startling magnitude which must hang Over posterity Long into the future bos already been created and More than a Quarter of a a virion of invaluable lives Snori fico on the Union Sido Alono in addition to the Many thousands that Dvo Boon crippled or diseased for life and yet but Little if any substantial Progress Hab been made in. Tho Good work of re establishing tho Union or even of maintaining the Federal authority within tho states. Has not Thon tho of Pori Mont of War As a moans of out rioting the country from its present deplorable condition Beon already tested tested at last to such an extent As to prove its utter futility unaided by other a Happy thought of president Lin a expressed in his inaugural that if to out to War to could not Firlit always a a and in after much loss on both sides and no on in other you coast fighting tho Donti 3u08tlon� As to terms of Intercourse lilo i a 0n this prophetic and or to a a s cant sont Mont shows to Lent even Teduiii-50 a War began anti Nipa Timo in ouse it did Login when it would be necessary to put tho sword to rest at least for a season in order to resume tho identical old questions sont Mont. It docs not seem to have occurred to him that tho sword could do tho whole work but that inevitably to would have to come Back to the original Point to Compromise and bottle. If then to cannot fight always what amount of fighting is necessary to Render it proper to prepare to cease or suspend in order to consider terms of reconciliation. Thoro Lias already a a been much loss on both sides and no gain on either a and whilst Timo to coast fighting May not to yet the period has surely Homo when other Means besides tho sword should be employed in the Effort to save the government and country. Certainly the object of tho War and the extent to which it is to go should to definitely known to tho country. A if it to subjugate the states in rebellion and hold them not Ift states in the Union but is conquered provinces then tho sword must to kept in constant motion and War and Carnego to the order of a the any. Now levies and fresh supplies May be properly raised for it will require a formidable army in Oach of the seceded states to execute and maintain this schctno.1 if a extermination be the object then tho sword should have unrestrained License to Deal death and destruction amongst the rebels in All parts of their country regardless of sex or age or condition. But neither of those purposes if practicable would re establish the Union although there might remain n Union composed of. Certain states. But when the Union is re established the South As Well As he North Viust to. In it the family of states must exist is heretofore else it will not to the Union about which we have talked so much and for which so Many Brave men have offered up their lives. The physical Triumph of the North Over tho South in tho Field As the North in tho did May Triumph is nut the whole of the task. The states must be brought together the feelings of the a people of both sections must lie so constrained Ami moderated that Thoy can fraternize and live together else the Union is gone forever. tho Southern states and so hold them could Subserve no Good end for either Section and in no Way that i can discover Advance the of the North for so Long a the South was so hold their hate of the North would increase and whilst the. North so held tho South it could do but Little else meanwhile its material interest must languish and die. But in addition such a work is utterly inconsistent with tho Genius of our institutions and could scarcely fail to. Load to their utter perversion and ultimate overthrow adding to the calamities of disunion tho sacrifice of free government. Conquest. Arid Empire a mover a could not compensate for Sulci a loss. To Cofer innate the inhabitants of tho South would be a deliberate emasculation of tho. Union rendering its reconstruction. At once impracticable and hopeless and involve a work of barbarity from which the novt Iorii pet e would shrink in horror. The existence of the Southern states in some Tor wilp inhabitants and on spine Torrn of Intercourse is highly essential nay i will say a to tho welfare of the , therefore,-.against examination Ami against tho policy of holding tho Southern states As conquered provinces. This ground can be. So easily maintained on purely selfish considerations for the Iii the whih will occur to All that i need not trouble Yon with their presentation on this occasion. Iam for re establishing the Union As it was or making a Union As similar As practicable the states to to equals and to the extent the states Lynw a re each to have and Hejny such Domestic Institute Cutis As it May choose and were a in a Congress i should sustain that a measure of War and , that would clearly tend to tho accomplishment of those ends but no War of subjugation or extermination. 1. A. I know it said in reply to All this. Thon let the Southern people Lay Down their arms and Como Back into tho Union and All will to right again. Would to god. They could to induced so to do Thero is no guaranty in i would not to willing to . But do to see any indications of such a return to tens a and duty ? i can see none and i expect toss a hone so Long As the sword is unaccompanied by agents for set the moist and peace. Who our army went to Mexico it was accompanied by a , in order to. Embrace the earliest Opportunity for settlement. In gods a Amo i would ask should we do less when engaged in a War aping st ourselves ? it is Idle and worse than Idle to delude ourselves about tho nature of the conflict in which we Are on gag of. To cannot make a Union by Force alone though to May Triumph Over the South in the Field and May is Well look tho complications Square face As not. The first question is to we Intond do we desire to have All the so Thorn states Back into tho Union on the terms of the Constitution ? if we do Thon it is seen that Tioy Are to be the equals of the Northern states in rights sovereignty and dignity. Does any Ono believe that such a relation can to established and maintained by the sword alone ? should a. of the states subjugate and humiliate the others Thon they could not Livo together is equals and friends for tho subjugated Are always the enemies of the Subj gators. When All the states therefore resume their former relations or new relations of Union and Intercourse it must be the not of All if the settlement is to to Complete and permanent. I have Beard a great Deal about Patching up a dishonourable peace about the humiliation and disgrace to the North involved in any and every proposition for settlement and there is nothing that is said about tho affairs of tho country for which i Liao less respect. It is oven held by some that he. Is q disloyal citizen who seeks to re establish the Union by other Means than the sword. How absurd 1 the sword has been at work its Agency has Beon tested vigorously and terribly tested and Liow stand tho states not that should to in Harmony ? tho response i where they wore Whon tho War began arrayed in grim and relentless hostility. Then Why spurn Othor agencies to Aid in the Good work in tho words of or. Lincoln we cannot fight always and to should not fight longer unless we can do sons a Means of Multi into Union and permanent Ponce. What Thon can to done ? and i regret that All that shoud to done cannot to accomplished promptly. Tho states now in tho Union should to in convention or have delegates ready to go into convention in order to reaffirm the present constitutional relations amongst tho Statos with explanation on controverted Points or to Mako such now relations As May to found necessary to bring together and retain All tho Statos. The Stato Legislatures could petition a Congress for such a convention As provided by tho Constitution and Congress could Mako tho Cocossa by provisions for it Bosforo tho Coloso of the coming session. Such state Logi Siatros of do not moot in the. Rog Ulyir order could to specially convened and lion tho no cosgary number of states petition it is obligatory on Congress to comply. The body thus constituted would to competent to adjust and set to All tho complications which now beset us. In tho midst of War then to should to prepared to make peace whereas,.when tho time comes for set Lomont in the Abs Eneo of such a body it might to found Flint we have no competent authority in existence to do the things that May to necessary. Neither Congress nor tho executive nor the two together Havo rightful authority to change the old or to Mako now relations amongst tho states. Congress May submit amendments to. Tho Constitution for tho ratification of the states and i believe the present calamities of the nation could have been averted in that Way in the Winter of 18g1 but now Trio disorders of tho country Aro probably too complicated to to reached in Itiat tho president and Congress should prepare tho Way. For settlement indeed by consulting tho people through the ballot Box Thoy might make a settlement to to ratified by tho states thereafter. Let the president propose an armistice for the purpose of considering some programme of reunion and settlement in which the feelings and rights of. Tho masses in the South shall be duty appreciated and provided for. Invite Thom Back on the conditions of Trio Constitution with explicit definitions on controverted Points or on new conditions with tho fullest Assurance of Justice and Equality when they do so come. Let him do it this and Challenge tho rebel authorities to submit such propositions As May he agreed upon to an unrestrained vote of the Southern states As lie will at a a same time submit such propositions to Strung a an vote of tii miso of tho Northern states with the pro Vail Edv understanding that if a majority of slave Statos and a majority of free states accept a the proposition a its conditions should he binding until ratified or superseded by tho states suppose the Confederate authorities reject Liis on any similar proposition no Hurni could ensue Quot to the Northern cause. Such action would Only Leavo them in a Worso Light Bosforo tho world and tho government at Washington. In the better. The preliminaries for such a movement could Quot be readily arranged by. Commissioners selected for that purpose5.it May be said that we Are constantly inviting tho Southern people to Lay Down their arms and come Basic into the Union and this a a Tild seem to to. Conclusive hut it must not to forgotten that they rebelled because As they say the party now in Power at a Ashington would not permit them to enjoy in peace the and covenants of hat. Union and that there is no Evi Doseo that they would fare bettor now. Beside he has studied human nature to a poor purpose who Enn not discover that unconditional submission. Involves a degree of humiliation to which they will never Como so Long As they Havo any Means of res Stonco. In the Effort to gain big cd masses their passions and Pride and self respect May he wisely considered. To must give them some new ground some pretext it not completo and a guarantees lie fore rower can expect them to entertain the idea of forsaking their present leaders and of bracing the old Ai am fully Anro of the indignation and even contempt with which these suggestions will to pursued by both sections hut i care not Are to not in ganged in an Effort to re establish and maintain tho Aro not the seceded states to Coli pose part of that Union ? then Why riot Endeavor to Rescue tii Ein from destruction and cultivate Good relations with them. When the family of Statos again exists a heretofore they must become Gourji Lethron and our equals in every particular. What pleasure Liori can destruction or humiliation if there to any friends of the old Flag and Trio old government within the seceded states they should cultivate the same spirit toward thou North Trio absent element of a substantial Union is fraternity Ari Longst the. People and that can never be furnished by the sword again in tho words of or. Lincoln. A a there Lias been much loss on both sides and no gain Oti Vithor a and Trio identical Oil question As to terms of Intercourse Are , arid we should Sekso to adjust them As to establish Trio Union on an imperishable basis. But it May to asked is this a War for the Union ? a re to Suro that those in authority intend nothing else ? they certainly profess nothing else and i attribute to else. If the War is not for tho Union and is not directed with Solo reference to that end Liori it is tho Host stupendous fraud that has Ever been Practised upon the world. To All know Lio Wover that Many very Many of its partisans will not be satisfied with tia tissue. It might be very important therefore to tho salvation of the country when the Timo for reconstruction Homos if Ever it so bibs Como to have tho soundings on this Point taken in Advance. I should like exceedingly to so a popular vote taken in the North especially in new England Between tho proposition to receive All the states Back nto the Union on tho ter his of the Constitution which Mako the states equals and alike Sovereign each with Havo such tons As it May choose and a proposition to recognize the Independence of the Southern confederacy. It might he interesting As Well As instructive to unveil the hypocrisy of n certain school of politicians who have clamoured so zealously about the War for the Union. It is painfully apparent that notwithstanding this Olat rior they do not intend that tho Union no null l pm. Blah am Mia trip Iyll Fly a quoth al c-/ot1�?T Liall exist hereafter of tho terms of the Constitution Quot if it is to embrace All the Statos. The ratio of slave representation Ana the rendition of fugitive slaves Are features of the Constitution which they condemn and abhor. Between the maintenance of. These recognition of tho Southern confederacy Many of them in Ray judgment four to one Woi ild prefer tho latter. Their aversion to these clauses of the Constitution was a primary cause of tho alienation and hostility of the South and i fear they would not yield that aversion now to Render the Union what it was. Let or. Lincoln try this question if to would solve tho problem of the nations imbroglio. Do not understand to that i would al old a the sword or any other Means calculated to Render tho Union what it was what i mean is that if tho Union and is tho object tho sword will never find tho belligerents in a better condition to cons mate that work than they Are now and that other ngon oies should to promptly employ of. I yield to no Man in Devotion and loyalty to tho Union As it was and to tho principles of tho Govor Mont trans Litton to us by our fathers.
