My dere hreckinrig -A I Hay nlinosl giv over Fver seeing you, I have deternul to rite and inn the risk of my letter being iulciscptcd by the hin lings of abolition Abo. The reason I havelil bill liU'U'g In our Southern nrmy for tint Constitution and the grate diniicratlii k party, Is I thol i moiil do more for the caws in Oregon by working to put thu pasillck coast on the Soiithten plalfortn. It pains me lo sny (hat your bends in this kentry has had poor .tuecess In gilting Ongon and cabfor nv up on Ihe bullwoiksof the constitution. My godl llreck, it looks gloomy lor our caws, nIiiiik. il looks as though iliutocracy had neat ly dried up. oh I i f I could only sea the Union an il win, wilh Puck in Ihe presidential cheer and you and Mu in the Sitinit, I think wit ort to both be salislide. Vonvo probably got the letter I sent by brock about the result of our Slalo Flec tion, wait was badly bed, but hu inns good a ninn god knows us ever stood on a confederacy plat form. Fmiy man could tell he w as u iliinocrul from the cxprcshuu of his face- dolflialliiilh liint tiller blue for uuy kind of a compromise thai would se cure the inalienable rights ol the Sol TH to hie, lib.ru, uud the pursuit of niggers into Oiinn.hi.

We nil thought ii'ie Southern man could whip live of the abolition npe's hirelings. I think in that calculation we were nil somewhat tuck In. The n asou Ihe yankys dout run more nor lin y do, I dont think is owing to their bravery, but to their stupidity.
