Cooper, Thomas V. (Thomas Valentine)

Political parties -- United States; United States -- Politics and government

The Black Republican members of this Committee of Thirteen are
representative men of their party and section, and to the extent of my
information, truly represent the Committee of Thirty-three in the House,
which on Tuesday adjourned for a week without coming to any vote, after
solemnly pledging themselves to vote on all propositions then before
them on that date.

That committee is controlled by Black Republicans, your enemies, who
only seek to amuse you with delusive hope until your election, in order
that you may defeat the friends of secession. If you are deceived by
them, it shall not be my fault. I have put the test fairly and frankly.
It is decisive against you; and now I tell you upon the faith of a true
man that all further looking to the North for security for your
constitutional rights in the Union ought to be instantly abandoned. It
is fraught with nothing but ruin to yourselves and your posterity.

Secession by the fourth of March next should be thundered from the
ballot-box by the unanimous voice of Georgia on the second day of
January next. Such a voice will be your best guarantee for LIBERTY,
SECURITY, TRANQUILLITY and GLORY.

                 IMPORTANT TELEGRAPHIC CORRESPONDENCE.

_Atlanta, Georgia_, December 26th, 1860. _Hon. S. A. Douglas or Hon. J.
J. Crittenden_:

Mr. Toombs’s despatch of the 22d inst. unsettled conservatives here. Is
there any hope for Southern rights in the Union? We are for the Union of
our fathers, if Southern rights can be preserved in it. If not, we are
for secession. Can we yet hope the Union will be preserved on this
principle? You are looked to in this emergency. Give us your views by
despatch and oblige

                                                     R. C. HONLESTER.

                                      _Washington_, December 29th, 1860.

In reply to your inquiry, we have hopes that the rights of the South,
and of every State and section, may be protected within the Union. Don’t
give up the ship. Don’t despair of the Republic.

                                                       J. J. CRITTENDEN.
