[Dear Sir]
Having a love of county at heart,
and, believing that a union of feeling, and Sentiment
North & South is necessary to a perpetuity of our
government; I respectfully suggest, that a possibility
Exists, that an antagonistic feeling occupies, and rules
the action of people, both north and South, which by
a Candid investigation, might be removed - It is to be
presumed, that Each party may be equally honest, and
yet differ widely in their conclusions upon the same
Subject, investigated: therefore we ought always, Cheerfully to
[acknowledge?] accord the same right & privaleges un to others, that
we ask for ourselves, especially [so] the right of opinion; Surrounding
Circumstances & influences, together with Early Educated [?] [?]
& preconceived [ideas] views has much to do in forming our
judgment, and basing the rule, that govern our actions
towards our fellow men, Hence the necessity of [Candan?]
Government is the great, & important question, before the United
States to-day - Our people are divided upon this
Subject. They are led by two parties; both
professing to represent the government upon its true
basis - what is its basis is the first and important
question - The policy of its citizens is its base. That policy
[is the compact] entered into by & between the States, [and]
is [Stiled?] The Constitution of the United States. By its
rule we are to be governed - by its terms we are bound
both north, South, East & West - The Sovereignty of the States
has made this [rule?] supreme – under its terms, Congress
has its guide for the [supreme] laws over these United States
which laws are the Supreme laws of the land

Any law of Congress not in harmony with the constitution, and so
declared by the Supreme Court of the United States, is
a nulity
