Description:Excerpt from Letters of the Hon.: Joseph Holt, the Hon. Edward Everett, and Commodore Charles Stewart, on the Present Crisis My Dear Father: The stars and stripes still float over the Capitol, and I sincerely trust that a kind Providence will ever protect the flag of our country, and especially grant your prayer that if it must even be still further dishonored and trailed in the dust upon American soil, it may not be by the hands of those with whose fathers, in the earlier days of the Republic, you helped bear it in triumph in the face of a foreign foe. The immediate future, it is true, looks dark, and if the only hope of future peace and tranquility was to be predicated solely on the triumph and success of the troops, I for one, should never expect to see the harmony of the States restored. There can be no permanent peace in a republican government which is not based on sound reason and justice, consequently, if the cause and position of the General Government can only be sustained by force of arms, then farewell to the American Republic. Does enlightened reason therefore declare in favor of the integrity of the Union of all the States as it existed prior to the present unhappy condition of the country? This, after all, is the great question for the masses of the people of the seceded States to determine, and that in the end they will respond yes, I have no doubt. The sooner therefore, that the causes, both immediate and remote, which have led to the present disturbances are understood and fully appreciated, the sooner will the troubles end and peace be restored. As an instrumentality in this work, I believe the recent letter of Hon. Joseph Holt to the people of Kentucky, is destined to do more to hasten the hour when the entire North, South, East and West, shall forget past alienations in renewed pledges of love and attachment for each other, than a thousand regiments. So strongly has this letter impressed me with its importance, that I have had it re-printed in pamphlet form, that it may be more conveniently examined and preserved, a copy of which I forward you by mail. Trusting that the hope and joy of coming good to a distracted nation, which the perusal of Mr. Holt's letter cannot fail to awaken in your bo om, will in a measure compensate for the grief which you felt at the fall of Sumter, and that your life may be spared to witness its tendencies and legitimale results in the restoration of peace and prosperity to our whole country.
