Citizenship In Philadelphia Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from Letter on the Rebellion, to a Citizen of Washington, From a Citizen of Philadelphia The following Letter was written, five months ago, in the course of a friendly and familiar correspondence with a prominent and very estimable citizen of Washington. In addition to the subjoined note from Mr. Yaux, the writer was requested, and even urged, to publish the Letter, some time since, the gentleman to whom it was addressed giving his consent. But he did not think it could add anything to all that had been so much better said and written by others, on the same great subject, and refrained from publishing it. He has determined now to let it go for what it may be worth. The interval that has elapsed since the Letter was written, may at least serve to show that the writer has evinced no anxiety, and been in no hurry, to get into print. Though the first part about the "Trent" be not applicable at this moment, the writer feels as much confidence now, as he did then, in the soundness of the sentiments, and in publishing the Letter, prefers to publish it entire.
