Doc. 198 1/2.-Bishop Potter's letter to a Secessionist.
Philadelphia, May 13, 1861.
My dear Sir:--You beg me to explain how it is possible that (I) could, under the circumstances, give so much sanction and encouragement to those engaged in this unholy, unprovoked, wanton attempt to destroy us and all that is dear to us.
Your misconception is so radical that I almost despair of correcting it. What you regard as an attempt to destroy you. and all that is dear to you, is considered by whole fabric of our General Government.
Under the present exasperated state of the sections, it is impossible to say to what lengths this conflict may go. But I assure you that in the few lines above, you have the whole animus of the loyal States, and of the Union men everywhere.
Only the smallest number of fanatics think or talk of slavery.
The whole question is one of self-defence, and of Government or no Government.
Yours sincerely, Alonzo Potter.
