FOR PEACE. - i -.;
State or North Carolina,
Executive Department,
Raleigh, Dec. 30th, J 80
! o
His Excellency, President Davis .
Mr Dear JSir: After a careful consideration
of all the sources of discontent in North Carolina,
I havo concluded that it will ho impossible to re
move it, except hy making some effort t .negoti
ation with the enemy. The recent action of the
Federal Houso of Representatives, thongh mean,
iog very little, has. greatly excited the public hope
that the northern mind is. looking towards peace.
I a -i promised by all men who advocate this cause
that if fair terms are rejected, it will tend greatly
to gtrenghten and intensify the war feeling, and
will rally'all classes to a more cordial support cf
the Government. And, although our position i.s
well koown, as demanding only to be let alone,
yet it seems to me that! for the sake of humanity
without having any wenjc or improper motives at
tributed to iv, vte tni-htrwit!i propriety, constant
ly tender negotiations In doinrj so wo would
keep conspicuously before the world a disclaimer
of onr repponaibility for the great daughter of oar .
race, and 'convince the humblest of our citizens
who sometimes torget toe aotnai situation mat
the Government is tender of their lives and haps
piness, and would not prolong their sufferings
unnecessarily one moment. Though statesmen
might regard thi3 as useless, the people will not,
and I think our, cause will be strenghtened there
by. I have not suggested the method of these
negotiations or their terras. The effort Xo obtain
peace the principal matter.
Allow me to beg your earne?.t consideration of
this suggestion. . t
Very respectfully your?,
Z. 1). VANCE.
EXTRACT FROM PRESIDENT DAVIS'
REPLY TO THE FOREGOING LETTER-.
Executive Office,
Richmond, Jan. $:h, 1864.
i
Apart frcm insuperable ob'-jections to the line
of policy you propose, (ana to wnicu 1 win pves
ently advert) r cannot e? how the more material
obstacles are lobo eunnonuted. We havn made
three distinct inorti ' to . eomninnieate with the
authoritiee at Washington, titid have- been iuvari.
ably unsuccessful Coinniissioners were sent before
hostilities wero beuu, and the Vashinton gov-
eminent refused to receive Ihern or hear what
they had to say. A second time I sent a military
officer with a communication addressed by my
f elf to President Lincoln. Tho letter was received
by Gen. Soott, who did not permit the officer to
see Mr. Lincoln but promised that an answer
would be sent. No answer has ever been receiv?
ed. The third tiice, a few months ago, a gen
- tleman was sent whoae position, character and
reputation were such as to enenro his reception,' if
the enemv were not determined to leceivfc no pro
posi!3 whatever from tho government. Vice
.President Stephens made a pariotio tender of his
services in tac hope of being able to promote the
cause of humanity, and although little belief was
- entertained of his success, I cheerfully yielded to
his suggestion, that the experiment shonld be tried.
The enemy refused to let him pass through their
lines or to hold any conference . with them, lie
was stopped before he. ever reached Fortress Mon"
roe ipn his way to Washington. Toattempt again
(in the face of these repeated rejections of all
conference. with us) to send Commissioners or
Agents to propose peace, is to invite insult and
contumelv, and to subject ourselves to..indignity
w'thout the slightest chance of being listend to.
No true citizen, no man who has our cause , at
heart can desire "this, and the good people of
North Carolina would I e the last to approve of
such an attempt, if aware of all the fact-. So far
from removing sources of discontent,' such a
course would receive, as it would, merit, the con
. denization of thope true patriots who have given
. their blood and their treasure to maintaiu the
freedom, equality and independence, which des
cended from the immortal heroes of King's Moun
trio and otheribattle fields of tbe revolution. If,
then, these proposals cannot be made through
envoy?, because ihe enemy would not receive them
how is it possible tb communicate our desire for
.peace, otherwise than by -the public anuounce
. ments continued in almost every message I ever
sent to Congress ? . t
I cannot recall at this tirae.onc instance in w bich
1'have failed to announce that outtonly desire was
peace, and the only "teinis which formed a sine
qua non, were precisely these that you suggested,
namclv. " a demand only to be let alone." But
suppose jt were practicable to obtain a conference
through commissioners with the government of
President Lincoln, is it at this nlomcnt that we
are to consider it desirable, or even at all adrais-
sible ! Have we not just been apprised hy that
despot that we can only expect his gracious par
don by emancipating all our slave?, swearing ah
legiance and obedience to 6im and his proclama-
tion, and becoming in point of fact the slaves of
our own negroes?, . Can there be in North Caro
lina one citizen so fallen beneath the dignity of his
ancestors, as to accept, or to enter intorconference
on the basis of these terms ! That there are a few
traitors ia the State who would be willing to be
tray their fellow-citizens to such a degraded con
dition, in hope of being rewarded for treachery by
an escape from tho common doom, may be. true
Bat I do not believe that the vilest wretch would
accept such terms for himself." I cannot conceive
how the people of your State, than which none
' ku tent nobler or more gallant soldier to the
fieUi of. battle, (onoof.wbom it is-your honor: to
mm

be,) can have been deceived by anything to which
jpu refer in, "iho recent action of the Federal
IJQuse of Representatives." L have. seen no action
rthat House that doe not indicate bv a verv
decided majority, the purpose of the enemy toj-e-fase
all terms to the South, except absolute, un
conditional subjugation or extermination, i But if
it were otherwise, j how are we to treat with the
House of liepresentativca? .;lfeit,with Lincoln
alone that we ever! could confer, and io Bipar
tisan at the north; avow unequivocally that his
purpose in his message and proclamation 'war to
shut out all hope that he would ever treat with us
on any terme. If we will break up our govern
raont, dissolve the 'Confederacy, disiiand our ar
mies, emancipate our slaves, take an oath of al
legiance, binding ourselves to; obedience to him
J and of disloyalty to our own States, he proposes to
, iiuuu us nuu uut iu piuutier us oianyimng more
thau the property f already stolen from us, and
such slaves as still remain. Jn order to render
his. proposal, so insulting as tAecrire their rejec
tion, he joins to them a promise to support with
his army one tenth of the people of any Stato who
will attempt to set tip a government over theotheH
uine irniuss, tuus wjeKing io sow aiorner ana sus
picion among the people of the several States, and
to excite them to civil war in furlheranceof his ends.
1 fcnow.well it would be impossible togetyourpeo
pie, if they . possessed full knowledgeof these facts,
to conseut trial proposals should now bs made by
us to thosa who control the government at Wash
ington. i Your own well known devotion to the
great clanso of liberty and independence, to which
we have all committed whatever wenaveof earth
ly possessions, would induce you to take the lead
in repelling the bare thought of abject submission
to the onemy. Yet peace on other terms is now
impossible. To obtain the sole terms to which
you or i could listen, this struggle must continue
until the enemy is beaten out, of his vain confidence
in our subjugation. Then and not till then, wilb
it be possible to treat of peace. Till then all ten
der of term3 to the 'enemy will , be received as
proof that we are ready for submission, and ffill
encourage him in the atrocious warfare which he
is waging.
I have the honor to be,
rery respectfully, yours,

GOV. VANCE'S PROTEST AGAINST TOE SUS
PENSION OF THE WRIT OF HABEAS COR
PUS. State of North Carolina,
: Executive Department,
y Kaleigh, Feb. Oth, 1SG4.
Jefferson Davis
His Explicit
Mt Dear Sik : Since receiving your letter of the
8th ult., to which it was my intention to have rev,
plied before th", reports have reached me from
kirhmond, which, .if true, would render my reply
unnecf5sary. I hear, with deep regret, that a bill is
certainly expected to pass the Congress, suspending
ha writ of habeas corpus, lhronjrhout the Confedep
ny,
and
that certain arrests will immediately be
made in North Carolina Of course, if Congress
and your Excellency be resolved .upon this as the
only means of repressing disaffection in this State,
it would be a mere waste of time for me to argue
the matter. And yet I should not hold myself guilt
less of the consequences which 1 fear will follow,
did I not add yet another wprd of expostulation to
tho 'many I have already spoken. If the bill refer
red to, about which I can form no opinion until jl
see ir, be,' strictly within the limits ol the Constitu
tion, I imagine the people of this Stale will submit
to it so great is their regard for law. If it is ad
Judged, on the contrary, to be in violation of that
instrument and revolutionary in itself, it will be re
sisted. Should it become a law soon, I earnestly
advise, you to be;cliary of exercising the powers
withfvhieh it did invest you. , Be content to try at
least for a whilf, the moral effect of holding this
power over the heads" of discontented men before
shocking all worshippers of the common law through
xut the world, by hurling freemen, into sheriffless
dungeons for opinion sake. I do not speak this fac
tionsly, or by way of a flourish. IS'or do. I believe
that as an enlightened lawyer, and a Christian states
man, you could feel any pleasure in the performance
of Ruch an ungracious task. I am on the contrary
convinced that you believe it to be the only way to
secure North Carolina in the performances of her
obligations to her Confederates. The misfortune
of this belief is yours, the shame will light upon
those unworthy sons who have thus Sought to stab
their mother because she cast them off. If our citi
zens are left untouched by the arm of military vio
lence, I do not despair of an appeal tOj the reason
and patriotism of the people at the ballot box.
Hundreds of good and true men now acting with,
and possessing the confidence of the party called
Conservatisms, are at work against the dangerous
movements for a Convention ; and. whilst civil law
remains intact will work zealously and with heart.
I expect myself to take the field as soon as the prop
erties of my position will allow me, and shall exert
every effort to restrain . the revolutionary tendency
of public opinion. Never, yet, sir, have the people
of North Carolina refused to listen to their public
men if they show right and reason on their sidel
I do not fear to trust the is-ne now to these potent
weapons in the hands of such men as will wield
them next summer. I do fear to trust bayonets and
dungeons. I endeavored soon after my accession to
the Chief Magistracy of North Carolina, to make
you aware of both the fact of disaffection in this
State and th cause of it. In addition to the many
letters to tou. I have twice visited Richmond, ex-
nresslv to pive vou information on' this Doint.v -The
truth is, as I have often said before, that the great
body of our people have been suspected by their
government, perhaps because of the reluctance with
which they gave up the old Union, .and I know you
will pardon me for saying that the consciousness of
their being suspected, has been greatly strengthen--ed,
by what seemed to be a studied exclusion of the
antissecessiopist from all the more important offices
of the government, even from .those promotions in
the army, which many of them had won with their
brood. Was this suspicion just? And waa there
sufficient effort made to disprove that it existed, if
it really did not xist in Richmond ? Discussion, it
is true, has been unlimited and bitter, and unre
lenting criticism upon your administration has been
indulged in, but where and when have our people
failed you in battla, or withheld either their blood
or theirj. vast resources ? To what exaction have
ihey not submit ted, what draft upon their patriot
ism have they yet dishonored? Conscription, ruth
less and unrelenting, has only been exceeded in the
severity of its execution by the impressment of
property, frequently entrust ed to men unprincipled,
dishonest, and filled to overflowing with all the pet
raleigh; n. bv monday, -uly
ty measures of small minds dressed mj a little brief
authority. . '..,-'!.'. " ! ::- 1 1 '
The files of my office are piled up- with the una
vailing complaints of outraged citbiensi, to whom
redress is impossible. Yet they " have submitted,
and so far performed with honor, their daty to their
country, thongh the voice of their ery natural mur
murs ia set down to tisloyal ty. ; fi do not hold ycu
responsible for all the -pe try annoyances the inso
lence of office, under which our people tise heart

7'y equiury tnat -4 iu serving not the rulers of
tnat country. 1 make no threat, I desire onry with
singleness of purpose and sincerity of heart, to
Bpeak those words of soberness and truth, which'
may, with the blessing of God, best subserve the
cause of my suffering country, j ' " '
Those words I now believe to be the advice herein
given, to refrain from exercising the extraordinary
p-.ocio nwuv w oe g:Ten you oy mo Uongress, at
least until the laat' hope of moral influence being
sufficient, is extinct Though you expressed a fear
in your lust letter that my continued efforts to cons
vniaie were injuaicious, i cannot yet see ju;t cause
forabandoning.it. Perhaps t nm unduly biased in
my judgement concerning-a people whem I lover
and to. whom I owe so much. Though 1 trust not.'
Our success depends not on the numbers engaged to
support our cause, bat upon the zeal and affection.
Hence I have every hope in perruadipg, not one for
cing the sympathies of an unwilling people. The
Legislature of this State meets next May. Two
thirds are required by our Constitution to call a
Convention. This number cannot be -obtained, a
bare majority, vote for submitting the "proposition,
will, in my opinion, be impossible. Under no cir
cumstances can a Convention be assembled in North
Carolina during the present year, in my judgment,
and during next summer the approaching State elec
tions will afford an opportunity for a full and r.nm
plete discussion of all the issues, the result of which
I do not fear, if left to ourselves. If there? be a
people on earth given to be sober second thought,
araeanable to reason and regardful of their plighted
honor, I believe that I may claim that it is the peo
pie of North Carolina.
Very respectfully ; -Your
obedient servant,
Z. B.VANCE.

FIou. J. A. Seddon, Secretary of War
; Dear Sir: Permit me to express the hope that you will
9u?pend, for the present at feast, the enrollment and oon
scription of the State reserves in North Carolina froiu 17
to i 8 and from 45 to 50 years.
Thoir enrolment now. with the uresenl: nrnn(ef. nf thir
j being alled to the field from their crops, causes the most
general consternation and gloom. I ha.re.no hesitation ia
assuring yau .that the partial obstruction even of these men
from their crops, at any time between this and August,
w-oald be followed by the most distressing cosseqnances.
In addition to these considerations I beg leave to re.
mind you that the authorities of this State. would be left
powerless, without the shadow of a militia organization, 0
.enforce obedience to law. Having no second class militia,
as most of the States have, I presume it cannot be the -intention
of ths Confederate government to. reduce a sove
reign Stato to this dangerou. and hnmiliating condition.
Such a course would be utterly at war with tho genius of
our new government, and repugnant to all the professions
of the administration. .t -
Our Legislatare will convene again in tho' latter part of.
May, when I have no doubt sttfps -will betaken to provide
such a militia force as the exhaustion of the country will
allow. Till that time I insist that 'you will leave the pre
cent organization untouched. .
In the meantime the HoraoaaHs now thoroughly or
ganized and pretty well officered, are entirely at your ser
vice, in case of emergency.
