Mr.. Editor:
Ii was stated in a prece
ding number that the disclosures ofCoI
Williams would form the subject orou,
next consideration, and they are sucl
as give US if true, an awful ahd ar
alarming picture, 10th of our presen
and future situation; and here it VIII f.
remembered, that they are the unsoli.
cited declarations Of friend, lot the
surmlses and conjectures of ar enemy.
that they are the voluntary confessions

OF an opponent. They are the decIara-
tons Of one, who on all other subjects
