MEssRs. EDITORS AS have just had long
and very agreeable conversation with the Hon
Washington Hunt at the Chief Engineers Office
can assure you that the statement in your paper
on Saturday, that he had written letter declin-
ing the Anti.rent nomination, and saying he
would execute the law, is erroneous. Mr.. Hunt
has not only made liberal subscription to our
cause, but has satisfied me that he is, in senti-
ment, all right. Hehas explained the telegraphic
communication to our entire satisfaction. II we
had been as cunning in getting rid of our rent
as he will be in getting elected, we should long
since have had all our obligations cancelled.
can say no more at present, but shall have
a pleasant story to tell you after the election.

A candid confession is good for the soul,s SO

dually, for they will be weak in the knees fol

not entirely satisfactory to the people OF Georgia
is nevertheless acquiesced in by them, becaus,
they love the Union and desire its perpetuity.--

South, even in the minds ofthose most reluctant
to be convinced:
awe of the South wish to know our true po-
sition we wish to know whether we are TO en-

as is our devotion to the Union, we are not will
ling to live within it, save on terms of the moi
perfect equality terms alike honorable to all par
ties.
But few months past, like others, we regard
ed it as almost sacrilege to hint at the remotest
possibility of dissolution of this Union-the
sundering of the bands which hold together the
fairest fabric of the earth--the Model Government,
but now this unpleasant necessity Is forced upon
the South--the necessity Of saying to the North
in the voice Of solemn warning, "thus far shall
thou go, but no farther" '

A Sad Truth
We commend to the consideration Of the
Southern people the following reflections, which
we extract from the Mobile Herald and Tribune.
Our worst enemies are of our own household.
Should those who turn their fire on their friends
at home instead Of the foe abroad, be trusted or
encourageds Let an aroused people answer. !.
One reason of the diversity Of opinion around
US on important public questions is, that the
sources which the public relies on for informa-
ton are false to their trust We speak of the
mere party newspapers. These instruments
have their parties first to serve--trnth commands
their aid secondly. They, therefore, suppress
everything which is unfayorable to their party,
and emblazon everything detrimental to the
party of their opponents. Itcomes of this that
as most men read only their party organs, they
know only what is going on on one side--and
that imperfectly, for exaggeration sits at the
helm Of your thorough partisan press. We al.
lude not now to those presses which have risen
above their party ties They are numerous
among US, and deserve all honor and succor.
From this comes diversity Of opinion, and
men who are alike interested in the public wei
fare, are ready to cut each Others throats, simply
because they see nothing from an honest, true
unbiased point Of view.
In the difficulties now existing, we attribute
our divisions mainly to this cause. In all hon
esty and truth We can say, judging from tht
! manifestations daily made at the North, thai
there never was a time when there was so little
respect there for the Union, or so thorough ,
determination to hazard its stability in attempts
to control the South. There never was pc
riod Of time SO short as that which has elapsed
since the adjournment Of Congress, wherein tht
anti-slavery feeling grew with a rapidity so ap
palling. Evidences from sources which make
and mould public opinion, we have given II
abundance; but not one tithe Of those which
are scattered everywhere through the Easterr
journals. So v Dowr
here disaffected presses tell us daily that tht
men OF the Sonth who demand justice are dis
unionists, yet not a word is uttered to show thai
the parties at the North are precipitating dis
union. Not syllable is spoken against Seward
and the great body which sustaits him--not ,
sentence printed to show how the progress o
the anti-slavery feeling is overwhelming al
other considerations of public policy. If these
men are not the true disunionists, we should lik,
some one to show us why. E.a .-.
