The letter Of "lon" further states that the North

as plain the at MONDAY that such insincerity
would be most disgraceful TO those who guilty Of

We have seen and heard of none. The North do not
deny that they parties to it. but that il is constu-

great mass at the North admit their obligations to obey
il as readily as they do any other law.

South towards the whole people Of the North. II the
southern people abandon their own cause, by commit

the Compromise they desert their post and their friends
they betray aulky and querulous disposition unbe

that any enlightened at the South will pursue !
We trust il is not.
The idle rumor about the repeal movement OF Thad.
deus Stevens is beneath notice. What can this man do
more than he has done already A worthy champion,
indeed this representative for the Office which be
sumesi We would rather that such blow should come
from his hand than from any other in Congress But
does he or does "Ion" believe that southern men will
remain quietly in their seats and see such frebrand
thrown again into the halls Of Congress- Such SUBJ
ects are no longer debaabe and is to be hoped that
no southern man, and indeed no American patriot win
permit any such debate to 60 on.
Thaddeus Stevens one OF the most obnoxious in
Congress. He has denounced and mathematical the cit
liens Of the South all occasions He has assaed this
law with the utmost violence and what more can he
and his fellow. abolitoniss do now They threaten
and abuse and calumnate and here their power stops
they can advance not step beyond. Such bugbears
these have alarmed the heated imagination Of "Ion,"
and caused him to indulge In these chmercal specula
tons. We regret ii; for we have too much sincere
personal respect for "Ton believe that his motives
are unworthy OF honest and patriot He is
a most amabe and able man. He has erred. how
ever in judgment; he has been mised by his feelings

traitorous ncendiaries
