NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. has prevented
an earlier reply TO the enqiries propounded
by you on 30th June last, 10 the Hon.
Howell Cobb and myself. I did not, in
fact, receive them for some time, after
they We're addressed TO the parties whose
opinions were sought.
You will perceive that have already
given my opinion on many Of the subjects
Of enquiry, in letters which | have written,
and which have been published and exieu~
sivey circulated in the newspapers. Up
on reference to these letters, you will hud
that believe thai the late acts of Congress
are not just and equitable, and that some
Of them acting most inuriously on the
South, are violative of the fundamental
principles Of the Constitution.
have also given it as my opinion, that
the people of a State, in their sovereign
capacity, have the right to. secede peacea-
bly, from the Union whenever in their
judgment their safety and happiness require
it; and that the General Government has
no constitutional authority 10 coerce her
to remain in the Union. Iu my Judgment
then a requisition upon a State 20 furnish
military force to ccerce a State to remain
in the Union, or to enforce against its cit
izens the laws of tho United States, afer it
has seeded from the Union, would be
without warrant in the Constitution, and
no Executive officer sworn to support the
Constitution, and entertaining these opin-
ious, could conscientioEsly obey Id. 4
should no.. But no State ought to be ems
couraged to secede from the Union by the
hope OF aid from the public authorities Of
one of The States remaining in the Confed-
eracy. Such succor could not be afforded
without a violation Of the Constitution.
IF State secede, she converts herself
into foreign nation, can enemy in war,
in peace friend" have the honor 70 be
Respectfully your obedient servant,

by the way, what has become of the
new Austrian constitution Promulgated by
the present emperor on his ascension tO

guaranteed the liberty Of the press, trial by

republican rights. IL was proclaimed with

nobody has heard of it. The young empe-

of woman, tender hearted and sympathetic.
Her courage and resolution is that of man,
while her voice partakes of each. She char

her such a mysterious formation. She told
me that she was born in the city of London

studied Anatomy, from thence to8Ncw York,

SABBATH EVENIN q.

IT'S holy time. The evening shade
Steals with soft control
Ger nature as thought of heaven
Steals DER the human soul;
And every ray from yonder blue,
And every drop Of falling dew.
Seem to bring down to human woes
From heaven a message Of repose.
Ger yon tall rock the solemn trees.
A shadowy group incline;
Like gentle nuns in sorrow bowed
Around their holy shrine;
And o'er them now the night inds blow
50 calm and still, tho music low
Seems the mysterious voice Of prayer
Soft echoed on the evening air.
The mist, like incense from the earth,
Rise to God beloved,
And Ger the waters move a. erst
The Holy Spirit moved;
Tor rents voice, the waves low hymn,
And all ca r.h's thousand voices raise
Their song fworship, love and praise.
The gentle sisterhood of flowers
Bend low their lovely eyes,
Or gaze through trembling tears of dew
Up TO the holy skies;
And tho pure stars come out above,
Like sweet and blessed things Of love,
Bright signals in the e!heriAl dome
20 guide the parted spirit home.
There is a spirit OF blessednez
In air and earth and heaven,
And nature wears the blessed look
OF a young saint forgiven;
Oh, who at such an hour OF love,
Can gaze on all around, above,
And no; kneel down upon the sod;
With nature's se,f to worship God!
