by surprise. Notice, therefore, is now given,

EW- The sentiments Of our correspondent
I'll M. N. as expressed in his communication,
we believe, to be the general sentiments Of
this community, but we deprecate discussion.
and we only insert this article to show our
northern friends, that if the determination ex-
pressed by Senator Wilson, in the Senate, on
Friday evening" shall be endorsed by them, TO
any important extent the Union will be in
much greater danger of being Dissolved, than
the naturalization laws are of being repealed.
II is passing strange that those in the Senate,
who profess to be Americans" cannot per-
ceive the object of the enemies Of American"
principles, in irritating and exciting discussion
which can by no possibility do any good, and
which must, if continued, result in mischief
II is obvious and undeniable, that the late
discussion of the slavery question, by the press,
and by the Senate, is the work of the present
administration, and designed to divide and dis
tract the American party" before the north
ern portion of it has become thoroughly ma
tionalized, Ito excite the alarm Of the South,
and cause it to rally in favor of administration
candidates at the ensuing elections. We be-
lieye that Messrs. Forney, Pierce, and Seward,
would rather the Union should be dissolved,
than that Henry A. Wise should be beaten in
Virginia, and that they will agitate the slavery
question at any and all hazards, in the hope OF
securing it by this means.

be pleased to hear from her often. Her senti-

order. Our first lessons in poetry were taken
amongst the Green Mountains, but when we
