from my studies, taste and habit, and l
cannot be induced into il; but will relieve
myself from an arroneous position, how

such inference or imputation.

eve OF uncenjecturable events-That a
stuggle OF unequaled fury was swiftly
approaching us, and that it the ties of the
Uuion came out of it unrent they were
made Of sterner stuff than the history of
the past assured-That that bonds of
the Union had resisted political agitation,
but coull they Withstand religious fury2-
That Abolitionism had travelled from
Political dominion to religious connections
and had infested the whole mind and
heart at the North--That under its palsy
ing touch some Of the strongest chords
that held the Union together had snapped
and that others were a,saed, and, | be
lieved would give way-I said that the
Methodist and Baptist Churches had divi-
ded upon the slavery queston-that the
agitation was embracing the Presbyterian
and Episcopal churches and believed
they too would he rent in twain by i'll

Northern members of that particular
church, were not beyond the reach Of

which l no~ believe to be, radically ab.

impression that | had not been intact
from agitation-This impression mad
obtained from pas ing events and from n
grave and specific declaration Of Mr..
Calhoun. have just referred to the
speech Of Mr.. Calhoun which contains the
declaration and find it ample and conclu-
siye to my MISUNDERSTANDING of the
effect Of the abolition agitation upon the
religious chords which aided to hold the
Union together he said
"The first Of these cords which snapped
under its explosive force (Abolitinnis,n)
was that Of the powerful Methodist Epis.

ties which held il together are all broke

of the Baptist, one Of the largest and
