! DEAR SIR: BE not astonished at any extraordi
nary announcements by telegraph during the next
few weeks. The earth, and air, and mems hearts
are charged with infammatory material and no
one can tell at what moment the moral and polti
cal volcano shall burst, and involve this fair city

Since the day when Mr.. Wheeler was sezed by
the black followers Of Wilson, Fred Douglas,
Greeley, Johnston, q Co., and threatened with I'M

AT the beginning the representation from the
North and South in Congress were as nearly equal
in number as possible and II was the purpose OF
both parties to keep them so. Nevertheless, the
North has now double the number of the South /;
and yet these Black Republicans speak Of Southern
dggrsssions, Of the intrusions of the Slave Power,
and, in the name Of political equality, declare that
no more slave States south or north of 36 deg. 80
