UNION MEETING AT New HAvEN.-An enthusiastic
Union meeting was held in New Haven, Connecti-
cut, on Wednesday evening. The meeting was
presided over by Hon. w. W. Boardman, and ad-
dressed by Hon. Ralph /. Ingersoll and others
The following resolutions with others were adopt
ed
Meeting as citizens and not as partsans, while
we would avoid the expression ofsentiments which
can in any way be tortured to the prejudice of our
respective political convictions, we nevertheless
cordially unite in dscountenancing all attempts to
sunder into sectional divisions those organizations
founded in honest differences of political opinions
which ought to be co-extensive with the Union;
and we reprobate as the chief cause of these divi
sIons, and the prolific source of danger to the
Union, the "eXpedients of designing men" to ac-
qulre influence in one section by revling the nsti-
tutlons or misrepresenting the opinions of other
sections, remembering that against this Washing
ton warned us, as evil that would inevitably
"render alien, those who ought to be bound to-
gether by fraternal affection"
That regarding the States of this Union as
sovereign and equal under the Constitution we
fully recognize the right of each to regulate its
own domestic affairs free from any foreign inter-
ference; that the recent attempt to ncie serve in
surrection in the State of Virginia is an alarming
instance of the violation of this prnciple imposing
upon all good citizens the duty of expressing their
utter adherence of the crime and of denouncng its
actors and their abettors and sympathiZers-and
that IN unison with true, loyal and patriotic pub
lie sentiment, regard the noisy efforts of a few
criminal invasion to the dignity of martyrdom as
tanatica in their inception and abortive in their
results.
That tender to the State of Virginia our
congratulations that by the energy of the proper
authorities the law has been upheld supreme and
the country spared the consummation of so mon
strous design, and we add our assurance that
should the time ever come when the physical force
of this State shall needed to repel suppress an
invasion upon their peace and sovereignv it will
be most promptly and cordially given.
Judge Ingersoll, during his remarks, said that he
had lived through two wars, but he never knew of

WASHINGTON IRVING on COOPER


UNPUBLISHED LETTER DISCOVERED.
The subioned note from Mr.. Washington Irving,
written to soon after the publication OF Mr.. Coop
er's ''Pathfinder, and which wef find mis-iIed among
the letters of the ''loved and lamented" Willis Gay
lord Clark, will form appropriate opening to a
few remarks which we had intended to make upon
an able article in the last number Of the North
american Rerie'c, upon James Fennimore Cooper
and his writings:
''My dear Clark: | hope you have performed
your promise and that we shall see an extended
critique on COoper's new work in your next num-
ber in which the author will receive ample Justice.
| have lust read the 'Pathfnder" and it has given
me a still higher opinion than both of Cooper's
head and heart. 1t is an admirable production; full
of noble pictures of exalted virtue in the humber
paths OF life The characters of the Pathfinder
and Mabel Dunham' are noble conceptions, and
capitally sustained The old salt water tarcaptain
also, is masterpiece, with his nautical wisdom,
his contempt for fresh water, and his point no
point logic. Let no one say, after reading Mabel
Durham, that Cooper cannot draw a female char
acter. 1t is beautiful illustration of the female
virtues under curious trials, some Of the most
terrific, Others of the most delicate and touch
ing nature The death-bed scene where she
prays beside her father is one OF the most Affect
ing things | have ever read; and yet how COM
pletev free from any over-wrought sentiment or
pathos.
"The proof to me of the great genius displayed
in this work is the few and simple elements with
which the author has wrought out his effects.
The story has nothing complicated; it is q mere
straightforward narrative; the characters arc
few.
