publish in our columns for the purpose
of noticing one or two points briefly,
~preiacing our remarks with an e1'
preston of qualification to see en-
enlargement of u %pccunlary nature
given to the Day Book, since it is a
paper that brenthes fearlossly forth
the true spirit in regard to the institu'
ton of slavcry--that does not look
upon it AS an evil best TO be borne,
but argues, and proves It's argument,
that slavery is blessing, sent by God,
and exists in obedience to His design.
The Day Book draws a faithful and II
very wide line of dcmarkation be-
tween the white man and the negro

races, and shows up feerIcssly and
faithfully the hydrahcadod, insolcnt
doctrines Of the aboliiionists Of the
North. In short, its views arc right,
sound and substantial, and if they

EDITORS DAY Book:
Enclosed find twenty dollars, for which
send your weekly piper to the following per-
sons. *T** .an glad to see you take the
position you do in regard to Brown and his
corfcdcrGtcs. The only regret we have here
about the matter (savlng the lives of south
crn mtn that were LOST is ihat Brown did
not have Il partial success, and get fully un'
der way with about half the negroes Of Vir.
ginia, and thereby induce all enemies to the
institutions of the South to flock to his stand
ard. that we might really know tsomctIlne
ofthc two parties in the North. see by to.
days mail that there is some probability of an
attempt to rescue Brown. Although that
would be regarded as Il great calamity by
some, there are thousands Of Us here who
think il would be fortunate. Although anx-
ions for the Union, with our Constitutional
rights, we think there arc many fanatics in
the North That are disposed to interfere with
the institutions OF slavery. and its natural
expansion, that the contest will most proba-
bly, have 10 be settled by an appeal TO arms,
(slilI we hope such will not be the case }
II, however, it has to be settled in that way,
we arc not disposed to defer it to n future
day, and leave such II legacy to our children,
The events OF the past fcw.wccks have made
the South n unit, and nearly all occupy the
ground that Il portion Of US did in 1880,
Consequently the contest could not come in
II more fortunate time. May the ruler OF
the deslinics of nations open the eyes Of
sensible men in the North, to see what they
are forcing upon themselves md the South,
and may il be avcrtcd. But ifsuch n calam,
ity is in store for US, may lie hasten the
tine aud not reserve it for my children.
Yours, e. A. 5.
Like onr correspondent, we too
should have not cared much for the
loss Of a little more blood, if by that
means the South could have deter.
mined the strength of the conscrva.
tive party North. and the strength OF
the hot-hcadcd abolilionists. When
we notice no votes being baIlottcd
for Sherman, the Republican, to be
Speaker in Congress, and kn0W those
ITO votes to be given by black.hear>
ted abolitionistS, we must confess our
confidence in the North is shaken, and
we feel by no means like singing poems
to Il GLORIOUS Union" Unless there
comes a change very soon for the bet.
ter, little ought p Southern man care
to remain in Union with fanatics
who would be willing to lay, and
doubtless are laying deep schemes and
diaboIical plots against those we hold
near and dear to US. There is no
glory in belonging to the Union, when
that Union ceases to confer upon us
the benefits and privileges originally
intended and formerly carried out.
but which of late has made invasion
after invasion into our domestic af.
fairs-has cheated us with wooden
horse compromises until Southern
men are becoming a unit as to their
hatred of the North, and disregard for
the GLORIOUS Union"
We love this Union rs dearly as
any one, and for that Union in con,
flict with a foreign foe, we would
fight, whether right or wrong. But
not the memory of our Revolutionary
fathers who sleep the sleep of DEATH
not the influence of the stars and
stripes, which make. our bosom swell
with emotions of patriotism-not the
tongue that is common to all our land
--not the GLORIOUS Union itself
shall cause us to forget the SOUTH
our own, our native land, to our heart
