issue forced upon them by the ultraists
of their own section, abundant evidences
are daily presented to us. The following
is an extract from the senior of a promi-
nent mercantile house in Baltimore, en-
dorsed as among the most prosperous,
extensive and reliable business firms in
in the State by competent authority.
The writer says:
al still do not feel seriously alarmed.
l want to see this vexed question brought
to point, and though have done moth
ing myself TO bring it on, l am willing
to take the consequences, and would pre-
fer to do SO rather than be placed back
where we were before. This may ap-
pear like ignorance, or blindness, or rash
ness, but / have an assurance that the
move will promote the true welfare Of
the whole country. And while | trem-
BILE sometimes for the immediate conse-
quences look forward with hope TO the
future. have the belief that an over
ruling Providence will bring about great
and good ends that we do not foresee.
/ believe that the excitement at the
South will increase to such an extent
that the whole country will be thorough
ly alarmed; ard when Congress meets,
that they will at once take up the case,
and settle it to the satisfaction of all par
ties.
Baltimore, Nov. IS, 1867
The head of one of the leading bank
ing institutions in Baltimore, says;
Let it come it will be over the soon
er. We have heard it threatened long
enough. If have no rights or proper
ty in the South, want to know it.
Another letter from an influential par
ty says;
We all feel in much better spirits
and believe that we have heard the worst
news from the South, and that in a few
days the quiet conservative people will
make themselves heard.
The very large Bell and Douglas vote
in Georgia, Alabama Mississippi and
Louisiana is guaranty that nothing
rash will be affected; and Maryland
Virginia, Tennessee, Missouri, Texa:
and Arkansas will not listen to disunior
on any terms.
I still feel, as have ever felt since
the election, rejoiced that the question is
brought to an issue and is settled
When it is taken in consideration tina
all the writers Of the above letters voted
for Bell, it will be understood that tht
interests of the Union are safe in the
hands of the Union men of the South
That the Southern Union are perfect,
able to take care of the Southern dis
union men, is fact that but few day

the following significant fact:
We have from the best authority tina
a large military equipment house in Phil
adelphia, for some considerable time afte
the first talk of secession, received let
tiers from the South inquiring the cos
per man of such equipment. The hous
went TO considerable trouble in makinl
out various estimates according to tn
form or nature of the information sough
and invariably replied to their many cor
respondents. The range of cost wa
from forty to fifty dollars per man. The
have never received an order in re
spouse from either individual or compa
ny. Forty dollars was too much to pa,
for whim.'
