PnILADELruiA, February IL. 1860.
H. Editor: When had the pleasure Of meet
ing you in Lynchburg last Summer, you request,
ed me 10 write you an oceasi nal letter, especially
referring to any topics Of political interest Du-
ring the Autumn, very little occhrred hero to re-
quire special notice, beyond what our newspapers
furnished you but since the recen, events invalv
ing sectional controversy. ] have designed avail
ing myself Of your suggestion, in the hupe of con-
trLuting. slightly. To the correction of those
ill-advised errors which seemed nj one time pre-
valent. Professional and othor engagements have
somewhat delayed the falflment of my purpose
but probably words oil moderation will have more
effect a. the present, when, as | atm happy to be-
lieye the excited feelings 80 lately existing have
been caimed by tho influence Of time and rea-.-,
on the good sense Of our respective localities. 1t
was not surprising that much sensation was caus
cd in Virginia by the orny Of John Brown, which
was not only cicked but toothardy that it very
naturally seemed at first to have more substan-
tisl basis than in reality the case; and it was
difficult to believe that such an attempt had been
made by so ANAL an invading force without nc
tfre support. This impression was perhaps also
strengthened BY the exyavagant and basphemous
eulagies ON Brown pronounced by fanatics in va
| rious parts Of the North; though it appeared
that such individuals were very few in number,
and had not tho least idea oi risking their own
safety by imitatipg the example of the man whose
conduct they 60 highly applauded
Ina city like ours, Of six hundred thousand in
habitants, q few such utraists may of course be
found; but it3has been truly remarked that the
abolitionists in Philadelphia do not constitute ev-
en- 90 large proportion Of our numbers rs tho
convicts in our Penitentiary. and there is there
fore no more reason. on their account to call us
an abolition than a conrict community. These la
natics las usual endeavor to make up, by noise,
for the fewness OF their numbers; but no one who.
lik myself, attended the recent Union Meeting
ct Jsyness Hall, and Witnessed the enthusiasm
there manifested for the Union and Constitution.
could doubt for moment that Philadelphia is
prsSminently loyal to her Federal obligations.
The bulk Of our pupalation follow their usual en-
lployments. without deeming it requisite to mpart
nctitous Importance to these agitators by proclai-
ming their dissent from their REASONABLE doc
tsinss; bus when there seems, rs Of late, peculiar
lpfcpristy in such demonstration, no voices are
more energetic than theirs. SO far as my observ-
iafien extends, there are few places where there
exists more general friendly sentiment towards

TIE POLITICAL CRISIS.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 5.-Amongst the propositions pri-
vatey discussed in reference to the present political
bes is one looking the appointment Of a delegation
by the conservative members of Congress from the
holding States 10 proceed the South Carolina
ton with the view Of having a conference aud making
an appeal to that State TO pause in her present move
ment.
The suggestion is made in intelligent circles that when
the special committee Mr. Botelers resolution sh al
have been announced the influential and conservative
men Of each State communicate with the members Of
the committee herefrom thus contributing to the xtent
Of their power practicable mode for quoting the
present political excitement Several schemes have al
ready been discussed-one Of them is to make effort
to conciate least large majority Of the saveholdrg

IRENE States may pursue.
