II is here as in New Orleans-te allabsorb<
ing topic continues to be our political affairs.
Opinion here is generally opposed to secession :
but the sentiment is becoming more decided, and
we will have to go with the South. Our feelings,
instincts and interests will cause US to gravtate in
that direction. My own views arc, that the North
ern people are 50 opposed, in some shape or other
to Me peculiar institution Of the South, that sep
aration is inevitable. 1t is only question Of time
We may talk as much sentiment as We please of
the Union, but the States composing it are not
united. There is too much clashing Of views and
interests to be united people any longer; and

Promptness and decision is all the South requires
to eonsummate their wishes, and if there is only
united spirit among them, the North is check
mated. To force a united South would require
more blood and treasure than they could spend,
and must prove futile in the end, and that they
