honor and safety of my State are involved.

struggle where the issue is life or death
My friends ask for my views and counsel
Not TO respond would be degrading to my
self and unjust 10 them. have according

an address which contains the calm and
solemn convictions of my heart and Judg-
ment.
The views which sincerely entertain,
and which therefore am bound 10 exp ress

The existence of this difference would ex-
pose me if ! should remain in my present
place, TO unjust suspicious, and put you ia
false position. The FIRST of these conse-
quences could bear well enough, but |
will not subject you to the last.
My withdrawal has not been occasoned
by anything you have said or done. Whilst
differing from your Message upon some of
lis theoretical doctrines, as well as from The
hope so earnestly expressed that the Union
can yet be preserve there was no Prac!i-
cal result likely 10 follow which required

An Imposler About.

A few days since several of our citizens
were imposed upon by well-dressed and
rather prepossessing individual, who repre-.
sen;ed himself as being engaged in collect
ing funds in aid Of The poor. He took es-
pecial care TO call on ladies when he sup
posed their husbands were not about, ex-
pecting, no doubt, 10 be able to influence
them sooner than the sterner sex. He rep
resented at one place that he had received
fifteen dollars from certain clergyman,
aud Oil the strength of this representation
received two dollars from the lady called
upon. He received other sums at other
places, and at last suspicion arose that
all was not right, and persons whom he rep.
resented as having contributed were called
upon, and the imposition was discovered
He has no: been heard from for several day
past, and it is supposed that he has gone to
other parts TO operate. A sharp look out
had better be kept for him-Easton Sentinel

BLACK REPrBLIcAKIsn DYING OUT IN Mas.
sAcHusETTs.-The municipal elections held
in Massachusetts on Monday last show
most conclusiveiy that the people OF that
benighied, negro-worshi2ping region, are
at last geuing their eyes open, and are iIrn-
ing from the sectional nullifying path they
have been so long travelling. In the city OF
Boston the Black Republican candidate for
Mayor was beaten by s,Os7 majority. The
republican candidates for Mayor were -Iso
beaien in Worcester and Newburypor. II
is gratifying TO every lover of his iOkols
country to see the change of sentiment that
is taking place in The North. Our fear is
the reaction cones 20 late TO save the Union.
