takes the means necessary to the end He should
be more charitable to others-express his own
views but not attempt to reflect those of others,
unless he was more familiar with them than his
communication would indicate, for in doing so he
violates the spirit of his own latin quotation. Let
him express his opinions so that he does no violence
to the opinions of Others JUSTICE.
Especial Correspondence of Union Americana
CLEVELAND, OHIO, Nov. ~, 1860.
'MEssRs EDIroRs do not know as letter hailing
from this Abolition section viii be deemed worthy
of perusal even or if its nativity be waived,
sdered of sufficient interest TO warrant publishing.
Editors generally have way of dispOsing of mat
ters brought before them to suit themselves, so
will send this to be judged to the right or left
as in yourw wisdom you fit This section as all no
dou BIT are aware is intensely Abolition it is the very
Elysium of JOHN BROWNIES; here freelove holds
its sway, GREELEYIsM, Negroism or any other ism,
sufficiently imbrued with fanaticsm upon any topic
has hordes of ardent supporters. The inhabitants
of the Western Reserve, being either from New
England, or descendants of those from there, are
indoctrnated with all the liberal virtues of those
ancienty renowned Purisns, and that faint is in no
ways diminished here. During the election justpass
ed Cleveland has enjoyed herself to its utmost capa
city; almost nightly the Wide Awakes have paraded
the streets To think speak differently from Black
Republican wishes, is almost capital offence and
would quickly be made so were the Reserve an inds1
pendent State. On election day negroes were to be
seen around every POLL distributing Abolition tickets
They worked assidually, sand that day seemed to
think white man fit to associate with Them Cleveland
is beautifully located city its streets are wide and
clean, has park located in central position and
highly priced by its citizens with the exception of the
Court House and Post Office it has no buildings of
architectural note; it has three lines of Street Rail
roads, which are well supported they few ore
horse cars and were the same Over-taxing of the
poor quadruped attempted in any Southern city, it
would meet with public universal execration. The
city is abundantly supplied with water, clear as
crystal from the lake; it is city of residence
than commerce; the citizens seem adverse TO
manufactures and discOuntenance them. Recently
large rolling mill, mile from the centre, was
presented and indicted nuisance. Its quite an
"eatrepo" for copper and iron ore from Lake Supe
rior-which, instead of being smelted here, as it
should be, is driven to other places. Coal to abun-
dance is brought here, but not through any action
or encouragement of the citizens but because this
happens to he the best and nearest point for ship
ment Six years since, as Lake Superior and the
coal regions were about being developed this citys
prospects were bright and prosperous, but through
its neglect to foster and encourage trade and manu-
factures she does less business at the present day
than then; what commerce she now has is actually
forced upon her. and yet the citizens nggard
but lavish in their expenditure of money for adorn
ing and identifying the city. This is one of the
largest wool markets in the United States and yet
an energetic attempt to establish woolen factory
here or in the vicinity has proved abortiye There
are now over two thousand houses and tenements
vacant. The grest lack Of commercial enterprise
is however, easily explained. The men of capital,
usually denominated the solid men, and they are
quite numerous here, have their funds chiefly in
vested in some farther Western city prairie lands
or in shaving institutions, that pays them better
than if invested here, and as this is desirable
point for residence, they wish to keep 1t as such,
where they and their families may be free from
even passing contact with begrimmed artisans or
mechanics so affectonaely spoken of about election
times and so scorned at all other. The panic is as
severely felt here in any other city of the same
amount of business the cause Of it is of course
laid to them d-n SOutherners," an intimation that
each individual vote for their sectional candidate,
LINCOLN contributed to it, is in wise admitted
but so guilty do the leaders of the Republican party
feel upon the subject, that the State Central Com
mttee have felt compelled to issue their manifesto
saying it is very naughty for people to intimate that
LMcoLNs election had anything to do with the panic,
the country was so uprosperous before that panic

such an outrageously deceitful course to obtain

wrong in that; but when man comes to this State
to regain his property in legal manner and through
the lawlesness of its citizens is obliged to STRAIT
agem and secresy to lawfully regain his property,
then these most wise, liberal, and highly virtuous
persons are indignant at deceit. The most bitter
and intense hatred exist here against the Southern
ers and any injury that be done them is consid
cred as righteous and just. in conversation with
gentleman to-day, he remarked that "there no

the Southerners than between the French and Aus

sidered as describing the whole State but only the
Western Reserve. In the central and Southern part
there is a large majority Of liberal, high minded
men of extended views. who can see and detest the
wrong and outrage of neighbor as soon as of

kept from being one Of the most despotic ones in
the Union, it is this majority that kept WADE and
