almost any country church. Alas for these
people, they are, almost without an exception,

tne mos lovely towns in the Union. 1t is cer-

portupity afforded me of learning something

know much more Of the Northern con-
science than before my visit, as have talked
WIN men OF all classes, on matters pertaining
10 our southern institutions. A distinguish
ed methodist minister said to me- II was
raised III Virginia and love her and the whole
southern country, but we here believe slave
~ an evil. Our consciences are against it, and
tnougn we would not interfere wi n it where
IL now exists, we can never consent to it's ex-
tension, and thus we go for Lincoln" This
gentleman had enjoyed an acq uaiD tance with
Jonn Brown, and though he said Brown was
rlghtfully hung, he really seemed to have
mucn admiration for the man
nau long talk with a Republican mem Der
OF the New York Legislature. He wanted
Lincoln elected, $50 that the slavery agitation
might be forever silenced." He believed that
from the economy and integrity of Lincoln's
administration, the Sonth would be led to
lhInk very differently OF the Republicans.
FROM what a Democratic candidate for Con-
gress stated. predict the defeat OF Lincoln in
the State OF New York. He says that thou
lands OF old Democrats and Wings are de.

years Lhey nave oeen cooperating, and now
that the country is in danger, they are going
Tor Union men and meas ures. The excitement
seems 10 be very great, and it is evident that
many are BEGINNING TO believe that the Sou tn
ern heart Is fired, and that the country will
not long survive unless the waves of fanatl-
cism are driven back.
