It affords US pleasure to publish the following
tract from letter handed to rs by friend, which
embodies very sensible and patriotic sentiments de-
serving the most serious consideration among all
fleeing men. The writer is now a citizen of
Northwestern, State who emigrated from North
Carolina few years since, and at one time held
high official position under our State government:
"The election is over, and Mr.. Lincoln has been
chosen President The papers reach full of notes
OF preparation by the Southern States for strife.
South-Carolina is ready, Alabama is nearly so,
Georgia will join in, and then one State after anoth
er, until we reach Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia
and North Carolina. We here in Illinois and Iowa
are certain to sufer-are more exposed to every
neighbor-have no Businesses and no outlet-haye
many temptations to be invaded, the grass will
support an enemy's horse and the beef his army.
Kentucky and Tennessee are hard by-their noun
tans are secure retreat Buthad yOu better uai
Lincoln dare not be aggressive. The Senate and
House are both against him. He cannot appoint q
Cabinet disagreeable to the South. He goes into
office like John Quincy Adams with his hands tied.
Ills election has been Constitutional If the South
ern States secede a reunion will hardly take place.
New England will join the Canadas-C California, Ore
gon, and all west of the Rocky mountlins will form
one government The mouth and source Of the Mis-
sssippi will be at perpetual strife about the naviga
ton OF that river, and war will take place among
brethren The army, the navy the revenue, the
forts and arsenalS and public lands the public debt
are all fruitful and inevitable sources of conten-
ton and war. The Postoliice department-who can
see the beginning and foretell the end? France and
England will be anxious and interested lookers-on,
and the first blow strike will end in military
despotsm while attempted instructions the part
of the slaves will be but excuses for their indis-
criminate massacre
The noE-slaveholding population will not submit
to their equality, will they solely do the fight
ing and be at the expense of protecting that proper
ty in which they have no community Of interest
The Southern States will sufer-the North will
suffer, and the last hope for our independence will
be gone hope this thing will go by without harm
Let it pass at least until the end of the present adj
ministration."

FORTRESS MoNRoE.-Fort Monroe (0ld Point Com
fort is said to be rendered one of the most for
mida5le fortresses in the country. Its armament
has been improved in many respects and looks truly
formidable. The number of guns mounted is no
less than two hundred and eightyfive, which throw
twelve thousand four hundred and seventeen pounds
of iron There are besides, ten mor:ars and five
siege howtzers. The new fort commonly known
as the Rip Raps, WILL when perfectly completed,
have one hundred and eight eight-nch Columbiads
and fifty-four forty-two guns all casemated. and
eight ten inch Columbiads and forty-six nine-inch
ditto, all amberbette. Nothing that could be done
to perfect the ensemble of the battery has been
elected.

AMERICAN WINE-The grape crop has been very
large this season. and the fruit of fine quality. Ma
tive wine therefore, should he plenty and cheap
One dollar per bottle the price at which the still
wines made in river counties are sold, is too
much. They can be manufactured, and of better
quality, too, than any we have seen in this market
at a cost which should enable the grower to sell
them at sc to s. dozen. The culture of the grape
will, one day, be source of immense value in this
country, and we shall produce wine equal to any in
the world. The sooner the better. The best pre-
ventire of national intemperance is pure and cheap
wine. -

Our CoTToN TRADE-The cotton trade between
Wilmington and New York seems to be increasing
at very satisfactory rate. They have shipped but
little directly to Europe, but the enterprisng Will
mington merchants think of doing so next season.
The crop in North Carolina the past cotton year is
reported to be nearly 100000 bales. We learn that
the steamship Roanoke was loaded last week at
Norfolk with one of the largest cargoes that have
ever left that Port and all the wharves at Norfolk
evince unusual activity this fall in the shipment Of
the article.

Gov. PACKER AND THE ABoLIrIoNIsrs--Go
Packer, of Pennsylvania, few days ago, received
letter signed by James Redpath, on behalf of sew
eral young men in Boston, requesting him to attend
a Convention in that city to devise measures to
abolish slavery Gov. Packers reply is as follows:
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, Harrisburg,
November 81, 1850
SR:-In my opinion the young men whose
names attached to the foregoing letter would
better God and their country by attending to
their own business. John Brown was rightfully
hanged, and his fate should be warning to others
having similar proclivities.

charged him with having made "peevish speech,

your habit, that he had done so because Mr.. Cling
