MR.. Bolts LETTER.

hOhMuNui Jan. - lN'p.
70 the Fdjtor Of the Wig.
Some days ago l. in company with other gentlemen,
made call by letter upon the Hon John NJ Bolts, for
his views upon the various questions and events that
nov agitle and distract the public mind signed that
call because We have fallen upon times when in
danger of being wayed by passion and prejudice
than by reason and patriotism and because Jno Bolts
has shown himself IN the past to possess the calmuess
necessary TO think aud deliberate amidst storm aud OppO
,ton and the courage to declare what he thinks to all
the world. IL my intention to commit myself to
all he might say.
In detailing the causes of our difficulties he has fully
sustained "hs character for Independence, ability, saga
CITY, integrity and truth In his mode OF dealing with
the times may differ somewhat with him to the rem
edy for existing evils, and in the manner OF providing
for the future Mr. Bolts is opposed to putting the entire
CommOnN eath in a state Of d.fence-tO establishing
mories manufacturing implements OF war, and TO put
ting in the hands OF all the ctizes OF the State.
/ am in favor Of doing all this.
Now as practical question TO govern us in our future
action it NAV matter very little whether the Harpers
Ferry loray has been treated right wrong whether
men have taken false view of that and other
kindred evils. We know the past cannot be recalled,
aud that the human material which has BEEN and still is
at work committing outrages upon rs, is beyond the
reach of truth and reason. We must therefore deal with
such things as we find them. No man is more opposed
to disunon than am either for anything that has been
done or for anything likely to be done but in my hum
be opinion, 10 render lrgnla commercially ana SOCIALLY
independent Of the Northern States will in no way inu
riously affect the Union. little retaliation even, may
have a wholesome effect in quieting the phrenzy that
prevails among neighbOrs. 1t is the nature of
in the mass to delight in giving blows when none
turned aud Lis pleasure increases such sport contn
ues; but when it becomes known that blows given will
be followed by blows received with interest little re-
Election teaches that discretion the better part of vaor
aud then hatred and discussion often give place kind
ness aud compromise Commercial independence, and
indeed all sorts Of independence us. Let
try them
There are other views and sentiments in Mr. Bolts
let which have my full assent but they pertain
rather to federal politics than to domestic policy,
feel very little interest in them have aspirations in
public life beyond contributing my humble aid to the de-
veopmeut of the resources of Virginia and the mante
nance OF Virginia institutions. j. J. THOMPSON.

just closed and enough Of mischief has been done to
