EAR SrR-Your letter OF the Goth ull., which only
reached day two since In consequence Of being
directed TO my former instead Of my present place o.
residence need not inform YOU perhaps, excited il me
feelings OF deep regret, not to say morti6cann fully
concede the right TO others choosing to surrender
ii myself, Of forming and expressing those sentiments
which the exgencies Of the times demand and public
interests require II is not my purpose, therefore, in the
slightest degree arragn the right which you possess o.
yielding your cordial and hearty support 10 the cause OF

Of the black republicans that Mr. Lincoln has the re-
hottest chance Of carrying solitary State south of Ma
son and Dixons iine or even California Oregon how
ever ublant his friends may be just at this time the
probable result in the latter State Concede TO him there
FORE FOR the sake of the argumentfor II only this
ground that would do so-that he carry every other
