The apprehension of the Black Repub-
licans, under the exposure of their colleagues
in Congress, and under the pressure of pub.
lie sentiment, outside, may be guessed from
the following letter in defence of SHERMAN
which Mr.. MORGAN, late M. @. from New
York volunteers
EXTRACT FROM LETTER OF HON. E. B. MORGAN.
AURORA, December s, 1859.
MY DEAR SIR have, within the last few
moments, observed in the New York papers
your remarks in the House to this effect -
"that you had no recollection of ever having
signed the recommendation of Helpers book"
The facts are these, and you may recollect
them. called at your seat during the session.
while you was much engaged, and requested
your signature. Your reply was, "That you
had never seen the work-knew nothing of it.
If you gave your name it would be to oblige
me, and entirely upon the confidence you le.
posed in me that it was all right. =
Very truly yours,
Hon. JOHN SHERMAN.
Mr.. MORGAN is brother.in-law, we believe,
of SEWARD, and was the representative of
Cayuga in the late Congress. His alibi :"
may help SHERMAN, but at the expense Of
SEWARD. Ns,.-. III

SPEAKING of the failure of Cook & Sar-
gent, bankers at Davenport, the Rock ISL
and Argus says $50 great was the public
confidence in this firm that widows, orphans,
laborers and business men made their de.
posits there. 1t is reported that they had
on deposit from one hundred thousand to
one hundred and seventy.6ve thousand dol
lars, and that no arrangement has been
made to save the depostors from loss, 1t is
also said that they have, by trust deed,
placed their property in the hands Of AN
TOME LIZ CLAIRE, GEO. L. DAVENPORT and
HIRAM PRICE, to secure these gentlemen for
endorsing their paper, and that these per-
sons are the only ones provided for in any
manner Mr.. EBENEzER Cook is reported
very seriously ILL., and fears are expressed
that his reason will give way"

The leviathan steamship Great East
ern" is certainly in bad way. Her
history from the outset has been only
series of misfortunes, financial and mechani.
cal, till now several of those who originally
embarked in the enterprise have been
reduced to bankruptcy, and BRUNEI and
STEVENSON, her chief designers, passed have
away. The ship herself appears to have
demonstrated nothing, or in any degree
served to promote nautical science. "Vault-
ing ambition has o'erleaped ITSELF" but the
result is an occasion only for regret. A
Liverpool contemporary suggests that Amer
ican capitalists should finish the job-a
proposition which is not likely to meet with
prompt acceptance. The Great Eastern
and Atlantic cable are the two huge failures
OF the century.

Black Republican Programme.

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Herald says under date of Dec.
25th:
Some disclosures have just been COM
municated to leading Republicans in this
city, which occurred in the secret caucus of
the leading Black Republicans convened
last week at the Astor House, in advance
of the meeting OF the Republican Commit.
tee. Some forty or fifty leading chiefs were
summoped privately, including Governor
Banks, Gov. Morgan, Messrs. Fessenden,
Lincoln, Cameron, Dayton, and Gov.
Chase, to deliberate on the programme of
1860. There was much discussion on the
present aspect of affairs, and great harmony
OF opinion that the times called for more
liberality and conservatism that the " ire.
pressible conflict" must be ignored for the
present, and all the elements of opposition
gathered on some such names as Bates, OF
Missouri, for President, and Morgan, or
Banks, for Vice President. It was pledged
that Pennsylvania and New Jersey could
both be relied on for Bates, his views on the
tariff being acceptable to these States. It
was pledged that thousands of Old Wings
now voting for Democrats in Illinois, Indi.
ana, and Ohio, could be relied on for Bates:
that electoral tickets could be run in all the
border slave States, with fair prospect of
success. Maryland, Delaware, and Missouri
were set down as certain. It was urged
that Bates had never been mixed up with
the Know Nothings; that he was opposed
to the extension Of slavery, but national in
bis views, and to whose Inauguration the
South could offer no resistance. The
prospect of Southern submission to Stewards
election was thoroughly canvassed. Some
took the ground that the South would resist;
but all agreed better not risk it in the pre-.
sent infamed state of Southern feeling.
Weed and Morgan were unwilling that
Seward should thus be cast aside, and utter.
ed their solemn protest against it. It was
at this secret meeting that the call adopted
by the Republican Committee was arranged
so as to unite the opposition. They even
went so far as to discuss the question of
Cabinet programme, being as follows:
Banks, Secretary of State.
Cameron, Secretary of the Treasury.
Lincoln, Secretary of the Interior.
Pettigrew, of South Carolina, Attorney
General.
Bolts, Secretary of War.
Bell, Secretary of the Navy.
Baker, of California, Postmaster General.
1t was agreed that Seward should 90 as
Minister to England, and take his chance
for 1864.

UNDER THE SNOW.

From the Home Journal.
The sky looks pale through misty veil;
The winter wind walls loud
And cloud shapes grieve, as they rapidly weave
The cold still earth shroud.
Now, spirits in white, with footsteps light.
Come trOOping down the sky
Like shapes of dream, or like angels they
seem,
AS they float so airiy by.
Oh, the winter snow the winter snow
We loved it once full we'll
And with childish shout, ringing merily out,
Hailed the fleecy shower as it fell.
But now since we know, that under the snow,
Hid from the light of day,
There are treasures fair-treasures most rare,
In darkness hidden away.
Our gladness is Ger, and we love no more
To see the snow fall come;
For heavy chill, and sense of ill,
1t brings to our heart and home.
Oh, the treasures fair the treasures so rare
Hidden under the snow,
Are not the sweet flowers that in summer
hours
Set mount and meadow a.glow.
Something more bright to our yearning sight,
Something far dearer than they
Is lying low. under the snow,
On this bleak, sad winter day.
If We think with dread of the blossoms dead,
Under this covering chill,
What deeper woe must or sad hearts know
For that something dearer still
oh, snow. flakes fair fall light as air
Fall light and soft, pray,
On the treasures we yet so wildly regret,
Buried, and hidden away

I0e Day OF compromises at an A1AAN
1t is well known that for some days past Senator
WADE Of Ohio old BEN WADE as he is familiarity called
by his admring friends has been expected to strike
the key note for the Black Republicans in and out
Of Congress 1t has been given out from day to day
by the Washington correspondents thai he was pre-
pairing to define the position which his party neid in
relation to the present crisis, and which they intend
to maintain Having obtained the floor on Friday
last he spoke on Monday. 1t will be seen from the
report of his speech, published in our telegraphie
columns this morning, that if his speech is express
sive of the sentiments of his party the last lingering
hope of such an adjustment would preserve the
Union is blasted. He announces in unmistakable
language that 4" the day Of compromises is at an
end" He proceeds:
After the experience we have had in Congress it
is absolutely ridiculous to talk about them. The
moment the American people cut loose from the
sheet anchor of liberty that moment the Republic
is at an end. We must submit to the uumistakable
verdict of the people. He said he could yield TO no
compromise; we had won the victory and as well as
others hadnO compromise to make. The controversy
must be met at once by the Constitution, and

TO THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED
STATES.
Recommendation.


Numerous appeals have been made to me by pious
and patriotic associations and citizens in view OF
the present distracted and dangerous condition of
our country. TO recommend that a day be set apart
for HUMILIATION, Fasting and PRAYER throughout the
Union.
In compliance with their request and my own
Eense of duty, designate FRIDAY THE 4TH DAY OF
January 1861, for this purpose and recommend that
the People assemble that day, according to their
several forms of worship, to keep it as a solemn
Fast
The Union Of the States is at the present moment
threatened with alarming and immediate danger;
panic and distress of a fearful character prevail
throughout the land; our labOFing population are
without employment, and consequently deprived Of
the means of earning their bread Indeed. hope
seems 70 have deserted the minds of men. All
classes are in a state of confusion and dismay, and
the wisest cOunsels Of our best and purest
wholly disregarded.
In Thu the hour of our calamity and peril to
whom shall we resort for relief but to the God of
our fathers2 His omnipOtent arm only can save US
from the awful effects of our own crimes and fol-
hes-our own ingratitude and guilt towards our
Heavenly Father.
Let US. then, with deep contritiOn and penitent
sorrow unite in hUmbling ourselves before the Most
High in confessing our individual and national SINS
and in acknowledging the justice Of our punish
ment. Let Us implore Him to remove from our
hearts that false pride Of opinion which would i'm
pei US to perseyere in wrong for the sake of consist
ency, rather than yield Just submission to the I'M
forcseen exigencies by which we are now surround
ed. Let US with deep reverence beseech him to
restore the friendship and goodwill which prevailed
in former days among the people Of the several
States; and, above all. to from the horrors
Of civil war and -bOod-gWltiness." Let our fer
vent prayers ascend to lis Throne that he would
not desert US in this hour of extreme peril but
member as he did fathers in the darkest DAYS
Of the Revolution, and preserve our Constitution
and our Union, the work of their hands, for ages
yet 10 come.
An OmnipoteHt Providence may override existing
evils for permanent good He make the wrath
of man 10 praise Him, and the remainder of wrath
he can restrain Let me invoke every Individual
in whatever sphere Of life he may be placed 10 feel
