Republican party is divided, and q majority
of tie members guided by the politicians,
continue to be opposed to any practicable
settlement of this sectional controversy.
They cast oil, instead of water, on the fam
ing rage of sectional strife; and employ
expostulation, threat and ridicule, with ap-
peals to the pride and hate of party preju.
dice, to stife in the hearts of their own
partisans, every rising patriotic emotion.
Yet, Notwithstanding all these efforts of
Republican leaders, it is quite manifest that
large minority of that party, embracing
most of its solid men, have resolved to
abandon it, and unite with the Union men
of all parties, to save the Union, and to save
themselves from financial ruin.
They are ready to unite with Democrats,
and all others OF like sentiments, upon some
such basis of settlement as that proposed
by Senator Crittendon or Gov. Magofin of
Kentucky, or that of the Albany Jorunal,
either of which, would, to settle our nation
al strifes, undoubtedly secure the support
Of large majority of the American peo-
pie.
Such proposed settlement, recommend
ed by only few of the Representatives of
all parties in Congress, would be hailed
with reclamation by the people, who would
extort from their unwilling Representatives,
votes sufficient to comply with the require
ments of the Constitution, and secure sub.
mission of the whole subject to themselves;
and they would soon settle the question in
the Constitution of the United States, and
thus forever expel this dangerous subject of
slavery from our National Councils and
party politics.
But a large body of citizens who desire
thus to save the Union, may not be willing
to rally under the Democratic banner, and
under the guidance ofpolitical chiefs, whom
they have so lately opposed, and in whom,
perhaps, they have never had confidence.
We must not, at this time, disregard the
fact that among large class of honest and
sincere men, party prejudices, perhaps the
growth of many years, long survive
change of political views. There are nu-
merous Republicans who are willing to a.
bandon party to save the Union; and the
entire Democracy will, doubt not, meet
them in the same noble spirit, to form
new provisional organization,-a great
Constitutional Party, for the sole purpose
of so amending the Constitution Of the u
nited States that peace and unity between
the North and the South may again prevail,
as in the early and better days of the Re
public, and thus re- unite the States togeth-
er in indissoluble bonds of confidence and
fraternity, the only solid basis of union,
which no popular delusion, sectional party
or aspiring demagogue can ever again dis
turb.
You will agree with me, 1 believe, that
this would be consummation, which every
enlightened and patriotic citizen could hail
with rejoicing, and to achieve which, no re-
quired sacrifice would be too great.
Very Respectfully,
Your Ob't serv't.,

started in the last caravan from St. Paul,
which left Sept. 25th, aud experienced
many hardships before be arrived, although
the journey commenced very pleasantly.
He says:
We reached St. Cloud without accident, and
after laying in certain stores, fairly launched
out upon our long road towards the North
Star. This route which had pictured to my
self as solitary and monOtonous, was to my
establishment and delight, constantly travelled
by long trains of white covered wagons, which
looked quite picturesque as they moved along
in curves among the undulatiOns of the prairie.
Stages were also constantly passing and re-
passing; parties of Southern gentlemen were
returning to their tropical homes from the buff
talo and elk hunt, laden with the trophies of
their success. Long lines of Government
teams were on their way to st. Paul for sup
plies for the garrison at Fort AbercrOmbie.
Wagons loaded with oats and potatoes were
pushing their way to the new market which
the re-establishing of this Fort has created
for them.
All these agreeable things came to an
end. Oxen we're lost, and only found after
a vexatious search-the rain poured down
and the earth shook with peals of thunder,

water. The effects of the rain he thus

A Sailors Dream.

One beautiful Sunday afternoon,
was walking the quarter deck of fine
ship, running down the northern trades.
Vim. Thornton an old weather beaten
sailor, was at the wheel, and I could
hear him, occasionally humming the
air of /" Black eyed Susan, /" when my
back was toward him. He was an
excellent helmsman, and kept the ship
to her course true as the needle to the
poles. Although it is still, as it was
then contrary to rule, to enter into
conversation with the man at the
wheel, yet observing William smile
and raise his hat upon nine hairs" |
asked him alphabetically, What
are you thinking about, William 2"
About my sweetheart, sir.
Are you going to get married when
you return ?"
never was married, sir, nor new
err will be, if should live O thousand
years, yet / have sweetheart. It's
just forty years this day since saw
her, and | never saw her but once.
But what interest can You have in
an old salts love dream 20
Go ahead William, tell about this
sweetheart, I'm in love myself and can
sympathize with you
Well, sir, it is just forty years this
day since strolled into one of the
biggest churches in Broadway, and
was invited to q seat in a grand pew
by an elderly gentleman. There we're
two ladies with him One Of them
the moment our eyes met, said as
plainly as eyes could speak" I'm glad
to see you again. I was sure / had
seen her before; I felt that we were
old playmates, but.for The soul Of me

" take my eyes off her, she looked 50
good: When the services commenced
she put q prayer book inmy hand, and
pointed to the lesson for the day.

Going West

A correspondent offers the follow
ing Information to the Philadelphia
Saturday Evening Post, for the hen
eft of those DESTROYS Of going West.
1t is worth reading:
JACKSONVILLE, Ill, March 10
In your paper are some inquiries,
about the west, made by men in the
east, which / shall take the liberty Of
transcribing and replying to inmy own
way. The article, it appears, was
copied from the New York Tribune,
but as / first notice it in your paper
! send you the reply. M
To my personal knowledge, the west
has been. flooded with just such qner-
les for the last twenty years, until we
are heartily tired Of them. We know
by experience that if we tell the truth
in the matter, about the agricultural
facilities of the west, not one in ten
thousand of those who live in the east,
and have never been fifty miles from
home, win believe il. 1t is a matter
Of indifference to many what they be-
lieve. 1883 s
The first question comes from Cam
