amount Of postage In utter disregard Of law and
of private rights all such letters are sent to the

rage is plain. The hope is entertained that in the
confidence of private letters some unguarded ex-
preston may be found on which indictments for
treason may be predicated, or our citizens, like
those of Maryland. seized by military force and
dragged to Jail in another State to await the pleas

Surely the Shareholders Rebellion Of
1861 is not more formidable than the now
er Of England in 1872. The first cam
psign of our Second War of Independence,
was series Of disasters, while its clio inc
scenes witnessed the destruction of Wash.
inston and the invasion (rcpellcd however
at New Orlcans) of Louisiana. Direct
taxation for the National Treasury. was

were burtheoed with subscriptions aud
contributors in degree far exceeding
what is 20 :siblc for this generation. The

the American people early were prepared
to meet them.. n.4f .f7s, .aa.4l-,a. ,s,,.
