We invite particular attention 10 the following

Mr.. tDuoR: "A resident in one Of the Border
slave States, aud as one who loves the Union and
Wouo maintain II IN Its integrity desire 10 say few
words TO the readers within toe range OF your crculs
tion. From short soiourn among you, am sorry TO
say that have been disappointed 10 the manifestation
among the people Of that earnest loyalty aud zeal for
tie maintenance of The Government Which the preeeni

supporter of the present Administration, in any
Aise sympathizer with the Republican party, and
am cory to Say voted for the aithlees Bell o 1onDea-

Cabinet Bat ia this hour Of trial for our country Il
seems to me that all personal jealouses, all par,in
P-eudices, all sectional feuds sbould be laid aside
and forgetting the bct edugs and aim0sties OF party
the whole Nodh should unite together one man
resist the wicked attempts of the Rebels to destroy
the beet Government the world has seen, and to
blast the last hope Of man In biz capacity for self
government.
There is nothing which mas made me 30 sick at heart
as tie miserable attempts the part OF some OF your
papers to advocate u peace policy and To cry out
against the war unnecessary and ducasd for | am
glad to see that the AdUuisrauon has deto mined 10
regard such views aud such course as reasonable
aud has taken the necessary measures TO suppress
them.
Had you been living 10 the midst Of Seoession and
had you the effect of the publication Of such
views upon the advocates Of rebellion, you would nos
need to ne convinced Of the proprisy Of this step.
When Gen. Lyon, with the holiness and independ-
which always characterized his views and acts,
suppressed with the strong Of the military The
