The daily exchange. [volume] (Baltimore, Md.) 1858-1861, 1861-05-17

Everybody who is conversant with the tone of
the Northern papers during the past ten days, can
scarcely have failed to notice that it has gradually
become less declamatory and warlike. The reason
is obvious; the popular excitement, which burned
SO fercey for while, is exhaustiug its fuel. Men
who, few weeks ago, dared not open their lips
in depreciation of the war, are now beginning to
inquire what good result can possibly be accom-
pushed by an appeal to arms. Letters written by
various merchants and capitalists of New York, to
the'r correspondents in this city, state that every
third man may now be said to be oonosed to en-
tering upon war which could only be prosecuted
at the expense of vast amount of blood ord
treasure, and which must end, after all in q son.
aration between the North and the Sontb The
following extract, from an article in the New yorl
Post of Wednesday last, one of the most rab;d
Republican journals, indicates very conclusvelv
that the reactonary feeling is making itself felt
1t will be remarked that the Post sees no necessity
now for fight, in which the North would prob
ably suffer defeat; and more significant still, the
invasion of the South is no longer spoken of as a
