DR.. Sayre of Lexington, KY, IN recent let
Ter to his son in this city, says:
"Lss week lad long talk with John C. BreekinTdse and
told him his folly which, persisted would ruin him and
The country lie replied that he COCO Union nsr Ire
auested him his actions and with the good men
that knew the lovers Of county asied him to
sake example Of such his uncle, the Rev Dr. X j.
Breokinrd-e few dsys him again, when
be old bis heart beed for country ad II s feeble
pesh per United he would journey through the United States
and addTes the citizens"
II is plain that the doctor clearly understands
the diagnosis of the disease which seems to aillIc
the late disuniOn candidate for the Presidency.
1t is the complaint, as old as the New Tesla
ment, of faith without works. Mr.. Breckenridge
declares that be is "a good Union Wan." The
doctor urged him to - show il by his actions.
His eminent patient, at subsequent vSit, as
sures hm that - his heart bleeds for our country
The doctor begs him TO do something to stanch
lis gaping wounds. Had he been doctor OF
divinity instead of mere medical man, he
would probably have told BIN that faith without
works was dead, and that unless be speedily
moved in the matter, be would be forever dead
and damned as traitor. But, though mere
physician, he gave him dose Of excellent ad-
vice, urging him to initiate the good men OF the
country who really love the Union. Mr. b.
promised his medical adviser that, but for his
feeble health he would try aud make a few
speeches
In all seriousness We assure the Kentucky
Senator that he stands in very equivocal posi-
lion before the country, and that bis reputation
demands that he define precisely what that posi-
ton is in regard TO the war now berg waged to
crush rebellion and punish treason. Long
speeches are not needed. Actions will be OF
more avail than the loudest words. Let him
emulate the example not merely Of HE clerical
uncle, but Of his late political chief, Ex-Presi-
dent Buchanan, and give heart and purse to the
patriot cause. Let him enlist under the heroic
Anderson, brother KenruckIaD, and draw his
sword in defense of bis mperlled country. Then
the people will believe him Union nan indeed;
otherwise we fear they will suspect Llm Of afhIa-
ton with treason.
