A NORTHERN OPINfoN.-James Monroe,
Of New York, recently wrote letter to
some citizens Of New JERSEY in relation to
the war policy of the Black Republicans.
The following is an extract.
l advocate peace among ourselves, be-
cause / believe that the continuance of
civil war will soon lead us into a war with
some of the European Governments, be-
sides which it will almost entirely destroy
our commercial, manufacturing, agricui-
tural and financial interests, denioralizing
the people to such an extent as finally to
lead to a military despotism, the suppress
sion of the Constitution, and the fiEal de-
struction OF the Union and our republican
principles: Oceans Of blood will be spilled
and hundreds of millions of ffioney will
be speiit; without one advantage being
obtained. There will spring up between
the Northern and Southern people most
inveterate hatred towards each other,
which can never DO appeased. That tho
North cannot conquer the Sotth by the
force OF arms is beyond a doubt. All
history teaches Us this. Charles the First
would not compromise with his political
opponents, but persisted in subduing
them by the force OF arms. He lost his
head in making the attempt: George the
Third would not compromise with trail
tors, but persisted in subjugating them by
fire and sword. He lost his colonies in
his attempt to do so.. The Northern peo-
pie may profit by their example, and learn
! u lesson from their misfortunes.

| Dear Sr:-A great excitement exists in
different parts Of Pennsylyania iist now.
and you need not bs surprised 10 hesr of
stirring scenes before many days. Whist
would you think If the State should nat
tern after Missouri md yet have
heard Republicans and Democrats freely
suggest the idea. Hitherto, Democrats
have furnished tho majority, If not two.
thirds. of the volffitAefs. They now ne.
fuse, and the consequence is that soldiers
are hard to get. Officers are plenty, but
men are scarce. The reason is that Re-
publican Journals have taken high ground
in denouncing Democrats az Disuniopists,
until many good Union men have almost
been driven into the Secession idea.
But the great operating cause now is
the action of the authorities at Washing.

ad- Ohio Is one Of the most rampant
OF abolition States in the Union. Her
people have done as much to bring on the
separation as those of any other State, but
they are not disposed to risk any thing on
the fight, much. The Cincinnati Com
mercial of Friday, THUS belabors them:
If there is any such thing as State
pride, in the State of Ohio, il should be-
gin to be exercised about these times
Ohio has not in the field at this moment,
to fight for the Union, any more troops
than the little State of Arkansas has to
fight against it. We believe Ohio is doing
less for the country in proportion to her
population and wealth than any other
State. Pennsylvania may be an excep-
ton. But Michigdh, Illinois, Indiana,

Island are leavins us fnr behind

Coffee Prospects,.

From the Talk on Change" in the
New Crleatis Crescent, We extract tho fol-
lowing:
The stock of coffee is becoming much
reduced, and indications are strong of a
short supply. What will answer for a
substitute, is the Inquiry! Why, the ca
real rye. If the country is deprived Of
the berry, it will not be the first time in
this country. During the war of 1872 to
1915, the intercourse with foreign coun.
tries was closed, and coffee was consider
ed cheap at one dollar per pound. How
ever, we shall not suffer greatly if we be
deprived of our morning beverage the
coming year. AS regards other articles,
| such as provisions and breadstuffs, there
will be no want for the latter. Salteu
meats and provisions will command high
prices, but not such high and elevated
prices as would be spectators anticipate.

usual. he. stated thar he had no returns

searched, and the marked money found
on his person. In the drawer of his desk
number Of licentious books, which lily
correspond with his pretended character
for strict morality, were found. Through
the intercession of his wife and daughter,
who soon heard Of his arrest, the legal
proceedings against him were dropped,
and he was dismissed from Office. The

his labors in the cause of temperance here
