What would you think Of The nan who
should tell you to come to New England 70
6nd secession sympathy You would prob
ably Get him down as liar or fool, and
vet / tell you that have heard more sympa-
,bv ssr tho South, have seen more ilLeon-
eealed rejoicing at what the speakers termed
u,be Federal defeats at Bulls Run, and in
Missouri" and have heard Of more persons
with secession procivities, within the rast
three days up here ia the heart Of lev
Hampshire, than ! have before for six months
in Ohio I am perfectly astonished at the
state Of affairs here. The mass Of the people
are loyal, but there are many old line Dem
ocrats, who think more Of party than of their
country or their God, who are so fearful that
they shall in some way, give countenance
and support to Republican Adniuistration,
that they will oppose it even though by so
doing, they stab their government to the
heart. These men are loud and fierce against
the war measures which are being taken,
and, since the Bulls Run retreat they have
come out boldly, and heard today that one
went so far as to openly proclaim bis hope,
that Washington wonld be taken. And
these men are to be found right here in the
towns of Claremont Newport, Unity and
Lempster And they are suffered to live
here, and to preach their damnatle toryism
No wonder a returned volunteer Of the New
Hampshire lst., (who has re-enlisted for the
war, said to me yesterday, "lhey had better
give us orders TO stay here or to clean out
the rebels in this State, before We go to fight
those of the South One Of these secession
ist sympatnisers, who is one of the aristoc-
rscy of this town, said to-day that if vote
was taken in the town of Unity to-day, it
would result in a large ma1ority for seces-
sionl He had just returned from there, and
doubt,ass had consulted and advised with
that majority. What do yon thiLk of these
facts. and of the fact that Edmund Burke.
Who was the real instigaior and editor Of the
Standard, at Concord, which was destroyed
ne a secession sheet boasts that he will take
the paper to Newport in this county, and
publish it theTe, and that in this he has many
supporters7 Is this the reason that New
Hampshire has sent but four reginentS and
one of hese nnt yet gone am sorry to
wri,e these things, for the Granite State Is the

stand proudly in the foremost rank, but sucI
sentiments as have heard hereahouis Wouo
disgrace any State. There is some sign OF An
Improvement for the tFuly loyal in this sec
tiou begin to saw that the mouths of these
secpssiouis-s must be stopped right speedily
It is high time.
