dence In the United States governmant stocks and many
OF the States securities, and millions have within
few months been sent home for consequence
J. .ny oy concession on the part Of the Northern
feelings Of the border States towards the North and West
That we can roipstate our credit abroad pray that
the efforts making by the patriotic Crittenden aud the
noble stand which old Virginia. Maryland and other Sis
ter border States making for Cancellation and
Union may prove successful but H. contrary % my hopes

States join the South under amicable arrangements
the constant fear OF between the sections would
almost entirely destroy the credit OF both the Northern
Southern confederacies in Europe What is st
important the prestige which has heretofore embazoncd
the arms of our Union will have disappeared that
pride OF country, which has been Of much
