leave you with great reIuctance..z It has
been the dream OF: my life to 60 abeoad In
some position that would. enable me to catchE
proper glimpse Of the beauty and grandeur .
Of The Old World; hutas the time draws near
when | shall bid yon parting aaieu, I ap-'

Perhaps hare said enough-it may be too,
muth---1 desire to state to You, however. that
my relations E1th the President have been and

this war to 3u end. I hare no right to give
advice, but shall be glad, in leaving the eoun
try, to believe there is to be no party here but
the party Of the country, the party for the wal
and in favor OF supporting the Administration
in conducting the war, because, whether met
were opposed to Mr, Lincoln or otherwise, By
his Administration alone Is the war to be con
Quoted. If Pennsylvania will stand hY his wist
and patriotic measures, she can aid the Presi
