both public and secret attempts to buy or
capture it. In the first We were defeated by
the workings of the Abolitionists, in the sec
ond by the holding back of what We had
thought our Northern support. 1t became a
fixed thing from that time that in order to
make great nation and extend our conquests
and carry slavery into Central America, Mex
leo and the West India Islands We must get
rid of the North and so the long matured
plan was resolved to be carried into effect as
soon as Buchanan left the Presidential chair. ~
These are the views of a great leader in
this RebelliOn-a man Of powerful intellect
and grea: frankness-he spake from what he
knew of both North and South.
These ideas seemed to us strange then.
they appear differently now. There can be
no doubt but that his Y Jews of the causes of
the war were correct-but there is fault be-
yond which he did not reach-the great an
tagonism Of free ard slave rowers-the hos
tility of humanity against the oppression OF
ambition.

The Designs of the Northern Seces-

Col Fornev. in letter from Washington
to the Philadelphia Press, predicts the course
which will be adopted by the sympathizers
with secessonism in the state of Pennsylva-
MIA. His remarks may be good for other
latitudes:''
"During the contest for the Presidency in
1860, predicted that the Shareholders would
DESTROY the railroad between Baltimore and
Washington in order to prevent the inaugu-
ration of Republican Chief Magistrate. Mr.
Lincoln was. however. duly installed: but
my prediction was substantially fulfilled in
the succeeding Apri!. | remember well that
when this prophecy was made 1t was regard
ed as rash and unfouLdeG Some Of our
good friends classel it among the impossi-
bilitieS.
Had the people believed such thing to
Le probable at that time. many of the evils OF
secession would have been anticipated and
crushed. | now feel Ike r;sking another
prediction. which will have the great advan-
tage of seeming to be reasonable in view OF
the extraordinary events Of the last wear.
The democratic leaders are preparing TO sane

whole policy loo.s to this, and to this alone
They conceal it fir I'm their followers By cries
