gloomy oreboding exhibited throug hout Weeds fare-
wel address in regard to the future of the Yankee

cy, has made what the Herald terms deep impres-
sion en- the public mind The Herall says:
Il is useless to state that this feeling is fast taking
possession OF all classes here. TIE action of the
national government IN reference to the C1 aud tried
generals OF the army did more than most people Imagine
to increase that feeling. The idea that slavery is no
longer the real issue of the hour, but that we have
reached the point when the sole question is shall the
republican Institutions prove failure, and the progress
that has for long time been made in liberalZing the
policy of kings and monarchs, aud the eakenng of
the powers of tyrants throughout the world. The
radicals keeping Up incessant clamor about
the negro, for the purpose of binding the eyes
of the people to the real issue but there has been
exhibited during three or four days strong feel
ing that broader, higher and more extensive issues
are now at stake deny that with the divi-
sion of this country and the failure 20 restore the Union

OF tie Old World TO tighten their reirs and diminish
the beries of their subjects, with q returnto the ty-
rauny that existed before the formation Of govern
ment here based upon the rights of the subjects in
stead upon those of the royal circle. That this is
tie real ISSUE and that Of slavery even several of
the radicals freely admit. The signs Of the times
strongly Indicate that the camor of the aboltionsts
