| Mr.. VIM. DoANE-Dear tSir F: On nv re-
turn from Chill icothe few days since, found
your note of the 11th inst, awaiting my at
tention. I will endeavor to comply with your
| request, ard hope this communication may al
SO be received full response to all those
who, by word or writing, seek to know my 20
sition my opinion. A cherished friend, of
long standing, whilst in the Ancient Metropo-
lis, put the converse of your proposition In
this form eOf course, Mr.. A, you will vote
for your brother and Brough ?' to which 1 re-
piled: "Naiy Alb" This brought on short
discussion, rather assertion and denial, as to
what constitutes Abolitionism. I then de-
clared, as now assert, that if all the speeches,
resolutions and schemes of Garrison, Phillips,
Wade, Giddings and Chase were grated down,
strained and pressed together, they could not
be gotten into a more concentrated and solid
form than the proclamation of emancipation
has given them He, then, who supports and
sHstains that war measure of the Administra
ton, supports and sustains Abolitionism; and
Abolitionism is the sire and dam of disunion
Like the whoring Jupiter, it begat and bro't
forth that accursed brat.
Before proceed further, let me say that
shall not be prevented, by mock delicacy, from
acknowledging that accept and approve all
the eulogstic compliments which have been or
can be paid to their candidate for Lieutenant
Governor. I have not sounded the key note
of praise or started tine tune of his laudation
but may I not be permitted to join in the
chorus? If it is said "he is great in intellect,
unsurpassed in eloquence, brave, honorable and
patriotic" my echo sounds out 'tbrave, honor
able, patriotic" and the arst part of the SEN
tence remains, fully approved in the silent
chambers of my heart. But truly, our oppo- |
nents are giving ludicrous proof of their be-
lief in his versatility. When the news of nv |
brothers nomination reached here wasSS. III,

here are some things he cannot endure Run s

Iard, for, just as sure as the glowing hide of G.
be fat knight emits the odors of Africa, SO IL
trely will Charley fly the track, and then n
farewell, a long farewell" to all your hopes of lc
lory. Like Bonnie Scotland, he is beauti- p
full in form, graceful in action, but again, tt
ke Bonnie, Charley is roarer. He is touch
in the wind, and therefore requires the m
