WE find in the New York Erening Pos!
a lengthy review of the recently published
life and correspondence of Theodore Par
ker, which contains some extracts from his
many letters. Among others are the fol.
lowing. In 1856 he wrote to John ?.
Hale concerning the Presidential campaign
of that year, and in the course of the letter
says: "If Buchanan is President, think
the Union does not hold out his four
years. 1t must end in civil war;" How
true those words.
