Mr.. Adams, differs little from that

my dear sir, in your anxiety for the free
institutions and the union of our country.
But the welfare of the people is in their
own hands. There seems to me to be.
after all, but one very imminent danger
impending over us; and that is the con-
fict between slave labor and free labor.
The rottenness ct the heart of oar Union

interrupted Mr.. Jay, entertain hope
of present, or a doubt of final success.
We shall be defeated, frequently defeat
ed but every conflict will add to our
strength and weaken our opponents.
The shareholders dread discussion
it is our part to court it. The attention
of the public should be unremitingly
directed to this subject. The die
tates of religion, the principles of our
government, the spirit of the age. and
the safety of the Republic, all unite in
sure pledge of final and glorious triumph.
The aid At this point the entire
company were startled by a tremendous
noise at the whist table, where sat Jack
son and Walwofth as partners. It would
seem as if the conversation there, also,
had taken a political turn; for jackson

table with his fist till the cards danced
again. exclaimed "By Cd, Walworth,

out his secession views when I'm Presi-

cellor Kent came up and succeeded in
pacifying the General, who again sat
down. Judge Walworth also resumed
his seat, saying, "Our views agree per-
fectly, General perfectly What trumps?"
This conduct toward Judge Walworth in
his own house, is certainly most eXtraor-
binary, though it fully justifes the gen.
orally received character of the General.
Still, it must be admitted, that under
that rough frame there beats heart

1t is sincerely to be hoped, however, that
the emergency which our greatest states

will never happen. Should their fears be
justified by future events, then have

End of the Diary.
On my return to the city, the manu-
script, in the hurry of business, soon
passed from my mind, until few weeks
since, when it was recalled in very strik-
ing manner | was at the Society Lii
brary hunting up the historical fact, in a
file of the ~ Y. Courier and Enquirer
for 1928, when my eyes suddenly alight-
ed upon the following paragraph:
INFORMATION WANTED.
Give hundred dollars will be given
for any information which shall lead to
the finding of James H. Breslin, who LETT
his home in New Bedford in July last, in
state of mental alteration Said Bres-
lin is rather under the usual height, is
thirty years Of age, has light complexion,
and sandy hair. Has lost the little finger
of the right hand by an accident in his
childhood. When last seen he was on
the New York boat for Albany, though
person answering to his appearance was
observed two weeks since purchasing a
ticket in Albany at the stage Office; but
whether for the West or North cannot
be ascertained. Please address G.. NJ.

| Immediately wrote to my friend Bal
lard at Saratoga, enclosing copy of the
dvertisement, and asking him if he would
look at file Of the paper published at
Saratoga in 1928, and see if he could find
anything calculated to throw additional
light on the subject Ballard replied in
a few days by enclosing the following
paragraph, which he had copied out Of
the Saratoga Sentinel for Aug. 18th,
1928. Beyond this, which is merely a
playful notice, he could find nothing:
''PERsONAL.-We regret to announce
that our young friend, the poet, disap-
peared from the village yesterday, as
mysteriously as he came. Col. E. D. s..
Young, who saw him last, says that there

looks as if he had started for Canada

Greenfield make him a good judge. So,

| would say in conclusion that the most
diligent enquiry in New Bedford fails to
bring to light any family by the name of
Breslln, who have doubtless either NOV

article, however, meet the eye of any
relative who believes that j. H. B. and
James III. Bresiin' were one and the
