Gently published i n the Richmond
Wing II re.appears in the " News"
at the request of many Of our friends,
who agree with US in believing that the
"New Movement !" was patriotic in its
conception, wise in its execution, and
beneficial in its results, We hope its
length will deter No one of our readers
from giving it thorough and attentive
perusal. Its author is one Of the most dis.
tiuguishedof those men, who have in the
past added to the lustre Of their public
services the most exalted example Of pri>
vate virtue. This letter is one of his
ablest productions aud is in our estima~
tion .c"nclusively convincing While
We pray that our people may yet be a
unit on tue mighty question of their
rescu', we cannot be oblivious to the
fact that the opposition, which the
committee of nine have thus far met,
has been weapon of grent eff
feicncy in the hands Of those who hate,
and seek the ruin of our own people.
