PrTTsBURa, January 9.-Tho annual
banquet OF the Young Mems Jackson
Association, OF this city, tonight, was n
brilliant affair. Among the letters was
one from Charles Francis Adams, in
which, after regretting his absence, he
says: II am not much in the way of ex-
pressing sentiments on the present 30
ltical topics. The country has passed
through violent convulsion, and is now
slowly but steadily recovering itself.
The main object should be the return of
harmony, in spirit of mutual conf
dence, among the jarring members. Our
Government draws life from the ready
consent of the governed. When the dis
tlngulshed hero, whose name your Asso-
citation bears. uttered these memorable
words, 'Ihe Union must and shall be
preserved, he undoubtedly rested his
faith on the spontaneous cooperation of
the great masses of the nation, respond
ing to his call, in the regular and legiti-
mate channels prescribed by the organic
law. He never contemplated the use of
bayonets in controlling the forms of col
Letting the general suffrage. Our safety
as nation lies in going back to first
principles-forgetting that force has ever
been resorted to rs painful necessity
to preserve them. What was n bitter
medicine should not be taken into daily
food.
