views of the writers on the much talked
of question of the bonds, and the propos-

cation, and others are only friendly, pri-
vate letters. we are glad to receive them.
every one. for by them we are able to form
an idea of the wants and sentiments of
the people, but it is impossible to publish
them all, even of those intended for the
public eye, and SO beg Of our correspond

to continue to write, knowing that their
letters are acceptable, and that they will
be published when thought worthy and
when not crowded out by other, to ns,
