that one OF the candidates is o man of
transcendant ability, they are singalarly
slow of apprehension. The desolation
OF which they complain ia attributable
TO him. The long and disastrous war
that filled his bloody ehasm with fratri-
cldal slaughter, and involved the whole
country iu debt IND Generalization, is
due to the nnequaled energy, combined

and induced to save my country from
impending evil. I do not write this
letter for publication. With unchanged
and unchaugeable frienship, respect and
esteem, remain. my dear sir, yours
