the third term question came up for dis
cussion in the cabinet meeting Yesterday,
suggested by the recent speech of Gov.
Dix at Cooper institute. On careful in
qury at the proper sources it has been as
certained that there was no discussion
whatever of this subject at the meeting.
The president, however, said incidentally
in private conversation with several mem
bcrs of the cabinet, as he did to-day to a
friendly visitor, that this agitation was due
solely to certain newspapers, and not to
anything he ever said or minated on the
subject.

cal parties, all of whom converscd freely
and fully as to the present state of politi-
cal affairs have been present at the
gatherings of the masses of all colors, and
have listened attentively to the speakers
on both sides and / am rejoiced to
say that do not know of a single case of
outrage or personal violence for opinions
sake in all the length and breadth of this
division, nor have | heard of even one
authenticated case. have no hesitaDcy in
saying that citizens of all colors and all
political parties can and do freely and fully
express their political opinions just when
and where they please, without the least
fear of any outrage or personal violence.
The outsideIworld is deceived by the terrible
passion into which letter writers and po-
litical editors dashed themselves. There is
not a county in East Alabama in which
any man, democratic, conservative, repub-
lican or radical, may not publicly declare
his sentiments, with as little fear of moles-
tation as in any state in all our broad
Union"
