GENERAL ROBERT Il. LEE.
A Private Letter, Expressing His View
of Secession.

OF SECESSION.
In an address before the Lee Ne.
mortal association in Baltimore, Mr..
S. Teakle Wallace read following
heretofore unpublished letter OF
General Robert b. Lee:
"And here | am permitted by the
kindness Of n friend, to read some
extracts from n letter of the illus
trious soldier, which has never seen
the light before, and will show
through what sad struggles of both
heart and mind he passed TO what
he felt to be his duty. | doubt not
nay, know-that many II gallant
gentleman who fought beside him,
and many another in the opposing
host, grieved with as deep II grict
as Lee to draw his sword, The
letter | speak of bears the date Of
January 10, 1861, and was written
from Fort Mason, near San Antonio,
in Texas 1t was addressed to a
young lady, Il relative OF his, for
whom he had great affection, and
the passages of which l speak were
written as message to her father.
Abiding to the homes of two fam
lilies Of friends, he said:
az think of the occupants of
both very often, and | hope some
day to see them again. ] may have
the opportunity soon, for if the
union is dissolved shall return to
Virginia to share the fortunes of my

calamity befalls the country, hope

the constitution and the equal rights
of the people will be exhausted
Tell your father he must not allow
Maryland to be taken on to South
Carolina before the just demands OF
the south have been fairly presented
to the north and rejected. Then II
the rights guaranteed us by the CON
stitution are denied us, and the cit

ANALYSIS OF THE RETURNS.

The total vote on Governor two years
ago was lat, 1928, of which Taylor had
81, $685. and Washburn &c, 224. This
year the total vote is 169, 461, of which
Taylor has S4,315, and Ludington 3d.
146. Taylor's vote is 2, ZIG larger than
it was two years ago, and Only 1885
smaller than cast for Greeley, for Pres
ident, in 1872, which was the largest
vote ever cast in this state for Demo-
cratic candidate, anil no doubt contain
ed scores of ballots from Republicans,
as Greeley had many personal friends
III the Republican party. 1t is there
fore apparent that at the recent election
and that two years ago nearly the full
Democratic strength was out, and that
it is not much, if ally, over so, 900.
On the other hand, Ludington's vote
is 1892 greater than Washburn's in
1871. Ludington's vote, however, is
1866 less than Grants in 1872. These
figures, it seems to us, establish, be-
yond question, this fact, that the defeat
ofthe Republican ckettwo years ago was
due solely to the fact that Republicans
did not go the polls in any thing like
their full strength, and not, as has been
claimed, to real loss of Republican
strength. The wide fluctuations of the
Republican vote in the past four
years without corresponding one in
the Democratic vote is evidence, not of
political conversion, but of alternating
interest in and indifference to the re-
suit of the canvass.
The majority of the people OF this
state are still attached to the Republi-
can party, and, with a wise policy in re-
gard to state and national matters, it
can count on success when its princi-
pies are really at issue.
