In letter to a friend in this city, col

touching the political sentiments Of his
neighbors:
In the remote portions Of Virginia in
the village where Twas born, the most

elected to the Presidency, they will be paid
for them by the government. Some have
gone so for already as to secure the afida

In reference TO the exodus Of eolorsd
men from the Southern States, the same
writer saws:
A short time ago we had engaged in the
discussion OF the cause and effect OF the
