Written Before The War-A Resolution Which He

CHBsTRRTowN, Md, December 49,
The following letter from the late Jefferson
Davis to Hon. James Alfred Pearce, U. S.
Senator from Maryland, and the father OF
james Alfred Pssrce, of Chestertown, is
published with the latter gentlemsn's con-
sent. 1t relates directly to Mr.. Davis per-
sonal opipions and desires as to the great
oue,tions which led 10 the war between the
Statee:
"PALMYRA, MISS, 22i August, 1852.
MMY DEAR SIR:-AmoDg the most
pleasing "reminiscences OF my connection
with the Senate ! place my association
with YOU, and first among the consultations
for the train Of events which led 10 my
separation from that body l number your
vtrv kind letter. II know myself you do
me Justice in suppSsi that my Efforts in

maintenance of our constitutional rights as
members of the Union and that do not
sympathizs with those who desired the
dissolution of the Union.
after my return to Mississippi, in
1851. took ground against the policy Of
secession. and drew the resolution adopted

accession was the last alternative, the fnal
remedy, and should not be resorted to up-
DER existing circumstances. l thought the
State should set the seal OF disapp'obation

States Senate l opposed them because l
Thought them wrong and dangerous ten
deucy, and also because the people in
eyery town and the Legislature, by Ieso-
luton of il struction, nquired me TO op'
pose them. Bat indiscreet men went too
fast and too far; the public became alarmed
and The reaction cOrrespanded with the
action. extreme in both instances.
"The most curious and eg'stive
feature in the case is the fact that those
who were or ginally foremost in the move
mept were the henehciaries Of the reaction.
Having by their extreme course created
apprehension, they cried most Justify that
the Union was in danger and saved by their
exertions the offices of the State and some
of the Federal Government. | am, as

TRADE BAROMETER.
A Healthy Condition Noted In All Import
ant Markets.

A Healthy Condition Noted In All Import
ant Markets.
New YORK, December 13.--R. G. Dan
& Co.'S weekly review: Unreasonable
weather accounts for depression in one or
more branches Of business. The trade in
wOOlen goods and heavy boots and shoes is
also retarded, and the anthracite coal trade
even more seriously. On the other hand,
there is some compensation in the fact
that the open weather has enabled build
ing operations to be carried on longer than
usual. The holiday trade has also COM
mencsd early and is OF unusual magnitude.
The situation is healthy as appears in
the return Of iron furnaces for Decsm Der
lst, which shows q weekly output of 169,-
Isl tons sgaiust los, 225 November lst,
ani 1898 a year ago. With an
output at the rate of $3.50. 900
tons per anuum, iron does not
yield in price, though il is admitted that
heavy sales hsve been made at fgnres be-
low Philadelphia quotations, and in many
instances, probably at $l9 guaranteed
against loss if prices fall. Steel rails are
firm at S35. Advancing prices are noted
at Pittsburg, and great activity in ore at
Cleveland. where it is stated that the en-
tire Lake Superior product for next year
has already been sold, the Bessemer at IS
per ton.
The business failures number 290 ss COM
pared with total OF 3l6 last week. For
the corresponding week Of last year, the
igures were 3O3.

That all trades affiliated with the Amer

such a sum or sums as can be spared from
the mOnev reserved for the trade OF trades
