I regard the fato of hundreds of thousands of lives of freemen, and tho consequent misery entailed, dependent' upon thj action of tho ensuing called session of Congress, I confess I fear its action. The more 1 look at the movements of this Administration, tho more I becomo satisfied that this Government, under the form it hitherto existed, is of tho things that were. The movements at Baltimore , -nd St. Louis, on tho military, sstisfy mo that an at- tsmpt will bo made to plaeo the wholo oouutry under military rule; that all the means of tho Government will be employ-ployed to arm tho minions of tho Administration,' and dis-arm all opponents; that an absoluto reign of terror wiil bo inaugurated, and wheu the means of resist ance of the masses are removed a military despotism will rule until all Stato rights under their constitutional organizations shall havo been abolished, and a monar: ehy. absoluto or limited, established. The men receiving position at the hands of Mr. Lincoln, aud the Republican Gov ernors of tho Nor:h, are cot the charac (ere o whom I would like to tru.st my dearest rights. They are the men who lust for power would soon overlook all else than their own aggrandizement. The successful resistance of tho South I regard as the only safety for us of tho North. Should she be overwhelmed, woe betides us who havo JaroJ. to oppose the policy jfthis AJininistration. , Daniel, a Democrat of tho North who dares to oppose tho policy of tlio present leaders, is a? much hated as tho?e of tho South, and I look upon this war 83 piuch and more ft war upon tho Democracy than anything elsiJ. i ,.o : i This Government iwuhl revet1 In sub verted under Democratic rule, and ecry appeal is now being made to the patriotism bf our pcoplo hj sustain the (.'tnisii'.'ttioti take time.
