Nonthcrn Unionism-—View* or
Hon. K. Kaj nor of >. I'.
The North knows the llou. Kenneth
Kaynor, and has known him these tweu
ty years, as one of the moat moderate and
fair-minded of Southern politicians, lie
stood up against the Annexation cf Tex
as—condemned the repudiation of the
.Missouri compact—regarded the Lecomp
ton Constitution, with the whole series of
outrage? whereby Kansas was sought to
be dragj-ud into the ombraoo -of Slavery,
with undisguised was
ulways less ha'vd upon us than a Northern
doughface with respect to the llight of
Petition. There was no slaveholder in all
the South who clung more tenaciously to
the. Union, or evinced a more abiding
consciousness that Northern convictions
of righteousness and benefieienee of Lib
erty were to be duly regarded, as well as
Fomthcr in behalf of Slavery,
the Union was indeed to bo preserved.
Mr. Kaynor has just written a long
nnd i»ble letter on "Reconstruction,"
wherein he confirms our belief that it
would have been perfectly safe fir the
North to have proposed a submission of
the issue of Union or Disunion to a fair
and free popular vote of the Slave State
alone: lie g*y»:
"The hearts of the grtsat mass of the
Southern people were never in this dis
union movement. In calling their S'ute
■Convention, it was not with the foregonei
conclusion that disunion was to follow.—
It was because tho times were perilous,
aid it was thought best to convene tin; :
sovereign power of the States, to consult
on what was best fisr' the com tut u good. J
In not a State, (T "Wink) f.*as the ordi
nance of iSeuessitiftcviM «UlFknlttcd to the
people for their ratification or rejection,
"fis true that in the Spring of 1801 there
was a storm of feeling that swept over
the South—a sort of furore, growing out
of the idea before suggested, that it was j
a var of vindictivaness on the part of a
.section, rather than the effort of a gov
ernment to'crif'oree its lawful authority.
But that tornado soon subsided:' as w;n 1
evinced by'the necessity of n conscrip
tion, in order to.keep up the army.
"As 1 ha,ve already said, tho conven
tion of this Stat?, (and, so far as the
Union element is concerned, 1 believe I
may speak for the other States), in voting
for secession, did not regard it as a foVe
gone conclusion that disunion must fof I
low. The friend* of the Union hoped 1
that the imminence of the conflict would !
force a settlement of the difficulty, and j
even after blood began to flow, they earn
estly and anxiously looked forward, day]
after day, and month after month, for \
something to turn up that would result !
in the making of ponce, and tho restora- j
tion of harmony. But here was their j
difficulty: After having placed thg State
in the position where she was—or rather"
in having adopted her to the position in
-which Mr. Buchanan had placed her—
tliey felt bound, as a matter of personal
hoiior; to sustain her in that position un
til a reconciliation should take place.—
That was, no doubt, tho moving consider
ation with the members of the Confed
erate Congress, who still had hopes of a
• peaceful settlement on the basis of recon
struction. But they ultimately found out
that by sustaining the Confederate Gov
ernment, for the time being, under any
: impulse of personal honor, oed for the
additional reason that the more respecte
ble the position of that government, the
better terms they may expect to obtain
in the adjustment of tho difficulty—that
they had made the government too strong
for themselves, and thereby disarmed
-..themselves of all power to restrain and
control-it. Thus it was, the Union men
fi und themselves powerless. Having
blundered into tho difficulty* and every
effort to get out seemed to involve a se
ries of additional blunders. Finally, con
scription, habeas corpus repeal, repudia
tions, tithes, impressment, and heavy tax
ation consumated tho reign of terror,
which crushed and prostrated, and scaled
the mouths of tho friends of the Union
throughout the Soiith. * * * * *
"1 speak plainly. »T(m want the truth,
and the truth you shall have. T regard
it as more than idle uovq U> .attempt to
justify or excuse the people for
the course they pursued, nHn justify and
• excuse the Union men of tire South for
that which they ought to have done but
did not do. They ought to have thrown
themselves infei the breach in the first
instance, and have risked civil war at
' home rather than have allowed an issue
of arms between the sections to have ta
ken place. Failing to do that, t,hoy should
have arrested the war by counter-revolu
tion as soon asxhey discovered that South
ern independence,'as a condition prece
dent in a negotiation for peace, was im
practicable and impossible. Tiicjr errprs
wore errors of omission, rather than of
commission. Still their errors wore most
grievous, uud most grievously have they
suffered for tjiem."
Mr..Ruynor very forcibly and-truly de
■piets the present bankrupt, destitute con
• dition Of the Soifthdrn people, ruined If
-u wav forced upon then, by ambitious and
sell seeking politicians. Ho says :
"You can havejio idea—uo Northern
mau can have—of the utterly subdued,
crushed, and broken spirited condition of
our people. Such an upheaval, moral,
social aud political, has not been witness
ed, in my opinion, in any civilized coun
try in modern history. I.know it is a
,verj easy way of disposing of the dißi
• enlty by-one who cannot appreciate the
•condition of affairs, by saying, 'Let eve
rybody goto work.' And BO they would
if there was work «*do. But, as I said
-before, thero is a stagnation of every find
of business, Ihore is uo money—no
capital. The wiioU frame work of our
industrial system is shuJceu to pieces; and
that all of a sudden. Suppose, by some
commercial revulsion.all the money should
-disappear from Philadelphia or Nfew York
and tlie larger portion-of the inhabitant*
were deprived of all their wealth aud re
sources of every kind: suppose the labor
ing portion of the population were to re
fuse to work at their ordinary avocations'
—just conceive to yonrself what a pic
ture would be presented. Weflid the
.problem of their difficulties be solved by
the flippant remark, 'let them all goto
work V I assure you the ease I have put
T)y way of illustration, is not overstated
whoa applied to the present condition of
the South. A Northern man in merely
passiug through a Southern town would
not see this. Our houses are still stand
ing they vere not burnt). Their
cxtcriorexpearanee would deoote comfort.
Our supplies of food and clothing are not
quite*oihausted, nnd hence we have not
been reached by famine. But when you
come to look closely into the eoudition of
the people, especially with reference to
the future, the prospect is dark and for
bidding indeed. If there was work for
everybody to do there would be no diffi
culty about it It is a mistake to suppose
that the Son I hem people arc axhaiude ti'
work.
"Let us look iato the matter closely.
Suppose a man is a preacher; t will be
gin with divinity first. lie can preach
still where his church is left stailding ;
but his congregation have not :IMS money
to pay him 3100 it quarter,where formerly
they paid liim SSJO. Suppose he is a
lawyer; in the first place there is no law,
as there never is where there is no busi
ness; and if there was, his clients cannot
pay him any money. The same is the
ea«e with the physician. People getsiek
as usual, and they send for their doctor,
but tliey cannot pay him money foiwhis
services. Suppose he is a merchant, hi?
bushel of 'udl'ederato'paper left on his
hands won't buy goods in the Northern
cities; and if ha could get goods on cred
it, his old customers have no money to
buy with. Suppose he is a school-teach
er, the parents of children cannot pay
for their schooling. Suppose he is a car
penter, 'there Are r.o htfUscs being built.—
Suppose he U a tailor or a shoetMkef, or
a saddler; everybody is economizing and
trying to iuake every article of old cloth
ing or of other domestic use? lost as long
as possible. And yet every one of theie
men has his family to support. How is
it with the farmer ? Formerly he had
his regular income from what he made to
sell. If he had no money, he could get
credit until he coul 1 dispose ofhis forth
coming crop; now his resources are gone.
His slaves Hare lift him, or if t#:y te
main, it is to do not "mortf than half ftork,
raising a bare supply ff- eorrr; for there is
no cotton, toVmcoo, rice, sugar, &0., (the
articles which formerly brought fnoney in
the country, and thus went into all the
channels of circulation,) being gone.—
Consequently he cannot promise to pay
money positively at a given time, even if
there was any one to loan it to him.—
Banks cannot go into operation for the
purpose of aiding and sustaining credit—
first, because there is no capital on which
to base them; and secondly, the borrow
ers would have'no reliance on their abili
ty to meet the payments when due.
"Therefore, what sort of 'work' can all'
these classes of people 'go to V They
cau't erect manufacturing establishments
and goto manufacturing! because that re
quires capital, and they have nono. The
same of tuini.ig; the same of commerce.
To build vessels requires money, and also
skill in these peculiar branches of labor,
which must come from abroad. After
weighing these considerations, what then,
would 1c man s»y vho supposed he had
disposed of the difficulty by saying, 'let
everybody goto work V Would he say,
let everybody goto work in the fields,
raising corn, cotton, tobacco, &c.? The
only reply to that suggestion is this: sup
pose the very state of things I have de
scribed as existing here in the South
were, by some great rovulsion, to sudden
ly take place in the State of Pennsylva
nsa, or New York, would any sensible
and reflecting man, in either State, sug
gest as a remedy for the evil, 'let every
body goto work in cultivating the soil?' "
We beg the Northern people to con
sider thesp truths when they are asked to
contribute of their plenty to the relief
of Southern need. There is a frightful
ainotfnt of suffering at the South, espec
ially among the widows and orphans of
those who lost their lives in the War.—
Food is scarce,, while almost everything
else is still scarcer. Millions are hungry
and raggH who would gladly work for
what lhoy need. liut they have little
or no capacity for earning money, and
there is veryiitile of msaey or money's
worth to be oarned. „Therc should bo
generous contributions from the North
the coming Winter to keep the Southern
people from suffering Severely for the
barest necessaries of life."
But when Mr. Raynor comes to speak
of the Southern Blacks who were recent-
I3' his slaves and those of his neighbors,
he forgets all be has said of the impossi
bility of finding work—or rather, pay for
work—and accuses them of all manner
of reckless and unmitigated idleness.—
Though nobody has money or food to
spare for labor, and they have uo land, he
blames them for not being constantly and
profitably Employed. Though lie consid
ers Slavery a curse, and says (no doUbt
truly) that lux nog»oes were never any
protit to hiui, he holds that the south hat
lost 84,000,000,000 by Emancipation.—
Though a humane and considerate mas-,
ter, who always regarded Slavery as an
evil—that is. for the Whites—ail his old
prejudice is aroused by seeing .himself
surrounded by free negroes ; and he wants
them driven from the country before lie
can again feel at home in it. On this
point, he says :
'■ In this State, public opinion is unan
imous iu favor of the separation of the
White mid Black races; and I learn that
the same view is gaining strength rapidly
all over the South. You may rely on it.
the two races cannot co-exist in the same
country where there is anything like the
same approximation to equality in num
bots as there in in the South. The good
of both races requires their separation. I
assure you, in all sincerity, my opinion
is that, if this separation does not take
place, in'lese than t<*n years the Southern
States will retrrgrade into o State of semi
barbarism. There ts but one thing to
prevent it, and that is the operatiou of
those natural laws which has caused the
Indian, and, so far as has been tested, on
a small seale, the African 100, to die out
and disappear when thrown on their own
resources iu competition with the White
race. It is to be hoped the Ge&exal Gov
ernment will immediately turn ks
tiou to this question of Colonization, and
that the statement of the North will bo
sTßw on it their mature consideration.—
As to the place, the proper territory can
be found if the Government should de
cido on it. As soon as the will prevails
the way can be devised. We have had
hopes that a heavy immigration would
pour down here from the North and from
Europe, and that a hardy, industrious,
and enterprising population would settS
upon our lands, improve our coontry, and
develop its resources. Hut Ido uot think
tbey will~e!?me so long as Hie negroes arc
here. This Black population has here
tofore kept immigration from the South.
I fear they will be still more objectiona
ble tithe immigrant in a state of free
dom. Ihe Northern people owe it to hu
manity, toward JaytH race*, to their own
interest, to do *l." '
II«»re is a 'oud call on the Government
and (lie North to provide the means re
quired to remove,Three or Four Millions
of Laborers from our country—ajob which
if it could bo accomplished,' would eost
a sum equal to ourpresent National Debt.
I'or the I Slack- \*ill not voluntarily go;—
they will have to be from their
native land by force, if at all, as the Cher
okee, Greeks, Seminoles. and other In
dians were ; and we know by sore expe
rience that this is a costly undertaking
Spain expelled her Moors ; France -did
the same with her Huguenots: and ei
ther nation gratified her bigotry and prej
udice at the cost of serious weakness and
1 npoverishmcnt. Neither of them has
fairly recovered from the consequent ex
ban-station to this day. And can we —
with the South ii? ruins, and the -wholo
country staggering under a frightful load
of National, State and local indebtness
—afford to repeat this exploded, culpably
ruinous folly ?
Mr. Raymond cannot mislead us
on this point; for we of the North
long since emancipated our slaves,
j and their children and
dren are still among us. Though Ave
have never been fully just to lliein,
the-.' have earned their living quite as
: general as the-rest of us, and are
earning it to-day. They used to eon
| scire to revolt while we held them in
Slavery : they have done nothing of
"flic itinff since we gave them liberty.
-TVlere'nredissipated, 'shiftless, worth-
I less creatures among thetft ; but the
majority are industVious and moral,
S and there is a smaller per contago of
; them in our Alms-llouse to-day than
there is of our immigrant p opula tion,
j Though prejudice born of Slavery
shuts them out of the more tnanly
| and piMitrble avocations, they as a
| class arc improving in thrift and in
j creasing in property year by year.
We ijon't want that expatriated, and
j don't mean to he taxed to pay for the
expatriation of their Southern breth
ern. If any Blacks or Whites want
to leave the country, the way is open,
j and will remain so.;.but wo don .t want
to pay honest peepfie to leave us, and
fed that we have no right to thrust
! our rascals upon oth»r countries.—
Let each take care of its own.
Freetn6n of the North ! you must
teach our Southern 'brethren that
there is safety injustice and thrift
in absolute freedom. If negroes or
others clioo e tosteal rather than work
deal with them sternly ; but, when
you punish, let the culprit suffer not
for being a negro, but fcr being a
fhief.
This reproach of indolence is old
as the hills. Iho Egyptian taskmus
tcrs flung it at the Israelites when
they were compelled to make brick
without straw. Ask a Uritksh Tory
to-day why the Irish peasantry are so
sgualid and needy, and he will an
tv. or that they are indolent and thrift
less ; and thi3 is measurably true.—
Vet tho same thriftless Irish, transplant
ed to America, become industrious and
energetic, because they find here Oppor
tunity and Mope, which are denied them
in their native land. Let us have faith
in doing right, and in that faith go man
fully forward!

Kir" Liberty and Union, Now and Forever, One
and 'nssparable."—D. Webster.
The K left ions.
So far tho elections have all gone
one way. West Virginia is almost unan
imous in favor of the Republican ticket.
Scarcely a Copperhead has found his way
into either House of her Legislature,
which is overwhelmingly .Union.
.Nebraska, that was at first thought
doubtful, is also in the Union column.—
New York and New Jersey both voted
yesterday; as yet wo have not learned
the result, in which a great interest is
felt all over l|y country. In thc«e States,
both parties sueceectod in getting up*i
warm canvass; in the former, tho Chicu
goitcs abandoned both their principles and
men, indorsing President Johnsotl and
taking Gen. Slocum—a successful Gen
eral and former Republican—as thuir
standard-bearer, hopiug thereby to gain
the spoils : .Whether the trick will suc
ceed we will soon learn. It is hardly
possible to suppose that New Jersey can
bo redeemed. Of all the free States, it
alone has refused to march in the Union
column. Yos. under the lead of conser
vative statesmen, New Jersey bids fair to
bo eveiij behind South Carolina, in her
adoption of tho Constitutional Amend
ment, —so tenaciously does tho domineut*
party of that State cling to "tho buiu of
all vilianies" even after it has been con
signed to oblivion by thoso most interes
ted in its preservation.
Our Neighbor the Herald,
lias been quite loud iu its eulogies up
on the President and his policy of re-con
struction. How does ho like the follow*
ing, addressed to Gov. Marvin, of Florida:
"Your letter of Oct. 7th, was received
and submitted to the President. lie is
gratified with the favorable progress to
ward organization iu Florida, and desires
me to say that he regards the ratification
by the Legislature of tho Constitutional
Amendment of tho Constitution of tho
I-uited States as to ares
/"ration of the true hnjnl relations between
Florida ; n I the other States, and equal
ly indispensable to the return of peace
and harmony throughout tho repub
lic WM. 11. SEWARD."
Again, in a letter written to the Gov-
tfoorgia, by tho President him
self, we find the following, which wo rec
ommend to Our State Sovereignty neigh
bor,:
"It will not do-to levy and collect tax
es from the State and people that are loy
al and in tho Union that was contracted
to aid in taking them out. * * * *
Those who invested their capital in tho
erection of tho debt must meet their fate."
This, is a part of ti e reconstruction
policy of tho President. As the Herald
has undertaken to be tho exclusive or
gan of the Piesident, in this county, will
it explain under what particular provis
ion of tho Constitution, as understood by
the State's rights Democracy, he exercis
ed such high powers, in matters that cas
ual observers would suppose were exclu
sively for the States to deal v. ith in their
sovereign capacity.
Itc-ConNt ruction.
We once heard of a tall, funk vcrdeut
; looking Yankee, who having strayed some
! distance from home, happened to fall in
with a company of youth.), who under
took to make SJIUO sport at his ciponcc.
Making up liia minu to "turn the joke"
with then, he offered to ' bet" that he
cculd throw one of their number into
the centre of a good sized stream near
| by. One hundred dollars was staked,
and at it he went; seizing liiui by the
j cuff of the neck aud the rear part of his
pantaloons, he threw him some distance
int§ the stream, but not near the centre !
The youth came out drenching wet, but
| with an air of triumph oa his brow,' de
j manding the wager. "Hold on" said the
yankee, "I a'nt done yet." Seizing Jiis
subject again he gave him another
plunge, which resulted as before ; coming
out a second time, the amphibious fellow,
| looking somewhat as though be been
; the victim of a huge joke, agaip pleaded
; the finility of the test; but tbe ya«kcc
|as fresh as ever, declare! that ho bad
J ngt half tried yet; that he could "make
; the landing the next time," whereupon
the u vie tain '"gave it up." surrendered
I the wager ajid went hjs way, determined
never to attempt to practice upen
i strolling yankee again. We were re
minded of this joko when refloating..on
the process of re-construetioa in the nib
el territory. At first they were allowed
to hold a few tuuniciple elections, in which
howeuer, they manifested a dispositiiw to
; vote ouly for the uioit rebels I Of
j course these elections were set aside.—
i Next an opportunity was given .them to
form grganizat\)>ijs Statft coq
rentions were held aiul Coirstitutions
amended, t 0 come within thepale of Exe
cutive favor. Tim Constitutional Amend
ment was adopted, and a provision in each
of tlicin State constitutions, abolishing
slavery. The adoption of these progres
sive measure* was rcluctonrly acquiesced
in because they know it was absolutely
necessary to .secure reeoguitim. Hut, to
offset this, they have again manifested
their love of treason by electing (he
most prominent rebels to tho chief pla
ces in their gift. Gen. Hampton, of
South Carolina, and (Jen. Humphreys
of .Mississippi, are each elected Govern
or of their States respectively, In some
states they have sought to elect Congress
men, who can take the amnesty oath—
(that they have not born arms agatnst
the United States, nor aided its enemies.)
Hut Gov. Perry tells the people of South
t'arolina, that no citizen of Chat Stirto
can take tffilt oath without perjuring him
self, and intimates very clearly than Con
gress will treat them somewhat after tho
fashion which the ynnkee adopted in his
encounter with the youth already men
tioned, —erery time South Carolina, or
any other re constructed State, sends a
delegation of her leading rebels to Con
gress, there to again unite their coun
sels for evil with their former friends—
the democracy of the north, —it will take
them by the seat of the pantaloons and
throw them back—repeating it evary
time they return, until they lay jiside
their haughty air, and do fruits meet
for repentance. Then, and not till then,
need they expect Jto be restored to their
former position as States of the Union,
and the sooner Ahey are ir.ado acquain
ted with tho true state of tho case tho
better for all concerned.
The Frccclmeii,
In the Tribune of a recent date, we
read an account of the action of the
Presbyterian Synod, which met in Lynch
burg, Ya , a short time ago. The action
of this body is one of the most hopeful
signs yet visible .fnoui that quarter.—
Without a grumble they address them
salves to the new order of things and
declare it the duty of tho church, at
once to commence the work of cnlight
cning the Freedmeu of the State, and
preparing them for a higher civil and
viiil position. Mr. Kikpatrick. who had
bceu a Captain in the Hebel army, spoke
eloquently in their bolialf. '•They were
brought to this country by us," said the
speaker. "They have been our playmates
in childhood, have been reared among us,
waited upon us at our fireside, have nurs
ed us in sickness as we have thciu." *
* * Universal testimony show that
(taking thutu altogether and making due
allowance for their ignorance and circum
stances of peculiar temptation in which
they have been placed) they are behaving
themselves as well as could be expected
of humau nature generally. And now
as philanthropists, as christians, can wo
cruelly detest them yi' .Judge Watson,
in the course of his remarks said, "The.
question was not whether these people
,«e to be educated or put, but by vhum.
lie assured that they will be taught; the
responsability of determining -by whom
and what depends upon us. Missiona
ries have been sent, and will be sent.
* .* Again, the negro will exercise
important civil rights. Without refer
ling to tho question of suffrage, they will
be witnesses iu our civil Courts, you
can't prevent it if you wotild. * * *
Negroes-will sue and t<e sued, and if so
tho Legislature will be bound to admit
their t. stimony. This time is not far
off." "They" (the negros) are diiect'y
innocent.of tho troub[ps we suffer. Let
us ask ourselves, would wo be better in
their condition? and then strive to bear
patiently with thorn iu their faults. Lot
us treat them with kindness."
Kev. M. Anderson said, "If the minis
ter wijlonly let them see that he loves
them, that he wishes from his heart, to
do them good, they will often at least pre
fer them to one of their own color, lie
was preaching to a very large colored pop
ulation, and his interest in them was the
main thing to bind him there. Hut if
we have .an organisation in which they
can take no part, tliuy will not couio.—
* * His fixed purpose was togo for
ward and labor for the salvation of this
warm hearted race."
Dr. Smith, of the Union Theological
Seminary, *aid that "durihg the revolu
tion in Greece, a Ladies' Sewing Society
applied to John Handalph, of lloanoke,
for aid to the cause 'The Greeks' he
exclaimed, 'are at your doors,' refering to
the negroes. There were, to his mind,
remarkable Providences in our cass con
nected with this subject. Virginia and
North Carolina had sent a nuiuborof Mis
sionaries to foreign lands. Under Prov
idence, nearly all had returned. Did it
not seem as though a voice from Heaven
were saying, 'Go back and preach to the
, heathen in your own land V "
Space fails us to refer further to the
I proceedings of this body. To us, itsectus
j to be the first solid movement of import
| ance in that section, aifd is indeed en
j couiaging. When Southern divinai aro

To put treason under your feet has cost
a great sacrifice of blood alid treasure.
To-day, your great study should bo to
prevent the recurrence of such a calami
ty. Kurr was not executed, Calhoun
was not executed, and these two mistakes
gave us Jefferson Davis. Shall he go
unpunished : 11 you woultl have no more
of rebellion, you must teach youi ! children
that treason is odious and sympathy with
it eternal infamy—this you canuot do by
elevating tho guilty to positions of hon
or up ui the graves of our loyal slain. 1
wculd rather point them to the number
of their killed and wounded, to the bro
-ken hearted widows and crying orphans,
and tell thorn ' Your four years ot rebel
lion is a failure." but for Ibis suffering
you shall ever be held accountable. Let
tlifc fatherless follow at their heels and
cry murder ■ Lot tho finger of scorn
bring, daily to their minds, the great crime
that lies at their door; an 1 posterity be
hold their history and their graves cover
el with immortal dishonor, a warning for
all time, that. (Jod is just, and traitors
shall be punished. "Lot all alienations
bo lurried with the </<•<«/." tut let not
living tools of treason bask in the. sun
shine ofpopular favor, respectability and
honor. "Justice" would not forbid his po
litical opponents coming to the funeral of
a father or a brother, but he would have
them occupy their proper position as the
murderers of fathers, nnd tho murderers
of brothers. A certain man who Juul a
brother in tho army, joined* "The
Golden Circle," to subvert and betray
ibis Government. Three years rollud
round, 'fbe brother rciulisted; through
great suffering'wilk perseverance and un
tiring devotion, hen et the enemy in sev
enteen different cneouuters and was still
unharmed during this timo, by his vigi
lance and loyalty, the plans of his broth
ers' Golden v irola were discovered and
frustrated. One'uiorc .hope was left for
the rebellion, (he disloyal brother declar
ed the Four years of .War a failure, and
invited a Convention of (lie States in re
bellion,whereupon Karly started,fur Penn
sylvania upon an electioneering tour and
the loyal brother was murdered at Coder
Creek, Va. Fratricide ! Fratricide ! !
Fratricide.' I
Justice says tlio disloyal brother, while
pursuing an unrepentant course, should
not sit by public consent in a positiop ,gf
lionor upon the grave of his muvJcred
brother. Call not this "A feud?" Jtis

received from Mr. A'kms, together
with its accompaniment, a copy of a
note of Karl Russell, relating to the
restrictions upon American national
vessels which latfly were maintained
by Her Majesty's Government in
British ports anil waters. The dis
patch shows that all the objectional
restraints referred 10 have now been
entirely removed, and that it is the
desiro of ller Majesty's Government
that unrestricted hospitality and friend
ship shall be shown to the vessels
of war of the United Sta es in all Her
Majesty's ports, whether at home qr
abroad. The President has directed
me to make known to Her Majesty's
Government his satisfaction for this
pleasing manifestation of Considera
tion anil justice on the part of Great
Britan. I have, therefore, to request
you to infurmtbe naval officers of the
L nitcd States that the instnuctions
thai have .heretofore been given then
to wake discriminations in regard to
their vessels in British ports and
their intercourse with British naval
vessels are now cor.ntermarufed jrid
withdrawn, and that henceforth the
most liberal hospitality and courtesy
will be exp cted to be shown by the
Navy of the United Status to.the
Navy of Great Britan.
I have the honor to be i
Yonr ob's aervent,
William 11. Seward.

boy, who gave 110 special indication, by
dress or face, oi other than ordinary train

heavy as nearly to bear him down be
neatli it. We observed, "my boy vou
have a heavy load." "Yes," said "be.
"but I d rather carry it than that my
mother should." The remark was oue of
a nature we love to hear ; but we do not
