Mr. Kellogg, in his great speech, declared that while the sun shone the North would not surrender its opinions. Dr. Seabury, one of the most learned Divines of the Episcopal Church at the North, declares that there is no hope of a restoration of the Union without that change, and he fears it will not take place in our day. Dr. Lord, the distinguished President of Dartmouth College, New Hampshire, in an able letter on the John Brown raid, declared that the crusade could never be stopped until it dissolved the Union--an event he considered the best for all parties.
