lection to the Presidency. From a sense of propriety, as a soldier, I have taken no part in the pending canvass, and, as always heretofore, mean to stay away from the polls. My sympathies, however, are with the Bell and Everett ticket. With Mr. Lincoln I have had no communication whatever, direct or indirect, and have no recollection of ever having seen his person; but cannot believe any unconstitutional violence, or breach of law, is to be apprehended from his administration of the Federal ease, to return to us, and recognize — as I for one am perfectly willing to do — the obligation of the Constitution as it is, when, according to its forms, a sectional candidate is placed for four busy and disappointing years (for such must be Mr. Lincoln's fate) in the Chief Magistracy of the Union.

If, when it comes to a settlement, Virginia will put up with not one whit less than her entire equality, and the power — guaranteed by constitutional amendments — to enforce that equaigious convictions as to give his Southern brethren a plentiful supply of that subterranean fire in the existence of which he did not for a moment believe. Holt is foaming at the idea of Washington being invaded by Virginians at the time of Lincoln's inauguration. The very thought of such a thing, is said to make him tremble with rage.
