I regard Abe Lincoln, and in the main his supporters, much worse tra'ors t: our glorious Union ami Government although thev art! nt its head by a minority vote of the people, than Jeff Havis and his party who have renoime ed it altogether. - You now know what I am. You state " issues change but principles re main the snnie." The issues are the same lie tween the friends ami enemies of our Con-titu tion r,d Government. The enemies tire now unfortunately in lower, but n day ofreikoiiing will come and I hope and pray it may con e soon. 1 urn for the Union, the Constitution and the laws made under it, with all my heart, but I bt lieve I he policy of the party in power what ever may be their pretentions to loyalty and patriotism, to be opposed to the Union and n direct violation o! the plain letter and also the spirit f the Constitution, hence I have no sv in pathy for ihem.

You nppenr apprehensive that Imy be "Imf. dear such such I fy ' or mad at vour letter. iNow mv brother. I will say to you. dismiss all thoughts from your mind. I entertain no feelings towards you, but rather those ol that my older broth, r should be tile victim of such gross prejudice and blind infatuation. I w ill not say a word for the purpose of irritating you, but I beg you to riermit mo to deal candidly with yon and use plain talk. We have had con siderable controversy in days bygone, and some that v as not very pleasant, and in my last letter to you I thought I would wave subjects of con 1 roversv, and write about (hose things upon which w e were agreed, for I could not for a mo ment allow myself to believe that you had turned traitor to the Government ot your country ; and hence, was not altoget her prepared to receive so belligerent and war-like an answer from you ; hut I will try and wade through it patiently, and an swer it with such facts and argummts as will commend themselves to y our consciousness, g., much for an introduction. You say that, modern liepub ieanism '-has broke up the peace of the nation, churches and families; it has involved us in a servile and foreign war ; it has demoralized I he i:att.,n and people to die lowest depths ; it has di-.i i garded and trampled upon our Con-tilutioii and laws iti the. most shameful manner; it has involved u3 in a debt of $500,000,000 ; it h.is broke up our commerce, until now in thia place corn is only worth seven to eight Cents per bushel, and all the farmers make for sale, in proportion ; it has raised the price of imports until colT e is 25 ecu's per pound, ami other things in proporiion ; it has filled our country with vindictive malic?, hatred, death mourning, and a'l growing out of the everlasting 'nigger (jiiistion.' " Here I h ive quoted your own language at length, and I must, say that it is t singular piece of composition. First, you say that modern liepu'olicani -m has done all this mischief. This is mere assertion of yours with out the shadow of proof. )id you expect me to receive tliis bold statement, wit iioilt t he senib 'a o of testimony ' I'.it this is not the worst tcatuiv ir. I he. in itier. Yon th"ii say that it grew out ot tlic agitation or me negro question. or the ''negro agitation. Now, my broiln-r, you have lifle I the responsibility ot all the. crimes and calamities off of "mo leru Republican ism," ioi.l j laced it on tile ''everlasting negro ag itation! ..vv let us impure wno nave been he agiutors. Every well iiit'ouii. ,1 pi rson knows In there are two classes of agitators. The first uid prii a: pal cisss are t hose wno present, advo ate and liefeiul a -vsiem ; the second are those wlio oppose and condemn it. I n cr this view i the subject, it is easy to determine who h ive been lh" principal agitators. It. is inipos idle to g 't up an imitation upon any subject until its friends thrust it, upon pu .U!; attention. I his :hi;v can d either by words or actions. If a inject has no advocates, all stiife and ngita lion die out like tire Ibr the want, of fuel. It the friends in d lovers of slavery had been content r it to remain wilhin and not en beyond its constitutional limits (the States in which it exist i d) there would have been little ngital ioli outside i hose Siates. Ibit when the ft lends of the "pe miliar institution ' dragged Texas into the Union and made war upon Mexico for the purpose of spreading, sireiigth.-ning an I perpetuating this foul leprosy of slavery, then the f i n Is ol free ilom became justly alarmed, and began to agitate in the oppoitn direction. Now suppose that the slavery propag an. lists had submitted to the will of anti-shivery people and given up their mad and wicked scheme of strengthening human bondage ; would not the everlasting negro agita tion have ceased ? Then why did they notecase th-ir agitation, and give the country peace? There rta but a little handful of them, compara tively speaking some 350 000 slaveholders, and yet they must, excite, agitate and disquiet this great mil ion of . 0,000, 0v0 of people. But I will now say that Stvph ai A. iJoiiglas. who is gone lo Ids account, did more to excite and -l'o oke deep, general and violent agitation than any five ant i-slaveiy men in this nation. When he introduced and persistently advocated his bill to repeal lh .Missouri Compromise line, and thereby open tho 11 o g a'e of slavery extcn sion ; this movement shook ibis nation to its center, and created one general 1nz a of excite in-lit. and agitation all over the United Srate. inl yet you, mv brother, supported this urcli "negao agitator for tho presidential chair, if I have correct information on the subject. The gre t and moving eau-es of "negro agitation'' within the last twenty year ., was tirst, S cret iry Calhoun's ree'omuieiidation to annex Texas fir the avowed purpose of extending and strengthen ing that institution ; second, 4 de-man I id slave advocates to have all the territory acqu'red from Mexico open to the institution ( slavery ; and third, the repeal of the Missouri Compromise line. 1 hese. me isaires canned ih,- "negro 'fa lion," and now I ask, wl: is responsible f r ir ? ..e tin re i lea, b-f -re I lc.iv. this p r? ol th.

And slavery is the only tle United Siates for his cuide.and Davis, under sulijcct that I know of that asks to be exempted L strange and barbarous fl ig, with a new Const i from examination. You freely accord to all the tin ion formed nn.b-p a divi.ion of ih,. Sii... privilege ot arguing ami ot investi gating the claims of Christianity, the nature of r generation and the doctrine of atonement ; but American shivery is to sjicrcd to ho enquired into we may freely overhaul all other sunjeits but we mu st keep hands off of human lion. Inge ! I have always heard it said (and believe the sav ing true) that investigation never injures the truth ; til it it comes out of the ordeal brighter and stronger than when it entered. I have tin derstood that falsehood shuns the light, and avoids examination. Is this correct I If the Ci'.l.tmitii s our coui.tr)' is now suffering grow out of the -'everlasting negro agitation," i have fixed, iminoveably, the responsibility of the same upon ''modern Democracy." But 1 will now point you to the true cause of all the distress ot our nation, and that, is Amor icon slavery ! This is the foundation of '.he whole. Is this ''everlasting negro question" an evil I If so, out of what did it grow Out o slavery as a matter of course. If shivery had never been planted on Amcric an soil, would there have I ceil ny agitation on the subject ? Il it did not ,-xist in our country now, would there unv agitation of it at. the present? This is the poison root from which has grown till the distress i f the American people. This dark, hideous, horrid monster, slavery, "has broke tiji the peace oft lie na'ion, churches and families." and caused all that long train of evils of which you speak. Again, you say that modern Kejaiblicanism h is "irainpled the Constitution and laws under loot in the most .shameful manner." Why did you not poi it out one instance in which they did ihis. Assertion without proof has but little cffs'l with me. I deny, positively, that the Republi can party have l one any such thing. A moments it 11 ction ough to have taught you belter than to make such a sta etin nt mid iherby involve v our.sclt in such an absurdity. When did the Hi-publicans come into power, (hit is. the ndmin i tration of tin- Government ? The 4th ot march lMil.

I now come to notice h part of rour letter that requires me to bear heavily upon you. You ay: "I regard Abe Lincoln, and in the main his suonorters. much worse traitors to our glo rious Union and Government, than Jeff Divis." Again, you te rue tint yu are f rthc " Union the Constitution and h" laws made under it. with all your heart." Th--n ns yu consider 1 resident L neoln is doing more injury lo the Union nt.d Constitution, that von love so well, than Jiff Davis, your sympathies and feelings must be with the latter, consequently I am force reluctantly to the conclusion that you nr a dis unionist and that secession nest'es in your bosom. Oil! hoy mortifying this is to me ! President L neoln was roi -t 'utionally el--t.-l to that high olli -e and so pro- minced by B - -k. 1 intercessions arising r..r rus i. ne larier ; j . f i x ...

As I u-li to make this matter jfcctlv pla n, I will preseii ja,v 'lt t(, contending per ut it further Now there tare out t o contelulin .' narties Lincoln, under his conduct being morn in accordance with vour views of propriety, yon nnist necessarily rejoice in his victories and mourn over Lincoln's; you mouin over Davis' defeats, and rejoice over Lincoln's ; if this is not treanon what is? You say that Lincoln was elected by a minorily vote. Now I say that he received a respectable majori tv of ihe electoral votes overall hiscompetitors. If you menu the popular vote of the people, I reply that he had a much larger popular veto than old leu Ice an had, and I never heard of your objecting to his Admiuistraton on that ac count. You say a i!ay of reckoning will conic, and you hope and pray that it may come snon. if your mind was not. enshrouded in darkness, you would peri cive that a day of reckoning h i already come, is now upon the nation for the injustice, the oppression and roberies committed by modern Democrats in obedience to I ho de mall, Is of slavery. Look at Missouri ; you say lh.it Slate is "liltcrallv ruined." ! say she is suffering the just penalty of h ! robberies and oppression. Had it not been for slavery, she would now be taring as well as Illinois. Look at Lifivette county. Utile Bill Russell said that that county had spent tfc'JOO.OOO in thecD'a- to force slavery upon Kansas. Ihe town ot Lexington planted her (anno upon the hank of the river, and compelled steamboats loaded witl Free Slate emigrants, to come to shore, robbed the emigrants, imprisoned some and turned olhei s back ie a slate of destitution. That county and town were more r impant in their blind fury upon lieeiloni in Kansas than any oilier portion ol the State, and now Providence has sent them cannonading nnd war to their heart's content Vou know that the south-west Mi-soiirhins have traiuiileil law anil orcler iniiler toot on various occasions, and now a day of reckoning has come But I say Missouri is not "laterally ruined." Sh win come ion rrom tue iiirnace a purer aim a better State. Radians and outlaws will be put down, and honest men will be raised upwhi w ill respect the lights of their fellow men. In the next place I w ill uolice your position on slavery, and you need not be surprised if I con viiice you that you are now and have been for the last thirty years, a rank pro-slavery prcachi r. ion say that you "ilo not want to own staves, lo live among them, or have anything lo do with them. I his proves nothing as to your views of the coral ch aracter of the practice. Many per sons do not wish to do things themselves tint they have no objections to others doing. Y u further say that you are "decidedly opposed to persons living out. of the Slave Stales meddling with slavery in any manner whatever." Now you do not waul to seize upon your fellow man, and rob him of every right makes life dear, bur vou can stand bv and look on with stoic indid'e reiice, while others do this villuii s deed. Not o ily so, but you can stand, as it were, with drawn sword (that is tongue and pen) and cut and thrust every arm that is put. forth to drag l he oppressor oil' his victim. If you were to act the same part towards a highway robber and his victim, you would be held and judged in law as equally guilty and deserving the same punish nuiit with the aittor. As to 1 homas and John joining the rebel army, I consider you responsible for that also. Y"ii say you were very much opposed to their joining "cither army North or South." Here you place this pro.savcry rebellion on an equal ity with the lawlnl Government of the United Stales. Now I should say that a father who cares no more for the well'u e of his country h in you seem to (I judge of your indifference liy spi aki' g ot the United States army in the Siine manner you do of the rebel arniv) ought to expect his sons to join in a rebellion. If you had taught your sons the unjust and villainous nature of American slavery, they would never have joined a rebellion to extend and perpetuate if. If you had taught them that all men, regard less of color, have an inalienable right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, they would never have been guilty of the horrid i rime of treason ngait st their Government. But the deed is done and llm disgrace is upon thein for lite, but I hope they may repent and liud forgiveness. l-'cciinj I lift II limps. Colonel H , tells a capital story of a ccr. tain wag in the interior, a jolly publican, who contritiulos a good deal to tint lift of that picas- I ant though soim tiui s obstinate borough. One uiori.ing a traveling phrenologist hi rive I at ins inn. And the next da. nppe. red in llm village paper a I ad yertis.-niis it, slating that Prof.)sor 15 had arrived, and would mak", "for a eoiisi.lei at ion," examinations of the heads of the ciUZ-ns, and accompany the ume with accurate, and reliable charts o character. Fur three or lour d iys his calls were sparse ; but on the fifoi day there was a rush of live or six to tho ap nt ments of t lis Professor. One morning a conn try man entered Hie inn where the phi-i-nob-jri-d had his room, and s.ai I to our landlord aloi eand: " Is this the place wh re Ihe phrenologist ' holds out,' thttc.an tell a man's k.i ractcr by the bumps onto his head J Yes," answered B mifice, wuh a reserved and dignified manner.

Ther were f i-tr or five morning trmrgcr in tha tavern, who checked a laugh, as tho countryman took his seat, having first, as requested, removed lis coat, vest, and neckcloth. The wag of a landlord ran his h inds through tho " har" of the " patient" for a moment, and said to the bar tend, er : "Mr. Fltpkins, take a sheet of paper, draw four lines down its whole length, and put down my figures un ler the heads I "mention to you." It was done. "Have you got il ?" " Yes, all right." "Very well;" and tho landlord went ou. with hi examination, which was rougher, perhaps, than there was any necessity for. "Put down Pniio-progeiiiiiveiiess, sixty." "Down sir." 'Very well: Reverence, two."" " Booked sir!" " Combativer.cs.s, two hundred ! ' What's that?" said the victim. "No matter sir : you'll see it on the chart. Caution, one; Credulity four hundred! "What's that last lumn ? asked the patient. "Nevermind, now, you'il understand it by and by.

Nor is this all : she has been the cause of ruinous extravagance in the families of her hu.sh nut's subjects, and in all countries whore the costly fashions she has set have found favor. M. Foiild, tho Emperor's Minister of Finance, threatens to resign his office unless her enormous drafts upon tho Ireasuary are curtailed. So costly has nhc. made thetoi. lette in Paris, that fashionable ladies are utterly unable to settle their bills for dress, and it is staled by the English press that it is as much as many ot them can do to pay the interest on tha large debts which following the imperial mode has caused them to incur. The world owes crin oline to the fair Eugenie ; and tho rougher half of its civilized population docs not feel by any manner of means grateful to her for the intro diietion of the article. She has madu her apart ments in the Tiiih-rics as magnificent as the pala ces one reads about in Oriental fables. The doors of her boudoir are ivory, inlaid with gold. The furuituro is of rosewood, inlaid with mir rors, gold, ivory, and pearl, and is upholstered with pale red silk.
