I have recently had fine opportunities of teeing bow (be public sentiment is drifting el lb? North, snd I feel oetffideut ihe Democrats will n?il csrrr a tingle original free Slate for Seymotir. Why U the North so strongly in favor of General Grunt, snd what course is be likely to pursue f No one ha* more aptly, or st I think, more correctly explained the reason of the unanimity for Grant thsn Mr. Adsins in his teoenl letter and speech in Colombia. In his letter he says "distrust and feat hare dictated your terms more than malice or revenge.'* lie thinks the defest ot the Democratic party will result from the fear that " its success would jeopardize the substantia! re-ults of the war.to Ue declares distinctly that " no par'.y could msintain itself which should re pitdiate the war or suriender its acqoii-iiionsr\g I am well acqtiainled with many of the leading mm of the Republican parly, and believe I under stand the principle* of ths parly well, and 1 feel confident that nitieMenlbs of the Republican members of Congress would fell) endorse tho main points in Mr. Adem?' speech and letter. There is n > spirit of malice or revenge actuating the gtest mass of tha Republican patty. There is no dedie to see men without character, wiietber Northern or Southern born, governing the people of the So'dth. Nor is there any desire to see ignoranco and incompetence occu pvirg high places and legi.-lating for the country. lint there it ? delertnina-. , tion to secure nil the auhMamiat remit* of ,the war, to preserve the credit of the government, to secure the equality of h!I classes iu the eye* of the law, and to i ee to it thrl the freednten have equal and impartial justice done them all over the South'. Above all thing*, there in a fixed determination to e?ial>ll?h free* doni of opinion and freedom of speech, and to suppress the lawlessness and vio lence mow exiting nil over the South. It is It'll that General Grnul is the tnnn before all other* to do this wotk. But In General Grant the law abiding white Mien of the South will not find an enemy. Nothing in his course ha- indicated that he wtdild act the par ii>at? in the execution of the Imts. Ili* CoUita during the war Was alwaV* that of a generous foe, and Mine the war closed he lias at all lime* shown the gieatesl dedre to testore the Union it* eail) a* possible, and on ilio basis of law and justice, Even Go*einor Perry would scarcely be able U? point to a single act of General Gram indicating a deposition to trample upon the laws and asauine dictatorial powers. Those who believe that General (bant will b? a tool of ulna men. or indeed of anybody, know but little of the character of the man. In hlin the North believe* j we will have a President firm but just, I enrt mtKA ae*ill "I"*" ? * anu -uu > ifUV} MIO CU1III11 HIIOII RTMI laws liim>elt and enforce obedience from oilier*, of whatever party, and who will enforce the honest nod economical administration of the government. Cannot honest, patriotic, law abiding and law-loving inen of the South, of both partius, respect such a man t It ie my Itope and belief that within a f-w months sf er general Grant'* inauguration be will be a popular man with all friend* of law and order at the South. Now, the suggestion that I wish specially to make, and to urga upon your attention, is that the pre** and, leaders of the Democratic parly modify their tone ?omewhat; that instead of violent abuss of the opposition, calculated to excite the bad passion* of demoralised, lawless men, that e?ery etTort be made to realrain such men ; that all act* of violence be discountenanced and dis cotu agod, atid that evil disposed p*'r>oiu? be reminded of the harm they are do ing the country, and especially their own party. I am confident the Republican leaders will - readily agree with the Democrats ip do all in their power to prevent vtoh-pce, and to urge moderation at all time* and place*. With snck an arrangement between the par tie*. 1 doubt not we could ptevent to e great exteat the lawle ane*e and bloodftha/l I It At 1j ?? - * - ? .?<> .. WTorj pur* Ul (he 8ou*b. We do out ask, end do not desire, your parly to desist from any proper meant of carrying the election in South Carolina. We intend to use all fair, legitimate mean* of carrying the State, and we are certainly willing for you to do the same. But we do aak, and tfce believe the request to be a reasonable one, that you unite your efforts with ours to prevent violence. I know that many prominent men in llie Democratic party in this city would readily sanction such a course, believing that it would result in very great good to the country, and to the credit of their party. It would tend not only to luing about a more friendly feeling between the two parties and the two races at the South, now entirely too bitter for the welfare of either, but it would create at the N oith a feeling of greater confidence In the good intentions of the white people of the 8outh that would he most beneficial.

It wa? discovered more than thirty vesrs ago in Germany, hut only recently brought to notice. There are too kiuds of this substance?one a dark brown fluid, ' known as Commercial Carbolic Acid? the oilier is, when kept from the air, a crvstaline solid.

Such is not the case. There is no dLhonor in poverty, since it may be purely the result of misfortune which no sagacity could avert. Men or women lose none of their manlv or wotnanlv dualities in ; 1 ~ " / being poor. For mI! this it ia no de . liralilt mala to be in. it i* aaid to d?v?| \ op aotno of our attribute*.
