And mo row us the street is, and densely lined with retail stores of all kinds and descriptions, yet it frequently presents on a bright, frosty winter's morning, or on a soft, balmy summer's afternoon, a very gay and brilliant appearance. The beauty of the ladies dresses, not to mention that of the ladies themselves, the bright colors of their velvets, sil!;s and feathers in which they are tuuijru, uiL'ir merry little children, the <r.'iy equipages passing to ami fro, drawn often by splendid horses, all thin taken together presents, us wo have said, a very imposing and brilliant appearance to the mere looker uii, and especially to one unaccustomed to such sights. There is really a good deal to amuse one, in a walk up t>n one side of this street, and down again on the other, the splendid jewelry stores, especially when lighted by gas at night, the en{?ra\iiigs, most beautiful ones, exhibited in t!ic wimhws of tl.c book stores, ne lovely china ar.d ;.!..ss, the piles of West India fruit, pine-apples, b>nauas, oranges, lemons, <?c. <\;e., the birds of all kinds, par row included, which politely ask you jiow nro you?" mid "what o'clock is it?" and end l?y informing you (hut "you lio ! ' All tliose, and far nunc tlnn we can possibly describe, render a stroll in Iving street, diverting even to those who arc " to the. manor born," but of Course still mora to tho etranger tVom the country, to whom all this is more or loss a novelty. Wo remember seeing very often a large and beautiful specimen of t!ie St. Bernard dug, which noble animal w;is owned by a jeweler who resided in this street he was as thick around tho body as the New Foundl.ind dog, but stood much higher on his legs, j his hair was not curly like the Ncwfoundl ml, but as straight as it could be.

We should have said tlu.ft i the dog first presents to the traveller (if ho is i able to make use of it) a flask of brandy, I which the monks have tied around his neck, i Those charit ible priests follow on t<> the place : (led hy this sensiblo and noble nnimuh where 1 (ho "K??t i? found/' niicl convey tho suffering, perilling man to their Convent, and hy timely and judiciously administered warmth nud food, tlio uioana, (under God) along with the friendly, dog, of R iving his life. Theso semes so often doscribcd flitted rapidly through our ' mind, while regarding with, ml mi ration this j magnificent annual, how truly is the dog cull- j ed " the friond of inuu j" tho Newfoundland dog luves man perishing in tho water or by j sharks, tho St. Jiernnrd dog saves him from ; peri.thing iu tho snow. Wo remember nl?o sooing about this tiuio in King strtet, ? very 1 pretty and interesting sight. A little girl ? was threatened by consumption .with an curly death, alio w.w not moro than six years ohl, j i ' and her father's only ohild, and hia iilol, her : ; i mothor being dead; the physicians ordcied her ', to tako constant and daily exercise on horso- \ back, avoiding, however, all fatigue. I for father bought Iter a beautiful little ohesnut pony, and had him thoroughly broken and j trained, to suit his delicate and precious littlo I mistress. Every day the little lady, nceom- j pauicd by her father, might be scon riding up and down King street, on her little ehesnut J pony. It was in the summer time, and every : afternoon the father and daughter would stop at n eonfectioncr's and send in for ice creams, the little pony would put its two fore feet on I n stepping-stone, and the little <rirl would eat her iee creams ns composedly, sitting on its back, as if she were in her father's parlor, at home.

Suppose tho lenders of that are obstinate, and show no evident sign of compromise? Is not this all brought about by n fear on their part, that tho party may be broken down even before it can gain access to power : Vou, certainly, ought to know that this is true. The Republicans arc in power in most of tlie Northern Sink's, iniil they do | not appear willing to allow the people a I chance to vote on comptomises, that will cor- ! tainly destroy their parly platform, until the regular time for holding election. So far as elections have taken ph.ee, there has appeared a iii:.nifcst renction ; and this would have appeared more manifest still but for the illegal and violent action of the cotton States.

Dear Sir: Vour letter of the 13th instant, 1 was received on yesterday Written, as I am ' s'ure it was, from the hot motives, itdeimmds of me u kind and respectful answer. Vuu say rightly that I was, a short time since, n i>tn'inch friend of the Union, and yon might have -dded that 1 am yet the friend of the Union which.our fathers formed, and would cheerfully lay down my life to mako it eternal. Looking at the subject from differcnt fstand points, it is natural that it should present a different appearance to you and to mo. You see only tlio evils of disunion, and forget that thorc ure wrongs to which submission is infamy. You do not feci those w.'ings, anJ, thorcforo, treat them lightly. Thoplunil < ' * * uui 111 viiu jiumic Treasury ih your gum, since 1 it orcutos a necessity for higher duties. I'or- ' sonul liberty bills do not cflect you, and tho * scornful refusal of Northern Guvcrouiontii to 1 surrender ?riminala indietcd uitder the laws n t>i the Southern States, awalcODft in your bo- c 8om no feeling of resentment. The appro- v priution of all the territory acquired by the v blood; and tho common Treasure, to scctional uses, would wear a very different as- | pectif it was your section tliat was robbed, instead of ours. Yon would not have made a martyr, and a saint of a midnight murder- | er and liouse burner, it the threater of his i exploits had been upon Northern toil. You I would not defy a despicable demagogue like ! Seward, if his irrepressible conflict, doctrine . had been preached to i*. el<?ss of laborers in j-uur miust, nor wouia any people nut hopelessly embittered against us, Imve greeted with rounds of applause, the declaration of Wendull i'liillips, that tin: mum; of a St. Domingo negro deserves to he written high above that of Washington on lie roll of fame. 1 know your answer will be, that these arc not the sentiments of the jwjjIc ot the North. : L have given tho same answer for you again and again. I believed it for years?1 wish 1 | could believe it yet. But. 1 cannot shut my j eyes to the fact, that those who preach these ; tilings arc precisely those whom your people ' l v i . i ii i . uui^ui iu iiuuur. x wancu aim uopeu lortne dawn of a better day, until l\c>po implied self- I stupilieation. The "regular time for holding | elections" lias come and gone many times J since this agitation began. Kacli time wo were promised that Abolition fanatics would be swept away by the blasts of popular indignation, and each time we have seen them grow stronger and stronger. Wo have allowed the people of the North "a chance to vote," not once but often, and every time that chance was allowed them, they have exhibited a growing fondness for the worst men, and the worst doctrines with which your section of the Confederacy is cursed. And now we are asked to submit quietly to the election of a J man whose nomination was made in open insult to our feelings?whose principles arc avowedly hostile to our institutions, and whose friends, from the day of It is election, have j manifested no feeling hut that of bitter and uncompromising enmity, *vhile even you | can ofTer us no hope of reaction anywhere ex- I ccpt in the little {State of Connecticut. Par- | don mo for saying that the degradation to I which you invite me is too deep to bo accept- J ed for the little good that it promises to bring j forth. You express the hope that T will not use | my influence to prevent a reconstruction. It | is one of the misfortunes of the times that the good men of the North do not seem to understand their own people, or ours. The work of reconstruction must be begun and carried on by you, and not by us. Wo have been reluctantly driven to disunion as the only refuge from slavery. If you want us back again, the first thing to be done, is to remove all just causes of complaint, and dissipate all well founded apprehensions of future aggression. You must observe the laws ; establish justice, and manifest a determination to respect all our constitutional rights. Until this is done, it is childish to talk of reconstruction. You cannot expect us to enter into a new partnership while the wrongs and insults ?r 11. . ..I i < in iin: uiu one mo unreurosscu, s>11d 110 provision is made against their recurrence. Ami now, sir, let ine ask you in nil candor, do you believe it possible tlnit we can obtain either redress for the past, or security for (be future? J)o not answer me by the poor sub-j terfuge, that a Democrat will be elected in | (Connecticut, and another mitjht be in New! Hampshire, if the Democracy irerc not <lcmoru/iznt. I know, and you ought to know, that the Democracy have furnished the main pillars of the abolition Church. 1 do not care to know, therefore, whether the (lover _. I* / 1 - * > * " inii in v oniiceiicui claims to be a Uemoerat or j \\ liiThat wliicli I wish to know is, will 1 this slavery agitation be allowed to eca&e? Can I travel tlmugh the State of New Voik with my servant, without his being stolen from me? Can 1 go to Ohio to recapture a slave, without being sued and held to bail 011 account for work and labor done during the time he was held as my property under the laws of my State ? Can 1 go anywhere at tin: North without being obstructed in the ] urw.,;? ..f ..... ?...w. 1 i . > ..uiv wi m y wuaioi11HIli'iiui n^in^ ; >> ill ;111v Northern Governor flurrender a felon who has deprived me of my property ?' Until you can convince and answer these questions to my satisfaction neither my voice or my vote shall ever bo given for u reconstruction of the I'uion. 1 have hoard others say, and possibly you may fi.iy, that all those matters will be righted, if wo will only give you time. Very wall, take as much time as you plg-'se. We do not prop se to limit you at all in that matter, but we intend to remain out of the part nersltip until it is done. It is your business, go to work and do it. After it is finished, you will lie in a condition to make propositions, and we can listen to tlicin without dishonor. In the meantime, as a precaution against the possible failure of your efforts, we will go on to build up such a government as will bo sufficient for the protection of our rights. There is another clause of your letter which I must not pass over unnoticed. You say " If the Southern States desire peace they can have it, but they cannot maiut tin it by armed violence, which will surely boget armsd opposition." We do desire peace, but we ire not willing to purchase it nt the sacrifice >f our manhood; and threats of coercion will not frighten us into quiescence. We have seen guilty of no violence?we have armed mraolvcs as it. becomes i\ free people to do when their liberties are endangered, and liavo prepared to weloomo all invaders in s'rict ao :ovdanoo with thoiulvicc of n Northern st-.tpsnan?with bloody hand* to hospitable graves. S'o collision will lul<o place unices you bring t about, but you must dismiss from your nindu tho idea of holding forts upon our toritory, or collecting rovenun olF our sea ports. ?ooco or war is entirely at your option. We lave no demands to mnke-*-wo pr< pose no inerferenco with your rights, and no curtailncnt of your privileges, unk*> you esteem it \ privilege to rob and enslave us, but wo laiiu thfl right of deciding for ourselves irhat auiQunts to hostilities on your part, and vill act accordingly. It pains mo to observe in the whole tone of your letter a f-pirit of fault-finding, which is it bad nupury foi tlic future. You seem to tftink that you have something to complain of. You overlook the wrougs and outrages ot' which you have hecu guilty, and murmur at our preparations fur defence. It is the wolf charging the lamh with muddying the Htream when it was drinking helow him.

The most alarming and dangerous symp' toms of the times is the bold aud unblushing determination of the Black Republicans to corrupt, demorali/.o and debauch the slaveholding provinces of the Northern Republic. The batteries wlxich have been opi ned up- ' on slavery in Maryland, Kentucky and Mis- j eouri were not masked for a single moment at tor iiinconl's inauguration. The immensepatronage of the (joverninent is to bo employed 1 to sap the foundation of the institution of slavery. The prejudices, public opinion and wishes of the "concjucred provinces' have already been scornfully trampled upon in the selection of those who are to till the highest I offices within the gift of the present Aduiintration. 'J he" border slave States" will be allowed tio voice in the distribution even of the local offices which are to be Idled by Lincoln and his Cabinet. Men whoso opinions are loathed and abhoircd by the pe( ,>ic of the , States in which they reside have already been singled out by Lincoln for the best ollices of i the country. The submission ol" Maryland, ] Kentucky and Missouri has not softened the! fate of those unhappy States.

There exists in the States of Missouri, 1 ... I Kentucky and Maryland, certain localities where Black Republicanism exists in a sickly and unhealthy condition. Whilst the States in question are sound, these localities are. disI eased. The pro slavery sentiment of the States in question has never been t:;intcd by 1 these, ulcers. St. Louis, in Missouri, is one of these plague-spots ; the (fistriet of Cassius M. Clay, of Kentucky, is another; a portion of Baltimore is similarly afllicted, and l'an Handle, of Virginia, casts some two thousand Black llcpublican votes.

Socially , and politically, they arc kept in the strictest ami harshest Coventry. They are the small- I pox patients of our legislative bodies, and arc shunned as if they were lepers. There arc [ such men in Virginia as there arc in nearly ' all of the border States. These political lepers, whose touch is eonti'.minatiou, have been clothed inline linen bv I Lincoln. They have boon put over the heads of the true representatives of the States in which they live. Thus Lincoln has outraged Missouri by ta! king out of that Black Republican Sodom, ' St. l.ouis, a noti d emancipationist, Dates, and ! placed him in his Cabinet. As this man was I a candidate for the Presidency boVore the Chi- ! ! cago Convention, and endorsed the platform adopted by that body, his i.pj.ointment was the grestest indignity which could have beeu offered to Missouri. Blair, of Maryland, a bold, fierce, unprincipled Black Republican, a disciple of the j (jri'cloy school, a man who could swallow, I | without winking, the doctrines of Phillips j ' and (ikillings, an obscure fanatic, is entrusted j as Postmaster (Icm ral without the work of defiling and abolitioliizing the postal system of the country.

J III IV IS a cool malignity about this insult to v. slave State which language cannot dcscribo. llcnry Winter Davis, who rose to the surface in Baltimore when the seething cauldron of Know Nothingism boiled over and deluged that city with the most depraved and desperate villains of modern times, is to get a foreign appointment. This Judas's " thirty pieces" are to be paid jn this currency, be- | cause he betrayed his constituouts, turned Black Republican, and when Baltimore had become too hot for the base renegade, he is I sent to cool himself in St. Petersburg. The State of Kentucky has over and over j as.in mobbed, burnt in effigy, repudiated that hold and most rabid of Abolition fanatics, Cassius M. (May. His veady bowie-knife has alone saved him a hundred times from the hands of infuriated mobs. The history of Kentucky for ten years has been one loud, long protest against this man and his doctrines. Vet he is to be sent abroad as an American Minister and to Spain! Wo might go tfn for hours multiplying instances of Lincoln's determination to degrade and dishonor those slave States which have sub- I milted to his rule: but thr? above pvntiir.lr.c: I will sull'ico. It is obvious that ho intends using Virginia, Maryland, Tennessee, Kentucky, &e., fee., ns hot-houses for the growth and cultivation of Abolitionism. The drooping, unhealthy, diseased Klaok Republicanism of the infected districts of those States is to be made strong and vigorous by the profuse expenditures of federal patronngo The policy of the administration is more than foreshadowed by the rewarding of these Abolitionists. It stands forth boldly, clearly and unmistakably revealed. The writing! on the wnll which announces that it in Lincoln's determination to expel sin very from die States which have submitted to his rule, needs no interpreter.
