thoughts and feelings in view of the good Southern lady's letter. I
came near, once or twice, abandoning some of my long-cherished
principles, under the influence of the letter and of the reflections to
which it gave rise. But I have been enabled to retain my integrity. I am
sorry to say that the letter has made me some trouble through its effect
on my wife, to whom, incautiously, I read it. Very soon after I began to
read, I perceived that some natural drops were finding their way down
her tear-passage, leading her to a frequent use of the handkerchief. By
this means she interrupted me, I should say, six or eight times, during
the reading, and as soon as I had finished she rose and left the room.
I remained, and wrote a large part of the accompanying reflections, and,
near midnight, on repairing to my room, I found that Mrs. North was
asleep. She waked me in the morning by asking me if I was asleep. I told
her that I would gladly listen to what she had to say. She said, "Will
you not please, my dear, stop the ----, and the ----," (naming two
newspapers,) "and take others?"
"Why," said I, "what is the matter with them?"
She began to weep again. In a few moments she said, "I would give the
world if I could have a conversation with that Southern lady."

attachment to the principles of liberty."
"Liberty!" said she. "Oh, how foolish I have been! I see now that there
is another side to that question."
"I hope, my dear," said I, "that you will say and do nothing to occasion
any reproach. Certainly, there are two sides to every question. If you
manifest any surprise at finding that there is another side to the
Liberty question, I fear that some will quote to you the fable of the
mouse who was born in a meal-chest."
"I never heard of it," said she.
"Why," said I, "the mouse one day stole up to the edge of the chest,
when the cover had been left open, and, looking round on the
barn-chamber, she said, 'Dear me
