LETTER FROM BOSTON,

Dear Journal—

No doubt many of the readers of the Joun-
i take a warn interest in the contest which
‘is now going on in thie great country, In the
| hope that the little light Lean throw on this
}and other matters of interest will be of some
service in helping them to form some idea of
the actual state of affairs, ‘‘as it strikes a
stranger,” I send you the following as ny own
impressions with respect to the opinions of
other people, It would be a work of supex-
oragation on my part to attempt to givea
description of this city, which is already rich
in historic lore, and which was the scenery of
|inost of the stirring events in connection with
| the Revolution. ‘This has been done in pre-
vious numbers of the Journat, by others bet-
ter versed in American history than your
