already referred to. Plainly stated, the VIZ ter pro-
poses to stake of many of our Southern States as
will accommodate loo coo slaves and such whites
as believe in saveholdrg surrenderng these States to
this population and diisolving al connection with
them. VIII the whites Of Virginia, Kentucky and

States in compliance with this modes proposal Every
thinking man knows this will never be done. Ii disso-

North is to detach Delaware and Mary land from the
South. Even this is doubtful. Then what would fol-
