made out to be human beings clinging to them. At

Proposed Convention of the border States.

The Louisville Journal, after candid and impartial
review Of the present political crisis suggests that Con-
yenton of the Central States Of the Unon on the basis
of the Constitution interpreted by the Supreme Court
in its formal decisions be held in Louisville on the 22d
of February next Virginia, Missouri, Kentucky, Ten
nessee, Maryland Delaware New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
Ohio Indiana and Illinois the Central States referred
to- These eleven States says the Journal linked togeth-
err more or less closely in destiny as in position, cons
tate the real Keystone of the Arch Of the Unon and it
is equally their duty and their interest to lead oil in some
intelligent effort to bring order out Of the present chaos
of our political affairs.
We cordially second~he motion of the Journal for a
Convention Of the BOrdsr States. 1t is our impression
that in the event of the present Union being dissolved
il is the destiny Of the Border States North and South
to constitute great Central Conederacy, freed from the
Abolition fanaticism of New England and the restless
Cottonism Of the Gulf.
