Mr.. Humphrey could not negotiate
with traitors, but to loyal STATES there
was no rational demand he would deny,
consistent with honor and principle. Let

could address themselves to the subject.
Mr.. Harris, of Va, was for the Union
even now, bleeding and shattered as it
it. The cotton States are gone, but Rep
uplicans, by coming forward like men,
and rendering justice to the South, can
prevent a future rupture, until the border
States, by firm and conciIiatory course,
can adjust with them all pending difficult
ties. This done, the States would return
to the Union, and be on a more perma-
nent basis than ever.

Icy. The moment such war was COM
menced en- the South, his State would
make common cause with the South.
