where Democracy used count s majoritles by the
hundreds, but where now we give 20 majority for the
Republicans there Are near 50 copies Of THE TRIBUNE
taken. There are not less than 300 copies of TIRE
TRIBu NJ taken N the county
We want no compromise here--whether Critten den,
Border States Kelloggbut the Constitution az Is,
and the Urion with or without the Cotton Shareholders

The only Peace Conference that we want is the one
now assembled ia Washington under command Of Gen.
Scott, Artillery flying sold that can take the breath

A prominent gentleman in THE State told me- on
unque-,onable authority, reminscenoe Of the days of

who sympaihizcd with the nuliifes In 1892 called
upon Gen. Jackson TO learn, If possible, what the
General intended to do toward crushing Calhouns
conspiracy againtt the Union. The Governor opened
the ,ul5ect mildly, and jackson only answered by
telling Letcher 10 road certain instrument Of writing
on the table before them. Letcher read IT, and found

yised Mr.. Calhoun after he left Gen. Jackson and
awakening him mp out of his sleep related to him his

Your proposition to buy up all the slaves in the Bor
der States and colonize them in Africa Central Amer
CA. or Cuba, &c. meets with universal commentator.
Ths is the only plausible solution of the question and
one which win place the Border States on the high
road to glorious future. Let Mason, Hunter, and
Wise secede from Virginia, and che win become one Of
the garden States of the Union, when free compensated
labor prevails throughout her borders so with noble
old Kentucky. She is worthy Of better fate than
dangling 10 the tail Of South Carolina. We want Mis-
souri North Carolina and Tennessee too, and as for
the rest Of the Slave States they not worth one drop
Of blood. Lot them depart in peace. Let them hud-
die together with their negroes and victory be given to
the strongest without regard to color. A.B.A.
