w. You see no evidence that the South would b,
satisfied with Crenden's plan, and call on me FOR my
proof I cen only answer, First: That all the ne vs.
paper accounts Of the proceedings in the Senate Com
nit,co OF Thirteen when that plan was rejected BY the
votes Of all the Republicans, and Of Messrs Davis and
Toombs, united in saying that those gentlemen nti-
mated that they would accept it If tie Republican,;
would offer it in good faith. Secondly. THAI my own
conversation with number Of the most vehement and
extreme Of the Southern leaders at Washington mako
krow that they and their friends in Congress would
have accepted it if the Republicans would have COM
sented to it, and made therefore believe that they
would at do 20. Thirdly That all the border States
would seleyidentiy, accept IT, and all the less violent
part Of the people in the cotton States, and therefore
that it would avail TO save the Union And Foartlly:
That you have right TO say that they would not se-
cert it, till you that is to ray, your people in Con4sess)
have TRIED. Sir ii rould be accepted; il would save
the Union aud believe It would be ratified by ma
orty Of your party well by all of our on dig
tinct popular vote.
V. IN regard to "coercion" of the revolution whom
you shall become at last convinced that il revolu-
ton, you agree to psaceaJe separation in preference to
1ar. 60 far We concur; and in this you wiser,
well as more hunane than most of those OF your pfy
whom read in the papers and hear in the streeis.
But you say il must be after tranquil vote to yons

assent by the remaining Well when the reyolG-
