THE PLAN CONFESsED.-The following extract
from private letter published conspicuously in the
Charleston Mercury, shows upOr what the Seces
sionists place their reliance. They openly avow
desire that the Black Republicans shall not give way,
and that the Peace Conference shall fail There is
dcmonlac spirit in all this
"WASHINGTnN, Feb 4, 1S61.-The reconstruc-
! tionsts are caving in on all sides. But Seward is
going to back square down $50 | hear from good
authority The border States will be "placated"
and then your reconstructonists will begin bowling
for the Union again. There's the danger. The only
hope now is in the smashing up of the Peace Con-
gress, and getting Virginia out. Seward is afraid
to back fast enough to stop the revolution, and that
may help us. Besides, it seems to me that Proyid-
ence has been working for us hitherto and my trust
is that the good work will go on. The article in the
London Times will aid u.s.
The UNIoN.-Our temperament may be too san
guine but at the present time it is very consoling
We firmly and honestly believe that the Union will
be preserved and peace and prosperity restored
Everywhere from the North comes up the spirit of
compromise and concession; and Maryland, Virginia,
| North Carolina, Kentucky, Missouri and Tennessee,
stand as a wall between the opposing extremes
The precipitatonistS, too, finding fact and fancy
two different things. The people have no special
predictions for high taxes and whzzng bullets !;
and, thank God, there are more people than specu-
| latng politicians.
