precfpitated the Southern States into rebel
lion, are aiming to carry it through by the
Eame system Of secret plotting in the North,
by which they perverted and demosalized the
South. Davis has secret, active, uusc1upulous
agents in the North, and particularly III this
city, who nre coVeTtly schemfng to arrest the
war in its early stages and bring about an i'm
