Spirit Of the Msrnins Press

The IstsHigsnesr quotes from the Richmond

ing that the very men who are now loudest In

which the South will experience In this war, from
Their want Of blankets, salt, coal, pork and corn,

DEAR SIR:-When Virginia proposed Con.

another effort to debauch the public mind, and
step towards obtaining that concession which
the imperious Slave Power so nsoiently demands

sign was therefore pleased that the Legisia-
ture Of Michigan was not disposed to put herself
in position to be controlled by such influences.
The Convention has met here, and within a
few days the aspect of things has materially
changed. Every Free State, | think, except
Michigan and Wisconsin is represented-and We
have been assured by friends upon whom We can
rely, that il those two States should send deleca-
tons of true, uufinching men, there would prob
ably be majority in favor of the Constitution
as il is-who would frown down rebellion by the
enforcement Of laws These friends have urged
US to recommend the appointment of delegates
from our State, and in compliance with their re-
quest Mr.. Chandler and myself telegraphcd TO
you last night. Ii cannot be doubted that the
recommendations of this Convention will have a
very considerable influence upon the public
mind, and upon the action Of Congress.

avert the lasting disgrace which viii attach TO a
free people, who by the peaceful exercise of the
