In letter to the Philadelphia Press, Mr..
Brownlow remarks:
Z There exists dcep scheme to defeat this
Government at the North, and the program
me Of treason is widening and deepening
daily, whilst the leaders at the South are
kent posted in all these movements Of North
cru traitors. These allies Of jeff Davis are
becoming more bold every day, and more
fierce and outspoken in their advocacy of
treason. They have their newspapers in
Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois. Michi-
gan, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Jer-
sey, Delaware, New York, Connecticut, and
other States, penetrating all the various ram
i6cations Of society, and talking out treason,
rank and Infamous. They have grown inso.
lent since the fall elections, and now wage
WAT against the Government in q defiant
tone. And what is strange, the Govern
ment tame)y submits to their hostility. -,
That many Of these papers are in the pay of
the Southern Confederacy, have no doubt,
and hence the game of treason is deep one,
well played out The Louisville papers
speak of the arrest of man in that city, by
Gen. Boyle, who had in his possession s 1856.

loyal persons in Augusta, Georgia, who had
employed him to bring it North and deposit

New York, Noy. 14,-The Tribune has

We are credibly informed that clandestne

head traitors at Richmond, looking to re.

First-ths States now in rebellion are to
elect members to the present Congress, who
are to present themselves at Washington,
and claim seats in said Congress. ON or be-
fore the LIST day Of January next.
Second--The House being SO filled, will
at once have conjoint conservative and rebel
majority, who will proceed to notify the
President that the rebellion is substantially
ended--that the rebel States are, all duly,
represented in the House-that consequent
" his proclamation of freedom is null and
void, and they are fully under the protection
of The Constitution. ps- ana a.,
Third Congress thus reconstructed is to
proceed forthwith to repeal all acts bearing
hard upon the traitors, of the last two ears
and to pass such others as may be necessary
to secure perfect security and immunity to
them. .,5f-s. t....r.5

aspect Of our finances, which rise or fall as
our armies or navies win or lose; the dark
and defiant brows ofour foreign foes, and,
above all. the VIGOROUSLY weak and weaken

made our whole people of one mind and
heart, that tho opportunity to strike the
