here, u would have seemed . forgery and hum
bug, but its subsequent false Embellishments q
rebel Affairs stamp II genuine.
And what does Il mean II means that JErP
DAVIS & Co. are about 10 abandon the half
loyal border states Of Virginia, North Cnolins,
Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri, ADD Arkansas,
and TO concentrate themselves for a more dss-
perats defence within smaller territory. I. IL
intended that Cottondom proper shall consist
Of the saveu cotton states, which rest upon IN
Gulf coast, and the interests Of which are
Identical beyond shadow OF doubt. The in
concealed bitterness with which their leaders
have Of late referred TO Union senti nsnts in
North Carolina, Virginia and Ter nessse, and
the general opprobiur thrown upon tse border
state troops by those of the extrene South, at
test the fact that the rebels are weary Of fight
ins on territory in which there is a vision Of
public opinion, and where local prejudices deny
them that full and hearty support which their
cause requires.
we had better" says DAVIS, achieve ths
independence Of the cotton states, and take
from ncxico the addition al space which W
want, than TO grasp 1t 40 much dissfectsd ter
ritcry, and lose ALL Ills party urges, also,
that he slaveholders, with their property, win
lock to the South whom this plan is promuL
ra,ci, and concentrate on a small territory that
large population and strong government, which
wouli he small and powsrless when scattered
over large one; and that the North will asssnt
to the independence Of few s'',os, while IL
will fight Justify over the present large reduc-
| ton Of the Union.
This is all excellent logic, but irconclusive--
very. Til, power that can drive the rebels
within the borders Of tho Cult States can thers
maintain its constitution and laws, or people
those States with loyal CT liens who will. The
cotton States tco, will hardly dare a conflict.
