The fact that the ConfederAtes are drawing
their troops from all quarters to the north
part Of Mississippi and Alabama, where they
intend to fall in overwhelming force upon the
Union advance under Gems. Grant and Buell.,
is now palpable. Whether Beauregard is or Is
not their best leader, he has prestige &c.

roted in the affirmative. Mr.. Cowan of Penn

We regret TO say, was the case also with Mr.

10 see il. All the New England States and nj
the Free States west of Pennsy lvano (say'
those on the Pacifc) voted solid for the Presi
dents proposition; but the affirmative vote
from Virginia, Kentucky, and Missouri are
most precious of all. Delaware and Maryland
went the other way, because their Senator

MR. SENATOR-It pleased you, IN max

Importance | sha hope that a Ike Impression

Others Ike you, would have reason to rue il.
Let us consider

YOU appear anxious not TO recognize, "a this

DO you doubt this Note how rigidly it i.

even there is most formidable in tho great

you cannot fail TO see tbat Treason is or has

ia weakest.

Con,ider that in this election the Democrats
of tho Western Counties had to vote Tor q
lifelong and ardent Wing in order to testify
their devotion to the Union, while the wings
of the old Wing strongholds in the lower couIi-
tea voted for a we-known Democrat in order
to evince their sympathy with Secession ana
this vote becomes doubly impressive.
Mr.. Davis, you are in Washington, city OF
whose inhabitants several hundreds are slave
holders. They are not generally obscure peo-
pie. but persons who own houses, give parties,
and are known in society. Of course, some OF
them are loyal, but how many Are one IN
TEN Be entreated to make inquiries, and you
will be satisfied that, with the exception OF
those whose connection with Slavery is acct
dental or but nominal, the mass of them are
to-day liege subjects of JEFF. Davis, and mourn
ING over his darkened prospects, his rapidly
contracting empire. Go to Baltimore, and you
will find the negroless majority hearty devotee'
Of the Union, while the great body OF the
aristocratic, narrowing minority are thrown
into spasms by display of the American nag
So it is everywhere, the exceptions rather
proving than contradctiDg the rule.
