Let as hear Mr.. Trsseott on this 8abisct:
Il am writing at this moment ansng the hills
at the fost of The Bius Ridge, in the midst of E
ssetoa Of cosDtry where there are 10 great pro-
pristors-no slave aFistoeTsey' 70 use faY6fiso
Northern word. i is inhabited BY hardy, in
telligent, industrious population, Hhess sons ara
bTeBghs Ep 30 the plough, and whose daughters
are reared at the spinning Wbeel-an earnest,
religious sober peepls, who took but little part
in the poliiical coRtIOvsrzies Of tbs State, and
synpaihized rather vita ihs cd HatieHal De-
moeEacy than any other Bsriy IL he country.
Sprung mostly from that old Scottish PTesby-
teriaa revolutionary stock which gave SO many
sturdy settlers 10 Virginia and ths-Carohaas,
they had traditional love foE the Union. With
ambition bogudsd bY heir hills, aad wsuts
SIMPLY sAsisfsd 10 Their valleys, they were Te-
miaded of tbe existence Of Hat1Bsl Govern
NEST only By she periodical election OF their
members Of Congress-, II ever tlere was fair
sUbjeet for Yeur iest, acre il WEs Ths war
cana and has tested them. From Manassas 10
Frsderickst ufZ, the heroic regiments recruited
from these homes have proved what she people
Of the South understand By their love Of The
Unien. / think | snl within truthful iimits
when say that within q circle Of twenty miles
fiom this place there is not one house in ten ous
OF which some member has not proved bis tTuih
by desihsT wounds, and to-day tho spirit is as
strong the resolution as firm, hs il was in tie ]
beginning"
When once it vas discovered shas this class. ;
ths smallest farmers Wbs foTm tie bulk Of The 4
Southern people, were as heartily and vehement /
y ssesssiezisiE g. tho richest and pT0u5es ofths
planting families, the koBslessDsss of the Nor.h.
sTn enterprise wss evident Rsunisn was plainly /
= moral imPessibilisy; conquest must always
have seemed to ali men capable Of TeaseBiEe, q /
physical impossisiity. So utterly absurd and
Hrssioasl does the continuance Of the war seea
after this revelation, which has fer eighteen
months past stared the Nerihern Invaders 10 the
face thai ths5e who give the North credit for
sanity sre soTsiY PUzsie9 70 say ter what prso6
esl eRs il is still lighting.
Mr.. TTesc0ts srpPoses shat it--Or, o. least, kEr.
ssHsTd-esntinusa the struggle In order % ob-
tain the night tc hx ths conditions Of It's lsrmi-
aaii8n; in other words the future boundaries
Of the rival ConfedeTseics. As be remarks
by fundamental change Ia the Constitution to
determine these boundaries otherwise than By
the pleasure Of Fhs several States. When the
pressure OF war is removed, how car Kentucky,
Maryland, OF Missouri, be forced to remain u
anion with the NcTth, against the viii Of her
sWB citizens They esR abstain from sendiEg
delegates % Congress. They can refuse to lihe
part in the election Of q President They can,
step BY step, take their State cut Of the Union,
snd the process can only be stopped By 3 re-
newsl Of civil wal. ii
We do not think that It is foT the advantage so
insecure ard 50 liitle valuable as the alisgianee
# reluctant States, that Hr. Seward weuld
