THE WEST AVN TIE EAST.

West and describing the state Of publi
q lopnion there says:
, "N encountered some conservatives,
lrOiessed Republicans as well as Demo,
, Gratis, who ae much dissatisfied with lh
, present state of national affairs, that the
make no secret Of an inclination in favor
: Of the establishment Of still another con,
Ifederacg, which shall embrace the State
OF the NorIhwestand the Mississippi Val
ley-in case the war is not closed out by
next spring They claim that the recent
, elections were carried in this interest, auC
that the newly elected State officers and
Legislatures are subservient to it,"
The correspondent continues to say thai
this idea is cherished and believed in by 9
large body Of western men, who think
they see great advantages to the Moth
western interests in q severance of their
connection with the Eastern States and
the forming Of an alliance with the Gulf
States
The Boston Courier corrohoratos this view
OF the public opinion of the West, and
[ quotes in proof letter recently received
from Boston gentleman in the west, who
writes, that in daily conversation with all
classes Of people in one OF the chief cities
OF the West, the tone Of remark is:
"lhat the philanlhropic sentiment Of
/ the East Is all cunt; that the attempt is
now being mace by the East TO change
the purpose Of the war, from q war for
the preservation of the government to a
war to put down slavery knowing it will
proIong it, viii nCreace the eXpeuces, to
the great injury of the West, and make a
continuance o. government contracts Cer-
tam. Iney say .hat while the West has
furnished an ovcr,suppiy Of volunteers,
Massachusetts with All her brag and all
her determination and desire 10 fight, has
not sent her quota; while, according to
her press every man talks as though be
would rather 60 than not. In fact, the
Vests cross and ii they have the politi-
col power, New England must expect 30
De crowded horl for the next few years,
The East iHsinctively recognizes this
growing aversion OF the West, and the alb
o.tiOn.s,s, who nave from .he beginning
contemplated dsunion, are the first TO
recognize it. Wendell Philips, in an ad
dress delivered before the election, admits
ted that the Nesy was now preparing To- %
with the South. One could hear talk D!
