THE NORTHWEST.

| To the Editor Of the Whg: +Hs~
Most heartily concurrng in the concliatory policy which
you advocate towards the Northwestern States, have
read the structures of the Enquirer with much surprise
It is certain that the condition of things in that region,
invites policy which sagacious and fOreseeng
statesmen would not have waited for an invitation to
naugurate and that no shoulduow be left uneu
ployed to strengthen and encourage the friendly feel
ing that people have manifested for u.s.
IL happens that during the last year I have spent
much time amongst the people of that section, aud
have therefore, had opportunities Of ascertaning their
political views. They decidedly those Of sympathy
nth the South. Their commercial interests are almost
identical with ours Their trade seeks the same mArs
and the outlets Selfnterest h the mighty leserby
which the destiny Of this people Is to be shaped In crisis
momentous the present. the property -hoders-al-
ways keensghIed discover the line OF interestare
sufficiently numerous and influential 70 control the
poblic action. IT. then, they openly manifest desire
TO unite their political fortunes with'ours it is not only
impoltc but cruel and unnatural to meet their over
lures with cOntumely and scOrn. Why point to their
armies in the field argument for repeling their
proposed fellowship? Their armies for the most part
are composed of the worthless and abandouedOf the
yest OF their German and Irish emigrants-of those
who took up because they had nothing else to DO
and as means of procuring the necessaries of life.
The change in public sentiment which the action of
the yankee G, v,rnment has effected in that gon within
the last isunapprecated in the South The charm
that once hung around the Of Union" Is disSolv
ed. The tyranny of the admnistration-its brutality
its usurpations Of power-the negro-regment bil-the
dabolical purposes of the war, openly aroused
and above ALL the conviction that the Union is hopeless
gone while the South is daily furnishing evidence to the
world that she is nvincible-these causes combined
have created dsafection amongst these who con-
tibuted TO the election of Lincoln Now then is the
time for our COnsress-n the Confederate Government
TO meet the overtures Of the Northwestern States with
wise forecast--prcmpdy, cordially and effectually.

ton as follows;
Whereas The motive power various railroads in
