NORTHERN TREASON.

THE Corcord u. H. Demorat has received
G.om Cant. Vim. II. Gibbs, of the 18th Illinois,
now at Natchez. Miss. letter from EXPIRES
idcnt Pierce TO Mr.. JEFF Davis, written in Jan.
mary. 1850. and found among the papers Of the
latter ~ Jackson. II is a valuable contribution
to the history Of the Rebellion, and, though
nobody will be surprised that Mr.. Pierce should
have written if, its publication will be a sore
perplcxityto those who insist that the Abolition
/ lists were the instigators Of the Rebellion tina,
il was not prcmedtatcd by Southern politicians,
and that their plans were not known and ap.
proved of by thcr Northern associates. 1t proves
two things conclusiycly, if anybody still doubts,
that the question of Secession was the sub
jet Of discussion between Northern and
and Southern Democratic leaders as long ago as
January, 1860; and that the proposed Secs
sioniStS received assurances from their Northern
sympathi2ers that the Rebellion at the South
would be aided and enforced by Northern trail
tors in arms against the Government and the
loyal people of the North. We doubt if ,|eil.
Davis ever received from the most rampant OF
his Southern fellow-conspirators more unequlv-
Deal assurances OF sympathy and aid than
Franklin Pierce gives him in this letter. II Is
an evidence of prcmeditatcd treason which no
words can explain away or excuse. Let loyal
Democrats read herein the character of the men
to whose guidance they 80 long suhmittcd
