States that Maury speaks of, who are
to aid the Southern Confederacy.
1t viii be remembered that Bragg re
treated from Kentucky in October last; j;
that shortly afterward jeff Davis visited
his southern dominions, which continued
to beyond Christmas last; that he visited
Bragg at his headquarters, where he re
NAMED several days, and went from
thence to jackson, the capital of Missis-
sippi, where he addressed the Legislature
of that State on the 2lst December, 1862;
that notwithstanding Bragg had been
driven out. cf Kentucky by Northwestern
troops, and the State protected from the
ravages of the rebel army by Northwest
ern men, Davis said in his speech to the
Legislature of Mississippi that the frst
ray of hope and first CLEAN of light that
would burst upon the Southern Confede-
racy would be from the Northwest. From
the way the Northwest had poured out
her life blood to expel Bragg from Ken
tucky, no inference to justify Davis pre-
diction TO the Mississippians could be
fairly drawn. On the contrary, every
thing ostensible was against such an in
ference. But he had information from
Gen. Bragg that did warrant his predic-
ton, and in a very few days after Davis
made his prophecy a movement to tie
the hands of the United States Govern
ment by withholding men and money for
the further prosecution of the war against
the rebels was commenced simultaneous
" by Harvey, Wolf Is Co, in Kentucky;
Voorhees,, Hendricks & Co. in Indiana;
Vallandigham, Pendleton & Co. in Ohio;
Richardson, Story & Co. in Illinois.
That these men, at distant points from
each other, should all commence to Grip
pie the Government and aid the rebellion
by precisely the same means and line of
action, without concerted plan in full
fllment Of Davis prophecy, and in the
very place pointed out by him, and
amongst the people addressed by Bragg,
is very singular, to say the least of it;
and to men who are capable of connect
ing facts and drawing legitimate infer
ences, has the appearance ola moral GER
tainty that there was conspiracy to aid
the rebellion by detaching the State of
Kentucky and the orthwestern States
from the United States; that the poten-
tial political instruments through which
these States and people were to be au-
thoritatively bound, was to be the con-
vention to be called to meet at Louis
vile, under the auspices of the Kentucky
Legislature That the whole plan was
arranged by Bragg and his emissaries
while he was in Kentucky, is a conclu-
sion that is irresistible. The foregoing
facts are the most prominentin the argu-
ment, but there are others scarcely less
conclusive, leaning to the same result

ance to the authorities of the United
States, while leagues in Ohio, Indiana,
and Iowa were formed to oppose, by pur
suasion, fraud or force the execution of
the laws, the internal revenue and con-
scription acts; to encourage desertion
from the Federal army, to prevent de-
serters from being arrested and return
ed to their commands, and by every
means fair or foul to thwart the national
authority. f 1860
The Legislatures of Indiana and Hi
nois were filed with men in the interest
of these schemers, who tried by the most
violent and illegal methods to prevent
the lovaI executive officers from fulfill
ing their duties to the nation Conven-
tons of men calling themselves Demo
Gratis assembled at Springfield and indi-
annapolis armed to the teeth, threatening
vengeance against the officers of the
United States, without provoeation fred
upon United States soldiers, and in con-
vention published resolution of the most
incendary character, pledging them
| selves to withhold men and money for
the prosecution of the war against the
rebels, and with the vilest epithets of obi
um denounced the United States, the
war as unnecessary, unconstitutional,
and cruel against their Southern breth
rem. Succeeding the meetings ebulli
tions of violence manifested themselve:
almost simultaneously throughout the
Northwest. The prognostics of Davi:
were certainly being fulfilled. 1t is in
comprehensive how any loyal lover o
his country can be deceived by these
thinly.disguised rascals

other class of facts leading to the SAM
conclusion. Your correspondent of tn
