The Federal troops. 1t is however, impossible to deny
that no where the seeded States is encouragement

Union sentiment at the points occupied by the Union
army sus ain the hopes manifested by the Federal Gov
ernment on that subject
The delay assigned for the resistance of the South
bas in reality elapsed without its having been sensby
weakened. Ia all probability it must be expected that
the season On which enterlng-more IA
vorabe to attack than for defente will still postpone
the end Of he struggle. Ia consideration of the endless

QueHt threupon you Will understand the constant flas

We do not wish to assume any other attitude than
that which we have hitherto maintained bat, in as

may also say that earnestly desire that the minds Of
the people in the UGted States should be opened to
ideas OF Cancellation, which, in estimation, are be-

However persuaded We may be that on such step
new and cruel sacrifices would thereby be spared to the
United States and that foregn complications, una
voidably produced BY excess OF suffering would be
done away with, will not however depart from the
reverse we have always observed in taking the na-
tive Of direct advice. You only authorized to
