popularity of JEFFERsoS, he would be defeated unless
Providence should intervene in his favor.
In the place, there is thing in his letter

He saws that the Union must be preserved, and the

they may be when they come back or

the General Government, whenever their citizens
come back, it IS we'll enough. We that
any consierlbl. numoer of persons propose anything
to the contrary. But General MCCLELLAN's m saning
is very plain lie malns the Constitutional rights OF
slavery. That IS ptlplbie. He mans that South
