The Richmond Wing, Of the 5th ult., con.
tsins an address "To the Free and Independ.
enL Citizens OF the Confederate States" by
Henry s. Footo, ex-senator of the United
States, the identical Foote who once proposed
to hang John P. Hale as high as Hsmau.
Footc is now member of the rebel Congress
from Tennessee. In the address referred TO he
appeals 10 rebels eueryohsrs 10 hold out isatR Nc
C'sHu, Is elected upon ne Chicago platform,

GERS of the Government Of the United States as
"enormous traitors and murderers," and as-
sureS the deludod people of the South that
Mcclellan aud Pendleton, II elected, will bring
them 10 trial for their efforts 10 put down this
wicked aud God-dcfying rebellion. On this
point Foote Saysi
| "J KeClclldn aud PsndlstOH are elected, out.
rdgcd aud Indignant public sentiment pLl demand

ofthe enormous traitors and uiurderers Bho are
responsible before God and man for all the abonl
itdbls crimes and miSehiefs phich this unpdrdon-
able t0dr has produced, and they pH, nioa ndiu-
rally, ain 10 evads The mt'iaeed punistmsnt."
Foote thinks that any proposition for peace,
oven requiring an armlstlce, coming from Mr..
Lincoln should be accepted. On that subject,
Foote says:
81 hold II TO be certain that should we give a
negative to such proposition altogether, we
should most fatally play into the hands of our
adyersaries, enable the black Republican lead
ers TO relnfame the war spirit Of the North,
and bring about Me certain defeat Of The peace
party there, nor struggling so edrnsaty for he as
| cendsncy."
Speaking of the Chicago platform, Foote is
clear as bell. We call the especial attention
OF Mcclellan War Democrats to what he says.
