whelming majority ofthe people were
their wishes consulted, when there
were no propositions submitted, and
so far from there being any PROPOSE
tions submitted, it is distinctly stated
by the "Confdential Agents Of the
rebel authorities, in this correspond
ence, that they were not accredited to
the President of the United States
"from Richmond rs bearers of prop
ositions looking to the e-estsblish-
ment Of peace" Now if Glessner had
read this correspondence in which 'ev-
cry man woman and child in the coun-
try il Interested he would not have
made the representations he did, of
its content. We repeat, that after rea-
ding the correspondence, he could not
as truthful man have made the rep
reservations he did of its contents -
But on the contrary, fit be admitted
that Glessner had read that cores
pondence, then he is guilty ofmaking
a false representation of its contents,
and can be looked upon only as will
ful liar. The only way we see for
him to escape this charge, is to admit
his ignorance of the correspondence.
