ccrc desire for such action rs may he
best calculated 90 tu!iy rGstore the re-,
lations Of the Southern States to the
General Government. The liea seems
to be, that so long as The executive

ded, in opinion, The South must remain
unrtprcscutcd in CosgrcSs hencc the
effort is to effect some arrangement to
accommodate the differences between
them. According to current rcprcscn~
tations, the Present lends willing ear
TO all suggestions in that direction,
but, so far, nothing definite has been
consummatcd.
