il'e New York Herald, one of the

says:

South to meet on. The point upon

South contributed to the common

noble argument that will gfe em

against England,France and.-pasi."
On the 10th of January, the same
project was broached in the Yankee
ltHouse of Representatives by bMr.

the, following preposition: "That if
,e!i Southern States will return to
the Union, the Northern States cr
pt.ople will, in turn, recognize by
r Coi.tituticuai' amendment the sove:
,eignty and independence of the

a motion in Congress, but the -same
propotition is understood to have
