It being desirable to obtain Make and keys of a new
construction. and invented expressly for the exclusive
use of the United Staten mail., no model is prescribed
for bidders, the Department relying for its remotion on
the - results of mechanical skill and ingenuity which a
fair competition, now invited, May produce. It fit
deemed necessary only to state that a mail look should
he eelf-looking, and that its other principal requisites
are uniformity. security. lightness, strength, durability,
novelty of construction, and facility of use.
Two kinds of mail look. and keys—one of brass and
the other of iron—different in form and construction.
are required; and proposals should specify, separately.
the price of each iron look, each key for same, each
brave lock, and each brass key for same.
Duplicate samples or patterns of each kind of loin(
proposed are required to be submitted with the Provo
eats one of each kind of sample looks to be riveted up
and finished, and another to be open or unriveted. so
that its internal structure may easily, be examined.
Every sample must be plainly marked with the bidder'.
name.
The looks offered elmaild not be Wonted, nor should
their internal construction be otherwise publicly known,
or be similar to any looks heretofore used ; and th 4 l
must be warranted not. in any way, to infringe or in
terfere with any patented invention.
The various sample looks presented by bidders will
be submitted to a board of examiners. to be commis
eioned by the Postmaster General, for the purpose of
examining and reporting on them • and unless the
Postmaster General shall deem it to be for the interest
of the Department to reject all the proposals and spool

will, upon the report of the examiners, be entered into.
as soon as practicable, with the snosesefal bldg. rorhose
looks are adopted. for furnishing similar lucks and keys
for four yearn,
as they may he required and ordered.
with the right, on the part of the Postmaster General
for the time being, to extend and continue the contract
in force for an additional term of four years, on giving
notice, in writing, to the contractor not less than six
months before the termination of the first term of tour
years; or at the expiration of the first term of four
years, to contract with any other party for furniehing
similar or different rooks and keys, me the Postmaster
General may determine.
The contractor must agree and be able to furnish, if
required and ordered, 6,000 brass looks end 6_,000 brain
keys. within three months from the time of entering
into contract, and 30.0(0 iron lock. and ao Miran keys.
within eight months from such time. But the Post
master General will reserve the right to increase or di

AII the look's furnished by the contractor must be
warranted to keep in good working order for two years.
in the
.ordinary nee of the serve, when net enteeoted
to obvious violence ; each es become defective during
that time, to be replaced with perfect locks without

The contractor will be required to deliver the looks,
at his own expense, at the Post Office Department,.
Washington. D. C., rt up on sticks, forming separate
bundles of five 100 each, and securely packed in
wooden boxes containing not more than two hundred'
looks each. The keys are to be cielivered to au ascot
of the Department. duly and specially authorized in
each case, to take oh srge of and convey tne same from
the eontraotor's factory to the Department, where both
looks and keys are to be inspected and approved before
they shall be paid for.
The contreotor will be required to give bond, with
ample security, in the sum of twenty-five thousand
dollen, for the faithful periormanoe of the contract on
his part, both as to furnishing the munches ordered, and
guarding the manufacturing of the mail looks and keys
with due privacy, integrity and mire. No proposal will
therefore be considered, if not aocompamed with a
written guarantee from the, proposed sureties (whose
responsibility mot be, certified by the Postmaster at
the place of their residence) that they will become
responsible, on the realized bond. for the fulfilment of
the contract by the bidder, in case such proposals be
accepted.
In deciding on the proposals and specimens, the Post
master General may deem it expedient to Nokia the
braes look of one bidder and the iron lock of another.
He therefore reserves the right of contracting with
different individuals for such different kinds of locks as
he may select.
Proposals should be carefully sealed, addressed to the
Postmaster General, and endorsed on the enveloire,

very time Lady Blessington was forty-seven.
Six years later (in 1840) Mr. Willis addressed
some verses to her, in which he spoke of her

Men murmur when that shape is seen,
My youth's angelic dream was of that form and
Wen.—
At this period, the lady so landed for her
angelic beauty and sylph-like shape, was a
stout, panic dame of fifty-three Like Queen
Elizabeth, she liked those who praised her
personal charms after her May of life had
faded into the sere, the yellow leaf. No flat
tery was too strong for her.
In her Biography, published in 1855, from
the pen of her friend and countryman, Dr. R.
R. Madden, will be found a great number of
letters to and from her. They are crammed
with what Sam Slick calls soft sawder. The
understanding seemed to be that, long after
youth and beauty had fled, her male friends
were to compliment her on the unchallenged
possession of both. How warmly she reci
procated ! How she returned praise for praise !
Dr. Madden, who wrote her Life, knew her
for thirty years. His friendship would have
best been evinced by alloWing her memory to
rest undisturbed. For, though he professed
to relate only the Incidents of her literary

degree, affords matter and informs o ler the
lovers of scan. ma g . The object was to ex
hibit a literary lady, long cc the observed Of
all observers " in London, but he also showed
her as a fashionable derairep. For nearly
twenty years Lady Blessington was a notice
able woman in London life. Men of all ranks
in society, provided they had talent and popu
larity, were to be met with in her house;
their wives, daughters, sisters, did not visit
her, because she entered fashionable life with
a doubtful character, which did not improve
as she grew older. Her make visitors cor
responded freely with her, and she was fond
of writing to them—fancying, because she
wrote well-turned sentences, that she was a
second Madame De Sevigni. Her correspon
dence, illustrated as it is by Dr. Madden's
sketches of the writers, is full of interest—
even if it did not contain any scandalous
revelations respecting the lady herself.
No woman—especially no literary woman—is
expected to be candid upon the Duette vexata
of her age. Lady Blessington, it must be
confessed, behaved with great moderation in
this respect. She took oft only, three year,
from her actual age. She used to say that she
was horn in September, 1790, and that she was
only fifteen when she married. But this lat
ter event took place in March, 1804—which, it
her own birth-date were correct, would ahoy
her to have become a wife at the premature
age of thirteen years and a half. The truth*
as the parish register of Knockbrit can show,
she was born in 1787—0 r three years earlier
than her own admission. We have had tbs
certificate of her baptism in our hand, and be-
Bove that rather than her ladyship. What is
more, it seta her down, Irish fashion, as Mar
garet, which appellation she Frenchified into
Marguerite when she became a fine lady and a
blue-stocking.
Margaret Blessington was second daughter
of Mr. Edmund Power, a Tipperary squirm,
who was made a magistrate through Lord
Donoughmore's influence; shortly before the
Rebellion of 1798, and displayed great zeal in
hunting down the unfortunate rebels. His re
ward was—a lett& of thanks from the Irlah
Government. An official appointment was
promised ; but, tired of waiting for it, rower,
who first failed as a corn merchant, set up a
newspaper in Glontnel. Being merely a
whisky-drinking, buckish, sporting man, the
newspaper did not pay expenses. He got into
libels for his noble patron, who lett, him to
pay damages and costa. He was so Improvi
dent that even his daughters' education du
irregularly paid. for. He Was dismissed the
magistracy for misaonduct, (the brutal murder
of tca suspected rebel,") and died poor, a
pensioner on his daughters—a bad man, by all
accounts.
His family led a very scrambling life.
Their lather's convivial habits made his home
the rendezvous of the young military officers
at Olonmel. The Misses Power (Margaret
and Ellen) got into all sorts of flirtations, and,
Dr. Madden admits, were a good deal talked
about In Olonmel, to this day, strange and
scandalous traditions continue current as to
their imprudent conduct. In 1804, being then
a few months over sixteen, Margaret Power

gate of the Jesuit College, Georgetown, the
seat of a by-gone institution of learning, a
convent and a monastery—all somewhat de.
°malt now.
And during this brief pause no one must be

from a ponderous gate, and a formidable wall,
is as matter-of-fact, unromanticdooking a sa
cerdotal, as you can imagine, and is, more
over, just at present, the quarters of a low-
Presbyterian regiment.
The halt was but for a moment. My pass
proving 4‘ all right," the wide gate was flung
open, and I rode in. If the reader has a mind
to, he may follow me.
Wbat did I see?
Did I see a castle yardfull of bold Scotch

shield? Ad I hear the shrill notes of the bag

Walter Scott rise out of the grave, to point
out and instruct me into the mysteries Of ell

Did I see a ghaist ? Did I take a sup of
whisky?
Upon my conscience, the imaginative reader
must expect no such marvels.
I wilt tell you what I saw. In an enclosure,
about four times as large as Logan Square, (I
choose Logan Square purely because it has a
Scotch name,) stretching along the river aide
in an undulating plain, broken only by the col
lege buildings in the centre, my eye first fell
upon about a thousand men, scattered in vari
ous directions. Their occupations were as
various. Some were being drilled by a very
consequential young cadet, fresh from West
Point. Some were marching, in squads, upon
the "rounds." Some, cc off duty," were ea
gerly watching, the grotesque movements of
their co-mates. Some were playing base-ball
In the alley, some lolling near the mess-room,
some idling round the pump, and some mo
ping up and down, solos, before the officers'
quarters. Few were in full dress. Their at
tire was a loose undress, somewhat unbeco

and kettle-drum only were heard, between
whose simultaneous efforts, the one upon 4,Au

from the rattle to he "Yankee Doodles?' the
air was tilled with a rather discordant admix

from some lofty window, and reminded one
that other men than soldiers lived hard by.
Alas, poor students Between drum and fife,

One of the most noticeable features, how
ever—and a really delightful one—was the
exceeding kindness and courtesy which, amid
all this jarring noble; never failed to display
itself. On every face you met a pleasant
smile; from ; every lip a pleasant word. On
suddenly turning an angle,
I came upon a
sentry. i; Yon can't pass this a-way 'he
cried, only half presenting his piece, with a
good-natured phiz. At another time,an
officer found me, talking with a sentry, whom
be was about putting in the guard-rionse for
the disobedience, silence being a striet duty.
" It was not his fault," I went on to explain.
The officer very patiently heard me out.
cg Well, sir," he replied, "I don't know but
you are the worst sort of a Secessionist ; but
you look-like a gentleman, and for once I will
let him off; but if he ever "—and maybe his in
vocation to the poor sentry wasn't appalling !
Strolling about the grounds, now meeting a
squad of men, now a party of priests, now
groups of boys, was very interesting, and I
remained down by the river side until sunset.
The day had been hazy, and the last rays fell
through eloudis of blue, in a cheering light,
which reflected in the water sails of azure,
edged with gold. I sat down upon a white
stone, having left my horse with the stable
boy, and what passed in that 'vicinity, for

AN IMPOSING DEMONSTRATION
IFrom the ohmage Times of Sala rd sr .1
Yesterday was a day unequalled in the history
of Chicago. A wave of humanity swept over her
broad streets. A crushing throng poured forth
from highways and byways, and the busy bum of
a hundred thousand voices filled the air, as, with
one accord, her people came out to do honor to the
illustrious dead In the thoroughfares, in the
public promenades, and beyond, jar out into the
extremities, streamed the same interminable mare
of humanity hurrying, jostling, crowding
anxious to witness with their own oyes what eyes
never can witness again—the funeral obsequies of
Stephen A Douglas. It was one of those events
which ripen into reminiscences—a pageant hour,
which bore fruit for future remembranee to be
talked of when those who are now in the flush of
youth have turned into the downward path of life,
and grown cold to the excitements of the day. .
At an early hour the streets were taken posses
sion of by a strong force of police A hundred
special policemen wore added to the regular force,
and to the admirable systems which was observed
was due in a great measure to the success of the
.grand demonstration. The sun rose • bright and
clear, the air was cool sod quiet, and in no respect
could more favorable auspioes haye been desired.
-The line of procession wae guarded by ropes, drawn
kt 'the crossing, and the space was kept clear of
every. species of vehicle. Pedestrians had every. I
thing to themselves for ones. Au immense throng
gathered in front of Bryan IhII, where the remains
ray in state, and, from that nucleus, extended
along the line of march, down Clark and Lake
streets, and up Michigan avenue. The view on the
lake shore was grand. Michigan avenue was lined
for over tire miles in length, with the same crush
ing mass of humanity which gathered in the more
populous streets. One continuous, moving black
line stretched far beyond the vision, uninterrupted
by a single break. It was a wonderful eight, and
a eight which many may never witness again.
The procession commenced forming at 10 o'clock
in the morning. Its immense extent rendered it
linpossible that any movement should be made with
alacrity, and the anxious and expectant multitude
waited long for its appearance. It Baal start was
announoed by the booming of minute guns from
the vicinity of the head of Michigan avenue, and
at about half past eleven it became visitle, ad
vancing with(alow movement and solemn musto up
the avenue. The scene from an elevated point at
this juncture was magnificent. The bead of the col
umn Game slowly onward, with measured footsteps,
the glittering instruments of which gave forth
the solemn notes of a dirge, throwing back the rays
of a pure morning sun on the dazzling splendor.
Beyond were the bright uniforms of the staff offi
cers on horseback, and still beyond a serried line
of soldiery, marching with measured step and trail
ing arms. They seemed to be an army in them
selves, so compact was their line, so soldierly their
bearing and so great their numbers . Down in the
distance noddod - blaok plumes, shaken rudely by the
restive motion of led horses. whose pure white color
contrasted with the sombre garb whieh they wore.
A murmur ran through the throng—for all were
consoious by intuition that there was borne alt that
was left of the great man whose memory they de
lighted to honor. Every eye was centred upon ,
the equipage as it drew near, and every voice
broke out in solemn admiration and awe at its
pressive grandeur. Six white horses, crowned
with waving black plumes, and heavily draped
with crape, drew the hearse The burial case
stood ant, sharp and clear to the eye, on an ele
vated dais. A grand canopy of American flags
hung over it, draped in black, and over all an
eagle, with outspread wings, stretched out his
beak, end flung to the wind tee same sombre badge
of mourning which decked all else. The body of
the vehicle was robed in black, and hang with
silver fringe. It was a magnificent conception,
full of sublime impressiveness, and when it passed
away into the distance, every eye lingered where
it faded from view.
The procession came on in regular order, and
seemed almost without end. Wecannot better de
scribe it than by giving in detail its component

Many of the delegations were decorated in the
most expensive and Dusty manner. All of the civic
eoeleties bore barmen, and many of them wore re
galley. The military were in full uniform. A de.
tailed description of so Immense and imposing a
demonstration would be impossible ' or even to
mention peculiar and striking features where so
much was prominent to the new. The procession
was about two miles and a half in length, and at
oupied over an hour in passing. At a moderate
estimate, there were one hundred thousand spec
tators in the streets. Thousands came In on the
early trains, and the entire city-was out of doors.
The prooeselon arrived at the burial place at
about 1 o'clock. This is at Cottage Grove, three
miles south of the city, on the shore of Lake
Michigan, in as picturesque and beautiful a locality
as could be desired. The spot is on an elevated
point of land, extending into the lake in snob 8
manner as to become boldly prominent from every
'point of view. It sweeps gently to the water's
edge, and 31 surrounded by forest trees at a little
dletanoo. Nature has here designed the spot where
art can embellish to the pOint Of magnificence with-
out marring a feature. It remains with thepeoplo
of Illinois to transform it into a wonder of beauty
and solemnity by the exerelee of their princely
liberality and unbounded affection:-
The religions exercises at the tomb were per
formed by the Catholic clergy, under the direction

this magnificent demonstration, in his own home
and throughout the entire land, all speak'more
foraibly than any words, however appropriate, of the
irreparable loss whioh the country has just sus
tained:
Trusted, esteemed, and honored as he was in
life, never was he more necessary to the nation
than when it lost his distinguished services forever.
To the mysterious decree of Providence, which has
so - unexpectedly summoned from amongst us our
singularly,glfted, and honored friend, we must sub.
wit with pious resignation ; prostrated as we are
by this sudden stroke, we can only bow down and
micro. What a contrast the scene of to-day pre
sents to the universal aeolamatione, with which the
citizens of Chicago hailed his return amongst
them, a few abort weeks ago ! Then, all classes
vied in demonstrations of love and honor to the
ilinstricus man, who, without ceasing to ho the
chief of a greet party, appeared amongst us in the
character of the uncompromising patriot. In the
darkeet hour of our distress and gloom, he arose,
the star of hope to a distracted nation. Of the
perfect sincerety of his burning words, hone who
knew the man will for a moment doubt.
But bli eloquent and patriotic voice will be heard
no more; death has forever deprived us of his ex-
alted wisdom His memory, however, will live;
and though dead, he yet speaketh." It is sad,
indeed, to reflect that we lose such a man at a
period of life, when long and useful years would
still seem before him, out down in the very prime
of his exigenoe, and when his counsels are most
seeded ; but we must be resigned to the voice of
him who has summoned him so loon.
Duth la DO rupeotar of moons, and in the xa-
stance before us impresses the solemn !anon that
neither the most comprehensive wisdom, nor the
most devoted earneistnese in the noblest of CisWee,
nor sincerity of soul, nor rectitude of heart, neithet
a vigorous frame that seems to set disease at elan•
awe, not the most devoted attachment of loving
friends, oan be a shield against the fatal dart of the
Destroyer. However, though be lived net long
enough for hie country—and ab ! how may I even
allude to the sacred grief of the bereaved ones !
to their hearts god alone can speak—yet is a con
solation that he was called from us in the full noon
of his fame; that in this tribute of regret, all,
without distinction, cordially unite; and that all
asperities of party strife are burie d his gave.
Never, perhaps, was a publict man so tunver
sally wept, or more sincerely mourned. Yet,
universal as is the grief of the oily and State,
which ho AO specially loved, and of the 'entire
country wait% he so faithfully nerved, ,rt is but
just to the memory of the illustrious deceased to
observe that it is only what his merits' claim. It
is but a tit tribute of the country to hie . worth.-
To hie. duty as a statesman, he sacrilloed even do•
mastic repose, for which he never ceased•to pine.
For the interests of his country, he entirely ne
glected hie own .private concerns ; and with a
shattered frame, but undiminished seal,•regard
leils of self, he again rushed forth to nee, for the
salvation of his country, every effort of his well
stored mind—all the resources of his splendid
grains.
It is the result of 'this ginenius spirit' that we
mourn to-day; he paid -for his 'fidelity with the
eaerilloe•of his life._ In return, a grateful country
neaps over hie remains and contradicts the oft-re
peated statement that "Republica are ungrate
ful."
To the noblo-minded of oar and ovary other
clime, this will 'ever be A hallowed spot. Hire
they will come to learn the lesson of uneellialt pa-
triode= ; M this tomb the heroic still nerve them
selves for every generona sacrilioc. To the public
he was known merely as the brilliant orator; the
fervent patriot and pure statesman. Ah ! bow
must they feel in this sad moment, who knew tato
in private life ; whom he received In the circle of
his friends; who knew the generous heart, the
open hand, the ?Mal affection! How poor are
the words to express their feelings ! They ma be
only silent and weep.
And what are the feelings, even of warm friends,
compared with the anguish of those who stood to
him i n the endearing relations of wife, of children,
and relatives ! They alone oan appreciate his
worth. They alone can feel the full form of the
anat. that has fallen upon all. Others regret the
effective orator, the profound statesman, to whose
words of wisdom they listened, with wondering
roverenoe, in the Senate halls of his country, er in
the stormy debate ; but Isar will miss the heart
ever overflowing with the kindeat af f ections, the
loving voice, the unceasing kindness. A nation's
sympathy may,. with the aid of time ' tend to blunt
the edge of grief ; bat the hand of Him who has,
for fits own wise designs, inflicted the wound, can
'alone effectually heal it.
Ah ! what words oan now be addressed to her,

NOTES ON THE REBELLION.
NEWSPAPER FACTS AND OPINIONS•
AN 111EPTIBLISREL LETTER TRW JUDGE mAnaIIALL.
The Washington latelligencer brings to light
the following extract from a hitherto unpublished
letter of Judge Marshall to General Washington.
It was written at a time when the Pederaliste And
anti•Federallste were respectively vehemently eue
tatning or bitterly opposing the policy of President
Adams toward the French (iovernment :
January 8,1799.
Gain Sin-: I thank yon for the obeirge of Judge
Addison. It is certainly well written, and - I wish
that it, as well as some other publmattons on the
same subject, could he more generally aced. I be
lieve that no argument can moderate the leaders
of the opposition, but it may be possible to make
some impression on the mass of the people. For this
purpose the charge - of Judge Addison seems well
calculated.
However I may regret the passage of one of the
note complained of, I am firmly persuaded that the
tempest has not been raised by them. Its cause
lies much deeper, and is not easily, to be removed.
had they never passed, other measures would have
boon selected, which would have-been attatikai
with equal virulence. edifteline Hi, that an
not, operating on the press in soy manner affords to
itsopposers arguMents Which so captivate,the
public ear, 'whieh so mislead the public mind, that
the efforts of , reason to correct-false impressions
win often fail of success.
Two very interesting subjects have,
during the
present session , particularly engaged the attention
of the Legislature. The first was a paper intro- ,
dnoed by OW. Teytor L of Oaraline, and which jon
must have Boon contenting resolutions which take
advantage of /fie Irritation excited •by the alien
and sedition laws to criminate the whole conduct
of our Administration, end charge it with the de
sign of introducing monarchy ; the other was a
proposition from Mr. George K. Taylor, of Prince
George, expressive of sentiment similar to those
which have been declared by other Legislatures
of the Union on oar controversy with France, in
the place of whioh was Babetitnted, by a majo rity
of twenty-sine, a counter proposition termed en
amendment, which was offered by 001 Nicholas,
of Albemarle, and which 'seems calculated to
evince to Prance and to the world that Virginia is
very far from harmonizing with the American
government or her sister States. . '
The debates on these eubjeotet wore long and ani
mated. In the course of them sentiments were de
clared and (in my judgment) views were developed
of a very Berton! and alarming extent. To rne it
seems that there are men who will hold power by
any Means rather than not hold it, and who would
prefer a dissolution of the. Union to the continuance
of en Administration not of their own party. They
will risk ell the ills which may result from - the
moot dangerous experiments rather than permit
that happiness to be enjoyed which is dispensed by
other hands than their own. It le more than ever
essential to make great exertions at the next aloe
tiont and I am persuaded that by making them we
obtain a Legislature, if not Federal, eo divided as
to be moderate.
I feel with Increased farce the obligations or
duty tomato eacrifices and exertions for the pre.
aervation of American union and independence, ae
I am more convinced of .the reality of the danger
which threatens them.
With the most respectful attachment, I remain,
sir, your obedient, J. Manastaxi..

Be depreeated• the polley which up toAhat •time
guided the notion of the Confederate army, mai
which canoed it to be scattered at various points.
He said that in his opinion a concentration at - Ma- '
:mesas - Junction or Harper's Ferry was
tent, and unfolded hie plan of future operations as -
follows : He intends to conoentrate, and ie now
doing so, an army of from-50,000 to 00,000 men at
Manassas Junction, which shell be 'thoroughly
and efficiently guarded and defended eri as to ,
defy successful attack. He believes that the
Federal army .Is composed of reale* 'and
uneasy men, who will not be kept from.
artzoo f ; that insubordination is already at work,, ,
and that the leaders will be forced - to mike '
an early attack. " If," said he, " they attack ne
at the Junction, we can withstand them until they
are spent, and then we can pour forth' upon them
with irreeistible fury. What If theiy do 'go on' taking.
tbts.and that place before they attack ne, it will
- be of no praotioal or lasting benefit; they willihen
be compelled to attack our army. and. vau u i th a t

The Lawrence (Kansas) Republzcan, of May 30.
gives this &etch of a speech made by General Jim
Lane at Topeka, a few days previously :
He disavowed any ill-feeling toward any person.
He alluded especially to the representation that he
'was in the way of the organization of the troops,
and emphatioally said that he would get out of the
way if snob was the fact, and that he was ready to
co-operate heartily in way oapacity where he could
be useful. He referred to the action of . Joe Lane
in the Mexican war; saying that Joe never was
supposed to have mush sense, but that when Pre.
sident Polk gave him a commission as hrigadler
general in the Mexican war, instead of taking com
mand he presented himself before the brigade as a
candidate, avowing hie determination to surrender
his commission unless elected by the man. He
advised the organisation of the troops, end
the selection of oftlaers, trusting to the honor and
magnanimity of the authorities to confirm thorn by
appointment, and assured the peoples that If they
organized, selecting their beet and bravest man for
eaptain, and their nest beat jor lieutenant, and so
on down, they would be accepted into the United
States service. If they wanted him in any capa
city, from a drill-muter up—and he , thought all
would admit that he had some capacity in that way
—he was willing to serve them. He assured them
that he could not take command in the-United
States army without resigning his position as Sen
ator,
and that he was willing to do. The Senate
had been the object of his ambition for sii years,
but he was willing to lay it dawn to nerve his
country in its present peril; and he thought thole
who opposed hie election to the Senate ought not to
object to his abandoning that position. He denied
hostility to any . man, but avowed the fact that he
had assisted his friends in appointments, and ex
pected to hereafter. His speech was very favora
bly received--evidencing, beyond doubt, that high
trust which had always been placed in his judg
meat as a military leader.
V ATOR
CLanksvaLms, Tenn., May 20, 1681.
DAM,. SIB: In compliance with your note of this
morning, I have to state that, in my judgment,
under the circumstances that now surround ns,
it is beet for the country that we should vote for
Separation and Representation at the approaching
eleotion.
The conduct of the Administration In making
war upon the States, is such a subversion of the
Constitution that makes it the duty of each State
to exercise, at once, all the right" reserved in the
Constitution to secure their independence and fu
ture prosperity.
I should have preferred not voting for represen
tation, at present, in the Southern Confederacy,
and that our State should have stood independent,
under the agreement to act with those States of
fensively and defensively during the war and
after peace, then to have gated In concert with the
other slaveholding States in the formation of a new
Confederacy.
But as the question is now to be voted on, a vote
against representation would probably be oonstrued
at the North us a vote favoring the polio) of the
Administration, and might induce the belief that
there was a much greater division among us than
really exists. I have concluded to give my vote for
representation, under the belief and hope that a
united front would best promote the interests of the
State, and trust to making a proper Confederation
when we shall have secured peace.
I am, very respectfully, your friend,
C. Janson.
