If you take the trouble to collect these frac- I tions, you tiud that according to them be (In- | ion people in the South in ISOI compose ! for- I ty-tiirce and seven-tenths per cent., or nearly halt of the whole population, while now they form but thirteen and six-tenths per cent, of I 1 population. This teils a strange i:tle. It shows that the war, so far as relates to remov ing the old Union, is a conspicuous failure, and has managed to couvert the old Unionists armed rebels. ' We have gained in territory, we have secured important strategic positions, and put an eini to whatever commerce, the South may have had; but at the san. time we have thoroughly alienated the hearts of its peo ple from ourselves and from the old Union which w.5 boiLi once prof-ssed to love. This is a natural result of the policy which we nrged utv on ibe government, and which it at last a icptmi. Ihe removal of Hue!! and AfcC ILin becauso ot their lenient treatment ot tlie southern pop ulation, and the infusion of a more stringent policy, had the proper effect oil the army. In stead of treating the southerners as misguided friends U> be won back to an old love, they were instructed to -rcat them as enemies, for such tliev were to tie great principles of freedom, if not t-.i iLe Union iioelt. lUnce it is ih.it wherever our armies have inarched they have made en emies of those whom they found to be friend-, lake the case of '"ennessee, lor example.— When eu troops first entered XasbvilK and, still later, Knoxville, tlc Unionists in i -.Stile :ave a rapiurous welcome to the dear otd 'l;ig ind the men "under whose protection :t had been borne to their slate. How changed is all iiisuow! They who undeV the rule of Jeff. D.tvD and hi* crew sighed for tit? re-turn of the 'M I'nion, an I waited long ami patiently for :he gleam otic j> r:! bayonets, enduring mean while a systeih of oppression that beggars de scription.—these men and wt.men are to-dav tiie luiter-st rebels in sho South. Jeff. Davis hits now no warmer allies than these peop'c— And if a rebel invasion of East Tennessee should ever tr pract r able, it is safe to nredict that the old unconstitutional Unionists, and followers of Andy Johnson and Darson low, would give the conf-'derate troops a wl coaio ev ii warmer than that win -h they rat e our soldiers at the flr^t. The Shenandoah vaiicv is anotb* r case to the "uir.t. Gent Jen ;n wh aocompr* J that UiC inll.TbllHllSS, as a ..<i, were not hostile to tbc Union; the active young men wore mostly rebels, but the great majority of the r -ident- were eith r indifferent as to the result of the contest, or wartuly devoted to the cause of the Union.

Are our fico|ile prepared to face this < ontin- gency? Arc you, my good friend ? To übjugate thcp.opleoi the Soulli is an impossibility — Like th Indians, they would die rather than he enslaved. So die and disappear they maul. The great powers of Europe have Ixsen for two hundred years trying to o.mquer Poland. She stands ready to begin a revolution tu-iuorrow. The great Ru-siun Empire was fighting for thirty ycats a few barbarous trih s in the Cau casian mountain ; it found that the only method to accomplish its purpose was the complete ex tirpation of the inhabitants. Alexander fol lowed the example of Cromwell, and ho was wise in doing so. There are instances in bis turv of races being conquered, but, like the old Saxons, it was necessary to keep them in abso lute servitude, and whole generations had to pa-s away b'-fore it was .safe to intrust them with freedom, much less with citizenship. I need not remind y u that the scuti.eraers arc of the same vigorous stock as ourselves, anu would never submit to a state of slavery, INor should we think for a moment of such a thing. Th; spirit of the age, the glorious principles of ?ur part>, now inscribed, thank God upon the nation's banners : the teachings of Christiani ty and the bup.s we have for the future, all a likc forbid ua from even harboring the thought af such a course.

In the very beginning of this war, in the first dava of the extra session ot 1801, I said, in'rrv place in Congress, that I tvonld vote for ail" measures necessary t > enable the. viov-ernmcnf to maintain its honor and dig nity, and prevent disaster to its li g. 1 have done so. j 1 thought that by the adoption of such measures the faith of the Government was ' pledged to the troops in the held, and must j not be forfeited by inadequate supplies. I j never gave a rote which was incompatible) with this sentiment. All appropriation? pare and simple, tor ! the support and efficiency of the arrrv and | navy had my cordial concur-once. It was ! onlv when they were connected with other and improper appropriations; when by rea son of their popularity, they were loaded down with fraudulent items for the benefit of contractors or speculators, and every at tempt to separate them failed; when they were made a stalking horse for sonic Abo lition scheme, that I was constrained reluc tantly to vote against the whole bill. But 1 repeat, that I voted against no bill : which was confined simply to the object of 1 supplies for the army and the navy. 1 am very truly, yours, t GRO. H. PeXDI.ETON.
