Highly Important, if True?A Seces- ; sion Movement in the Northwest The Jackson (Miss.) Crises of the 11th i instant, edited hy Mr. J. \V. Tucker, lor- ! , merly of this State, obtains some very l , important revelations frotn "a distinguish* i ^ ed citizen of one of the Northwestern \ I i States." The Crse, in publishing this I rather startling statement, assures us thai ' it is "strictly accurate and entirely telia hie." We place it, in fuil, before our ' readers : The States of Indiana, ll'inoie* and j Ohio have determined to stop the war and mike terms of peace with the Con federate Slates, cost what it may, and offend whom it may. In ?ne purpose, whatever the future may be, they are ^ firmly and unalterably untied and resolv- . ed, and that purpoae is, the war against j the Confederate States shall cease ; or, il j it is to he carried on, the Northwest will ' v throw its utility power into the scale a gainst the aggressor. The citizens of those States who have been drafted or ^ enrolled in the Federal mi my are leaving ^ that army by the hundred and bv the q regiment, and there is no authority in the ^ army which can control mis movement. Of the one hundred and fiftv thousand ( men organized hy the Federal Governinent to operate on the Mississippi river, ^ under Grant and MeClernard, not more n than forty thousand effective so'diers re ^ main, and that number is daily dimmish ^ ed by uiortality from sickness, and by voluntary abandonment of an enterprise with which they are moat thoroughly disgusted. d The Legislature of lllinoies, lrdian, ' Ohio, and Kentucky are to convene at J Frankfort, in general Convention, on the I 18 h day of February, inst., and will there f agree upon the principles upon w Irch a ? Northwest Confederacy ia to be instituted and propose '.erins of peace and commerce * with the Confederacy for the Slates bur- ' dering the Mississippi and its tributaries 1 ? proposing a treaty, offensive and de- ' fensive, with the South, or an adoption of 1 the Confederate States Constitution, to * incorporate those new members into the ' Confederacy, if that be agreeable to ibe I people of the Confederate States. Hut in i any event, and independently of all other f questions, relations of peace, amity and commerce with the Sou'.h are to be e?lal<* J lisbed. When these principles are agreed upon * in Convention, Commissioner* will be deputed to bear the result to Richmond t to treat with the Confederate Government * for a final and satisfactory adjustment ol " all interest involved. This action will be ' taken not secret'*, not clandestinely, but openlv and with serious, dignified deter- c mination, representing the sovereignty of ii those great and populous Slate*. When * the terms of adjustment are settled at L Richmond, they will he submitted for the o ratification of the people of those Stales v respectively, by organic action at thehol* I lot box provided lor by the legislature* I of the respective Slates. When thus rat t itied, the work of separation from the d United States will be regarded as finally * and irrevocably perfected. ri "Rut," we sugealed, "Major , what fif Mr. Lincoln shall send a detachment t'> Ci Frankfort to arrest the Convention and > its peace Delegates to Richmond f" * "Let him dare to lift a finger, or march tl an army to disturb the deliberations of h that convention, or arrest its delegates, tl and three hundred thousand Western ' * men will more to Washington City and tl hang Mr. Lincoln and his Cabinet."
