J The prinoiples and facts that justified our secession, retain all their original truthful* ness and power, and so bind us to maintain our separate nationality under any and every issne. The gross misconception on the part of the politicians at the North, and the total ignorance of that people, of the true nature, principles, and operations of a Republican Government; the servile and cowardly spirit in whioh they have surrendered their liberties to an actual Despotism; the fanaticism and treachery that h?ve controlled them in council and conduct; and the barbarities and atrocioua crimes whioh they have perpetrated upon oar people, and which are sanctioned by tbe authoritiesdemand that we have a perpetual divorce from such a people. Tbe desolate hearthstones, wasted fields, deserted homes and habitations, now black in rains, the banished and impoverished families; the immense sacrifices in limb, and blood, and life, as well as in tears and comforts, and treasure, whioh our country men base experienced; veneration for our fallen heroes, and respeot for surviving friends? condemn, in thnnder tones, eves tbe thought of a re-union with a nation who is the cause and agent of all these.

To the" interrogatory propounded to the candidates for the Legislator?, by "York District," I answer, I would be unwilling to accept any terms, save the unconditional recognition of the Confederate States. The preamble to the old Constitution reads? "to insure domestic tranquility, and provide for the oommon defence." . By reconstruction, are could get.no guarantee for the future, more binding than we had in the past?that the North would regard our Constitutional rights. Reconstruction would bo "*n acknowledged failure of the right of self-government, and of State Sovereignty, and would be the means of Consolidating the Government, one of the 'main eauaes of the withdrawal of the Southern States from the old Unioh. The North could give ns no guarantee (save that of the sword) whioh would hold in oheok the agrarian spirit of that seotiou; and, moreover, a sea of blood flows between us; to extend the band of fellowship over the .graves -of the fallen dead, wonld b'e degradation; their departed spirits wonld rise in mockery against their liyipg countrymen. - ,,, i JOHN T, LQ57B.Y.

Grant, who refuses a free transit to & foreign offioial, through the ordinary, avennes of communication, obarged with a' mission tor his Home Government. On the other hand has the French Government so little interest in the welfare of its own oitizens residing in the Confederacy, as to abide the decisions of Grant with regard to the movements of its own officers. The Frenoh Government can scarcely consent that officors who are kept in the Confederate States to seonra the interests of French citizfens, should besectaded from their home Government, and be as it were 'blockaded' i by the caprice of Lieutenant General Grant- j ?Richmond Whigt 2><tth. / J ?r t m??? ?
