£@”■111 a recent discussion of the Peace ;
• Question with the New York livening
F(’«t, (It iijjeal.HepabRoah organ) tho New
VtM k Daily News uscu tho following re-
markable language;
Air. Davis lias ever professed anxiety
fm* Peace. We hare-reason'M> believe that
he is willing to negotiate on the basis of
thot undoubted principle of the Constitu
tion—the Sovereignty of the States. The
Confederate Congress, in its Address last
winter, declared the readiness of the Con
Pdoracy to enter into negotiations; and in
laying down tho conditions precedent, con
fined 'itself to an assertion of the Coustitu-.
tional dootrino of Stato Bights. That re
markable manifesto was conceived in a spirit
of conciliation ; and, in its anxiety , to re
move every impediment in the way of
Peace, admitted virtually its willingness
to siirrendef 'even tho compact by which
the States of the South are h-'d in a dis
tinct. Confederation.’’
In commenting .upon this articlo, the
Post charged the News with saying virtu-
aily that “ the Southern States were willing
to re tarn to the Union. The News replied:
the plan of adjust ment does not involve a
return'to the Union. A concentration of
the intellect of tho country would result
in.a plan <if accommodation, and in 0 politi
cal system satisfactory and beneficial to the
North and tho South.”
The New York Ilcruid con taint a tele
gram from Geo. N. Sanders to Jurat's Gor
don Bennett, dated .Niagara, inviting him
to come to Canada, add saying: “A res
toration of all that is valuable to either
seotjon can be effectedtiouhtlops refer-'
ring lo the Sovereignty of the States.
