If Seward submitted his proposal, they doubtless considered it as a "Yankee trick," in which no confidence was to be placed. They, and the people of Virginia as well, cannot forget that the Northern presses have declared, in language most positive, that any concessions made now will be "snatched back" the moment our troubles are over.
