The dispatch of Mr. Dallas being in the original, its return to the Department of State is requested.
He was, however, induced by the interposition of Hon. Jefferson Davis and nine other Senators from the seceded and seceding States not to deliver it on the day appointed.
A demand for these purposes will be made in a firm but conciliatory spirit.
