years of warfare the enemy continues a struggle, in
which our final triumph must be inevitable.
Unduly elated with recent success, he imagines that
temporary reverses can quell your spirit or shake
your determination, and now gathers heavy masses
together for a general invasion, vainly hoping that
by desperate efforts success may be reached. You
know what the enemy means by success.
His malignant rage aims at nothing less
than the extermination of yourselves, your
wives, and children, to destroy what he cannot
plunder, to partition our homes as the spoils of
victory, to incite servile insurrection, and to de-
bauch an inferior race hitherto contented, by pro-
mising the indulgence of the vilest passions as the
price of treachery,
conscious of their inability to
prevail by legitimate means, and not bearing to
make peace lest they should be hurled from power,
the men now ruling
in Washington refuse even to
confer on the subject of ending outrages disgracing
the age, or listen to any suggestion for conducting
the war according to civilised usages. No alterna-
