ABSTRACT, peace is preferred 20 war This

peace, on the degrading conditions annex

those rights, peace will be restored "a, us
her return will be hailed with delight by
'ne warInest advocates OF the war-oscause

'nose r'yats. The war will in fact became
more popular, because it has produced III
'he government of the enemy disposition
o respect our rights, which, before the war,
'ney r'oicuied and condemned. At this mo-
hent' SUCH peace as only can be accent
ed, Will be hailed with mare satisfaction by
those who commenced and now support the
war than by its opponents. The war with,

opponents of either is every tiay reduced
we repeat, what we have once before said.
that peace is dear TO our hearts and its
return will be the more gratifying, because

dress or those wrongs, which had made an
gnominious peace an intolerabie burthen.

Legislature during the whole Of Yesterday !

impartial sketch as vas consistent with
the necessary brevity. These who recoIiec,

tue summer. and the paltry purposes "a
wh'ch II mas been applied, will, we think.
deem with Us, that its latter esd has been
more honorable than it deserved. The On.
~ interest this letter has excited in the
poo!ic mind, since our publication of MIR.
