Eiacr 10 the War.

From different quarters VIC have urgent sugges-
tons that all discussion respecting the origin or
probable extent and consequences Of the War be
terminated. and that all thoughts all efforts be
directed u vigorous prosecution OF the War
This It is said, is the way to conquer Peace and
the only way
We protest against this view Of the matter II
leaves God and Justice entirely out Of the account
The first thing. in our Judgment, to be done IS to
procure public declaration from our Government
Of the terms which it stands ready to make
peace-say at any time before the list OF March
next Let this 20 forth TO the world and II the
terms be moderate and reasonable our side will be
Immensely strengthened and that OF Mexico pro-
portonally weakened unless she shall promptly
close with our offer and put an end TO the War
Let il be settled that we are henoesorth 20 light
purely for Justice and Peace. not for plumber and
extended sway and we can hardly fail to secure
speedy adjustment. Mexico suffers more, appre-
bends more. from the War than We do, and would
gladly close it if she could feel that her exist
ence and independence would not be perlled there
BY Hher people are rallied to the battlefield now
It's because they believe the National danger i'm
minent. To dissipste this belief will be Of more
effect in fastening Peace than the bloodiest battle
the most triumphant victory
Next 10 this we must give assurance that we
will not curse any accession of territory which may
be accorded TO us at peace by Mexico with the
pollOting, bighting leprosy OF Slavery On TINS
point the action Of our Government should be
prompt and emphatic. five are indeed fighting to
extend the area not OF Freedom but OF bondage
Of buying and selling wives from husbands ami
children from parents-we cannot hope we ougn'
not TO wish for success in the contest Let the
Nation speak out ON this head, and put The point
beyond controversy. The War, bad enough at
best becomes horrible IL regarded as War for the
extension OF Slavery.
We think our Government ought also to declare
that IL will accept OF no territory at the close oil the
War unless the People of that territory, having a
iau and free opportunity to express their prefer
epce shall decide TO come tous rather than remain
with Mexico Unless our Declaration OF indie
pendence be the yerest quackery and farce ever
known, we have no ,,cM to drag reluctant prov
inces behind our triumphsl Fifty victories and
the capture Of the City Of Mexico would give u'
no moral right 10 Incorporate department into GU
territory while its People objected to the transfer
Such, in our view, are the most important an'
imminent steps to be taken with a view OF con
oaerins Peace We know there is a dheren
