ELIU BuRRITT has been with us on his mission of peace
md his presence doubt will have the effect 10 quick
en- to life and growth those seeds Of erna kindness which
lumber in every breast We visionary at least we
think not We do expect the world to iuro at
ncb und from its present condition Of strife and bloodsed
one Of harmony and peace but we do believe peace for
he world to be aainabe by proper and sufficient EFFORT
md SO believing it is and always will be our delight 10 en-
courage and TO The extent Of power, assist that Effort
We hal then this advent among U.s. Of MIR Burrtt The
seeds OF The benign principles he advocates, exist in every
breast but III this as every other REFORM some quckenng
influence seemed necessary give vitality to the dormant
power This vitality Mr. Burrtt, by the genial warmth
he raterna affection which raidates his whole nature
Impaired and we hope believe, that The progress

aiusIy onward, uniiltho great object is gained.
Mr. Bnrri;l able spend evening in our city
md address our citizens but His address divided
ldrf TWO heads first showing the folly, uselcSSess and
"iekedness Of and second the progress of tie Peace
noFtmeI Under The first head think none of the All
hence were unconyinced. Indeed it seems to lis that it
needed not the clear head warm heart of Mr. Bu
70 convince any indi dua possessing grain of intellect of
he folly, usaicssaess aud wckedness of war Who c.n
look d" ihe question one moment without coming that
conclusion? We speaking of what has been Iyhet
- war has been Of benefit mankind il is hardly
worth while to discuss Certainly the civilized world is now
sufficiently intelligent to make this unreasonable agent ma
longer m instrument for any purpose. Must international
difficulties be always The parent of bloodshed? Must dis
Phc7 between nations, however Observation-Disclosures
"E ancied insults or having reference 10 territory which
may be worse than useless be always settled or attempted
10 De- .! aggravated murder? In internal policy We
blfe! permit capital punishment for the offence of win
murder; how then Justify ourselves rs nation for
icns il ON another nation for ancicd insults or unliu
dated debts Ii is wicked II is said though that all this

The world has been ruled by tie destructive ,pg long
enough 4 destroy only human lives but the ac,aui
alod earnings Of the earth- oing millions and keeps them
in degradaona poverty It is time these tuilug millions
demanded and cnaced peace perpetual peace The world
is theirs and he institutions of the world shod be- and il,
ne institutions of peace only they obtain their rights or
obtain permanent prosperity. Peace them is worth an cf
fort and is The highest interest of every man 10 labor for
