The Perrysburg journal. [volume] (Perrysburg, Ohio) 1853-1861, 1855-01-27

p~By two or three Of the latest arrivals
from Europe news has been brought Of at
tempts among the diplomatists to patch up
some sort of a treaty of peace. We have
for some time been impressed with the idea
that the war is about over, and that no de-
cisive result will be gained by either side in
the Crimea before peace shall be made. The
fact is, the forces both active and reserve are
so evenly balanced and so powerful that to
subdue and humble either side will be the
work Of many long years, vast expenditures
of blood and treasure, endless combinations
and intrigues, tedious efforts and many re-
verses. Taxes meantime will continually
grow and oppress the people ,and public debts
will swell more rapidly than ever before
And all for what? Sensible men in Europe
wall ask themselves the question, and this
point must press more and more upon the
attention of the rulers. An understanding
and agreement upon satisfactory terms of
peace will probably be just as difficult and
distant after ten years of war as at the be-
ginning. Neither side will be likely to be
able to muster sufficient force to "conquer
q peace" or compel the other to sue for terms
Peace at last will be but a compromise among
the powers. The sooner such a compromise
is effected the better for all concerned. Such
we believe will be the result, and before
very long time.
