No Peace.

The Black Republican party are again il
council al Washington. They without
opposition, and with no impcdmen;s to unre-
strained action but those which the bad pur.
poses of bad men invariably create. They
Ind their country in deplorable condition
we speak Of the States which adhere to LIN
COLIN Trade is PROSTATE; industry is par
alyzed and in despair; bankruptcy is over
spreading the land; hope is gone; and their
rulers are in the painful dilemma of being
obliged either to abandon their policy Of
coercion, confessing its madness and wicked
meas to their own people or, Of pushing
1t on, at the cost of immense expenditures, an
enormous public debt, ard wider and inten-
siied ruin. Never was q more vicious party
In possession Of great Government Never
was its power 10 do its own will more unre
strained by political opposition. Never was a
party more coniounded by its own work /:
never in more imminent danger Of destruc-
ton by its own madness and infatuation.
There are those who cherish the vain delu-
sion that the ruling spirits at Washington will
lie disposed towards peace. Never was there
n greater hallucination or a wilder dream. 1t
Is an axiom of history that revolutions never
so backwards. Those who raise the whirl-
wind may direct, but they cannot stay, the
storm. DASTos and RoBEspIERRE and Pr
TioN went on, and on, and on, until they them
solves experienced the fate to which they had
consigned so many victims The BLAIRs. the
Stewards and the GRrELEys cannot stop in
the full career of revolution, if they would
aud they would not if they could. TO pause,
topariey and to make peace, may be the part
OF prudence for the North rs it indisputably
Is the part of patriotism; but it is not in the
hearts OF these men to espouse policy of that
pacific nature, even if it did not involve, as it
does, their own Punishment from power and
disgrace before the world and posterity.
That these men control the sentiment of the
people of the North has been evidenced by
thousand undeniable proofs. The conservative
classes, which have been supposed mighty
enough, when reused, to throw overheard the
piratical crew and right the ship of State,
have been often invoked, but like GLENDowER's
spirits from the Vastly deep, they will not come
when called. They do not present themselves
because they do not exist. To wait for fanat-
Icism to fall, and for conservatism to rise and
assert its control at the North, is as idle as the
conduct of that foolish traveller who waited
for all the waters Of the river to pass by, in
order that he might crcss over on dry land.
Gentlemen may cry peace, peace but there
Al
control the affairs of the North; and the
name of that party is legion.
This day the Black Republican party is
stronger than it has ever been before 1t i:
=" strong that it is even without opposition--
There is no party at the North, deserving, by
lis numbers, of the name of party, which
dares to cope with that organization for polti-
cal control, or even to question its outra geous
acts OF unconstitutional usurpation. As to
the Federal Constitution, there is none so poor
rs to do 1t reverence in all the realms of LIN
COLIN Here and there few men like GLEN
EST VALLLAsDIGHAN and FRANKLIN PIERCE,
and the editors of three or four brave and pa.
triotic newspapers, raise their voices against
the madness that rules the hour, but like the
jast mon In sodom, they serve but 10 mark the
utter dspravisy Of their surroundings
There lie no peace 10 the hearts Of the North
towards the South, and 1t will Be fatal to our
cause to cherish such a belief for moment.
For forms sake they may use pacific language.
They are capable of any duplci,y and of any
deception; and their State papers may be
couched in honeyed phrases. In Northern
diplomacy, is TALLEYRANp's declaration EN-.
phaticslly true, that words are used to con-
ceivs ideas But whatever they may say,
whatever propose, hatred and war will always
be their meaning and purpose. Jous
BROWNS heart and SEwARp's head are the
true exponents Of Northern feeling and policy
towards the South.
Ihey do not mean TO make peace. The
traficing cities and the proft-driying manu-
featuring districts do not constitute the North,
these may be sick of the war, and desperate
for peace but notwithstanding the suferings
CT the ciamor of these, the war Is popular at
the North, and will 80 on. 1t i, not because
the Yankees love waI; il is, that they bate
the South, and have been taught by their edi-
t'rs to hold her prowefs, power and resources
10 such low estimation as to think they can
conquer her by mere numbers aud trntua, full
men, without much fighting or personal risk.
That opinion is so deeply rooted in them. that
Il will take a long time 70 root it out, and
many batteries and battles.
There will be no peace propositions from
the present session Of Congress. II is not
morally possihle that the aorth should pro-
pose them. Nor IL il for the interest af The
