We extract The following from power
ful article from the pen OF the eloquent and
patriotic REy. RoBERT J. BREcKISRIpGE
recently published in the Dunnsille (Ky.)
Quarterly Review.
At the outset, he shows the restoration
of peace 10 be impossible except on the cvn.
dition Of the preservation Of the Federal
Union and Constitution. lie shows clear.
ly that no division Of the coun ny can be
agreed upon, and lie says;
ave readily admit that there is hardly
an imaginable contingency, in which the
Confederate Government can ever con-
quer, or the nation ever concsde any boun-
Diary ought to be an allowable basis

il il, that the nation can contemplate no al
tentative but triumph or ruin, and that the
eonspiaiors against its peace and glory
have madly plunged into a Wicked rebel
lion, which could have no result but the
subjugsstion Of the whole nation, or their
own destruction. AT first, their pretext
was--the right Of each State TO s.cede.--
Now, they seek TO conquer States that re-
fuse TO secede. Peridi1us now 10 each

WILLINGNESS OF TnE NORTH TO DO JusTIcE TO INK
SOUTH.
1--WE have felt obliged, many times in
the course of many years, TO condemn GER
,ain tendencies in the Northern mind, and
various acts, which seemed TO be approved
by the mass OF the Northern people, hos.
tile to the rights Of the Southern States,
and incompatible with their own duty as
citizens OF the United States. In the same
spirit OF fearless justice, We now give ex.
preston TO our grateful and coniidng ad-
miraiion OF conduct on the part Of the
North, full Of high and multiplied proofs
Of wisdom, magnanimly. aud heroism.
We solennly believe this day, that the
North is wiling TO do for the loyal States
of the South, more, in every way, than any
magnanimous Southern man would have
the heart to ask. What shame what a
burning shame---that men should be be-
irayed by villains, to seek each others
hses,--who, IL they did but know one
another, would rush into each others
arms !"

I'VE still await, still confidently expect
the counter revolution Throughout, the
South which, under ordinarily wise and
courageous treatment, would have crushed
the secession conspiracy as SOON as it had
developed iis nature, spirit and designs
but which must now extinguish il when its
course is run. The grounds upon which
we expec, il, instead OF being removed, are
every way confirmed by the progress OF
events. II 10 more certain now, ti.an il
