The old song Of compromise is now being sung
again by the enemies Of the government. AS
the day upon which Congress is to meet ap-
breaches, we hear the music increase in volume,
and by the fourth day Of July we expect to have
our ears fited-by an entire secession chorus
with the patriotic strains Of compromise. Trai-
tors and rebels in disguise are filled with peace
projects and, being prolific in affection for the
constitution they ape willingness TO bring
forward any peace offering except loyalty to the
government that will tend to stay this unna'ur-
al war, as they are pleased to call it, md restore
the country to-whAt? why to the weak, dis
graced and fragmsntary condition in which
old Mr. Buchanan left it a few months ago. when
il was an easy prey to just such scoundrels, rob
bers and periured traitors as kind hearted peace
men would now plead for and shield from the
lust wrath and punishment of On outraged
country.
But it is too late. The masked designs of
these peace traitors, as we'll rs the open acts of
the rebels in arms are too plainly seen and
known to effect anything for treason under The
false cry of peace. There is but one cOmpre-
mise that can now be made available, and that
must come-not from MIR. BayArd Mr. Critten-
den, Mr.. Tyler or mister anybody else-but il
must come from The eGRaon's mouth, and upon
! rebel SOIL No other peace measure will answer
because none other will be a sufficient and COM
: plete antidote for the great evil. And it mns'

of the stolen forts, and beneath the folds OF the

enunciates the facts in relation to the immediate
