prosecution Of tie 10 passed almost - matter oil

adopted without reference oven TO The possibility oil
Carrying them into execution, Ind orders are Issued 70

or 10 close the ports OF seeded States as the power
and authority Of the Washington Government would be
paramount in the ports Aforesaid II the Official party
ever des ened 70 keep up show Of abstaning from the
extremes Of sbotionis Il has abandoned that attempt
ct appearances-the House Of representative Speaker,

ngress therefore, sanctions the endesvor 70 sggra-
vase civil by servile war 10 the South That the
Government refuses oil TO peaceful overtures has
been manifested. Colonel Taylor, who cana With .

II we have kept our reckoning CORRECTLY this 10 the
sixth occasion on which the Government Washington
has not only repesd peaceful from the South
but bss not degned 10 take the Northern States In
Il. confidence sufficiently to let the nature OF those
mmanications be kno~n- Apparently wthou: any h.
formation on such subecs the Senate bad passed an ad.

adopt no compromise. 'Our dag sb'l wave triumphant

Wing party have resolved 70 carry out their own will
though The republic itself DO the stake In the gambur

relations With tina Southern States cret from the =

the enemy with loss OF half dozen men killed and
wounded on his own side has retired; a.: the mag.
nanmty Of the Northern Generals precuded them from
enforcing the victories they have won, while their hu
msnity made them awsy from the sickenng sight
of the carnage they had inflicted Even In New York
they have long since begun to fancy that these reports
are more f,bulous than the Arabian Nights entertain
