that time, by about the Gath inst, be-

HOW THE COUNTRY WILL REQUIRE THIS
WAR TO BE CONDUCTED.

To N, Editor Of The ~ y. TyitVn,
Sm | will presume upon what feel to be a correct
knowledge Of the public sentiment of the County Of
Columbia, 10 declare the policy which its inhabitants
viii expec, the Federal Administration to pursue, in
the prosecution Of the which the Free States have
Instituted to suppress the Shareholders Rebellion.
l. This rebellion ia against the Republican principle
rather than against the Federal authority. Ii il mil
itay undertaking of the Slaveabor States 10 reduce 10
political subsection the Free.labOr States II is an
armed uprising Of the ariaocTatc principle in the
Southern part of the RepabGc against the Democratic
principle III the Northern part. II s not possible TO
conceive of a war in whose conduct and results every
man woman and child in the Free States have Such
direct personal interest they have in this For this
reason the popalar feeling in Tie North rA regard IN
lis management shOui9 be NE supreme iau 10 he I'D
ninistration A foreign war like that against Mexico
"a foreign maritime war for example, against
Spain-mish probably be left TO the Executive wisdom
and patriotism to whore care the Constitution
las assigned them. But civil war, in which
Is involved the existence Of what is thousand times
more valuable than the Republic-of the Republi-
can principle i,self-was never contemplated by the
statesmen who organized the system of administering
our Federal rust In such an event the underlying OF
administrative action. The Federal Executive forth
with becomes an agent OF limited powers, whose duty
is to carefully ascertain tie principals wishes and TO
derive from the manifestations OF popular feeling its in.
structions for aoon-insirucons, which III this form,
are as mandatory they were declared by the Con
stitu;ion itself.
II. The public sentiment OF Columbia County is
that this war shall be conclusive between the parties TO
it-that no amstice, treaty, no compromise, shall
he permitted TO intervene between the people OF the
North and the final finish they intend to make of every
outstanding cause of dispute between Freedom and
Slavery The war shal endure, and without cessation
until the United States have Union and the Republic
has Republcangu. 1t is the peoples purpose now to
perfect the political system their fathers projected and
if the price of this work sha be hundred ihonsand

cbeerfuly pay il. But the rork has got TO he done.
III. cannot imagine severer trlal oil the feelings
Of the people of this county than to have the Adm

public demand is that the Government strike instantly
and with unreenting vigor at the foe in Maryland ana
