MR. Kennedy hss alluded to his views Of coercion
believe that coercion il the only loft 10 sus
| tain this Government, and would sanction no peace
that does not imply the entire suppression of this most
| wicked rebellion 1 would sanction no peace which
dOes not imply the death Of ali the armed traitors who
| are leading This rebeou-nOt simply death from the
steel Of the soldier but felons death by the halter
That is the fate wood give to every single Of
the leaders Of this conspiracy, and L would march
the troops freely everywhere to put down rebellion.
20 a mi ia fhaea
promise necessary but that these shonld Law down
their arms, and abandon their position of armed rebel
lion, and return TO their allegiance and there is
| end 10 the matter The Constitution of the Republic
is the wsest compromise Of conflicting opinous that
has ever been made and upon that compromise rest all
my hopes OF the perpetuty Of this Government under
! which we live.

his distaste Of the doctrine OF coercion and he WIS
more than ever opposed TO il, notwithstanding the eI
quent panegyric OF the Senator from Indiana lie was
more than ever convinced that you could mt down
! tins reyolution-he called il a revolutionary force
He willing TO make any concession to restore hi,
Government to where il was year ago. But YOU
might fight twenty years, aud you could not recon-
struet this Union lie had yet to ask for envy reasp
| for the suspension Of the writ Of habeas corpus.
