Compromise.


isette, that they are actually going stark mad
for fear that patriot may arise ia the land
who will discover method of reconcilins
the nation, and restoring the fralernal bonds
harhaye been broken without the necess-
ty of piling up thousands OF slaughtered hu.
man beings on the fields bf.batse. One oil
them goes so far as TO assert, that any man
who dares topropose compromise of any
kind, will seal his political death.
Well weHhave no political death 10 seal,
so then we shall'escape the terrible doom
that must of necessity fall on the head OF
some other, and therefore we have no per-
sonal fear on that score. And again, we
are free from the effects of the analhema,
for the-reason that we1have no compromise
TO propose, other than that provided for by
the Constitution and the laws, and TO them
We expect always 10 adhere. 1t may be
possible thar some abler and wiser head
can discover a way by which the Govern
ment Ike our merciful Creator did with
fallen aud rebellious many can be just, and
vet The justifier of those who have commit
ted such grevous wrongs against society
and government. NebuchanneZzar, who
was a more powerful man than any OF our
military editors, issued decree that no
person in his dominions should pray 10 The
living God for the space of thirty days, under
The penalty OF death Yet Daniel was
found, who had more respect for his God
than the edicts of the King, and he refused
obedience 10 the decree, and in conse-
quence thereof was cast into the lions den
The God whom Daniel worrhipped sealed
the mouth of the lions, and he walked
around the den as safely as If he had been
in the kings palace. Our military editors
would do wel9oread this little story, and
learn wisdom thereIrom.
For a man TO sit in his sancum, and full
minaie his bull of accommodation against
every one who does not obey his behes:, OF
who Gares 10 exercise Inc part OF freeman
and the rights inherit TO his political con-
diiion. is supremeIy ridiculous; and if he
is vain enough 10 suppose lha. he can
thereby deter other men from dong wha,
they consider right and just, we can only
say that he is an eligible candidate for the
lunatic asylum.
We think that the true course for the
Government 10 pursue is, TO carry on the
war vigorously and energe;cally. and not
TO relax IN single measure necessary to
the successful vindication of the law. New
erlheless, if any man can suggest method
for The settlement of the whole difficulty
with lie honor 10 the Government, and that
will insure the integrity of tue country, and
restore the fraternal relations of The people
he will not only be gladly heard, but in
stead Of sealing his polite al death, he vii
be elevated 10 the dignity OF a saviour o
his country, and his name and memory
will be revered as long as a freeman live:
TO treasure il up in his heart.
We would suggest to these gentlemen
who are so afraid that human gore will no
be poured out 10 stain the land, a way By
which they can give more force 10 .heil
counsels, and enliile themselves 10 be heard
by the people. Let them exchange the pei
lOI lhe Illte, dhu loIn themselves 10 the dI
my, and meet on the tented field the mer
for whose blood they thirst, and then III,
people will believe that they have righ
to say whether the thing shall be settle,
without fight or not. Otherwise il will bt
thought that they are only valiant whel
other men fight their battles. and they are
themselves al convenient distance from
cannon balls and Minnie bullets.
