oppose all measures for the support of the
government What kind Of "peace do
you propose? How will you make it
We ask any candid person how you will
make peace--a permanent, enduring peace
in any other way than by putting down,
and crushing out forever, this rebellion OF
the slave power. Do you propose TO ae-
knowledge the independence Of the So-th?
Suppose you do, what then? Why, any
other States, whenever they become dis
satisfied, have only to revolt, seize and
steal all government money and property
within their limits, aud commence robbery
and piracy on our commerce, and we will
then acknowledge their independence, and
so on, till the government is entirely frit-
tered away. The "peace talked by the
few remaining sympathizers with the Sc
cessionists in the North, would be like max
ing peace with burglar by quietly permit
ting him to plumber your house, and then
conciliate and compromise with him
by allowing him to depart in "peace."
This monstrous and Infamous rebellion of
traitors has been brought upon the country
| by The slave power. 1t has been bred by
the system Of slavery, and is the fruit of it.
Its motto has always been rule or ruin.
This is not only seen in their treason against
the country, but in their rebellion against
the democratic party at Charleston and
Baltimore last year. The Northern de-
mocracy refused 10 be ruled by the South,
and had the audaci,y finally to nominate
| Stephen A. Douslas for president, and for
this the South Immediately rebened, and as
they could no longer rule the democratic
party, they took their next course and ruined

Such is and ever has been the dicatorial
, and domineering spirit of slavery. They
have attacked the Constitution. They are
not satisfied with the form of government
given US by our revolutionary fathers, nor
were they content even TO secede and set
up government of their own, butNmust
destroy the old government itself, and plum
der the commerce of The loyal States.
There is, therefore, no peace to be made.
