No. There will be no compromise with rebels and
traitors except at the cannons mouth. The American
people will make no peace with the enemies of popular
liberty until the leaders Of this infamous rebellion are
hanged, and all who have voluntarily engaged in it
are severely punished by banishmen and the confsca
fon of their property Treason must be made such an
expensive luxury that citizen hereafter can ever
afford to indulge it. The lesson must last our nation
iis lifetime.
