Montpelier, May l. 1861.
jeff. Davis is villain, but a sagacious one.
He is, no doubt, making the most vigorous
preparations loT war, anu tHeTc ls Juse iS
little doubt that he is most anxiously DESTROYS
of peace. When he made his farewell speech
IN the Senate last winter, he mournfully be-
sought the Government to peaceablj suffer the
Rebels to become separate Nationality. And
in his latest message, ii day or two ago, to the
Confederate Congress, he again makes plea
for peace. lie says I" We seek no conquest
- no aggrandizement, no concession from the
free States. All we ask is to be let alone,
g that none shall attempt our subjugation by
arms
This Arch Traitor comprehends, in some
measure, the dangers that beset the path upon
which tho Rebel States have started to run their
course of Empire. lie has had partial revela-
tions Of it from the outset. He now sees the
storm gathering all over the Northern sky, and !,
reaching already past the zenith, ready to des-
cend with its lightnings and fearful hurricanes
of destruction upon Southern soil. In the ag-
ony of his terror be cries out to his conederates
to stand to their arms while he deprecatingly
calls out to the North for peace. Like the
devils mentioned in Scripture, he wishes not to
be ,ormented before his time. He asks to be
let alone.
There will never be o better time than now,
for this Government to teach traitors that there
are some things that no Government can safely
''let alone, and that one of these things is
Treason. The North is now united. 1t is civ
ing its men and its treasure without stint, IN
support of the Constitution and the Laws 1t
not only has 10 sympathy with treason, but it
hates it with daily accommodating intensity of
wrath. II now demands that the Lars shall be
ercen'ed, treason put dorm, and traitors cuter-
minated If this is not done, the Government
itself must perish.
The South has begun the war, and let her
now learn that there is no peace for her wicked
rebellion. Her cry for peace while she has arms
in her hands must and will fall upon deaf ears.
War must and will visit all her borders in all its
terrible reality. And when in sackcloth and
ashes and blood she has atoned for this her
grieyous sin when the demons, who have kindled
the flames which must burn into her living flesh.
shall receive their just reward at the end Of a
halter-then, and not till then, can the Gov
'ernment safely listen to her peniten. cry for
peace. She has sinGcd, and she must be terri.
Saly punished before she can safely be forgiven.
