CoMMENrs.-''TheS Slavery question is
a mere excuse! The election of Mr.. Lin

Convention for the purpose of settling our
present difficulties, and restoring and pre-
serving the Union. ''--Rump platform.
Comments-"The South, first by Sc
ceding, and second by firing On the flag,
has closed the door of reconciliation. l
am for meeting them on their own grouud
I would have no half way measures, no
compromises. Let US settle the thing
speedily and surely" daniel s. Dick
inson ....-
Il am speaking now Of the talk about
compromise. Traitors and rebels are
standing with arms il their hands, and is
is said that we must 60 forward and COM
promise with them. They are in the
wrong; they are making war upon the
Government; they are trying to upturn
and destroy our free Institutions. / say
to them that the compromise l have to
make under the existing circumstances is
ground your arms; obey the laws; ac-
knowledge the supremacy of the Consti-
tuition; when you do that will talk with
you about compromise. All the compro-
mise that have to make is the compro
mise of the Constitution OF the United
States. 1t is one of the best comromises
that can be made. ANDREW johnson.
"I come to the Government, and l do
not ask it as snppliant, but demand it
as Constitutional right. that you give US
protection, give US arms and munitions,
and if they cannot be got here in any
other way take them there with an inva-
ding army and deliver the people from the
oppression to which they are now sub
iectcd. ."--Apdrew johnson.
Il know no neutrality between my
country and its foes, whether they be
foreign or domestic, no neutrality be-
tween that glorious flag which floats O.
yer US, and the ingrates and traitors who
would trample it In the dust. My pray
er is for victory, complete, enduring and
overw helming to the armies of the Re-
public over all its enemies. 1 am against
any and every compromise that may be
proposed to be made under the guns OF
the rebels. Joseph Holt.
"When the government of our fathers
shall be again recognized, when the Con-
stitution and the laws to which every cit
izen owes allegiance shall be observed
ard obeyed, then will the armies of the
Constitution be disbanded, by common
impulse, in obedieace to a unanimous
popular will. Daniel S. Dickinson.
Let the rallying cry be, The suprem
acy Of the Constitution and no compro
mise with traitors but at the cannon's
mouth!' This is the popular sentiment.
While the brave soldier is facing
death on the battle. field to protect his
Government, let no man be gully of the
craven act of begging for peace from a
bastard and traitor foe. No peace is
wanted. or should be asked of the North,
short eff unconditional submission By the
rebels, to every legal obligation they owe
the Government. David Tod.
ut seems that some Of my friends are
unable to comprhend the difference be-
tween arguments in favor Of an equitable
compromise, with the hope of averting
