" country, sustain the Government, and not
F." think of withholding men or means until
/" the nation has asserted it's independence of
9 organized mobs, and its power to crush this
great conspiracy. We are for the party
" which inscribes on its banner, No COM
promise-no delusive cry Of peace !; the ma
" tion shall be preserved. Whoever subscribes
this doctrine is Of our party, are care not
"aOhat political name he has borne heretofore,
" or achat one he proposes to bear"
He who cannot support candidates upon
such platform is certainly not Republic
can, is certainly not loyal citizen. The
man who would cry peace now is as much
Tory or traitor to his country as was the
peace party of the Revolution, or of the War
of 1872. They were called Tories then, and
we call the peace men Of 1861 by the same
name, and can have no afiliation with them.
Republicans of Centre to work then for our
glorious principles, and the best Government
the world ever saw. Be up and doing, and
let the convention on Wednesday evening
next be complete success. Let your war
cry be as above the Uuion, the constitution as
ais, and the enforcement Of the lascs.
"Let the people stop-let thom pause and RE-
Fleet !! The present involves she future, and
wesheuld not rush madly, blindly on to utter des
truction. 'WAR IS DIsUNIoN. WAR IS FINAL,
ETERNAL SEPARATE for every blow that is
struck but adds new fuel to the blaze of bitter
hatred. Stop, then, we entreat you, and think
The happiness of future generations depend upon
your course, and as as there is God in
Heaven, continuance of this war will destroy
forever, the Union of these States.- Watchman.
Yes, Stop, think, reflect Hot-headed,
biack-hearted traitors have been cOncocting
plans for the last half century, for the dese
truction of our Union. These plans have
been completed and are now being carried
out. Our Union has been dissolved by the
secession of Southern States these States
have formed a Confederacy and the people
of this so-called Confederacy are up in arms
against the Government. They have stolen
our property and murdered our citizens >
they have broken the laws and defed the
authorities who endeavored to enforce them.
They desire to be "let alone" in their ras-
eality, and why should the men of the North
or the Government object to it-certainly it
is nothing but the enjoyment of their South
ern Rights Why should we not compro-
mise quick, and acknowledge at once that
the Republican form of Government is a bad
form and ofno avail to the country in an
our of peril, that. the people are not capable
of governing themselves. Stop, pause, re-
fleet and let the rebels go Oh in their bel
lish work. Stop, pause. reflect and les the
rebels take Washington let them gain the
ascendency in the North as we'll as in the
South, "War is dis.union. War is final
Eternal separation" And to let these reb>
els 60 unpunished is disunion, separation,
destitution, dishtnor, disgrace, defeat, and
death to the greatest government on earth.
Abraham Lincoln, stop, pause, reflect
Gen. Scott, pause and think Congress, do
not permit this thing to 60 any further !
Call an extra session, for thinking! Don't
carry on this "unholy war;" against the
wishes of the Watchman Oh Mr.. Lin
coin, call the soldiers together and fell them
to hurry home, that it has been decided that
"War is Disunion. War is fnal-eternal
separation" Northern men for the sake of
humanity, don't stand up against rebellion
any longer get right down, on your knees
and lick the dust off the feet of traitors. Let
them keep what they have and give them
all they want. Compromise on any terms,
| Let then have anything they want-if your

| do not dare to maintain them-for if you do
| the war will continue, and the Watchnaan
says "as snre as there is God in Heaven a
continuance of the war will destroy, forever
the union of these States. "Let the people
