Compromise-A Word In Favor Of Peace

Il AT TINS day 1t Is something to IND word SAID
about compromise, even though that word is all
against Compromise and Peace. Hence it is that
we copy from the New York Tribune. of Friday
an article headed ''the impending Compromise" :"
and referring to what seems to be plans for an ad
justment of the difficulties now existing in the
country, and restoration of the Union. Such
plans, we are told, are already engaging the atten
ton OF prominent men of Washington and in New
York, and Notwithstanding all the Tribune may say,
will be hailed all over the aouiltry as the first
glimpse of II return to reason in cities where, ofall
others, there should be exhibitions Of GOODNESS,
judgement, patr otism and earnest desire for
Peace. We but echo the voice Of all those who
love their country and desire to the Union re-
stored, when we say that the man wko can success
lully bring about this object, without bloodshed,
whether in Congress or out, will be immortaliZed,
and have his name canOniZed on the roll with
WASHINGTON and all the other benefactors of the
human race. Bad as the temper Of the People
North and South undoubtedly is-overwrocght as
they have be by the appeals of satanic press.

ted as they have been, by constant miSrepresenta
tions Of each others political feelings and inten
tions-drlven to desperation by the destruction Of
business and all values i'm every town and city and
and State of the Union leading to want and starva-
ton and crime-still., one glad general, almost
universal shout would go up the conSummation
, of Peace. This war is unlike all others in which
we have been concerned. Hitherto, We have al
ways engaged in with foreign powers as IA
band of brothers, bound by holy desire to main
tain our rights and to stand by the honor of the
Nation at II hazards. Now, however, in the civil
war which has called forth hundreds of thou andS
of men on either side, no battle be fought which
is not sure to carry woe and lanentation all over
the country, Moth, South. East and West-for,
so blent and un ted we bv maraiage and assac-
alton, that all must suffer alike Brothers are so
placed by political feeling and connection with the
two armies, to make it almost impossible to
avoid taking each others life and so, too, of
: father and son. There end to the calamities

it to every household and that man must be
2 strangely constituted who can set down at his
desk. and compose1ly protest against a return to
peace. b'sing such opposition on political grounds
alone. The devil must reign paramount in him.
We do not know who it is that proposes to take
the initiation in this attempt to restore brOtherly
, and peaceful relations the whole Union but il
it were our worst enemy-if it were the man
against whom have 10 ght political fight for

neither just nor manly, nor christian like. it may
be productive of glorious results before the seSs-

ties should unite in promoting this work of com
promise and reconciliation, although it may MT
