HOW TO END THE WAR,

the South threatened to destroy the Union |
that the true policy vas, if they desired |
to let them 60; and that any |
coercion was as wrong in principle, as it
must prove disas trous in practice, 4
much larger number have believed, aud
the opinion is still entertained by many
people, that this evil war can be terminated
at any time by our eonsenting to separa-
ton, acknowledging the independence Of
the Southern Confederacy, and arranging
8 treaty Of peace and smity with the
new nation On our Southern border.
Those, who hold this view, regard there
fore the continuance Of this terrible conflict
With all its loss of treasure and life, as main
u owing to the persistent and unyieldiug
determination of loyal men to hold the
asgrieyed and unwilling South in the
Union; and they begin to inquire whether,
as the task Of keeping the States united
and holding our fierce and refractory mem
be,s together is so difficult and bloody, it
would not be better to let the rebels hare
their own way, go out and set up for them
seiyes, and thus secure d return Of peace
and good neighborhoodf Il is also be
iieyed By many that, however long this
war may be kept up, it is in the power OF
the Union at any time to end it by letting
tne seeding States 60, and that the confed-
cracy will gladly, at any time that We show
our wish to stop the conflict By asserting
10 their separation, join us in negotiating
fir fair ard permanent peace. AL that
tlc South demands, it is said, is to be let
alene; and so soon as the North makes up
it's mind that it cannot overcome the
South, and its efforts to do it, all wars and
conflicts will cease betweea US.
To us it Is very clear that all these views
are most delusive, and the men vino hold
tlcn1 are cherishing most dangerous and
fatal error. There will never again be any
permanent peace between the North an!
the sou:n, if tits rebellion is allowed By
our stupidity or weakness, to carr
out its schemes, and establish its indepen
