Council Bluffs bugle. [volume] (Council Bluffs, Iowa) 1860-1868, 1862-06-18

We believe that the rev IofA SfsoH@s
has from the commencement Of the seces-
xiou al States from the Union, baen an
ssivoeate and asaerser Of shs right OF Sc
eession. In the issue Of the l4sh ults il
sakas decided ground In favor Of this
right. ~ will be ssen from the following |
extracts &rom its editorial apon that
sabjsst:
awe have stsadfassIy affirmed and up.
held Mr. Jshzsonas doctrines en- bodied
ia the Declaration Of American fndepen-
denes, of the right Of revolution. We
have insisted that, where this right is as
serted, and its exercise issprePsrly at
tempted. it ought not to be necessary to
subject all concerned to the woes and
horrors Of civil war. Ia eahsr. words,
What one party has righs TO DO, another
ean have no right to resist. And We have
urged that, had the great mass OF ths
gansfern psopla really dasiSea . dssaolu-
lion of the Union and been willing 10 ex-
eYeise a reasonable patience, their end
might have been obtained without dsSaa-
tation and carnage; for we, With thous-
sn3s Of more in the North, would have
done all in our power to incline cur fed
ID low-eitix ems to defer 70 their request and
let them go in peace"
Nov We would Like to know, If this be
the doctrine of the Trtbuns, upon what
ground that paper advocates the vigor-
ous prosecution Of the present civil war,
which is so full of "woes and horrors ~
SIN other Words" if the South had
aawAs 10 ssoeds, by what night does the
North ssrasiss and subject all eonsaaned
90 the woes and horror Of civil war 2''
We call attention TO this article Of the
Tribuns's. because it's prastics is SC
iiamstrisally opposed to its pEeaehing.-
The Trib4as goes on 10 announce IL
course, should the editor be aligs and ths
Pacific States propose to secede from th'
Union. Here IL what be says upon tha
point:
snow should the time arrive in oul
day when the great body Of the people O
oar Pacific States shall say deliberately
kindly. firmly, to those of this side Of III
Rocky Mountains: sIau arc stEonge
than we-oider, more wealthy, more pow
grful,-but We ask yoa TO let Us go; TO
we believe we can do bettsr by ourselve
than with you've viii respond, ant
urge others TO respond, $50 in peace, an'
Heavens blessing attend your VS. be
lleva that this is the right, the wise, tn
Christian answer, to such request, an
thai the world sill Jet perceive and rec
egnize the truth"
Here the editor lays down the promise
that when 9 portion of the Union become
satisfied that it can do better By itself
and says to the balance, ''you are stronge
than we-oIder, mora wealthy, NOR
powerful, but we ask you to let Us go
for we believe &c can do better By our
selves than with you've will Eespon
20 in peace. We beliEs that this is tn
right, the MISE, the CHRISTIAN answer
to such request" Now the South di
all this; yet strange to say, Greeley wa
one of the fercest for the prosecution o
the war-so much so that be had to as
pardon Of his Abolition associates for hi
Insane CRY of "0n to Richmond" whic

its first great defeat.
If Greeley is correct, ia it treason /

use their influence to have stop put
the present war, which Is spreading dt
yastation over both the North and South
and causing the land to drink the bloc

We can answer this question. A grea

and seem TO think that their mission upo
