restoration of the old order of things.-
Their ruling chiefs do not desire restoration:
they demand separation. We're the Fed
eral Government TO offer them any terms
OF compromise short of this, it would be-
tray such decentralization aud discourage
ment, that they w' uld reject it with scOrn,
and Imperiously insist upon unconditional
independence. But, were such a restora-
tIon possible, it would be intolerable. A
restoration of the Union "as it was"

the slavery propagandists, with all their ar

events have tOppled them down. And,
worse than all, every element that has here

rebellion, to war, to separation, would have
become intensified thousand fold by the
present conflict. Do you revolt at this p
BE assured the chieftains who rule public
opinion in the Southern Confederaey will
never voluntarily return to the Union on
any terms but these-if, indeed, they will
return at all. Therefore, the only alterna-
tiVes are, subjugation or separation. Hence
1t IS, tellow-cItiZens, that ali talk about un-
conditional restoration, is little less than
treason. Whatever Is done at the North

hope am mistaken in my prognosuca-
tions. To me the present is full of doubt
and the future shrouded in gloom. Unless
there be radical change in our policy,
cannot concur in the opinion that the re-
belliou is near its end, and the war about
to close. The rebels are terribly in earnest.
They have staked their all upon the issue.
They loathe the idea OF a renewed connex-
ion with those whom they bate with the
venom of fiends. Knowing that for the
last half century they have always TIL
umphed in every conflict with the North, |
they will now fight us to the bitter end
We may sneer at Davis recent vaunt that,
though Richmond fall, the war can be con-
tinued even in Virginia for twenty years.
But have an abiding belief in the endur-
ing quality of the malignity that inspires
him and his co-conspirators. Were NC
CIellan to occupy Richmond tomorrow,
Davis would address his broken columns In |
words not unlike thOs of his great proto-
type when hurled from the battlemenis OF
heaven into the fiery gulf below. Address
ing them in Miltonic phra e, be would say
What though the field be lost

And study of revenge, immortal hate
