HOW A PEACE PROPOSE E1OE WAS
RECEIVER


GOV. Stan1y, the representative Of the
authority Of the Federal Government in
North Carolina, is one Of the most "con-
scrvative" Of the pro-slavery Union men.
Very recently, probably by the consent of
the President, he sent a friendly messenger
20 Coy. Vance Of that State, a warm per
sonal friend and the most moderate Of all
scccssionistssasking Aim (Fancs) to meet
him (stanN) or commissioners whom he
would appoint, to arrange If possible some
plan by which the State could be brought
hack into the Orion. Out Of such con-
junction Of conservatism On one side and
moderation on the other, one might sup
pose that some proposition for reconstruc-
ton would be developed. But the answer
I've ask the peace men hereaway to study
ilD was curt and peremplory: Governor
Vance would have nothing to say 10 Gov.
Stan1y. except upon the basis Of Federal
recognition Of the Independence Of the Sc
ceiing States. There the negotiation end
cd. 1t went far enough, however, to prove
WAL NC AA ~ nA AAons5 <9S$AtSAs lAnl Culu-
promise is impossible and reconstruction
an absurdsty. If these two men, who hare
I1ays cooperated politically, and who are
perhaps nearer together than any other
mon who can be found, enc in each Of the
opposing forces, both natives and citizens
Of North Carolina, cannot even talk Of an
arrangement unless tie Government first
grants the EXTREMIST demand Of the rebels,
when, we ask, will A1r. Lincoln and JEFF
Davis, or their commissioners, be able to
agree upon q plan by which reconstruction
of any kind, snort Of Northern acceptance
Of the Confederate constitution, be posi-

city will be able 10 leu u.s.

srcridation By their remembrance Of the
thousand Gelusive promises that they haye
made 10 the people. How to reconcile

how bang the rebels who instigated the

weight to the evidence against the accused

asking him questions about his business, prof
