been the political and personal frisuds Of
the Confederate leaders-kiadred with
them for long years 10 association, procliyl
ties and aluS, They were for giving them
every concession to keep them 10 the Union,
aud to the last hour were against cosreing
them. II Is the most natural thiug in the
world that they should continue 10 have
some interest for the rebels, aud try 10

Their conduct comes directly from lhe fact
that they are all, ingreHter or less measure,
rs6si symgoihi'1s
But these Southern men-how should
they be so earnest 10 their couusell Ger
tainly they understand the rebellion better
than any Northern mau can. From lis fest.
teeSlesl breath, they have known it aud
felt il. They have watched It's growth /;
they have measured iis strength theyhave
tested its spirit and temper; they have
scanned its plans and purposes, They are
the most Intelligent OF al witnesses, the
most competent Of all judges. Aud what
is more, they have the greatest stake Ia the
speedlest aad most efectual suppression. Of
the rebellion, Their wives, their childrrn,
their home',-their all, is now under rebel
power. Whatever personal observation and
experience can do 10 the way Of euliehten=
Ing the judgment, and whatever personal
interest can do 10 the way Of stimulating 10
right conclusion, are here completely Sc
cured. Aud yet, these men teslfy With
unauimiIy hat the rebellion nsithtt can BE-,
nor ought to be, prOpitiated by compromise
OF BY lenity /, and that the only true policy,
in respect to 1t, is the thorough, uusparing
policy now proposed BY President Liueoia.
Surely, II they believed that peace add se
earity were more quickly atlainable BY
other means, they would NOT be slow TO ad
yocaIe them They have no such belief
They know that all pretences 70 that effect
are a delusion ani a snare, They com
pleiely understand the rebellion. Il is be
cause they completely understand Il that
they utterly abhOr It that they 50 earnestly
adjure Us 10 crush it without CONCESSION o
and without respite. Their conduct comes
directly from the fact that they are not
rebtl tyMyalbizsrs.
How Is II possible for the loyal freeuea
Of New York to hesitate between these op.
posIte appeals7 II is essentially quest.
Ion between the var policy and the peace
policy, the rebel-erushiug spirit and Ihe
rebel.eoustiug spirit, the Vipdication of
authority and the humiliation Of authori.

Regeneration, honor aud disgrace. Thi,
y one Of those alternatives on which 70
deliberate is TO be lost, Loyalty loses its
character in the very act Of calculating.
u Is matter which iustinet, in every true
nature viii decide. even before reason can
