Northern phlegm, by surrounding himself
with men whose ~ill-gotten gains, making dis
honesty and loyalty profitable, cause disloysl

he has disgraced his sex, for not even women

Mr.. Chase's document 10 the most elaborate
peace document the crisis has called forth.
I0 70 on with the war, be shows us, we must
have about two thousand millions of debt; es-
tabliaha huge National bank, suppress the
State banks, in short, consolidate The States
into one grand Federal despotism. To the
army Of 100000 men ahder the command Of
the Federal Executive, with the sword, we are
urged now toAdd q gigantic bank, holding and
disbursing about q thousand millions a year.
Federalism is thus, to become consolidation.
We call this a peace document, because every
true patriot must see that peace is indispensa-
10 bic 20 the preservation of our individual liber.
ties. No men can be freemen with a million
of men and a thousand millions Of money,
annually, in the same hand. Fortunately for

The most splendid army OF the world with
