HIIALL WE C0NCILTATE9

Here are 6lnEcrS WHO can never be t0T:1tV-
CT. Tic history Ct mankind shows us no
one Instance IN which Il government choose,
freely and unfo1ccd, to yicll to rebellion,
;ad compromise with traitors, however
ctten it may be, that rebels have proved
themselves the strongest, and treason has |
ir1umphed. To compromise, parley, OF
negotiatc with rebellion, Is proof conclu-
sive that the government has not the pow
er 10 crush it. All talk about the policy, |
humanity, OF wisdom, Of putting an end |
to the devastation and bloodshed Of war,
is not worthy Of moments hearing, and |
is secuted by all men save those who be-
]icye that the rebellion is stronger than the |
government, Or those who are in league |
with Tic rebels.
War is doubtless terrible scourgc, and |
every human heart rccoils from its cruel |
tits and horrors. 1t is also dreadful
thug 10 See dcsolaticn, ruin and death
spread through the fields and homes of
our own coun'rymen, by Our o1n hands:
but to let any feelings Of sympathy CT pity
stay the uplifted arm, or break the aycng-
ing blow, before the traitors have for
saken their treason, and while the
rc.cls arc still striking at the life Of the
nation, we're to be guilty Of most un-
zl,cakable folly, and to incur guilt darker,
il Iusslb1e, than that OF treason ITSELF
Tttre can bc no doubt Of this, Tor this re-
btlliou is struggling to destroy the only
free popular government on earth. Itaims
TO cxunguisl for ever all the hopes Of n1an
| III Republican Institutions. Hence i: is
that this rebellion has the warm SYM
ratby, ard open or covert help, Of all the
rscmics Of human rights and popular gov
crnrcnt the world over. The triumph Of
| secession is the division and rum Of the
lcnublic. The men who arc e Citing for
the Tuion, are fighting for the great cause
cf human rights and trca institutions; aud
it would be far better that every Southern
rehc1 were blown from the lace Of the
ing ruin tlan that This hord Of ups,ar.
slave lords, banded with the dc5pots
aud aristocrats Of Europe, should over
throw the great fabric Of free government
There is not an injured and oppressed
nun anywhere on earth, who has not 4
dccr interest in the triumph Of the Union ;
willie tho triumph OF the rebellion woull
put back the redemption Of the race for
long generations. This Union and consti-
tuition are the support and defense Of hui
man freedom and equal rights the world
ovcr. If they perish, slavery and opprcs-
sion will be the lot Of the people, in both
Europe and America.
The progress Of the human race; all ol
equality and freedom which cur fathers
have won by cruel sacrifices and bloody
struggles; all that has been gained in ali
the past 10 make men frce, aud d people
great; all tho hopes that they may here
after remain free and great; all ars
staked on the issue of this conflict
THERE'S nothing demanded Of these traitor
save tl,at they lay down their arms, giy<
r up their foul and wicked conspiracy ag1ins
Il freedom, and become free and equal citi
$ zcrs under the best government on earth
+ To keep up his atrocious war on sath ::
government, and III such spirit Of wicked
ness and fu1y, struggle to destroy. thi
: nation, and bury in its ruins all the hope
T. Of tie world, is q crime Of such guilt an'
u s:roclty, that no punishment can be to
J; terrible for it These rebels are the cncnie
Is Of the human race They fight again:
Is the rights Of man. They wish to cxtinuis
y freedom. They strike at NIL which is fail
5 est Highest, and most sacred on cartl
r Their fate should be 50 terrible, that til
le orp1cssors Of mankind will tremblc vhe
C they hear Of it. Their punishment AL
& doom should be 50 appalling, that me
r will hcnccforth recoil from defending slay,
IL IT, as frrm ruin; and shun all the paths til,
