TIE CONDUCT OF THE WAR.
BY JOHN. s C. ABBOTT.
WASHINGTON, Feb ~

WASHINGTON, ttb -.
2, The Editors of the Ece"iny Post:
There are two parties in Washington aud
throughout the country, taking some
wha, opposite views respecting the mode
Of conducting this war. The one party
is anxious still to conciliatc the South, and
not to strike blows SO heavy as to cxas-
peratc them beyond all hope Of rcconcii-
iaticn They think that if we make
very great show of strength, so IS to
onvince them Of the hopelessuess Of
their achieving their object by force Of
arms, aud if we can satisfy them that we
are still their friends, and have 10 dis
position, either directly or indirectly, to
interfere with their slaves, but on the
contrary are rather sposed to aid them
in holding the slaves in bondage, we may
thus regain the confidence of the So:th,
and lure them back again into the Union.
Persuasion alone will no: do this. There
must be trcmcndou. military dcsplay and
some signal victories, to convince the
sccedors Of the power OF the general
government. Aud then, when the prod
igal is starving among the swine, we
must meet him with the bet robe aud
the fatted calf Men Of undoubted pat,
riotism aud of high intelligence take
this view. 1t is uuqucstionably, in the
main, the view taken by Mcclellan.
while he is still disposed to push TIE
war with vi5pr Tor the accomplishment
Of this end.
