Efforts of the Rebels to Make Peace
with the Western States.

The Rebels, utterly enraged and des-
perutc at the aspect of war; which grows
more gloomy, day by day, are rcsorting
to every expcdicpt to distract The councils
Of the loyal States, and stir up strife be-
tween the North and the West The
recent editorials of the Richmond and
Charleston papers, indicate that they
cherish no little hope that the Northern
faction Of olilce-hunters, supported by
such journals as the Cincinnati Eliqu.,e
and Indianapolis Sentinel may succeed in
sstracting the loyaIsts, by running OBJ
solec party organizations, whose rcsur-
recuon at the present time, can produce
nothing but mischief The following ar
Gle from the Mobile Register Of the 23d
ult, is an elaboration of the resolution
lately offered by Mr.. FoorE in the rebel
Congress, and shows how eager the rebels
are to make peace with the West. It is
a hopeless artifice, rebels the powerful
and popu'ous Northwest will never COM
promise with traitors. She is hand in
hand with New England for the destrnc-
ton Of rebellion

On Peace Again.
In former numbers ii was intended to
be shown that no peace could be expected
from the government or party in power.
as it only could be by the sacrifice of their
| pecuniary interest and the very certain
downfall of their party; and farther that
the source only from which it would come
would be the people of the Hest. Then
! could sag Nth great truth that the objects
Of the war has been entirely changed
| from what they entered into it for. II
feel no interest and haze NO i0isb ID take am
pa1t in carrying out such an object. They
doubt the bettering of the condition of
the slavery colonization elsewhere, and
fear it may end in their finding an asylum
among themselves They do not wish
them as fellow citizens. They are not
abolitionists, and have no desire to he
come so, and will take no part for such
/ purpose.
There are other reasons why they
! should Withdraw and take no part. The
present object of the war, if successful,
can be of no possible benefit to them or
any part of the other States, and can
I find no motive for continuance. but in
the vindictive feelings of the fan attic in
which they take no part. The abolition
experiment, and it cannot be regarded
as more, has cost the country an immense
d5bt aud animmense sacrifice of human
life and suffering. The,Wcst alone has sent
one hundred thousand men TO the field,
more than one half Of whom have fallen
by the bullet, or the priyations aud hard
ships of war, and large addition is or
dered by a CONSUMPTION now going on
There is no patriotism or honor that
juslilics such a call on your families for
your husbands and sons. The losses
and distress are already unreparablc
and heartrending and enough surely for
the abolition experiment, De yon really

the tariff interest Of New England, and

If correct in the reasons above given,
the West should interpose and make
