PROPOSALS FOR STOPPING THE
WAR

The semi secession journals of this city
| for none Of them dare to be much more than
this-are occupied with exhortstions TO the
Administration not to push the war too
far. The Journal Of Commerce, for EXAM
pie, publishes proposal that the President
should Immediately issue proclamation
"ofering satisfactory terms of adjustment, :"
promising the Shareholders that their pecu-
liar institution shall be religiously preserved
and protected, and that "no further inter-
ference with the domestic slavery of the
South by northern Incendiaries" shall be
allowed, if they Will only consent to come
back into the Union. The government and
Congress must endeavor ''by every act to
win the favor aud good opinion of the
South" and "prove that no abolition ad-
ministration holds its reins, and so forth.
The Journal thinks that If the slavehol-
ders were only satisfied of this, they would
turn against themselves and undo their own
work. Here are its words
"The hope of the Union is that the influence
Of Abolitiorism may be 90 thoroughly overcome
that the South will be willing to make q revolu
tion again and overcome their own revolt
Ii strikes us that Stiffness can 20 no fur
ther than this. Ii is the Shareholders OF the
South that are the authors of rebellion. The
pretext for it was the interests Of slavery,
which they pretended were attacked by the
Republican party, nd were incompatible
with the sscendancy of that party. The
new government OF the Southern Confede-
racy is, as they proclaim, founded on the
