the feasibility Of. mediation at present
lie contends that what is wanted In or

that each party be brought to apprehend
its real interest. When that is seen moth

To President Lincoln
The crisis of the war and our national
existence is upon US. The time has come
for the adoption of more decisive meas
ures. Greater Animus and earnestness must
be infused into our military movements.
blows must be struck at the vital parts OF
the rebellion. The Government should
employ every available means compatible
with the rules of warfare TO subject the
traitors. Summon TO the standard of the
Republic all men willing to fight for the
Union. Let loyalty and that alone be the
dividing line between the nation and its
foes. Menials should not be permitted
TO fritter away the sinews Of our brave
men in guarding the property Of traitors
and in driving back into their hands loyal
blacks who offer us their labor and seek
shelter beneath the Federal flag. Shall
we sit supinely by and see the war swecp
off the youth and strength of the land and
refuse aid from that class of men who are
at least worthy foes of traitors the
murdercrs Of our government and Of our
children.
Our armies should be directed to for.
age on the enemy and to cease paying
traitors and their abettors exhorbitant
exactions for food needed by the sick or
hungry soldiers. Mild and conciliatory
means have been tried in vain to recall
the rebels TO their allegiance. The CON
servative policy has utterly failed TO re-
duce traitors to obedience and TO restore
the supremacy of the laws. They have
by means of sweeping conscriptions gath
cred in countless hordes and threaten to
beat back and overwhelm the armies of
the Union. With bloody treason in
their hearts, they Haunt the black flag of
rebellion in the face of the Government
and threaten to butcher our brave and
loyal armies with foreign bayonets. They
arm negroes and msrciless savagcs in their
behalf.
Mr. Lincoln, the crisis demand greater
efforts and sterner measures. Proclaim
anew tho good old motto of the Republic
Liberty and Union, now and forever,
one and inseparable" -and accept the
services of all loyal men. and it viii be in
your power to stamp armies of the earth,
inestimable armies, that will bear our ban
ners to certain victory in any event.
Illinois, already alive with the beat of the
drum and rcsounding with the tread of
new recruits, will respond to your call -
Adopt this policy, and she will leap like
a flaming giant into the fight. This pol
icy for the conduct of the war will render
foreign Intervention impossible. 1t will
bring the conflict to speedy close and
secure peace on permanent basis.
