The ChieAss Times striyiags ssill 70 impress

90 teachings, that the elections are triumph
OF It, followers, and sagely stating "what II
means, " among other things, says:
1T means that II, after the rebellion shall be
put down BY the military power, any fair meas
ures Of compromise shall be necessary to restore
perfect and lasting peace between the North and
the South, such measures shall be granted BY
the Morrill,
We call attention to this statement We have
constantly asserted that the miserable dsstards
and scoundrels Who control that and kindred ps
pers, we're in favor Of scceding to any demand
the Southern traitors might make. Nov, the
sole question between the North and the South
is the Slave question. The South has always
been striving 70 make Slavery co>extensive with
the Union. The North has opposed them 10 this,
insisting that It was merely sectional and local,
and that it should not be extended any further.
Here Vas the issue between the two sections
The South, finding that it could not prevail in
its dsmnable purpose of making the Union .
Nation of Slave-drivers, has rebelled, and is en-
deavcring to establish . new government and .
new nationality, whose corner stone theysnnounce
to be negro slavery. The patriotic people Of the
North propose maintaining the Union and the
Constitution in all their integrity They intend
to put down the rebellion; and after it 10 finally
suodued, they don't propose doing anything or
making any compromise with traitors they would
not have done or made before tho rebellion
broke out They do not intend, however much
the towards Of the Times may desire II, to
concede anything to the traitors who have
plunged the country into civil var. They do
not expect to make Slavery the corner stone Of
the Union They mean that the Nation shall
rest upon the foundation of human liberty-that
liberty which the traitors have already trampled
under their feet, as the Times would do in the
North if it could. ,-sa
The North, under the guidance and domino
ton of pretended democrats, had, before the
rebellion broke out, already conceded too much
to the oligsrchs Of the South. No further con-
cessions can be made without acknowledging
them as our masters and confessing ourselves
their cowardly serfs. The man who wishes to
make any concession, under the plausible pre-
tence Of . "fair compromise" has less manhood
in him than was ever charged upon . negro al
ready under the lash. We have tried that game
to the bitter end. It has ended in civil war
Our 90 called compromises have only brought
upon rs still more outrageous demands, and
filed the slave-drivers with an Unsuitable AFRO
gance. We have had enough, and more than
enough, Of it. We propose now to fight the
matter QUITO settle the question forever
When "the rebellion shall be put down by the
military power" We expect to punish the guilty
nstgators Of the foul treason, and to restore the
residue to their rights as citisens under the Con.
stitution. If that is not moderation enough for
any one, be had better get out Of the country
speedily, for be may rest assured that it is the
most he will obtain.
