soldier bill:, s.
Mr.. Speaker, let me now turn 70 another
feature Of this BIN, th6 term Of enlistment.
It provides for the Enlistment Of men Tor .
period Of .fvs yssrs. why foe ySsrsP
think there more Significance 10 that word
"fve" In this bill than in al other words
written INIT. It's possible objects are mel
written. Do you mean to say 10 the coun-
try that It is your expectation, your rsa-
sonable expectation, and the basis on v hich
you propose to make enlistmsnts for your
army that thisasns is to continue FOR Pc
Rod of five years longer? Do you mean to
say to the country shat on this vast ecals on
which the warts prosecuted, and at the ex-
pense OF treasure sud life at which u Is
prosecuted, you expect to carry it on. for
fvsyears more?5 Ifksdch be your expscts-
ton, tits justfpd manly to say so. II such
be not your expectation, pray add nothing
to the anxiety and alarm of the people.
MT Speaker If the object Of thiS4Esr is
restoration, that involves a state otthiDgs,
present or future, which will soon be:deyel-
oped and felt. A WARRIOR restoration pro-
cseds Upon the ground that you will find in
the rebel States, as your army adVapces and
protection is made possible, men who ere
ready toirally again under the blessed flag
OF the Union snd EoSreturn to their galleEi
ance to the national Government, If that
feeling exists and Is developed, Certainly it
willber dave Hoped before the. lapse Of Eve
years; never indeed, by this instrum entality,
never. But if the object Of this war is pot
restofatiohT iftheS purpose and object of
this war AREAS is sometimes declared lin
the heated and brilliant rhetoric gentlemen
on your left-su bjugstion, determination,
the re-colonization of the whole rebel ter
ritory, then your term of enlistment is al
together too short-altogether too short.
II, Mr.. Speaker, the object be extermina-
ton, there is not one of these pages, snatch
ed prematurely from his mothers arms or
cradle, who will live to see the end. You
have been waging the war two years, and
yet the number of inhabitants in the rebel
States to- day is larger than it wasWben the
war begun. You cannot, probably, if you
would, and you would not if you could,
carry on q war with fierceness and severity
that would destroy life as rapidly as it ger
inmates. f0 lD-G|JIfFE 'T'
Men, in war even, will marry and women
be given in m arrisge; children will be born
to them, and their m others will hold them
to their flowing breasts as the storms sweeps
by. The angel of life will triumph over
the angel of death. Such is the blessed
economy of God. The determination Of
eight. millions of people, with the use of all
our power and all our resources, is a moral
and physical imposs;bility. OF this wsr,it
it is carried on for determination, neither
you nor i, Mr.. Speaker, may hope to see
Its close but in one way, to US the way of
deepest humiliation; the Intervention of
other nations, to stay its ravsges. Who
talks of A-war. OF determination iS simply
