tite for thirty or forty day? II 90, you
need never talk about getting your armies
together again, Aud what would be the
next step? Tho next step. inevitably
would be to establish a boundary. How?
Where? a boundary line between tho
bogus confederacy Of the Sohth and the
loyal States Of the North North. What
line? Have you considered where tlatline
Shall be? Would You make the Potomac
the line; and throw all Of Virginia, Mary
land, Kentuck5, and Tennessee into the
hands of the corrupt leaders Of bastard
GOVERNMENT Would you pass over the
Capitol, and abandon This place, sacred
as it has been made by the assembling
within its walls OF the best men who ever
drew the breath of life, from Washington
and his compeers down ? Would you
make the Chesapeke Bay and the Sus'
qushanna the line9 Ifyou grant 4 peace
or declare in armistice, depend upon it
the establishment Of a line will be tho
next step i'd the programme.
Then would arise that great question,
whether the Northwest would consent to
unite her destinies with Pennsylvania,
New York, and New England.
New England has been made the sub
ject Of reproach. She has her Faneuil
Hall, which, in the days Of the Re1olu.
ton, responded to the House Of Burgess.
She has Bunker Hill and Lexington, and
her history Is united with all the glori-
Gus deeds Of the past. Becatise some Of
her people may have acted under fanati:
cal impulse, we are therefore to displace
her from the chart Of American States.
Then arises the question, surprising
that the Ohio was established as the line,
how long would yoar peace list? Abont
as long as the peace Of Amisns, or the
peace Of Tilsit, and more fatal In Its CON
sequences than the peace which followed
the dismembernent Ahd DESTRUCTION Of
Poland. N
prophesy; sir that if yoti establish d
boundary line betweeti the North and the
South, betweeii free labor and slave labor,
it will not be preserved for six MONTHS
1t is shrinking from our Responsibility,
and postponing to our poststity that which
we should meet and dispose OF Ourselves.
LSt us meet this great question How If
three hundred thousand lives Of our best
young men have been sacrificed, let tis
sacrifice three hundred thousand more II

make that sacrifice now, ten thousand
time over; than TO make dishonorable

This talk about peace is delusite hope
now. 1t is said that desire for peace

foundation for that belief. Take the New
