peace party in the Northern Congress, de- |
Iiyered recently speech looking to the
termination of the war, and as his views
are probably those. of the peace party, in
the North, they have more thar usual sig<
nifcance, and are entitled to more thania
mere notice.
"In his speech Mr. Vallandigham, so
far from assenting to the Seward Lincoln
doctrine of the North, and that there is an
!" irrcpressible conflict between slavery
and free labor, eontende1 that the funda-
mental idea of the Constitution is the per-
feet and eternal compatibility of a Union
I of States, part slave and part free; and
| that snch Union was the strongest of all
possible governments. He conteuded that
nothing kept the North and South apart
| now but hate antagonism and revenge,
| and that war heats those passions seven
times hotter, and while it lasts re union
cannot commence. The subjugation of
bthe South be regarded as impossible. If
the country was really tired of the war,
and thought enough blood had been shed,
and misery inflicted, he would make the
following proposition : stop fighting, make
an armistice, but not final treaty /; with
draw the Federal army from the Seeded
Estates and reduce the military establish
I,nents of both sections to a peace basis, de-
clare free trade between the North. and
! South, agree upon Zollverein, recall the
g. fleets, terminate the blockade, restore trav-
tel, and do allsthings as before the war.
I "Mr. Vallandigham denied thatthis wa:
formal recognisioE but informal, as was
the exchange of prisoners, flags of truce
8 &c. If it confessed disunion, it was only
as the surgeon, who sees fractured lint
81 to heal it, admits that it is broken. Th'
4 government has failed to crush out the re
belion, and would always fail. He ap-
proved of meditation AS a means of sus-
pending hostilities, but objected to arbi-
tration. s*#4 f -

An Example for Youth.

A little boy in destitute circumstances
was put out as an apprentice to a mechan-
ic. For some time he was the youngest
apprentice, and of course had to 90 upon
errrands for the apprentices, and not IN!
to procure for them ardent
spirits, of which all, except himself, par7r
took. because, as they said, it !. did them
good. He, however, used none; and, in
consequence of it, was often the object of
severe ridicHie from the older apprentices,
because, as they said, he had not sufficient
manhood to drink rum. And as they
were reveshng over their poison, he, under
their insults and cruelty, often retired and
vented his grief in tears.baBut now every
ore Of the older apprentices, we are in
formed, is a .drunkard, or in the drunkard's
grave; and this youngest apprentice, at
whom they used to scoff, is sober aud, re :
spectacle, and worth a hundred thousand
dollars. In his employment are about one
hundred men, who do not use ardent spir-
its; and ise1erting upon many thou
sands an influence sin the highest degree
salutary, which may transmitted bytheni
to future generations, and be the means;
through grace, Of preparing multitudes not
only for usefulness and responsibility on
earth, but for an exceeding and eternal
weight of glory. o..a .' & ',l
