what it Means9

also cry for pesce. Their sympathizers, the ar
istocrats Of foreign lands are equally ardent in
their utterances of the same call Why is it
that al these classes 50 cordially concur in this:
It is simply because they agree, though not for
the same reasons, in . desire for the fnsl dis
ruption of the Union. Peace is merely another
word for Dis union. The traitors can have
"peace" if they will lay down their arms, and
submit to the laws Of the country. They know
this % we'll as We. But that does not suit them.
They require of Us that We withdraw our armies
from the South, that We acknowledge their in
dependence,-that We submit 10 the dissolution
Of the Union. That is what they mean when
they say "peace"
The Tories of the North mean the same thing.
Vallandigham has proposed this from bis sest
in Congress. The Tory leaders in the Legisla,
lures of Indiana and Illinois make the same pro.
position. They propose Withdrawing our armies
from the South, and an iguominious surrender
of the National existence at the armed requisi.
ton of traitorous slave.drivers. In this direc.
ton all this class of men, in every part Of the
North, 60 just az far Is they dare.
The infamy Of the purpose is only equslled by
that of that of the motive which induces it's
manifestation. They have an insane hope that
out Of the dissolution Of the Union, party tri.
mph may be obtained, and that eventually great
slave natisn may be erected out Of it's ruins
The pro slavery men Of the North Imagine that
their interests will be advanced by acknowledge,
ing the supremacy Of the South, and by cutting
of enough States to make that supremacy com.
plete and perpetual. They are go base Is to
think such subserviency will induce the South to
take them in as partners, and treat them a.
equals! They forget all the time that major.
ity of the people in all the Northern States will
never submit to the rule of either Northern or
Southern traitors; that Slavery is under ban, in
Ill the free States. and that any Union Of any Of
these with the South, if dissolution be once i'd.
mitted, is simple impossibiity.
The insidious policy of the Tory leaders, has
doubtless deceived great numbers Of honest men.
They have been led to believe that peace might
be restored on terms consistent with the honor
of the Nation. The professions of men who talk
90 much abous the rights of the citizen, have
deluded vast numbers. But these are already
discovering their deception. The traitorous
purposes OF these political swinders is beginning
to be understood by the large mass of those who,
while they loved the Union, still thought these
democratic leaders were honest in sheir declara--
tions, and alone were able TO save 1t. When
these men once make up their minds that they
have been purposely bstsayed-shat these men
ere the allies Of the traitors, and arc striving to
sell out the Union and its loyal people, there is
likely to be another uprising in the North, which
will cause the scoundrels to tremble with terror,
aud Zee, in dismsy, from the wrath Of An out
ragged people. The people want peace, no doubt
But the. number is small Who desire such peace
- the Tories end the Traitors are vainly striving
to give to them. ,sa ss IA
Let all these villains. who imagine they can
rise to power on their country's ruin, beware in
season. The eyes Of their deluded followers are
fast being opened to their Infamous designa It
will require but few more developments of their
treason, to bring down upon them wrath, 90
crushing, thorough, and terrible, that it will
prove an example and warning to men Of like
character for all time to come.
