peace when they lay down their arms.
But there are men here who continu-

care very little about anything else.

AT the very moment when that fearful
crisis was precipitated upon the country.
partisan strife between Wings and Dem

as now between Democrats and RepubIi-

leaders in those days was quite as broad
and deep as that which now separates
the Democracy from the Republicans
but the moment an enemy rose in our
midst, plotting the dismembermento of the
Union and the destruction of the Gov

hushed In patriotic silence. One of the
brightest chapters in the history of our
country will record the fact that durinp
TINS eventtul period the great leaders of
the opposition, sinking the partisan in

Comment on the above is hardly nee

wanting these troops removed, and thus
leave the whole border exposed. But
few will doubt, we think, that the main
object was that there might be no OBJ

the incursions of the rebels and guerillss

left open, the invaders came in. Their
