which we are utter. 70 Thus saiaiS Sen.
ator Hale in the Senate Of the United
States, before the Inauguration of Mr.
Lincoln. If we recoileet rightly, the
above were his ,veryiwords. 1t is Q
part Of public history that this was
the original intentions Of the Repuhli,
cans: to let the South go and then
erect Northern Confederacy, and
drive out the Democrats, or enough Oh
them to keep what remained ever in
the minority % sisa. TO- ,fi la-as
When they found that the North
could not be kept Republican by such
an undertaking, they precipitated the
war, in preference to q compromise
and the loss of power, though the mas
ton would have been saved thereby.
Itwas easy enough to get up a war,
butt was not 50 easy to direct it 50
as to produce the original intent of
dividing the Union and saving the
Republican party. l4-a4r .ea al,s.
They were wiling to extefminfate
the South, set the slaves free and turn
that whole region into an African
desert, but what after that was still
an enigma. But while they could get
men to fill a great army and money
to fill their Golfers, they would keep
up a show of exclusive loyalty and
love for the Union, but still public
sentiment was restiye and the war un>
satisfactory--the x-gatherers and
the official thieves unpopular, and the
sacrifice Of life horrifying, and the
people clamorcd for changes. 5a cs &
That change came in the only way
ssit could come, by the success of the
Democratic ticket in the States. In
this the Republicans see nothing but a
reunited country as the end, and the
complete success Of the Democratic
party and institutions This is the
trouble RI THE UNION. 1t viii be
"pro-slavery," as HE calls it, just as
it always was, and no more SO than it
always should have been, until the
States where slavery exists choose to
abolish it, and then they must not
send their free negroes here. That is
settled. H. ajm @ g saga
But the other trouble-still greater
more dangerous--more certain and
more fataltto the hopes of the Aboli-
tion aspirants after perpetual power
and free negro equality. 1t is this:
Mr.. Greeley has learned, not too late,
perhaps, but too well, that if Mr.. Lin
coin, after his serpontine course, dis$
reputable even to NJ policy, should
undertake to negotiate DIVISION OF
THE UNION, that the West would ut
once declare herself Independent Of
the East and make her own terms and
establish her own commercial policy,
and form her own associations. This
would draw Pennsylvania, New York
and New Jersey at once into the
league, and New England with her
high tariffs andsssuniversal Yankee no
tions" would be leftto choose what she
would then do Ito be saved" z .'.'o
The process is not only simple but
certain as fate. If this war is not put
q. stop to- and convention Of the
States called to settle these difficulties,
no power on earth can prevent this
end. 1t should have been done at
frst--nota a gun need have been fred
not man need have been sacrificed
and now after o two years war, we
have got to come to this very point
yet, or let the other plan follow Of

Nobody is rcsponsiblcafor this but
the Republicans themselves. They
alone prevented "a compromise--they
would have as Mr.. Chandler said, ,P''a
aittlc blood Lifting" They have had
sheirown way in everything. They
have sacrificed q half million Of oui
young men Of the North and West
they have squandered thewhole credit
and subsistence Of the North and West
They have made millions upon millions
