The people OF the Fast are completely
weary Of the war and desires peace, though
this peace be connected with conditions
ever so shameful The conviction is SO
deeply rooted that we cannot beat the
Southern army; that, on the contrary,
our troops cannot make a stand against
those o: the Confederate States; that it is
useless to couipue sGll farthsr the waste
of blood; that the Republican party, after
prolongaton of probation, has proven
itsef incapable to administer the affairs
of this country, and that the Democratic
party alone understands how to holdthe
reins; that Lincoln is Il weak old woman,
and renders our, Guvernment ridiculous,
that we can end The war only by !eatn.
PROMISE. and that hence sa!yatloa and re-
dempton are only torbe hoped for from
the Democratic party. The hatred against
