Weed has rrotracted the War TIL the natona, liza e
in jeopardy. We hold that the Government shouM
strike at the root Of al our troubles, and anniList.
Slavery Tor tho salvation Of this Uuionl PIG. ~ "a
Mr.. Weed W odd adjogrp tbe conflict and patch No
settlement. We would fight the matter home aud
end it now. I. has got to he ended first or last By
the datiact conflict Of Liberty AID gIavery. The
two axe not going to live together. The attempt 70
COMPRESS them into ore Government lie ate npt to
dieide the country. We s'e for the Union. We
shall fight for enc only na,iona! government over the
original territory Of the United States. For tas.
sake, perish everything Sat binders
The Nor b was rover better prepared to 90 through
with the work. National Redemption is her work.
II is near st hand. There are bu: two methods ono
by tic omputetion Of tho Southern Ststes leaving
tho North free; and the other, BY putting the sword
to the core Of the carbuncIe Slavery. We grayeIv
fear that Mr. Weed secretly contenlp,aes The ires:
that he hopes for ieeonstrction aud that be would
postpooe tie anguish Of present conflict with q
vague hope that in the great future, there will DO
Dinito opportunity for cunning managers 70 shuttle
tie states snd make new deal, sad begin the gans
Of rGtopal LIFE again v.,
But we arc no gamblers. This continent d not
table. These States are not cards. This Federal
Government is not game. This nation p DYING be-
cause men refuse to regard IL as Vital Organize
tio1 subject to the laws of Justice and Liberty Tor
leave to live It's the human body is to tue laws Of
nature. .r.
II is not wonderful that mr. Weed dslikes The
Independent IL is an opposition creditabie TO tas
paper We are, first and last openly and for ever,
for Civil Lioery; not as the preroeative OF lew,
but az the bii.hright Of mankind. We are openly
uud to the death committed against everything thas
corrupts national justice or impedes liberty. We are
at declared and desily war with Slavery, that was
the ccrrup;er Of saat Government of which now Is
v ouid DO the asssssin; frankly. thoroughly,
and with our whole streneth the enemies Of all thss
tribe of political triflers whom Mr. Weed represents,
who bring TO the tasks of statesmauship tie pstty
crafts Of bidding politicians instead Of tue profound
principles snd manly cOunsels Of the Fathers. Be.
causc we revere tic Wasbiagtons, the Jeaersoss tie
Hamlltous, The FTanklils the PiDeLIeys, the Pick
euses, the Madisops, we dcspise the degenerate o.
springs which insult their august rnemoriss--tbs
Weeds, the Seymours, the Woods, that sgnalizs
their love of Liberty by hating it friends, that pro-
pose 10 Qpencb rebellion by sending 10 prison tho
uen that Woull crush it.
NO man ia ln.sier to-day but he Of profound faith
in Hur.an Rights, in Civil Liberty, and in The mos.
ta' dagger to any Government or Nation Of despis.
ing either Of them in the person Of lis lowess and
iaost he pless snlject. And we coun: Mr. Weeds
despair ana retirement as che Of the icioua sigus
OF better day. Tie heavens ere already brighter
bs one cloud The iess IL ia true that he mistakes
the cause. He deems himself thwarted By radicals.
II training would 20: allow him TO reach higher for

Of party management But he has tried all tie srs

hope il that fact. ALBANIA ani Pharpar will not do.
Now let the leprosy be dipped in Jordan.
When Auiunnsl fires sweep over the prairies Of
the Wea., ard hang their larld clouds fo' many
league, men are Glsd with fear, for haryests, fox
homes, and for boundaries But out Of their sshss
CONES he riches Of another year. and while sape

slou our land are rot alone fcourges-but purfics-
ticns as well.
And IL, with M. Weed, come scores more Of mcus
who, while Liberty WIS being crucihed, have been
casting lots for its garments would retire to private
life, anu 10 the cultivation of Christian grsces, they
sh,.l! have The prayers of all good mon, tLat God
