and here is the entel ing wedge of the scheme foI
bringing the whole continent under the rule OF
the slave Olgarchy-an alliance with the States
of the old Union. except New England, IS pro-
posed, together with free navigation of the Mis-
sissippi, and free trade; the condition only being
imposed that these Central and Western States
Of the old Union shall have no commerce and no
business relations whatever with " Abolition New
England" The general scope Of this plan is so
nearly Identical with the proposed methods OF at
tanning peace, developed in the recent speeches OF
the leaders Of the peace movement at the North,
that it is impossible to escape the conclusion that
thew are acting in coacert with the leaders OF the
rebellion in this work of breaking in fragments
the old Union, in order TO erect upon It's ruins a
Confsderacy which shall haze for the keystone
Of the arch that disgrace of the 18th century and
that stain upon American civilization, African
Slavery.
Looking at this aspect OF the conflict, and OF
political parties it is impossible not to see that
the only alternative presented, IS the triumph Of
the Government and the subjugation Of the
South, or triumph Of Jeff Davis, and an at
tempted subjugation of the North The Fer
nando Wood Democracy are ready for any
madness OF revolution, and would like nothing
better than TO march with an army Of Southern
rebels TO the subjugation OF every Northern State,
and the plumber Of every Northern city. Their
movement, SO far as the leaders are concerned, 10
not only political one, bat is ripe for revolution.
The recen, proceedings in the New York Assem-
by, and in the LlIiaois and Indiana / legislatures,
demonstrate this. #".
This is no fancied danger and il il worse than
folly to be blind TO it. And Tiers is bu. one way
of mesling it. The psople who yet hate treason,
and the Government, which mas in its hands the
resources Of the Nation and vita these resources
is fighting treason from Fredericksbufgh to Gal
weston, must fight il out. There is nothing else
TO do short Of surrender to slavery, and that will
De sternally infamous. Immediate victories would
immensely strengthen the loyal men of the North,

We haye them or not, We cannot change thS issue,
We must meet il like men, come victory or de-
feat, or be content to be written in history as n en-
who, like towards, gave up after two years
struggle the liberties which cost our fathers
the patient toll, tbs unrerni:tipg waichfansss,
the continual struggle, the pains and wounds
and deaths Of an eight years war. Shall We make
ourselves obnoxious to such terrible condem-
nation, or prove ourselves wsrthy of those who
never los; their courage, their determination and
their love of freedom through the terrible winter
at Valley FORGE Shall we surrender to Jeff
Davis, or fight il ont 2 Shall we live and die
freemen, or live and die slaves ? With ourselves
rests the answer ts these questions. Lake worthy
descendants Of the brave and courageous men who
founded for US our free Government let US re-
spond to them.
