traitor vision, tho way TO reunion on suelfe
basis SOC ms perfectly clear. lIoar bin do

"And now the way TO reunion: what
so easy? Behold today two separate
governments in one country, and without
natural dividing line with two Presi-
dents and Cabinets, and double Con-
gress and yet each under Constitution
so exactly similar, the one 10 the other,
that stranger could scarcely discern the
difference. Was ever folly and madness
like this Sir, It is not in the nature OF
things that il should so continue long.
But why speak OF ways or terms of re-
/ union now The will is yet wanting in
both sections. Union is consent and good
will and frsternal affection. War is force,
hate, revenge. Is the country tired at
last OF war Has the experiment been
tried long enough Has sufficient blood
I bean she'd treasure expended and misery
inflicted in both the North and the South?
What then ? Stop fighting. Make an
armistice-no formal treaty. Withdraw
! your army from the seeded Statea. Re-
1 duce both armies TO fair and sufficient
1 peace establishment. Declare absolute
trade between the North and South Buy
I and sell. Agree upon zollverein. Re-
call your fleets. Break up your blockade.
Reduce your Navy. Restore travel
! Open up railroads. Re-establish the tel
egraph. Reuui;e your express companies.
No more Monitors and iron elads, but set
your friendly steamers aud steam ships
again in motion. Visit tie North and
West. Visit the South. Exchange news
papers. Migrate. 1ntermary. Let sla.
very alone. Hold elections at the ap-
pointed times. Choose new President in
, 1854. And, when the gospel of peace
shall have descended again from heaven
into their hearts, and the gospel OF aboli-
ton and hate been expelled, let your
clergy aud churches meet again in Christ
ian intercourse, North and South. Let
the secret orders and voluntary associa-
tions everywhere meet as brethren once
more. In short, give 10 all the natural
and all the artificial causes which impel
/, us together, their fullest sway. Let time
!. do his oifice--dryiRg tears, dispelling sor-
! rows, mellowiDg passion, and making herb
, and grass and tree 20 grow agnin upon the
: hundred batllefelds Of this terrible war.
!, Without commenting upon this extract
, which noeds no comment to make its 10
iquity more apparent, wo turn now from Mr.
, Vallandlghom to the men in whose bohal
he speaks, and will lot them answer him
upon the question of o.constrnction. -
And, FIRST hear bis master, jeff Davis, who
in speaking of the people of tho North
says;
"Lot no man hug tho dolusion that there
can DO renewed association between them
and us.
This exploit and emphatic assertion OF
the determination of tho Rebels mover again
to associate with Northern mon, coming
from so high source, should be sufficient
,, But, as moro of the same import may b
noetled to convince the followers of Mr.
9 Valleudigbam of the true nature of thoi
!. position, we will give thom. Tho Rchmon,
Whig says - O
"We have made many errors in on
treatment Of the Yankees. Not The leas
> has been in regarding them as something
+ better than they really are. They are BY
8 nature menial, and fitted only for menia
. duties. They are in.open and fagrdnt in
0 su,rection against their noturti lords and
. masters, the gentleman of ne South. In
o the exercise Of their assumed privileges
: they derort themselves with all the ex
', travagant airs, the insolence, the cruelty
!, the cowardice and love Of rapine, whicI
' have ever characterized the revolt @
, SLAVES, The former leniency Of THEIl
s. MASTERS only serves to aggravate the fe
L rociiy Of their natures. Wien Mey ar

Roforring to some poaco propositions o
: Mr.. Jamos Brooks, of Now York, who, Bk,
Mr. Vallandigham, dreams of"Ro-construc

-."Mr. Brooks appears TO DO in earnes
in these extravagant propositions, strange

possession OF his senses; for, upon lae oc,
: cassion of presenting them. he made 9
% long speech, and expressed himself con
