extreme men in both sections have their hands on
the throats of the people, and neither will listen
TO the voice of reason or the appeals Of patriot
ism. Is there no hope for suffering country?
All that we can peacefully accomplish is TO dis
lodge those who stand in the way of an honorable
peace. We want and will have no divisions of
the States. and no division of the Union: but we
demand the wise and patriotic counsels of those
who are willing to preserve both in the spirit in
which they were originally framed. You. fellow
countrymen, want the return OF the neaceful DAYS
of your fathers, when the whole People, from
the Aristook to the Sabine. "dweIt together in
unity" You can onlv have it by a change Of
Administration aud change of Congress. The
latter YOU have practically secured. The first
you will accomplish in 1864 The balot-box
will then declare the National will. BE assured
of its efficacy in the hands Of free People, and
doubt not the ultimate blessings of Il restored
Union, under the guarantees OF your beloved
| Constitution.
