any impartial umpire would thereupon advise
them that their enterprise is hopeless, and
they ought to give it up.
| 3. We believe that, if our armies do not
whip theirs, theirs will whip ours.
| 4. We believe that should they be success
and a0e defeated in the general results of the
campaign now opening, impartial third par
ties will say that ace ought to consent to peace
on the best attainable terms. Whether we
| shall take that counsel or renew the struggle
as united people who have come to under
stand and to accept its real character, the
| cost and suffering involved, events will deter
mine.
s.. But we believe that the time will come
we do not say how soon, as that must de-
pend on the results of conflicts yet future
when the great powers Of Europe will medi-
tate--not by blows, nor by menaces, but by
presentations-against a continuance Of the
struggle as fruitles, wasteful butchery, and
urge a settlement in the interests Of humani-
ty and commerce.
Thus the Tribune pronounces that we
must subdue the rebellion by movements,
combinations, and attacks" now on the eYe'
or call upon the great powers of Europe" to
Interfere " against the continuance Of the
struggle as .truutess, a0astetat butchery and
urge settlement IN the interests ofhunGnity
and commerce." In simple, direct. unequivo-
cal language. Mr. Greeley says that if we
are not successful in the campaign now open
ing, our cause and country are lost, and that
We must have peace /" upon the best attaina-
bic terms"
This is saying, openly and publicly, to the
enemy, that they have only to hold ont two
or three months longer to secure the triumph
Of rebellion and slavery. Had an opposition
journal or member of Congress uttered these
sentiments the Tribune lrouid hare demand
ed their remoUal to Fort Lafayette.
Mr.. Greeley evades, though he does not de-
ny, that he has communicated with the French
minister and Mr.. Valaudigham, suggesting
meditation to the former, and peace to the
latter. In entering upon the question ol
meditation with foreign minister, he taxes
issue, in violation Of law, against the govern
ment. And in opening correspondence with
a representative whom heis constantly de-
nouncing as traitor, be commits an offence
leave others to name and characterize.
And now leave Mr.. Greeley, the columns
of his own Tribune being the exponent and

the Union; and then, after a hundred thou,

Have you seen the " blessed baby"
Over at the meadow cottage
Tender, wee-bit, pulling baby,
Soft as swans down-soft as snowflake,
Feathery, feecy, flying sno flake,
Chasing downward in December?
Ihaye seen the wond-ous baby
Seen it tucked in broidered wrappings-
Delicate, dainty, rose-lincd wrappings:-
Seen its star-oyes peeping open,
Like two rays of hidden sunlight,
Sparkling on a shaded Fountain
m Leaping, ssIng. noisy fountain,
Down the rocky hillside tumbling.
Ills the first, and only baby,
Ever seen beneath the roof-tree
Of the cozy wayside cottage:
And the most miraculous baby,
That the sun has ever shoue on,
Or the blue sky ever looked on,
Just the pIumpest-just the cutest,
And the handSomest of babies
Go and see it ! fity others,
Curious ones, and speculative,
Sn2tehed the baby from its cradle
Kissed it DER from head to t9oties-
Counted each pink toe and finger,
Stole the fashionable pattern,
Of the robes the mite was dressed in,
Said it was peerless baby,
With . nose aristccratic
And tic charningcst Of dimples-=
That u looked jus! Ike lis papa;
Whereupon the papa simpered-

Henceforth, doors must quit their creaking,
And be taught to swing as noiseless,
rs the tread Of green-eyed kitten,
Stealing from the kitchen pantry,
Stored with cream and other nictles.

When his foot hath crossed the threshold;
Not a breath Of air must enter

That his soul 's, his own, exclusive
Must not walk the hall with boots on
Must no. talk above q whisper
Nor yet stir the evening paper,
For the rattle wakes the baby,
Wakes the incest Of all babies!
Speculative thought is busy,
On the soft-checked baby's future
Baby, smiling in its siumbers,
AS if angel stirred the cradle:
VIII the little feet 60 straying,
Through the worlds forbidden highways
Up and down forbidden by-ways2
VIII the tiny hands, now dmpling,
Down beneath the rose-Iined drapery,
Twine them in the web of discord,
Ever being woofcd and woven?
Will the blue eyes flash with scorning
VIII they dance to joyous meaning2
Will they dim in silent sorrow,
In the fateGul years a-coming?
viii the clouds drop golden sunshine,
Ger the head, now softly piIlowed,
Or viii bitter storms, descending,
Crush it earthward. bruised and bleeding?
VIII the tender heart grow callous-
VIII the loving heart grow sordid-
In the rough worlds great ambition?
But the sinless baby slumbers,
Tucked beneath tie rose-lined wrappings,
Sucks its thumb, ana dreams of-nothing.

There has been horrible plot discov.

was to restore the old State governm ent,
and bring the State back into the Uni.

the rebel leaders, just as the efforts Of
Vallandigham to bring the States back
into the Union, peaceably, excited the
indignation ofthe Jacobin leaders North

PARTICULAR NOTICE.

There are many preparations sold under the,
name of Bitters, put up in quart bottles, COM,
pounded of the cheapest whiskey or common
rum, costing from 20 to 40 cents per gallon,
the taste disguised by Anise or Coriander Seed.
This class of Bitters has caused and will
continue to cause, as longas they can be sold,
hundreds to die the death Of the drunkard. By
their use the system is kept continually under
the influence Of Alcoholic Stimulants of the
worst kind, the desire for Liquor is created
and kept up, and the result is all the horrors
attendant upon drunkard's life and death.
/ For those who desire and will have Liquor
Bitters, we publish the following receipt -
Get one Bottle Of Hoohand's German BitterS
and mix with three quarts Of good brandy or
whiskey, and the result will be preparation
that will far excel in medicinal virtues and
true excellence any Of the numerous Liquor
Bitters in the market, and will cost much less.
You will have all the virtues Of Hollands
Bitters in connection with good article Of
Liquor, at much less price than these inferi.
or preparations will cost you.

the election, and devoted an evening, a
week or so after the election, to jollify
over their victory. Among other things
they did that evening was bnrning Mr..

we learn, like q set of wild Indians
round their burning victim. The In.
