The Purpose OF war.

WENDELL PHLIAPs, in speech made
in Henry WARD BEEcHRR's S church laid
down the following as the ultimatum of
the war
"Now, wonld accept anything on an au-
tl-slavery basis. | would accept separation
| would accept compromise | wonld accept
Union. | would ACCEPT peace, and pay the
whole Confederate debt at par on an anti
slavery basis On that basis have touched
the hardpan Of national existence have
reached the granite strata, aud may begin to
build again in peace. And.until reach Tint,
no chicanery of parties, no ingenuity of com
promise, no manner of separation can make
any difference. We are in for the war
Some persons calling themselves "cou-
seryotive Republicans" viii object to this
statement of the real issue but it is only
a disagreement in terms, not in fact PHn-
LIPS, GREELY IL Co., dictated the emanci-
patton proclamation, and the policy which,
if persisted in, destroys all hope for a res
toration of the Union. The pretended CON
servatves Of the patty call it '.war meas
ure," the Abolitionists accept it as an
Abolition measure practically there is
not the shadow of difference between
them. The war is now prosecuted solely
and exclusively to sustain the proclama-
ton, and if the proclamation is sustained,
the people of the South are to be complete
ly subjugated and government imposed
on them which would not be the Union.
If this cannot be done separation is newt
able. The party has accepted every abo-
lition measure so far, and it is too late to
higgle about words which mean the same
thing They must now accept abolition
and dissolution--the two are iuseparable
or they must turn back and accept the
Democratic policy, which would have
saved the Union aud averled the war, as
the only hope Of restoration. Every day
that the war is prosecuted upon the aboi
ton policy, but widens the breach, and is
wuntou aud wicked waste of blood and
treasure as to any possibility of restoring
the Union by such means and measures.

Singular Case OF Mistaken Iden.

In the battle of Gettysburg there was Gu
gagged with the Union forces young man
whose parents reside in Birmingham, Pa 1t
was announced that he was among tho killed
in that sGngninary fight and his friends pro,
ceeded to the battle field to recover his re-
mains. After some difficulty they managed
to recover what they we're positive was his
body, and brought il home and had it inferred
in the family burying ground A few nights
since the house of the parents was visited by
young man from the army, who aroused the
household. On entering the house what was
the surprise and astoHishment of the parents
to discover in their visitor their deeply MOURN
ed son, whose remains they faneied we're rest
ing quietly in the cemetery, II turned out
that the body brought on and inferred was
that OF rebel, who wore in the battle a Uni
ted States Uniform, aud whose resemblance to
the Union soldier was very striking one-

NOT Deceived.

The Aboltionists talk of prosecuting
the war for the restoration of the Union, -
and at the same time protest against the
restoration of the Union as it was. They
talk Of "the armed defense of the Consti-
tuition" while repudiating all their Con-
stitutionsl obligations and establishing
tests of Loyalty outside the Constitution.
Their acts give the lie to their professions
and their declarations conflict with each
other. Nothing is more certain than that
if they had the power to "crush out the
rebellion" it would not be for the restora-
ton of the Union under the present Con-
stitution. They do not even pretend that
it would. What form of government
they would establish, they have not yet
disclosed, and we can only judge from
their uniform declarations of unconditional
obedience, which means despotism, and
their calling themselves "loyalists," which
means adberents Of kingly power.
There is no alternative, no other choice
than to join a party pledged only to des-
potism and blindly and silently follow
wherever the leaders choose to take it, OF

WILL NOT SuPPOaT THE WAR.-The Chi

has been for a vigorous prosecution Of the
war, thus speaks Of Lincoln's abolition
proclamation 1t SAYS,
/" Ii the threatened manifesto be issued,
il will change the whole character Of the
war. II will make II war to destroy ihe
Consultation and the Unios. Ii will make
il a war not only Of subyersion Of the poh-
tical Constitution of the country, but Of
sudden, radical and inevitable ruinOus re-
yolution in the social and industrial rels-
tiOns Of the people. II will make il war
TO liberate and enfranchise four millions Of
semi-sassge negroes, and to establish them
as the people oil sovereign States.
" Such war the Democratic party will
not support. We say this deliberately and
with solemn emphasis. To support il would
be hideous wrong in the sight Of Heaven
and monstrOus crime sgalnst mankind.
We need not multiply words here. We
know the tenor Of the Democrats party,
and we know that in this we represent il
truly"

but more for his having fallen into such

he ran the blockade and came home, bring
ing valuable assorted cargo, consisting Of

A SHORT METRE PRAYER. We have
heard Of an old Deacon, whs on being ask
ed by his pastor to close meeting with
short prayer, replied, "I am willing to
pray, but don'tsIike to be stinted." The
minister mentioned below must have be-
lsnged to the same family. We Judge, for
he had similar aversion TO being strait
ened in his communion with God. The
story has good moral:
The Rev. Mr.. Derwell, a.pious and Gu
rious old Methodist minister, went from
Tennessee to Kentucky. in 1919. to visit
his relative. the Hon. Wm. Bolton. The
man was not a religious man, but was a
gentleman, and invited the minister to have
family worship every evening. While he
was visiting there, Judge Cone and his wife
from Nashville, arrived there to pass the
night, and Mr. Bolton, being little EN-
barrassed, said to the old minister as he
brought out the Bible, that he had better
be short as the Judge was probably not ae-
customed TO such things.
"yery well, very WE'LL" said he, and
reading single verse, he knelt down and
prayed
20 Lord, we are very poor and needy
creatures, and we know that thou art able
to supply all our wants. but Cousin Will
liam SAYS that Judge Cone and his wife
from Nashville are here, and are not used
to iamily worship, asd however needy We
are, there is no time TO spare in telling
Thee our wants. Amen"
The Judge was taken all aback, and so
was Cousin William. They both pressed
the old gentleman to eoniuct tae services
in his own way, which be did, to their
great edi6catisn.
