Stop fighting. MAKE AN ARMS
T1CE-no formal treaty. WITHDRAW
YOUR ARMY FROM THE Seeded

The kindly offer of an impair
tial power to stand as daysman between
| the contending parties in this most bloody
and e1hausting strife, ought to be met in
| a spirit as cordial and ready as that in
which it is proffered. 1t would be churl-
| ism 10 refuse. Certainly it is not incon-
sistent with the former dignity OF this
Government to ask for mediation; nei-
Their, sir, would it beft its ancient magma
| nimity to reject it. as proposed by the
Emperor Of France, I a0ouzd accept 1t at
| once. Now is the auspicious moment. 1t
| is the speedisst, easiest, most graceful
! mode of suspending hostilities. Let us
| hear no more Of the mediation of cannon
| and the saoord.-Ertract from VaItandig

only be restored by peaceabls and honor
able adjustment of existing differences, so
| as to main tain the sovereignty aud institu
tions of every state unimpsired, aud pros
| tect them In the future from all enc-oach-
meats, that coercion orssutjugation as not
a rightful remedy for eristing troubles, and
if practicable would convert our republi-
| can form OF government into q military
| despotsm, and ytterly subvert the princl-
| pies of constitutional freedom, both In the
North and South.

aoould either hare had to recede from has
unconstitutional acts. or tight this aoar

| He thought it was as impor-
| tant to have Democrats Oh the bench as to
have a Democratic Governor. The Re-
| publicans, being about to disband, had not
! dared to nominate a man for Chief JUS
tice. But they had recommended man.
Did not propose to say anything against
that man, for he was upright, honest and
| capable. But he (that man) was a Repub-
! lican. Republicans might say that their
man would make the best judge, had had
experience and all that, but the ansDer to
all such statements nas that he soas not a
Democrat.--Sat. C5arS's address to the
Democratic Club Of Madison.

Clark is bold man, speaks just what he
believes, and tells great deal of truth.
| He is one of those who practices what be
has always preached, and does not give
| the lie to his past life Go prove his loyalty.
We wish there were more like him.

belong to the economy above. No power,
human or divine, could eradicate it-no
not the poaoer of Deity itself. SLauery
was PART OF DEITY. The Deity
himself could not get rid Of .S1aUery any
more than he could change the natural
laws. The Africans were ia q far better
