unreasonable. Is any one offering rs
peace: Look round our whole horizon
where is it on sea or land, that you dis
Germ the faintest futter Of the white
wings:7' It's all war; all one bottomless
gulf Of blood, one universal carnival OF
slaughter, and ravago and ruin.
True, there is one way by which the
Southern Confederates could immedi.
atcIy regain all the blessings Of peace;
it IS by submission, by reconstruction,
BY dcsisting from the FFrc5ellion," and
delivering up our ring leaders to the
punishncntof the laws they have tram
pied upon. Is there, indeed, one single
citizen Of this Confedcracy who would
have peace at any price: Well, here
IS the price; say at oncc-are we to
pay it?
But the symptoms Of q breach be-
tween the East and Northwest. May
not they lie managed and turned to
account, perhaps? Why Esrcpel'' the
Northwest, by harsh aud cutting Ian
guagc Truly, we admit the language
IS very inadequate weapon against
those armed and brutal Invaders; they
would never be "repcIled'' b. vituper-
atiye cpithet; and all the bayoncts and
colunOa!ds we can muster are scarcely
enough to repel the brigands. But let
us he p and encourage, you say, their
intestine divisions. Yes, we are will
ing :; III the way we gave rise to those
divisions at first, We wish to encourage
them now. That is to say, by desperate
resistance and defiance.
To be plain, we fear and distrust far
more these apparently friendly advances
OF the democrats, than the open atroci-
ty Of phIlanthropiSts Of Massachusetts,.
The democratic party always was our
worst enemy; and but for its poisonous
embrace the States would have been
free and clear of the unnatural Union
twenty years ago. It's not the Stewards
and Summers, the black Republicans
and abolitionists, who have hurt u.s.
They were right all along; there was
an i"roprcssibIe conflict between two
different civilizations, two opposite So
cIat organizations; they were 30 more
