the whole people with, them, encouraged,
as they. will be; BY the powerful support
OF the army, the navy and the credit OF
France. The mission of Mr. Stephens. 10
Paris clearly points to- the result. IN
wisely. and wickedly rejected by the Court
at Washington, where, accoFding to South
ern authority, he came with. "full powers
to treat for peace and settlement, he goes
now on special embassy, to the Court of
Versailles. The disastrous results of the
success Of such embassy, either through
him or AIR. Slidel already there, upon
| the interests and future peace Of the north
west, no man can calculate. Then, in
deed, along with permanent disruption of
the Union, and -other numberless calami-
ties, would the Mississippi be effectually
sealed against us, except upon such terms
as foreign nations may choose to impose,
and thus every city and down upon that
great river aud its tributaries, would begin
to fail into decay. Victories in the field
will not all teud to retard or. prevent this
alliance and It's ruinous results, Now,
therefore, is the accepted time, the very
hout before the blow be struck, for
I the people OF the. north and west re-
buke the radicals and malignants who
control public affairs, aud prove to the
people ei the South that they can re urn

thus TO the Uniun, with ali the uig gnlty,

OF tue Denocratlc party IN Ohio and The
other Statea Will 90 further toward this
result than any event which can happen
within the ueXt twelve months. Shall the
go.dcn moment to aid powerfully III the
restoration of the Union as 1t Was Dec sui

FIRST. The Invitation to rebels in arms
which my election will signify, will be to
lay down their arms and return to the old
Union aud to obedience to and protection
under the Constitution, laws and flag,
secure from Abolition intermeddfiug and
agitation, as before the war, and from con-
scription, ccntiscation, execution, einanci-
patron, negro equality, and all exertiohs
.of arbitrary, de0potic power since.
Second There will be Lo "civil war;
Mr.. tBfough aud his party inaugurate it;
in which event we viii crush out the re-
befiion in very much shorter space of
time than they have employed in putting
down Lne SHAREHOLDERS rebellion, ii,

from the State by voluntary exile to Can
ada, OF elsewhere, there viii be no ''coer-
cion IN, that event. But the threat il
intended 10 intinndate, is as idle as tbs
