Iffom the Richmond Enqarer, Nos 90
While furious invading enemy is laying
waste our fair fields, demanding unconditional
submission to Its Government, offering no
terms of peace, nor even limiting at negotiation
for peace upon any other basis, but avowing
the unanimous purpose to deprive us of all right,
of all Law, and Of all property and while our
devoted armies are 10 the field with their arms
In their hands, and their banners flying, to de-
fy and resist aDd beat back that foul Invasion,
we do not comprehend how any man Ia the
Cenfederacy can-we do not ray get "hOnofa-
BILE peace'-but even talk of hone Ysbls peace,
save by vauquishing those invading enemies.
If the political system Of those invading enc
mics breaks up. by reason of Teverscs in war,
or financial troubles, If certain States of their
"Unon' remember that they have State
Rights. and act upon them BY seeding from
that Union, and Offering US peace as far as
thy are concerned, 1t will aid US materially In
the one siugls task We have TO achieve-t tbs
task Of defeating and destroying the military
power of our enemies. But reasonable Confed-
crates would bs at loss to know how we can
contribute to that happy state Of things, except
by continued and successful resistance In arms
OR sole policy aud cunnisgest diplomacy is
fighting, our most irsiuusting negotiator IL the
Confederate army in line of battle.
Nor re percers that, jsa az Clmgrs" is about "a
n,et. certain newsp prs Of the Conftderaey and pre-
paring the uay for diseussions in that body about
some OTHER method Of charming peace. The other
method cue gosted, in 90 tar ~ We can compre-
bend 1t, consists in the several States of the
Coafsderacy taking the matter out of the hands
of the Conf, derate Government, ignoring the
Government and the army, and all that army
has done and suffered for the independence Of
the Confederacy and then making peace, each
State for ITSELF as lest 1t can. There would be
an honorable peace!
