not of choice, being the head of one
faction, and Governor Gamble that of the
other. After months of labor to reconcile
the difficulty, it seemed to grow worse and
worse, until I felt it to be my duty to break
it up somehow; and as I could not remove
Governor Gamble, had to remove General
Curtis. Now that you are in the position,
/ wish you to undo nothing merely because
Gen. Curtis or Gov Gamble did it, but to
exercise your own judgment and do right
for the public interest. Let your military
measures be strong enough to repel the
invaders and keep the peace and not SO
strong as TO unnecessarily harass and per-
sscute the people. It. is difficult role,
and so much greater will be the honor il
you perform it well. If both factions, or
neither, shall abuse you, you will proba-
bly, be about right. Beware of being as

to go far among the loyal portion of this
community to ascertain precisely in what
manner it is characterized. In his publish

eyes of the court could not be closed to the
condition of the country and the circum-

Plain Proportions.

There are few plain propositions that
we believe iudisputable, which should be
kept before Ihepeople; and among them are
these: ..-aH M .g n.. .s. srg
1t is impossible at this time to make
peace between the Government and the
rebellion, without acknowledging the inde-
pendence of the Southern Confederacy.-
That is to say, peace is now impracticable,
save upon the basis OF the dissolution of
the Union. ll ..a n
The people of the loyal States can, if
they will, overthrow the rebellion by force
of arms. They have the power to do it.
They can do it by putting forth their
strength with earnestness, determination
and singlenesS of purpose in the cause of
the Union, that the rebels have shown in
the cause of disunion. ta. t
The practical question is whether the
people Of the loyal States have the spirit,
the manhood, the hnrdihoOd in making
sacrifices, the understanding of their own
HintsresLs, the bipartisan patriotism, to go
on with the work steadfastly through all
discouragements to the end2 relI
( III one, halt, or nearly one-half the peo-
pie of the loyal States are determined to
oppose the war. to embarrass and weaken
the government, by resistance to the es-
sential war measures, they can secure the
independence of the Southern Confederacy.
In other words, il the Democratic party,
with all its power, goes for a disunion,
peace, they can become responsible for
that disgrace and calamity Cincinnati
