papers, now supporting the Administration and
its coercive policy. expressed views similar to the
New York Tribune aud the Journal. As still
further evidence of the willingness Of the Re
publican leaders to consent TO peoceable sepa-
ration of the States. we quote the following from
the Chicago Tribune of December l, 1860:
Not few Of the Republican journals of the in

which they are endeavoring TO impress upon their
readers. that the seeded States, be they few or
many, will be whipped back into the Union. We

language TO come from those who are now en-
gagged in advocating the prosecution of a civil
war, the most gigantic ever known, to whip back
the retiring States.
Comment is unnecessary Is there further ev-
i1ence needed TO show that the Republican party
in 1860 and 1861 was the disloyal party-the dis
union party. and that it was the expression of
such sentiments a. we have quoted from the lead
ing Republican press which gave encouragement
and strength to the rebellion?
