We thank God from the depth of out heart
that the authorities OF Washington snubbed
Vice President Stephens, in his late attempt TO
confer with them on International affairs, with
out form or ceremony. Ithas long been known
here that this gentleman thought, II he could
get to whisper into the ears Of some men about
Washington, the result might be terms Of peace
on some sort OF anioR or reconstruction. He
seemed to forget that Douglas, with whom he
used to serve, ie dead, and Notwithstanding his

Of two things must be done: either some terms
must be made, or the whole militia Of the Con.
federacy must be called out and an immediate
alliance proposed with foreign powers. PresI.
dent Davis gave him tuR p0tosTs to treat onh0n-
orable terms, and started him of to the King
dom of Abraham. But Father Abraham told
him there was an impossible gulf between
them, and the Vice President had to steam
back to Richmond, q little top fallen. We hope
this will put stop toTeuerto some cFokers about

the Union az 10 was. And We also hope the

purpose of final separation than We are. The
Republican party are not fighting to restore this
Union any more than the old Romans fought to

There is only one party In the North who
want this Union restored, but they have no
more power-legislative, executive or judicial
than the paper We write on. Is 10 true they
make 0 show Of union and strength, but they
have no voiceof authority. We know that the
Vallandigham school wants the Union restored,

Union than any other power in Ohio could do,
and therefore we pray that be may be defeated.
Should strong Union party spring up in Ohio,
the third State in the North in political impor-
tance, 1t might find q faint response In some
Southern State, and give ua trouble. But ss
