THINGS TO BE REMEMBERED.
SHOULD SUMTER HAVE BEEN EyACU-


When Democrats say that the evac-
ration Of Fort Snmtcr would have pre-
vented war; says the Goshocton Dem>
ocrat,' Republicans charge them with
the entertainment Of treasonable sem
timents. Below we give the Language
ofthe leading Republican paper of o.
hio, in favor of the evacuation of Sum
ter as a peace measure. The article
from which the following was extract
ed appearedin the Cincinnati Gazette.

IA collision at this potdt would, ino all
probability, be the beginning of general
civil war, and this the n stional Government
seems to think it can, ueder the circuIn5
stan ces,. afford to avoid; especially MS the
withdrawal Of the troops from Fort Sumter
would assure the country of,he peaceful IN
tentions Of the Administration. II gieFf :,

the evacuation o. Fort Sumter, while great

From such authoritative givings out
as the above extracts contain, is it 70
be wondered at that the leaders Of tn g
rebellion concluded thattheir continu-
ance in the Union was no longer desi-
rable, or, at any rate, that they would
be permitted to go in peace? ,v ra4y
That the President was fully bent on
a peaceful settlement Of our difficulties
with the South, we, have; not the least
doubt, Fort Sumter would have been
evacuated peaceably had the President
and conservative portion Of the, Repub-
-liesn party have had their way to it.
