He is the of most important movements against

The report Of Kirby Smith defeating banks Is said to

DEMONSTRATION! Can they recon-
stiuct the family circles which they have
btohen--can they reconstruct the for
tunes which they have scsttered-can
they reconstruct the bodies Of our dead
kindred, which by tens Of thousands
they have destroyed? When they can
do this, they can reconstruct the old
Union. When they can do this--whenl
they can breathe the breath of life iatoI
the pallid faces of our sons and bTosh-
ers, and restore theth once more, living
and happy, to our desolated fresides,
they may dream Of bringing back that
Union whose only principle Of cohesion
was the Mutual love and confidence Of
its people.
"We warn the Democrats and COns
serVailtes Of the North to dismiss
from their minds at once the misersbls
delusion that the South can ever con.
sent I'd entet, again, upon any terms,
into the old Union. If the North will
allow us To write the Constitution our
selves. and give Us every guarantee we
would ask; we would sooner be under
the Government OF England or France
than dndet Union with men who have
shown that they cannot keep good
faith, and are the most barbareus and
ihhuman, as well as treacherous of
mankind. Suppose two men engaged
IN partnership fall out, and one OF them;
after violatingevery article Of the agree
ment Of partnership, destroys the prop
erty OF the other. burns his house over
bis head, butchers his wife and chill
dren, and theti asks the other to renew
The partnership and go on in business
again as II hotking had happened?@
This is faint image OF what the
Northefh. Observation-Disclosures ask Of the
South. II we could agtee to It our fol-
ly wotld be only equalled By their tilA
lainy. Loyalty to them Is treason to
our dead, ID ourselvesI and to human
ig.
"Ifthe feconsttdctiohists really want,
peace, they can easily have it upon the
terms upon which they could have al
ways had it-letting US alone. We ask
neither more nor less. We are making
no war on them. We are not invading
