Abolition and Secession Reciprocity.

" There are two parties. land but two) in
our unhappy country, whose leaders are deter
mined that there shall be no peace except upon
such terms as they themselves may choose to
dictate. Although widely diverse in their pro-
fessed objects, the policy of each tends with
mathematical certainty to one inevitable pol't''
cal end. The one declares itself in favor OF the
restoration Of tho Union and avows its deter
m;nstion to prosecute the war until the people
Of the rebellious states shall be reduced into
submission, even if that result should bring
nothing to the Government but the bare soil
of CONQUERED territory. Theother asserts, with
equal selfconfidence, that it will never cease to
make war until the independence of the States
inrcbellion shall be acknowledged by the Fed
eral Government. The Abolition party of the
North, headed by Wendell Phillips, Horace
Greely, Charles Sumner and Henry Wilson
and having its caudal termination in Abraham
Lincoln, is the one the Secession party Of the
South, with jeff. Davis, w. L. Yancey, L. L.
Wigfali and J. r. Benjamin in the lead, is the
other Between these two apparently iniml-
cal, yet certainly cooperating or sanizatons, the
people srs being crushed, as between the upper
and neither milestone. The two.taken together,
form gigantic machine which can only swal-
low UP ard grind to powder the material re-
sources of the nation. Two monsters stand at
fhc hopper and feed its Unsuitable jaws with
blood and treasure; the one, grinning ape,
deems the ruin he is working sport for himself
and destruction to his enemies the other, a
cunning lynx, sees clearly the desolation he is
creating and regards it all as but tributary to
the dream of his ambition. And so the mill
grinds on, shaking with the movement of its
ponderous machinery, the whole continent to
its centre but above the din of its horrid noi-
ses, the cry Of its monster managers is heard,
smore blood, more treasured" Shall the people
Of the sections respond to this fiendish demand
forever? Shall there be no effort to extricate
she nation from this engine of destruction ere it
grind us to dust! True representatives Of the Peo.
pie have already made such IN effort, but the
reciprocity purpose between the Abolition and
Secession monsters prevented its success. The
newspaper stipendiaries Of the latter declare
that they want no delivcranco from the horrors
Of war except such as will insure the indepsnd-
ence of Secessia. The hireling press of the
former cries, s.war to the end--servile insurrec-
ton and determination !" The Secession papers
copy the fanfaronadc Of the Northern journals,
whilst the Abolition organs spread exultingy
before their readers the defiant editorials Of the
journalists Of Richmond And thus the pee-
pie of both sections are deceived as to the true
and real desire Of the masses North and South.
Yet every body here knows that the Abolition
war journals do not represent the feelings OF
majority Of the people Of the North, and, we
doubt not, the war papers of the South are
Just as far from presenting true reflex of the
wishes Of the people of that section. The re.
ciprocity between Abolition and Secession, in
their mutual endeavor to prevent the restora-
Of peace, should therefore be exposed, in all its
horrible bideousness, to the public gazc. Let
1, be hcralded over the land that these twin
daughters of political debauchery 60 hand
in hand for the purpose Of prolonging the
war and to accomplish their own base
purposes. Lat the people turn deaf ear to
the rant and bluster Of the paid organs of both
Abolition and Secession. and let them take
heart anew in the blessed cause Of Peace, "put
tA1r shoulders to the wheel, pray to God for
success and push on the column"
