..PEACE. PEACE"

SuCH IS Tue cry " sou'e )" WI "'os'
and wshear that p .tition is in circula
ten asking that our Government ma.
make offers Of peace to the rebels. W.
desire peace As much a. any man can. bu
We would like to learn how "a peace,
that is "a peace, can be made by Gov
crnn,ent With rebels. II strikes Us that
those who cry out "pescc," should give
us the terms of peace and the n,odus OPP.
eron'li by which it is to be brought
about with honor to our nation. A por-
ton Of the Cui,cd States is in rebellion
against the legally constituted au,hcri-
ties of our Government. Those in re.
beIlion declare, and have from the first,
that there can be no peace unless their
independence is recognized. Are these
peace men ready to recognize the indie.
pendence Of the rebels? If so, then are
Republican governments at 40 end. II
a party that is defeated 10 an election, no
matter how large it may be, can revolt
against the Government and have its or
their independence recognized, then in.
deed would constitutional monarchy be
preferable TO a Republican form of gov.
ornment. Have those who are ready to
give up everything to the rebels cons d
er-d where such practice would land
the Government? We think not. They
should look beyond the removal or assas-
sinatiun Of the President, as some Of them
contemplate sucl, an event, aud even be.
You'd the time when his Constitutional
term will expire. If we have Govern
ment at I'll there will be other Presiden.
tal elections, and there will be defeated
parties likewise. If a defeated party
can revolt now, it, or any other defeated
party can revolt at any future time.-
Where then is there any security for our
Government, There is, there can be
none. The party now in power is com
posed Of men who have been defeated
again and sguin. Did they ever revolt,
or advise il? NJ! How is it with the /.
party now out OF power? No sooner were
they defeated, fairly aud legally, at the
ballot box, that they orgauizeda revolu.
ton. Shall il succeed? Men may talk,
?nd hem and huw,' and "but,' and say
'abuiitieni>l' aud "nisn,r," as much as
they please, bat they cannot cover up
the facts. The defeated States revolted.
Sha!l they be allowed TO succeed?
We tss attention to The following,
which We Gu, from the .Shtefd. published

When men who have felt the effects Of
the rebellion as they have, talk as they
d., how ought men at the North, who
love their country, to talk?

Tnere is great deal being said jus,
now about u compromise. and a settle
ment of our national difficulties Now
sir, | would ask. what dues this word
compromise mean when app led to our
d'm">slc difficulties; simply that the
Federal Gvernnent sh"uld give up the
constitutional right Of supprcs>iug re.
belioD, enforcing the law. nc &c. Can
the government safely do this? Never
for by So doing the government would a,
once become ii trail bark on tenpestuous

All the countless blessings of freedom
won'd pass away, and the name Of Amer.

proach. But, Mr. Editor there is ancth.
CT reason existing why a compromise
should not BE- made. and that is. the de.
