w naC VIII you accomplish by lH
PEACE MEN KICKED BY JEFF. DAVIS.
Do you hear how they are met on the
other side of the line? Do you know
the Richmond papers chuckle over this
that it will bring peace or
compromise, but they say, "The fellows
are divided among themselves, and we
will whip them by and BY" That is
the result OF factious and traitorous
course on this side of the line. Hear
the eonspirators: ave will whip them
by and by, and repossess ourselves Of
the Mississippi, when we will recog
nize anew Confederacy and take in the
West. We will do it by the aid of the
Peace party in the North" There is
nothing of it, for there is not a peace
party that will dare to move in such an
effort, but you give just as much aid
and comfort to them by your profess
ions as if you did aid them.
DEMOCRACY SHOULD BE LOYAL.
Ifany Of my Democratic friends here
can reconcile this course with duty they
owe to their country, to be engaged in
proceedings of this kind, cannot Is
it duty to your State or to your coun-
try? Is it a duty to your party, even?
lfit is, wipe that party out. My desire
and ambition has been to sec this great
Dem ocratic party foremost in this fight
to avengc the acts by which, before the
FIRST gun was fred at Sumpter, the Dem
ocratic party was slain in the house Of
its friends. If [ have any mere party
feeling of bitterness in me, it is because
they struck down that party before they
assailed the country.
OTHER OBJECTIONS CONSIDERED.
Have you any more objections to tn,
prosecution ofthis war? IF you have
l would like to know what they are
for l have no more on my list, and
made it up from speech of a distin
guished frieHd Of mine on the othe
side, in which suppose he had then
all summed up.
WHAT PEACE MEANS.
We'll, you say we want peace between
these two great divided sections
Bees your soul, my fr ends, So do 1 anc
SO does every man in the length anC
breadth of this land; and so for sever
long years, through the war of the Rev
oution, we wanted peace all the time
and so, in the war of 1912, we asked f0
peace continually. But during Meth
er of these we're we willing to take
peace if it trammeled our hands or sac
rifced our honor. If you want peace
now, pray tell me how you are going to
get it. What is your programme?
have read seven or eight speeches re.
Gently, and found none declared for
anything but that of Fernando Wood
and that is by diplomacy. But di-
plomacy is not sharp enough in thu
edge yet. You have heard many O.
your political leaders talk about peace
compromises, but the papers of the
Southern States, from the Richmond
Enquirer down to the lowest seve
by-nino, have hurled back the PROPOSE
ton in your teeth, and declared yot
should have no peace but by acknowl
edging the Southern Confedoracy.-
Are you willing to give it up and ac
F knowledge the Confederacy? ["No, no"
Are you prepared to discover the bond;
of this Union2 ["Never".] Then DON
talk about peace until you have won
by the sword. Don't talk about peac
until you have won it with honor unde
E the Constitution and the flag, and re
duced the rebels to subjection. I tel
you that you can win no peace by d
piomacy, for they will make no conces
sion to you, and they will spurn 20
. if you ask thOm to make it.
t HOW DO YOU EXPECT TO GET PEACE ?
How do you expect to get peace? :
s For the lif, of me can't sec how 20
5 are going to get it. Do you expect
! by trammeling and binding the hand
] of the natiol2 Do you expect to &C
it by refusing men and money to carr!
on the war, or by putting in power a
Administration opposed to the furthC
prosecution of it? IF you do, then yo
are preparing chains to bind yourselve
in seryituda more degrading than tht
the negroes suffer in the South.
