the country made desoiats-tn BEE the
lives Of their fellow citizens wautonly
sacfideed. Asd 70 be themselves encum-
bered with debts and taxss, merely to

Tie President has been dubbed" by
his friends, 5'HoneSt Old Abe.'' They
are the architects of his fame-they are
ths.Postsrs who Shave power over she
clay to moald one vessai to honoE and
another dishoaor, = and in noalding Id
Abe'' 10 suit their purposes, they base
made a very dishoDorabie vessel OF him.
Is il any wousiaF sh&t the people are
oppressed With taxes, that she naslon is
overwhelmed with asbs, and she Canal
sutioa and she righss Of tbs people are
trumpled undertook, when such men are
at the helm of government--wben Pres
ieient will call out troops ander the by
poeritical pretense Of re- establishing the
Union, when it is acknowledged by him
self that it cannot be re- established by
force?
The President has informed the Gov
ernmeut of Great Britain that this Gov
eminent does not expect TO reduce the
seeding States to obedience BY conquest
that F'only an imperial government
eould subjugats thoroughly disaffeotsd or
discretionary members of the state. -
Then why should the war be prosecuted
Why not demand that peace be immedi-
ately made upon the best terms possible 2
These are questions for the people to de-
eide. Upon thsir decision depends the
| future welfare of themselves, their chill
dren and the nation.
