UNEXPECTED REVELATIONS nsver had
any confidence in the disposition Of the Dem
ocrats Of the North to accord us peace. Their
darling object is reconstruction. They have
wished to curry favor with the South for that
purpose. They are too late. They first tried
subjugation, and we hate them now with too
hearty hatred to be wheedled out Of our In
dependence. They tried stones first, without
resorting to words and grass in the beginning
They are already disappointed in our temper
peace at the cost Of our separate nationality.
Their eyes are opened and they are beginning
already to turn upon US with curses, like the
impudent peddler, who, after using all his
Establishments in vain to induce your wife to
purchase his wares, turns at last and leaves
her with an insult. 1t is essential that all de-
lusions of the kind should be fairly dispelled
from the Northern mind, before any healthy
movement can be made by them in the direc-
ton Of peace Then it will not come from the
Democrats. They love US 700 well to part
from US. 1t may turn out after all, that the
Republicans will take the wind out of the
sails Of the Democrats and propose peace on
the ground Of recognition.
The speech Of Mr.. Conway IF Kansas, a
noted Abolitionist, or rather ultra Republican,
made in the last Congress, is very significant,

BY the Democrats The speech was made aud
the resolutions offered, it is said, under the ap-
probation Of Gov. Andrew, Sumner, Greedy,
and other noted Abolitionists
lie concluded his speech with the following
! important resolutions:
cannot refrain from expressing my inli-
vidual opinion that the true policy of the
| North is to terminate this war at once. The
| longer it continues, the worse our situa ton
becomes. Let the two houses Of Congress
adopt the folowin resolutions

Representatives, Sc, That the Executive
