ITS EERECTs.
We have ksard some few limitations OF dts'
arprsvsl Of the tone Of the address put forth
bv ths retiring members Of the late Congress
Most, e Rot al these objections are trivial and
fkucifuL. As for ourselves we regard it as one
Of he most admirabls and timely documents
che war has called forth. In the 6ut plsce Il
sets the Southern States right and on proper
ground before the European vorld in shsh act
Of secession, and In the sscend il discloses to
the Northern people The hollow heartednsss Of
he Black Republicans in their professions Of
love for the Union. It Is nos = msrs exposition
Of frets, or collection Of arguments, but Is IL
. chapter Of history, and viii enable Lincoln
and the Northern people to get . glimpse Of the
Eus position they viii occupy and the character
they VIII sqjoy vhsn An impartial history Of
this war Is written.
Nov hat the frenzy produced by the war has
partially s0bsidsd in the North, It's effect viii
be 10 cause the people Of that section 10 step in
thsiI mad career, rsfset upon what they hsve
done and ponder ths conseg ueaces Of what they
are doing It viii eoms Up powerfully 70 The
sd r. The " sober second thought which Is A.
ready 6orng battle for Is N The North, sNd which
Is re JIy now one Ct cur most Poisu. champions
in the fed.
We are not kzozg thoss who bsLisys thstths

nadciEn. They, Ike We, have bssn rurtured
and TeEred IN the cradle Of liberty, and EhsE
thsir syss are oBcs opened to tie 6sndish mach
iuAtions Of their rulers and they End the chains
Of slavery being silently sRfHinsd about ther

cial results, has cooled the frsnzisd srdor of

The madness Of the hOur having passed away,
the wholesome truths sad faithful sxpositioBs
Of This address come in coed season. We do
not believe the Hsrthsrn people are SO far lest
20 al reason, &c to be wiling to sacrifice their
" personal liberty and State Independence
for The wicked purpose Of robbiBg Us of ours,
which they viii and must do, If they persist IN
the prosecution Of the war.
Isl not to be supposed that the effect Of this
address upon the Norfhsrn mind will be speedy
OF presently apparent. Its operations viii be
silent and slow. The northern conservative
men vii seize upon its facts and arguments
and make then their sHn, and The masses viii
be made te see the dangerous depths Of folly
and ruin into which the war is Fastening them.
The widest latitude is BOW given to free discus.

That the address should indicate or even ex-
press an anxious desire for peace, We do not
regard Is iu the lsAs. derogaiory to our dignity

Of the world BY letting our desire for peace be
known, more especially when the expression Of
has desire is coupled with the express determi-
