LET Peace Commissioners be appointed

nary powers of negotiation, meet on neu-
tral territory, and discuss the terms OF
peace. = You may offer US something
that will secure our equal rights within the
Union; you may propose to give the
slaveholding and free States equality OF
votes in Congress and in the election Of
President; and partly to effect this, you
may throw all New England into one
State or give her to England-or, if Eng
land won't have her, let her secede. Now
this would be tempting bait. We don't
saw it would satisfy us; but the subject IS
