orat could 10 elected on peace platformand that
any President who would iEaugurste any measure
leading 10 peace on tho basis Of Southern indcpen-
dence, would be promptly hung, by loyal aceanma-
ton, TO the lamp-posts in front Of bis own Presi-
Dental mansion.
However that may be, II we are but true TO our
selves, there can be but one result. What VIC now
need is men, only men. Not substitutes or hire
lings who go forth for any motive but the Counrys
good, and produce but little effect beyond dcpreci-
ating our srmes--hut MEN, such as really constitute
the State and boast of being freemen and the sous
Of frosmen.
IF these fail to support their country's causo In
her hour of peril, they sro unworthy Of continuing
ixeenon, and should blush ever to exercise froe-
mans privileges.
Bat if bouhties mist be paid, lot it be in Southern
lsnd-not in Northern gold; and armies Of eUiigrants
whose sons may aspire to even tho rulo Of tho Ma
