Such shout as never was heard before
would spread over our afflicted South.
If such DO the happy result our indepen-
dence will be established. But should Lin
cola be reelected our fond hopes will be
dashed to the ground our independence, but
thing dreamed Of fer we have exhausted
our resources and could not possibly hope to
be able to continue the war four years long
err Past experience has taught US that we
should expect no favors at the hands of
the indomitable tyrant and usurper .Abra-
ham Lincoln "Let US repoSe our trust in
the God of battles, and anxiously await the
result" There is what Mr.. Curry says
He prayS ardently for the peace candidate,
because, he says if he is elected their indie
pendsnee will be forever established. How
does he know? He asserts it as a fact
These communications that have been 60
ing on So constantly between rebels OF the
Southern Confederacy and the Northern re-
bels--all assembled at Niagara Falls-might
possibly explain how he knew so much
about what the Confederacy may expect
from the peace men, if elected Many things
that have been done in this country will ex.
plain the reason why.
This peace party-this anti war party
$ made up Of very strange kind of men,
They are very Impatient for peace, at the
SAME time they know the kind of peace they
swami will involve the country ia more
terrible and bloody war in FIVE years than
we have ever heard Of. (App!suse.)
Mr.. Curry you see goes on to say shat if
hIr. Lincoln should be reelected; 'the hopes
OF the Southern COnfederacy will be dashed
to tho ground" and so forth. Now don't
propose to Join Mr.. Curry in his electioneer-
ing tour for the peace candidates, or any Of
his crowd.
If / find the leading rebels in favor of a
man, 1 don't think 1 ought to be. But if
find them denouncing a man and opposing
him, as they do Mr.. Lincoln, l can't bel p

we can destroy their armies; we can kill
