Gov. BRoUGH on PEAcE.--Gov. Brough
of Ohio, in his inaugural address, thus speaks
OF the only modes Of securing peace
There are but two ways in which the resto-
ration Of peace and the Union are 10 be ac-
oinplished-hrst, the unconditional surrender
OF the leaders, and the abandonment of the
rebellion--or, second, the continued progress
and conqnests of our arms, until the military
power Of the Confederacy is broken, aud the
heart OF the rebellion crushed All interme-
diate plans or schemes are mere palliatives,
that, like our compromises Of the past fifteen
years, will only serve TO procrastinate exis-
ting evils: restore peace that will require con-
slant watchfulness and concessions: and
prosperity that will be dependant upon almost
annual sacrifices to avoid future demands and
Instructions. In view of the permanence of
our Government and the integrity Of our
Union, Laere Is no such thing as compromise
with rebels in arms against both. Turn from
II as we may. the great truth is apparent 10
every reasoning mind, that submission or sub
jngation, for the leaders Of this rebellion, are
the only effective means OF restoring peace
and good government again.
