WAR

War is the cry-the th.me--the
business--the Alpha and Omega
Of tho day, The fate Of millions.
and the pcrpetuity Of liberty and
freedom OF speech, and OF action,
are now hanging, swinging, and
trembling in the political scales in
the United States. All that enters
into the prosperity, happiness, aud
material wealth of the nation is
now at stake. We are resolved to
conquer the Southern States, and
the Southern States are determined
that they shall not be conquered,
subdued, or crushed by us, The
day of trial of strength is close at
hand What a thought! What
conseque ices and results are in
store tor us!! Are there no wise
men among US, who will sep in
and mediate in the language OF
peace, truth, and %eobrrness, 70
bring both parties to their senses
and thus stay the wrath of mon,
and bring brothers to agree 10 difer'
aud permit them to differ TO agree ?
The contending parties are MT the
best judges as to what steps should
or should not he taken TO put all
end to our present war. The North
is light in its own eyes, in all its
war on the South. The South
thinks itself equally right in its
own eyes, i'll oil its terrible efforts
to resist and drive back the North
ern army. Each party has been
successful OIL the battle field, and
each party has been defeated on
1.-The battle iield-still, the combat
is not over! The flood OF wrath
rises higher-thc fire Of burning
and boiling vengeance wakes hotter
and hotter, aid tue demon OF war
becomes more aud NOR, Unsuitable.
President LINCOLN and his cabinet
feel, or profess to feel, that they are
justified by necessity in all their
war and resoIute proceedings; and
President DAVIS and his Ca ,inet
think, or profess to think, that
they arc forced BY the North to
defend their Southern riglts, which
they Say, have been invaded, ami
tramplcd upon, by The North, VIZ
write naked ana well proven facts,
and our readers of b0ih the Demo
cratic aud the Republican parties
know that we write and "sreak the
truth aI.d lie not"
What mast be done then, TO pu'
all end TO our present war, and Il
restore peace to our bleeding and
convulsed country? We are o.
tho opinion, that, if a;l the slave:
in the Southern States, were to bi
set free tomorrow, and all thC
principal leaders OF tho rebellion
were caught, and even hung by
the neck till they should be dead
dead dead-the rebellion woul,

The New Albany Ledger makes the fol-
lowing point:
In an article urging the people to volun-
teer under the 20 900 call Of Gov. Morton.
the Indianapolis Journal says:
The country never has put forth one
half its strength, not one fifth of it, but
has fought with more than one hand and
one foot tied fast Ly manufactures and con,-
merce, by sluggishness or selfshness, while
the rebels have fought with every limb
loose, and every fibre strung by the ncces-
sity ofsuccess."
Well, if this is true, why is it that the
manufacturing States of New England and
the commercial cities of New York, Phila-
delphia, Plttsburg. &C.. all Of which are
behind in their quotas On former calls for
troops, are exempted from this new levy OF
handredday men, and the whole burden
imposed upon the States of the West
The farmers and mechanics down in this
part of Indiana are anxiously waiting an
answer to this question.
