that the persistent opposition to them BY the

EM is hoped that John Bull feels good
In his mind, just now. He made himself d
party to this Wal. because his toryism burned
in bis bones, and the opportunity was too
good to fail to give 1t vent. He put his hand
in his pocket, built q vessel, armed it, man.
ned Il, and sent it out on the ocean to des-
troy our commerce. But piracy got to be a
tiresome business after while Johnny
wanted something better. Havlug had his
way eo long among parcel Of .unarmed wo.
men on the high seas, he felt himself strong
enough to do something bigger. 80 taking
q big drink Of whisky, he calls on his bottle
holders and plug uglies to- 60 out and see
him whip the Yankees It turned out lit
tie different from his calculations. Like
, Pats old musket blazing at q squirrel, it
kicked the owner oyer, only to the mlrth os

REBEL TER MS or PEACE.

About eighteen months ago, HenryJ. May,
member Of Congress from Baltimore, pro-
claimed increasingly on the floor of the House
that the rebels were willing to return to the
Union on certain conditions he was 50 full
Of this belief, that he was allowed to visit
Richmond and have En- interview with the
rebel chief, for the purpose OF ascertaining
the terms on which they were willing to 1sy
down their arms and come back. He saw
Davis and his Cabinet and Congress,
and all the great leaders Of: secession,
and laid before them Ills mission. They
told him the thing was 1mpossible; that
they would not return to the old Union while
rebel Was left to fire a gun; that no terms
could be offered which they would look at.
a:If your Government should authorize your
said they, "to write your name at the bot
sstom Of q blank sheet Of paper, leaving uB
ssto ELL it with conditions and Btipula-
<.tions to suit ourselves, re would not ac-
"cept t."
The Hon. Henry J. May returned to Wash
dpgton considerably cresttallen- From that
day to this no man has heard him say that
the rebels would voluntarily return to the
Union If certain concessions we're made to
them. We believe that since then he advo.
Gates disunion peace, and letting the Union
slide, holding that the rebels cannot be con-
quered. This is the position taken by Fer
nando Wood. It was abput the time
of Mays pilgrimage TO Richmond and
the publication Of the story In the
secesh Timer, Of the ornamental iap-
panner, J. Westley Green, that Fernando
was full of the same idea Of saving the Union
