change makes the following ForCibls obs
betvAIIOus;
The intention Of PR6Eideuce in this mat,
ter Is made clear by events. We'ean never
see this divine undercurrent, and attempts
to govern our course by it generally fail.
We are limited in our politics to doing
what is right in itself, and being right, is
also expedient as far as We can see. Fol-
loving this narrow path, often in doubt
aud peril, We End Il opening ut last upon
some table land, from which We can see
wheIe and why We have CROPPED our way.
Tho proVidentIAl aim OF the war has be.
come clear to all who believe 10 the posi-
hility Of truth and justice on the EARTH
1t Waslour duty TO put down the rebellion AZ
once when IL began. We tried to do IL,
and believed that we should. The foresight
of 9 three years. war, aud the opening Of
the fourth year with more than half mil.
lion loyal men under arms, would then
have appalled, US. But the national cour.
age has risen with the demand for II, aud
there is less Wayering and doubt now than
ever before. Aud this is due in no small
degree to the faith of the people In the
providential purposes Of the war. They
believe that it is certain to destroy slavery,
and, with Reyerdy Johnson, that by its de-
struction our national prosperity and glory
will both be almost immeasurAbiy enhauc-
ed. With the inspiration OF such faith
come patience, energy and the uuyielding
determination never to rest or hold back
till the great object is accomplished.
1.-THE rebellion had been crushed in six
months or year, or even in two years, the
damage suffered by slavery would have
been Comparatively small. AT the end of
three years We see West Virginia, Mary
land, Missouri, Louisiana and Arkansas
nov or about to be delivered from slavery
by the act of their own loyal people, and
Tennessee ready for the same purgation as
soon as she can be effectualIy protected
from rebel incursions. Under no probable
circumstances can the institution ever be
re established in these Statee, while In a
wide belt of country within the rebel lines
it is already 60 broken and insecure MS to
be a source Of loss and annoyance. Isuot
the work already accomplished worth all il
has cost the uaIion2 And If the progress
of our armies shall DO no more rapid than
Ii has been, It is easy to estimate the time
| still required for the complete cxtirpatiou
of slavery aud the rebellion. Ii it takes
even smother three years it will be a small
price to pay for so great a deliVerance.-
We all desire peace, but not till the object
of the war is won, and we can have peace

Of all our errors aud faults.
