about Inc war, than they have been since its
opening. Each batch is more sombsr than the
preceding one. To compare the editorials CT
this month with those Of November last, is
very pleasant and genial amusement for Con-

EXTRACTS FROM THE SPEECH OF SENATOR
WALL.
The mad fsnatcism that now rules the hour
would extinguish this FIRE by feeding il with
more fuel. They would pour FIRE upon the con.
Gsgrstion instead of wateT They would save
the Union through the very agencies by which
the Unicn has been destroyed, or most serious
ly endangered. They would strengthen the
fabric of the Constitution by repeated assaults
upon the foundation. They would instruct
men how to smpliy aud preserve their own lib
critics by sAuctioniDg the annihilaton of the lib
critics of their neighbors. They would yiolEts
one part of tie Constitution in order to preserve
another. Many of them, in their patriotic zeal,
sre very much like Sir Boyle Roche, in the
British Parliament, "Who was willing to give up
not only part, but, if necessary, the whole of
the Constitution in order TO save the remainder"
We doubt whether, if all the mad houses were
let loose, there could be mustered such q coIlec-
ton Of ineomprehenSible and mad theorists as
now hsve control and are shaping the policy Of
this unfortunate Government. Ifthese men think
they can calcine ice out Of gunpoWder and
mako silk out of cobwebs, or bottle up sun
light to let out upon their gardens in inclement
seaSous, 1 have the right Of calling in question
the system of reasoning by which they have
brought their minds to such absurd conclusions.
1 know that the question is time and again
propounded, through what avenue can we ar
rive at settlement CT the grave issues of the
hour, save through vigorous prosecution Of
the Wsri l answer, not through the agencies
Of continued war, certainly never through war
enbitteTed by the ex25persting and insane legis-
lation of the North. The plan Of coneiliStion
of the ruling powers seem to be that Of the infa-
moss duke OF Alva toward the unhappy Meth
eIlAnders, to make every SOutheIner feel as be
lays down at night or rises in the morning, that
his house at any hour may fall and crush him.
Il would scem Teslly, TO read tho debates in the
Senate and House at Washington, As il these
bodies were endesvoripg to revive the spirit and
transactions of Alva's g Council Of Blood"
The experience Of three years Of this species Of
policy still finds, as every sane man knew il
would, the Southern armies in the field, strength
ened in numbers, more effective By discipline,
aud breat hing hate and defiance embittered by
policy pursued toward Them that has no war
rant except in the practice Of The most baIbar-
GUS nations. A continuance Of such war and
such policy must only widen the breach, and
render separation eeTtsin, and reconstruction
impossible. If asked how / would propose TO
settle the issue of the hour, my answer would
be that of Burke, in the House Of Commons in
1775
From the commencement OF the breaking ont
OF tie rebellion in the colonies against the
mother country Mr.. Barko directed most dili-
gent attention 10 plan of Cancellation, ss in
Tolving the primary interests of a great en-
pirs.. BY maintaining = constant intercourse
with many of the enlightened characters Of the
different colonial provinces, he acquired more
extensive and intimate knowledge of tbs physi-
cal and moral condition Of the eolonisis, with
their real views, disposition, and resources, than
was attained by any of his contemporaries
The result of this investigation was = decided
conviction that be boldly announced through
every stage of the controversy, that the exhs-
psraied feeling which existed in the colonies
could only be allayed, and their slisnstsd at
tschmenI revived and fundamentally secured,
by placing them exactly on the footiDgethey
stood previous to the rebellion II the mon
who now elsmor for pesce, and predict sepsra-
tion, if not granted, were traitors, so was Mr.
Burke. The national life OF the mother coun-
try was just ss much endangered there By the
existencs of the rebellion, as it is now. And
yet no man in Eeglsnd who had any reputation
dared 10 charge Burke and such statesmen as
Fox, Chatham, Pit, Barre, Lutterel, Ponnan,
and others who sustained his views, as traitors,
disloyal to the State. He desired peace because
it could have been had then without ths dis
memberment Of the empire for, as he foAetold,
. few moro years Of war and tho pesee would
have to como, but with the loss Of the very
onies to which the ministry had hsld on With
such death grip.
"My proposition said this bold commoner,
" is peace. Not peace through the medium of
war; bat peace to be hunted through the laby-
rinths of negotiations; not pesce to arise out
of universal discord, fomented in all parts Of
the empire; not pesce to depend on the Judi
cisl determination Of perplexing questions, or
the precise marking OF the shadoWy boundaries
Of complex government. It is simple paacs,
sought in its natural course its ordinary hsunis.
II Is peace sought in the spirit Of pesee, and
laid in principles purely pacific. propose, by
moving the grounds Of difference, and by re-
storing the former unsuspecsing confidence Of
tie people in tie mother country, to give per-
msnent satisfaction TO your people. l mean 10
give peace. Peace implies reconciliation, and
where there has been mstsriAl dispute, recon-
ciliatien does imply, in manner, concession on
the one part or the other. In this state Of
things, the proposal I make bold to affirm,
ought to originate with Us. The superior power,
wrong as the colonies msy be, or you think
they may be, can afford peace with honor and
safety. Such an offer, from such power, viii
be attributed to magnanimity; but the conces-
sions of the weak ere the concessions Of fear I"
The words of wisdom were not heeded by the
vigorous prosecution Of the war politicians Of
that day and Great Britain lost her colonial
possessions by the same blind obstinaey, short
sightedness, and insane vanity that may yet de-
stToy this Union, and secure the final independ-
ence Of the Southern section. Admitting that
! our arms had been attended with all the success
which the most ssnguine advocates Of the Wal
