of Lincoln upon the people, and
weaken his power as President, which
his grasping ambition could but lily
brook. It's action would express only
the sentiments of the people, which IS
already known to be for peace, and
would in no degree effect the present
condition Of affairs, being totally I'M
authorized to act for the cessation OF
hostiIities, or the restoration Of peace.
We are not perfectly sure that the
converting of the Chicago Cnvention
on the 29th inst. will be undasturbesl
bv the minions of Abraham /. Per-
haps he may understand that, by dis
tubing its sitting, he will raise cry
throughout his country, (Which the
disturbance of a general convention
would not,) that will forever ruin his
and the prospects of the party he
represents, and may, ia consequence,
leave 1T to adopt q platform and nolnl-
nate candidates ct its pleasure. =
Whether aae prevents its converting or
leaves it aeadistnrbed is yet to be seen !;
but neither course will rebound to his
advantage. Ifthey be free to act they
have but to unfurl the banner Of
peace, coupled with the acknowledge
meat of the rights Of the States, to
hurl one from and prevent the ac-
QUESTION Of power by the other Of the
two war parties who have already
placed their favorites in nomination.
Such action may be anticipated from
the late speeches Of Mr.. Vallanding-
ham, at Dayton Ohio, and Syra-
cuse New York would receive more
encouragement from the people Of the
Confederate States than could posi-
bly, be given by delegates TO a general
convention. tits not treasonhere to say
that we are all-olficials, soldiers and
citizens-anxious for,-yes, would
hail, with joyful aoelamations, the
return Of peace peace, leaving the
States untrammeled and sovereign, as
they are recognized to be under the
Constitution, from which the power Of
the General Government ofthe United
States, as the agent Of those sovereign
States, was derived.
Our proposition is before the world,
has been from the beginning of the
contest, and has lately gone forth
again from our able President, Of -
Yankee statement can be relied upon)
which sufficiently indicates that we
are ready to cooperate with The
peace party at the North to bring
about a cessation of hostilities upon
those terms which ore alone just and
equitable. It needs no general conven-
tion-our delegates, to which could
only say what has been proclaimed to
Northern ears a thousand times, but
let peace candidates be nominated and
elected, and we are ready to make
peace upon the very terms so strongly
and ably set forth by the head and
front of the peace party, Hon. Alex
ander Long, Of Ohio, viz the reoog-
milton Of the sovereignty and indepen-
dence of the States composing this
Confederacy.
