Of quiet and peace forever, we say to
T them, to him who scoIts that proHered
love and kindness, let ne meet him With
sharp, quick, decisive war, that shall
bring the war to an end, to the extin-
gnishment Of such men whsreser they
may be. Applanse

and treasure have been poured out,
spent without measure, until takiag ad-
vantage Of supposed depletion Of treas
Hre, hEsts bad men have banded together,

De the circulating medium, and raised
upon the poor man the price Of the Goals
upon his hearth, and the bread upon his
table Let some measures be taken to
stop that OF perhaps better measure
than any other 10 to let if be understood
that hereafter VIC pay no mere boansies
fFsm the taxes OF the North, but taking
counsel from the Roman method OF car

go down there, and you shall have what
ever you get BY fair division; We will
open rev land Offices wherever osr
armies march, distributing land among
the soldiers, to be their and their heirs

A harsh measure, everybody will say;
but Is It not quite as Just rs il Is that We
should tax ourselves, and raise the price
OF the necessAries Of life for the purpose
OF giving bonnties and sapport to the
soldiers II lighting these men whom We
have three times ever solemnly called 10

OF January, 1868. And when the clock
strikes the last kRell Of that parting
day, and then ali hope Of return Of
