ITO WHOM 1T MAY CONCERN"

In the fut lie attempt made to lessen
the rcspo visibility assumed by Presi-
dent Lincoln in the abrupt termination
IF negotia ,ions that might have result
ted in peace and union under the con-
stitution, and to avert some portion
of the popular Indignation which is too
manifest to escape the notice of the ad-
ministration and its supporters, the
plea IS made that Messrs Clay and
Holcomb were not empowered to treat
for union as we'll as peace. Where is
the proof Of this? But at present spec
"lation upon this point is idle. Mr..
Lincoln, nor any one but the commits
toner's, and those sending them, can
know in what character, with what
powers, and for what purposes they
came. But certainty upon all these
points could have been obtained by Mr..
Lincoln, and he refused to avail him
self and the country of the opportuni-
~. His telegram abruptly closed the
door to negotiation.

We would call attention to the ad-
vertisement of Asahel Pierce & Co in
this weeks paper. Having had occa-
sion to look through their stock of
goods, examine quality and prices, VIC
unhesitanngly say that for quantity,
quality and reasonabloness ofprices they
are unsurpassed ia tire city Of Chica-

merchants as upright, honorable men to
deal with, and for corrobora ton of our
opinion refer to their customers IN this
place and elswhere.
The news of the capture of Atlanta
by Gen Sherman is confirmed. The
number of prisoners taken with the

while theirs was something over 1900

for all time to come take it directly to
himself IL. HIM read i. carefully on d
ponder over it. It has made history"
against Mr.. Lincoln. Is it an accep,
tance, a cordial manly welcome Of "any
proposition which embraces the resto-
ration ofreace" and ''the integrity Of
the whole Union," or, is it tho rejec-
ton Of both; for continuance Of all the
horrors Of desolating civil warfare'
In conformity with the programme of
the President ever since the issuance
Of his proclamation Of emancipation, it
is positive refusal in advance to ell
terrain any proposition for Union Or
peace that does not embrace the to-
tai abandonment of slavery" Coupled
with "peace' and Union is q condi-
ton which Mr.. Lincoln regards as
more important than either, or both,
and without which neither union or
peace is desirable or will be accepted
by him. This condition is "the total
abandonment of slavery with the con-
stitutional right of self government.
No man of intelligence now believes,
that Mr. Lincoln is willing that the
union should be restored except in
such form and manner as to destroy
the government of our fathers, for the
sole purpose Of subscribing the inter
ests Of aboli,ionism. lie proclains
himself an unconditional union man.
His telegram ito whom it may con :
cern," makes history for him as a
conditional union man, and that condi-
ton, one which he himself, before sur
rendering himself to the full embrace
of abolitionism, asserted that he had
90 constitutional right to ask; and no
disposition to urge.
The element of peace perhaps of
union, in the south lie SO strong as to
necessitate the appointment of these
representatives, agents or commission =
crs on tho part Of Jefferson Davis.
In the north the peace and union
element is strong enough to compel
Mr.. Lincoln to affect desire to treat
with them.
Why then this pc rsistent obstruc-
ton of every path leading to peace
and union? The old plea that "he
could not treat with rebels in arms"
has long since been exploded by his
own acts. lie could and did treat
with them for the burial of the dead;
why not for the salvation Of the liv-
ing? He insisted upon Treating with
rebels in arms" for an exchange Of
negro prisoners: why not accept an
offer to negotiate for the prevention
of future captures Of white soldiers?
He will treat with them if TREY will
tabauaon slavery" why not if they will
return to the union under the consti-
tuition? With "rebels in arms" he
does not hesitate to negotiate, upon all
means of carrying on the war; why
not to establish peace and union.
Mr.. Voorhees, revealed tie true Sc
cret when he declared ia Congress.
that Mr.. Eacoln did not dare receive
propositions for union or peace; "be-
cause he knows that his party Cannot
outlive the war; AMI a restoration of
the Union and war are Incompatible"
