THK PATE 70 PEACE.

Fren the Augusta CozstitutionAlstl
The glorious enthusiasm which existed In the
first stages Of the war has sRzin revived
throughout the land. The armies are being ran.
idly recruited. The people at home are more
sRnguins, and all lock forward to the future
without misgivipgs as TO the result of cur sue
cess. Tbs aspect is decidedly encouraging, no
matter from what standpoint s1s s~itustion Is
viewed. The political horizon is clear. and the
bow fall Of promise. The suferingS and the
sacrifices which We hAYe been called on TO
make viii soon be rewarded. Yet q litfle while
and cur people viii be pleased With peaes.
But that Independence and pezce must be
won by the stout hearts and strong arms OF the
gallant men who are nov keeping watch and
ward over our honor and our liberty. Look not
for assistance from abroad. There Is no faith
30 be placed In the Northern peace party, In the
foreign policy of Great BriEzin, or Of any other
county. All who expect assistance from
abroad viii be doomed to disappointment. We
have been deceived By these bubbles TOO often,
and experience at least should teach Us to rely
solely upon our OWE exertious. There viii be-
no change in the Britiah Cabinet.
Tbs recent attacks Of Earl DsFby and
DisrAeli upon Earl Russsl's foreign policy via
not produce a change Of ministry, and without
mat there's not ths slightest chance Of ENGLAND
Interfering in eur behalf. Even in tho event Of
such a change, it Is very questionable whether
that 0overament eould be induced to recognize
she Csnfederaey. A general European war
Is Eosimprobsble, and Crest Britain and France
viii be SO much interested ct home that our AZ
fairs will not occupy = great deal Of atseutica
or sympathy. The same unjust and iukswaFm |
policy will be pursued toward the South, We
musi not LOOK for assistance from Ehst quarter. |
Another deiusivo idea, which viii prove eousL
~ as taHacious as the long looked Tor European |
recognition, is the hops thst the Northern De.
moersey will make peace with US, should they
BE successful IN the approaching Presidential |
election. Many of cur people are of this onin.
