gracious protection of heaven, are not afraid to
avow sincere desire for peace on terms consistent
with Gus honor, and the permanent security OF our
rights, aud an earnest aspiration to see che world
once more restored to the benefcent pursuits of
industry and of mutual intercourse and exchanges,
SO essential to its well being, and which haphbeen
so grave interrupted by the existence OF this un-
natural war In America.
But if our adversaries, or those whom thsEt have
placed in authority, deaf to the voice otreason
and justice, steeled against the dictates OF both
prudence and humanity by a presumptuous and
delusive confidence in their own numbers, or those
of their black and foreign mercenaries, shall deter
mine upon an indefinite prolongation OF the con-
test, upon them be the responsibility of decision
so runous to themselves and SO I'M urious. to the
interests and repose of mankind.
For ourselves we have no fear of the result.
The widest picture ever dr&Wn of disorderea
imagination comes short of the extravaganza which
could dream of the conquest Of eight millions OF
people, resolved with one mind "to die .freemen
rather than live slaves" and Srewarned by the
savage and exterminating spirit IN WHICH this war
has been waged upon them, and by the mad avow-
ais of its patrons and supporters of the worse than
Egyptian honda ge that awaits them in the event
of their subjugation.
With these declarations Of our dispositions, our
principles and our purposes, we.commit our cause
to the enlightened judgment of the world, to the
sober reflection Of our adversares themselves, and
to the solemn and righteous arbitration of Heaven
