test it is natural that n portion of our
people should display some anxiety to
anticipate it, with plans and PROPOSE
tons that, upon superficial eXaminal
ton, may promise to hasten its adjust,
Iment.r
We want pcace-the North rs we'll
as The South; but we have not passed
the terrible ordeal of the last thrco
years, to make or accept peace upon
any other than honorable terms, or
without the promise of permanent
adjustment and endurance. We can
not negotiate with rebels in arms, or
admit of anything from them but. un-
conditional surrender and submission
Much we can pardon to the masses of
the people, but the leaders must reap
ofthe harvest they have sown. The
ipast has its punishment that may be
mitigated or forgiven; but the future
must have full and ample security.
1t is simple folly to talk of suppress
ing this Rebellion and restoring the
unity of the country, without fsst sub
Iiugating the military power oGthe Con-
fcderacy, or relieving the people of the
seeding States from its controlling
Iinfuoncc-and in many cases, oppras-
Ision. 1t does not follow that the de-
strnction Of the military power Of the
South is the subiugation Of the people,
In many cases it will prove their en-
Ifranchisoment. There isa loyal Senti-
Imcnt and population in nearly if not
quite, all the Southern States. Where
too strong, or too-open in its manifest
ations, the military power has cssaycd
Iby possible means, to keep it in
lsubiugation. Men holding and eX.
pressing loyal sentiments, have been
lined, imprisoned, hunted into the for.
ests and mountains; and :2any Of them
suffered death;-whie their families
have been impoverished and ruined
Political misunderstanding men, who
had secretly plotted the overthrow ot
, our Goycrnmcnt-led fcw--but act
ually forced Il majority of the Southern
States into Secession and rebellion
