Then the two governments are ,irrecouci=

TO tight it out, But il. is not so with the
people They are tired Of fighting and
want peace and as they bear oil the bur-

Well, suppose the two governments
should agree to something like this: 70
go to the people with two propositions
say, peace, with disunion and Southern in.
dependence, as your proposition-and
peace, with union, emancipation, no confs.
cation, and universal amnesty. as ours.
Let the citizens of all the United States
(as they existed before the war) vote Yes
or No on these two propositions at d spee-
ial election within sixty days, If major.
ity votes Uuion,. yours to be bonnd BY it,
and to stay in peace. The two govern
ments can contract ia this way, and the
people, though consiitutionalIy unable 10
decide on peace or war, can elect wfici, of
the two propositions shall govern their rus
lers. Let Lcs and Grant, meanwhile.
agree to an armistiee. This would sheathe
the sword, and it once sheathed would ney.

The plan is altogether imprsetieable.
II The South we're only one State, il might
work but. as it is. if one Southern state
objected, it would nullify the whole thing,
