Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1864-04-07

Issue face &c face. Let Mr. Sswsrd t,y If he can
write one solitary dispatch without some inssa-
tionel perversion of the truth, aud confine him
self 10 tho Legitimate purposes OF diplomatic
correspondence abroad, instead Of loading the
f.es Of the STATE Department with clap trap
and misrepresentation Of home consumption aud
deception.
Let Mr.. Stanton, instead Of flooding .hs
country with false bulletins from iIrespons be
or fictitious source, underwriting the strength
| and resources Of tbs enemy; exs2gerstiDg HEuts
and sufsrings, multiplying their TeYerses and
cur trIunphs, give himself Up for ever 80 brief
space, to the dissemination Of sshea truth,
Wnica the people are entitled to have in regard
to struggle for which they are taxed to the ut
moss "a treasury and blood. With vhs. lace
can be ssseTs the war 20 be the peoples var,
when, alter having caused the press to tsen
with telegfsms announcing the almcss upiysr-
sal and enthusiastic re enlistment Of the vste-
rams of the army, be has caused the President
to refuse to give the House of Representatives
any information on tlls subject, on the ground
that il would be "prejldicial to the public IN
teEesff" II the Administration will nOs ven
turs to pursue the plain, Straightforward course
we indicate, let Il cease to pTEts Of its policy
rooted Ia the eoHiionee OF the people. II the
people uphold Il, why eoaeesl from the people
what they uphold Or, Is Il that the war can
be unfinished in is pretended populsEisy only
50 long as The people are kept fTom knowing
What it Is and what ii premises.
We are rgjoicsd 70 see that these considsI4-
tons, and Others akin 20 them, are opening 50
msuy long blinded eyes. The people have ba-
gnn 10 think for themselves az last, and there
ear DO but one result of thsir 50 dling, if they
will but speak out, fesElessy, what they think.
The war cannot bear probing into its causes, its
conduct, its purposes OF its prospects. Il can
not surVi Ts The touch Of freo thought and fee
speech Tho friends of peace have heretofore
lacked b9ldness and confidence in themselves
and their cause. Deserted At ths outset by those
in whom they trusted as leaders, it is scarcely
to De wondered that they should have dsspsired
and Rave permitted themselves 70 be bullisd cut
Of the expression Of their eonyie.ion-nsy, 81
most out Of lhsss cOnvietions themselves
But times have changed TIE tide is now
setting in he right direction; they mast take It
st the heod. The people must no. wait for men
to lead them now. Humanity, civilization, the
blessed tsIehing8 Of Christianity, srs leaders
enough. The renegade Of to-day viii be only
too happy to return IS the ezuse Of peace de-
yslepss It's grand proportions and It's strength
Lei, then, every man who wants peace cry peace.
Let there be no disguise-nO catering for popu-
iariY, or for this influences or ihst--no putting
on Of the devils livery. The cause can and
will take care Of itself and its Hdvocates if they
are not afrsid to proclaim their allegiance to it
Let no man be fooled or frightened By ;he sHg-
gestioa, that he is boUpd to support the Gov
eminent" or that, by crying out for peace, be
is IS embarrassing the Government"
Unless we grsstly err, the seemingly small
voices today viii be found enough for them,
ere many mouows. The people yesrn for pssee
and they viii have It. They are tired Of mill
tsTy necessity and military rule. They prefer
the Government created By the Constilutioa 20
war begOttsn desPo:ism, supported by black
jsnisssFies. They do not desire TO exteY-
inmate the ssye sristocrsey" at the South
in order to estAblishs a. the North, sn
sTis!ocrasy Of shoulder straps and cav
airy boots. TRey believe that lhs mission of this
republic Is something better than miseegenation,
or The establishment OF negro squslity OF sups-
noTity. They will endure taxation, privaHons
and sacrifices no longer to deity the idols Of
New Eugland's hypocrisy, eupiditS and fAnati-
eism. They yeaIR for psses, We repeat, and
pace they will have
