NLELLAA WILL NES IOHh
PEACE AND UNION-THE Y
LECTION OF ABRAHAM I'm
coin WILL CONTINUE CIVIL
WAR AND DISUNION.
On the first pace of tO-dsy's Seatasl
we publish an article from the Richmond
Erdmiasr, the organ Of JEFF Davis, and the
first paper in Virginia that came out in favor
of Secession, favoring the reelection of
Abraham Lincoln 10 the Presidency. Read
particularly the following paragraph from
the Examiner:
But for the incentives supplied by Mr,
Lincoln, the South, BY want OF uRioa and
energy, might have failed TO deserve the re-
speet Of mankind; might have been unable
to levy great armies and the forces in the
field might have fought with little energy or
for restoration. The popular majority might
have been disposed, at the FIRST soft words
from the enemy, 90 renouncc the southern
cause and return to the enjoyment Of repose,
prosperity and dishonOr. Mr.. Lincoln has
prevented sucha contingency, and relieved
/ the South of ali these dangers by course
of policy which rendered reconstruction I'M
possible. BIZ drici,g is 70 eniren'iig he has
.on,biaei er5y eteHlsai gf oar strength, and
eIIsltfed our success Ii the South could he
conquered at all, there is bnt, one way b..
which il could he done. II the armies OF
the north we're entirely withdrawn, and an
invitation proposed for a convention of all
the states, for the purpose Of devising terms
of conciliation, then our independence might
! be seriously endangered Such would have
! been the policy OF Pierce or Vallandigham;
| such possibly. though not probably, might
become the policy Of Mcclellan. But Mr..
Lincoln relieves US Of this only possible dan
ger by a policy which drives every man to
arms, and renders reconstruction all OPP
! probrium .throughoutthe land. -
The E.camiaer in the above paragraph
reiterates the sentiments Of every original
Socessionist in the South. They fear that
the election of Mcclellan would create a
Union sentiment IN the South, that would
eventually restore the Union; while the re-
election of Lincoln viii only more firmly
unite the rebels Of the South and make
Peace and Union impossible.
On the same page Of this week. paper
we give letter from Hon. VIM. w. Boyce,
of South Carolina to Jefferson Davis. Mr..
Boyce was for many years member of the
Federal Congress from that State. In his
letter, among other noticeable things, he
Says
II admit in the first place that a successful
military defense is Indispensable without
/ that nothing can be anticipated but utter
ruin. But is this all? | think not. There
is something over and above success IN war.
That is political policy. If Mr.. Lincoln re-
mains in power there is no hope OF accom-
plishing anything by political policy. Mr.
Lincoln is the exponent of the tunatlclsm
and hatred of the North. He holds power
because he is the exponent OF these sentl-
ments of his party; in order to be masters
OF others, he has to be their slave. lie can
not be rational upon the subject OF slavery,
because he represents madmen; he cannot
exercise what Bulke calls the truest political
wisdom, nlagnanimity because he represents
maIgnants. Besides Mr.. Lincoln is conf
mitted by his past career to the most vlo'
lent course. If he had been statesman
when he became President, he could by q
: wise policy have restored harmony.
"But in that great crisis, when statesman
ship could have accomplished so much, he
used no efforts to harmonze, but yleldec
himself up a mere instrument OF the toohsf
mob, as if craftsmanship came from below
upwards. Mr.. VIM. II. Seward, by hi:

ton, but lust at the moment when 1t became
necessary to put in force his fine maxlms

tion policy, the license he gives his armiest

relies on nothing but force. I confess
