Is the Present War by Divine Direc-
ton, OF Only Permitted

The Cincinnati Enquirer says: How
many fancy that they see the hand of an
Advise Providence in the conduct Of the
war that now sweeps like commingling
flames over the whole land Even min
listers protesting to be called of God to
preach salyation-to preach gospel Of
"peace on earth and good will to men I"
--"that nations should learn war no
more, but beat their swords into plough
shares and their spears into pruning
hooks "--even these robed men of sacred
orders and divine missions, find it in their
souls to gloat in carnage, to huzza at re-
ports of the capture and destruction, by
devouring flames, Of the last supplies to
n country Of helpless women and chill
dren. The cries of want are music in
their ears. Oh, yes, this is the gospel Of
salvation from their sins But more than
this, those heralds of mercy can bear.-
General orders giving license for personal
insults and abuse to helpless wemen, is
another source Of exquisite delight to the
modern philosophers Of human bliss
All It's Gods long forbearance Of sacer-
dotal dignity from being suddenly en-
quilted by the opening up of the depths
beneath. They are monsters of such
mammoth proportions and sable hue, as
to battle description and challenge the ex-
ecration and contepmt of all mankind
Still they pray "for all that are in au-
thority that zoe may lead quiet and
peaeeable life in all GOODNESS and hon.
esty." Their prayers in this have signal
ly failed to reach Heaven acceptably, as
they have prayed for the success Of the
Federal arms and the overthrow of the
rebellion. Have these saints (G) proved
the efficacy of their prayers by living qui-
ct and peaceable lives in all goodness and
honesty? Verify, they have rejoiced in
the war-whoop, destruction by fire and
sword, and no less in robbing and pillag-
ing. Much dependence upon their pray
ersi No. "They that bear iniquity in
their hearts, the Lord will not hear
When will such folly cease, and when re-
ligion, common sense and moderation as
sumo swsyi Till then We will be in
darkness still.

ALL are wise enough to anticipate the
dreariness Of the winter to come. The
great cause Of our calamities lies in the
obstinate persistence Of this Administra.
ton, in pursuing course which will pu.
of the day of peace, and finally make
Union again impossible, if carried too far,
The only hope this people can have of re-
lief is by change Of rulers. We do no;
say this in the interest Of party, but ia
the interest Of the country. Any one
who is man, who has one spark Of true
mhnliness in him, who loves his country,
his family, himself, will openly acknowl.
edge that the past has been an error, and
that the only hope of change is for the
better, lies in the election Of an able con-
sentative man for tho next President Of
the United States.

A MONTH ago the Tribune confessed
boldly that, but for the uuanimity and
conserving together of the northern re-
publicans and the southern secessionists,
Abraham Lincoln could never have been
elected President. 1t confessed openly
that Abraham Lincoln's election was the
object of their common endeavor. They
Of the South believed disunion was in.
evitable upon his election. They Of the
North labored to prove by statistics that
the Union was worth less than dollar a
head to the people north of the Potomac
and the Ohio. Pulling together thus,
they elected Mr.. Lincoln and brought on
civil war, with its mountains Of debt and
all its horrors Of slaughter.

PEAcE.-This idea-the necessity for
peace-is becoming so thoroughly in
corporated in the hearts and wishes Of
the American people that no amount Of
sophistry or chicanery can eradicate it,
and il the signs of the times do not mis-
lead, we are warranted in saying that
next November it will be Numbered into
the ears Of the dynasty that now mis-
rules and would continue that misrule, in
such tones as will cause an awakening
from the lethargy into which it has fallen.
Then regret will predominant in its mind,
not for political sins, but that its overthrow
is complete, its power ended, life extinct
past resuscitation, and the country saved.

THE editor of the Union is disturbed
in his mind. Hear him. In his issue of
August 9th he says, referring TO the Of
fort Of prominent men of both parties, in
1852, to avoid the bitterness of a party
campaign, which was only defeated by the
republicans taking the position, and ad-
herring To it. that the only union they
would have was that all who chose might
unite with the republican party, "Well,
that is played out, and now something
else must be done. Then they abused
the glorious word Union, which next to
their God American patriots most rever-
ence." Readers, we presume you have
heard Of the dodge Of the individual who
had the missing article, calling out lusti-
ly, "Stop thief" Well, this is case Of
that kind precisely. You can all remem-
Der how faithfully the men who now have
control Of tho republican party, and for
the time being the administration of the
government, have labored 10 show the
small value Of the Union by figures and
statistics, carefully drawn up-the amount
Of postage, revenue, &c, DC, paid 10
each section--that the North would be
richer aud stronger without the South.
We believe il can be brought home even
TO the reverend editor himself circulating
such documents, and the fact is uuques-
tiouable that the leaders With the rank
and file Of the old abolition party are the
controlling element in the republican par
ty, from the man who denounced the con-
Stitutiou, which Mr.. Lincoln once took
an oath 10 sustain, as "A league with
death and covenant with hell" down
TO the Union editor. And We have new

or seen that they have reeanted or re-
nounced their old faith. On the contra
ry, in their uuguarded moments, they be-
tray their hatred of the Union. Mr..
Greeley says, "Who wants the Union as
it WAS" Vice President Hamlin says,
"Do you want the Union as it was
We'll, you cant have it." Thad. Stevens
says, God forbid lis restoration" Were
it necessary many Of such abolition utter
ances could be quoted. But it is not nee
essary. The aforesaid leaders no longer
pretend to deny that they are opposed to
the Union as it was. It then follows up
on that theory that we are to have our
government changed. We object to such
change except in the manner proposed by
the constitution. The people supposed
that they elected a President to execute
the laws, not to sweep away as spiders
webs such as does not suit him, and re-
quire men rs condition precedent to cit
izenship to swear TO support all the proc
lamations he has made or may hereafter
see fit to make. If the constitution,
which is the basis and only basis of the
Union, must be altered, let it be done in
the manner therein provided, by men
elected by the people for that purpose
knowing what they want, and then their
work submitted to the people for approx.
al or rejection.
Further, on referring to the call for the
Peace Meeting, he says, "Do you wan,
pesce-Blessed Peace? Ofcourse we do
We have labored and wept and prayed
for it; but we want no disunion peace
such as you offer to bring u.s." We did
not see any such offer. When the read.
or examines his feeble effort and under.
stands that all the peace spoken Of or pro.
posed was can honorable peace" and
sees that the bare mention Of that excites
his holy horror and brings forth such q
frantic appeal to republicans to keep away
he will then, we think, agree with us, that
his "labors and prayers" in that direc
ton, have been excessive; and, as tc
"tears, that curiosity hunter, Barnum,
might covet them. The knowledge such
men have Of the love the American PEG
pie bear for the Union makes them very
persistent in proclaimiug themselves Un
ion men, but their professions in that liut
are entitled TO no more credit than other.
for having made such herculean effort,
for an honorable peace. "By their fruits
ye shall know them"

The New York Herald says: "The
Revolution Of 177e produced galaxy Of
statesmen who set the machinery Of the
government in motion, and presented a
sample of national greatness untivaled in
the world. The experience Of the last
thirty years proves that the types Of the
great men of the Revolution have disap-
pesred and that their places are supplied
by race Of small men and party dema-
gogues, whose selfshness and imbccility
aud utter want Of principle would ami
hilste any free government that ever en-
joyed the smiles Of Heaven"
