TWO SORTS OF PEACE.
The following extract from q late speech by
the newly elected Senator (Walker) from Alabama,
graphically depicts the horrors Of subuga,on and the
shame OF any issue to tho short OF independence
TIE Hsp.is rpea! says these eloquent words happily
accord with the sentiments Of that distinguished
Of Georgia, Gen. Cobb, who has recently done 80
much good service To the country In srousng the people
to true sense Of the great dangers which menace u.s.
We arc hero frankly told tho truth that the question Of
success or subjugation depends upon ourselves There
Is hope In foreign intervention. there is no hope IN
the OF the North there Is no hope IN inter
yenton through the Sates there s no hope Ia peace
resolutions tcro is no hope in anything in stout
arms and brave hearts. Let these never be wanting.
We all long for peace, Mr.. Psesdont but no man at
this board trust will willingly live tn SEQ the peace
which will follow subjugation. Endless with all it's
horrors better than such peace rs that. H. IN,

to final defeat in their attempt to maintain the right Of

words TO describe the vision which such future will

brings, the ignominous peace when follows saolu
