"This declaration reahirms and reia-

Is one which is most profoundly shared

and heartfelt longing Of the great mass 81
the American people, In every State ana
10 every part Of the cOHntYy, is ~ the
restoration Of Peace. The President can
express no desire for that result which the

he nigh have omitted the second of these

FIRST alone, as essential to the reception

this abandonment need not be exacted BY

TIE IssUE.-"I shall never vote again

party whom have believed Il begin to

Union but cannot give my sanction to
a President who makes abolition an ab-
solutc condition even 10 the hearing OF
propositions from the rebels"
That gentleman, we have reason to be-
lieve, spoke the sentiments of hundreds
of his party in Hartford. For the sake Of
our common country and the credit o.
our whole people, we would gladly be-
leve that such sentiments would com
mand the approval of every Republican
voter. But facts compel US to say, that
there are about as many Republicans who
endorse Lincoln's unpatriotic position. as
there are those of that party who, like
the gentleman above spoken Of, condemn
it. More than one we have heard utter
this sentiment: Il am glad of that letter.
No proposition ought to be entertained
the war ought to go on until the rebels
are thoroughly subjugated; and rather
than see the old Union restored, with
slavery I would see the whole country
sunk forever, deeper than the bottomless
pitt"
Such are their actual words. Such are
the conflicting sentiments of the Republi-
can party in Hartford, and, we judge,
elsewhere, at this time, after more than
three years and three months Of such war
as the world never before witnessed.

had two snuff boxes-a round one, which
be carried on Sunday, and square one,
which he carried during the week. The

ography was called out and the question
asked:
What is the shape of the earth p
The 6rst boy, appalled, by the appear

success, and all went on swimmingly un.
til one day she heard him use the Lords
name in anything but reverent manner.
Calling Bud to her she proceeded to lee
ture him upon the enormity Of the deed,
telling him that he would certainly 60 to
