IT, upon the other hand, they are willing to CON
time the present policy Of the Government and
condition Of affairs, Let them act with that organ
ration which made the present condition Of oul
country. There are many good men who may b'
led to do this by tholr passions and preudcss, and
our land swarms with placemsn who will hold upor
I power with deadly grasp.
But 40 for Us, We are resolved that the party
which has made the history of our country sinc'
its advent to power, seem like some unnatural and
terrible dream, shall be ovsrihrowu. -Four year,

that by our action Il shall die here, where 1t was
born. -
We deslre Union and peace, and the Administers

conditions and exact price which they we'll know
will proong the war, aud the war unday prolonged
becomes disunion. Wiss stateEmanship can now
bring this war to a close upon the terms solemnly
set forth by the Government at the outset Of tue
