sIF,--Thc timo has fully come,
when our present var should Ge
brought to a close. We have spent
three years aud five months in
fighting our own brolherS-bone
of our bone, and flesh of our
flesh and still we are not at the
goal for which We set out. Our
"on TO Richmond is u circle, with
out an end-round and round ; and
expect that our on to Atlapa
will turn out to be like our ION to
Richmond" What are you going
to make of our country? Must
the entire population be destroyed?
Don't you sec that the laws Of pa-
ture-which are but the law of
God-are beng perverted, subvert-
cd, and thwarted by your imperial
rule. Tens of thousands of hus.
bands, aud hundreds of thousands
! of young men have been shot, or
1 rendered useless for life, by the
great American Republican war.
I These men We're sent into the world
to be fruittul-to replenish the
/ earth-and to multiply, and the
i law of ~uecency and order demands,
THAT man should marry, and con.
. s%equent'y, God created woman to
be a heIpmeet for him. What.
then, is to become OF our fine young
women, who must remain single,
because the young men who would
become their husbands, are shot on
t the battlefield? This fact, sir,
E may cause the foolish to smile, but
1t Is a mtss serious thing, and
ought to lead you and your Cabi.
! net to ponder your political path.
You are striving with your Maker,
and you know, sir, that it is writ
ten-"Woe unto him hal striveth
with his Maker" To turn women
. on to the streets of New York,
' or any other city, in order to free
the negroes, is a crime Of which !
: should not like to be guilty.
To reflect upon the past three
years ofyour reign. must be to you
a fearful task. Think, sir, of the
number of men killed and wounded
o& the battle feld-think of the
national debt created think OF
hearts 6roken-think of the mum
Der Of women made widows
. think OF the number of children
made MISUNDERSTANDING of the
