New YORK, Feb. S.-The following Is a
portion Of the article from the Richmond
Sentinel, referred to in the noon report
Let US keep clearly in view that independ-
ence, TO maintain which we drew the
sword. Listen TO no suggestion for its
compromise at the price Of peace. Such a
peace would, indeed, be but hollow truce
and an uneasy armistice. There can be 10
permanent peace where honor is eompro-
missed, or where vital and importsnt inter
ests are placed in peril. 1t would be mad
ness it would be an unnatural cruelty
after having fought this battle nearly
through, to adjourn it over for our children
to begin it anew. In the tide of human
events this terrible struggle has fallen TO
our lot. Thus far we have met it as men
thus far we need not fear the verdict of his
tory and the Judgment Of the world. The
past, at least, is secure. Shall we sacrifice
all our honor through a sudden weakness
row Shall we sell the measure of our
great fame for any ease which may be
bought, short of full success Shall we,
by an unmanly shrinking from dangers
which we have braved for four years, leave
a heritage of blood for our children for
| which they shall curse our memories 2 Let
US stand firmly TO our responsibilities.
The article closes with this explanation
| We have extended these remarks to their
present length, lest the missions between
this capitol and Washington should en-
feeble US with injurious expectations.
