The Peace Negotiation shadow.

The Peace Negotiation shadow.
The peace missions 10 Richmond which are
making 80 much excitement just now we arc
pretty well assured have nothing in them.
There Is certain class Of people who must be
always fussing or msddling in whatever 10
going on, and Of this class are tho Blairs, the
Colorado Jewetts, the George Sanders and the
Greeleys. They have all had hand in peace
negotiations Colorado Jewett and Greeley,
the head pacifcator and the intermediate paciA-
Gator, on the ono side, and George Sanders and
Jake Thompson, the cunning schemers and
plotters Of Canadian raids, on the other. We
know how sublime fzsle these Niagara nego-
tiations were. There was almost as much noise
and as much m{5t about them as the great falls
themselves, but none Of their substance or
grandeur.
Now we have the senior Blair visiting JsfE.
Davis at Richmond, holding counsel with him
and his Cabinet in secret, hiding himself away
somewhere, either in the top story Of the Spots
wood House or In some obscure boarding
house. For what purposef To negotiate q
peacei II u not pretended that he Is an 90
credited agent Of the government, or is en-
trusted with any proposals from Mr.. Lincoln,
any more than Colorado JeweA or Horace
Greeley was. Mr.. Singleton, Of Illinois, Is in
Richmond, too, an ingram peace man Of the
incorporating = or rather compromising
pattern; for the faction he represents are willing
TO compromise the honor Of the nation for any
terms Of peace
Docs any ono suppose that either
Blair or Singleton can change tho ex
pressed determination Of Jcf. Davis and
the other leaders Of the rebellion that there
shall be no peace until the "confcderacy" ia an
established Power, or until the last man and
the last shinplaster are gonci If there be any
who think SO they arc deceived. Both partie,
arc going 10 fight this matter out The sup
preston Of The rebellion, the submission OF ID
insurgent leaders and followers TO the govern
ment and laws they have endeavorod to over
throw, are the only terms upon which peac,
can be restored. Grant, Sherman, Sheridan
Thomas, Farragut and Porter are TO be tn
pacifcators; not Colorado Jowett, Horace Gree

These lsttcr gentlemen may DO moved with
very benevolent emotions and stimulated by
very high oonceis. They no doubt desire
peace as much as we all do. and may fancy that
it is their special mission TO bring 1t about; but
II we are not mistaken hey are violating sps-
DIAL law ofCongress passed In the troublesome
times of the,elder Adams-in I7o9, we think
and still unrepealed. prohibiting private cit-
Gems from interfering with any negotiations
concerning peace and wsr-a privilege which
belongs alone to tho Executive and the Senate.

Tho Southern States commenced the rebellion
avowedly TO maintain the institution of slavery.
They have now abandoned that idea, and are
willing TO emsnoipate The slaves and employ
them in the army, just - we do. The declared
object Of the rebellion to-day Is to secure for
the South what they oail nAtionsl independence,
but what we oall disergsnisation; for It Il an
attempt to break, up : legitimate government
and form spurious one. Tho Southern States
enjoyed national existence and national indie
psndenos under the common Gag and general
government Of all the States and Territories-a
Gag and government under whose protection
the most unexampled prosperity was shared
equally with them - with the other States. But
II they are resolved 10 indulge their mad ambl-
tion and follow up this ohimera Of separate
nationality to the bitter end q they declare they
will do, We must follow them up with our
armies and navies until they submit 70 tho an
thority Of the federal government IN this way
We shall obtain peace before very many months.
As for the peace missions Of benevolent gen.
tlemen to Richmond, they are only shadow.
Our soldiers and sailors, generals and admirals
are the substance.
