have craftsmanship. craftsmanship

order.
We And ourselves, at the end Of
four years Of bloody war. at the pdih,
of establishing the ancient order Of
things; Of rebuilding the Union of
our fathers; re-establishing conf
dance and Of restoring the good feel
ing between the sections which exis-
ted in the earlier days of the republic.
To accomplish work OF such
magnitude will prove no easy task,
and will demand all the patience,
energy and craftsmanship Of our
land. a land SO recently rent by
civil strife: giving birth to so many
deep animosities and heartburnin.S
on both sides, cannot i'll a day return
to its former condition.
But Notwithstanding the difficult
ties that stand III til. way, the great
work Of regeneration can be accom-
plished by wise and prud.n, states

in their hands, and posterity will
hold them responsible for the manner
in which they discharge their duties.
1t must be evident to every reflect
ing man, that no harsh or cruel
course Of policy will accomplish the
desired end. Such course will
only tend to make bad and turbulent
citizens out of men that would other
wise be good and loyal upholders of
the Constitution and Union. 1t must
be recollcctcd that the people OF the
! South belong to tn. same race az the
peopi. Of the North; both sprung
from the best type of the race. and
both are actuated by the same high
sense Of honor, and are equally ,ena-
cious Of their rights as tr.emen.
Such people can be governed for
any length Of time only by liberal,
just and conciiiatory policy.
\ small exotic race, inhab!tiUg n

governed by the strong arm Of power,
gu, this cannot be tn. case with a
people that belong TO the same race
as the people of the dominant SEC,

country large enough to support III"
wants Of great population.
But We have no reason 10 think.
very harsh measures will he adopted
towards the people of the South. II
We are correct in this-and We have
no reason to doubt 1.-THE people of
the South will consult their hiSh.s,
interest by using every effort in their
powe. to restore the prosperity and
good feeling Of former days. Much
can be done in a short time, and we
trus. that our people, instead OF brood,

The Cincinnati Enquirer on Peace.
The Cincinnati Enquirer generally st
tsmpis 70 discuss the questions of the day
with an air Of seeming candor. But it is
altogether seeming, if we msy judge from
the manner In which it states the present
attitude of the Government towards the
rsbellious States It says:
Opposed to peace under present circum-
stances, snd in fact, to peace upon any
terms except the subiugation Of the South,
the political snnihilstion of its people, the
abolition of the servile tenure, and the
reduction of the insurgent Stutes to de-
pendent provinces, are the placemen Of
the country, the leaders Of the party in
power, and all those who look up 10 them
for direction, and such as are aecumulsting
wealth out of the nisgovernmsnt Of our
rulers and the miseries of the country.
The gentleman who penned these words
knew that he was misrepresenting the st
tit1de assumed by Mr.. Lincoln in the re-
cent interview, or has such prejadiced
mind as 10 be mentally incapable of stat.
ing facts as thsy are. There is no desire
to reduce the insurgent States to depen
dent provinces, or to accomplish their pc.
li,ical anuihilation. The rebel commits.
sioners themselves, in reporting to Davis,
say that complete restoration Of the author
