cratic politicians desire war on which they
may again ride into place and power. 4 few
Republican members Of Congress seem to be- i.
l'ese that q war is possible, and even ought
to come, and are constantly instituting
measures which create Ii 6 cling.
The alarm in England is greater than 1t ap-

none Of our national loan, Of all the vast
sums that VIC send from this country, is held

This looks very like the voice Of conscience.

:. Again, we must not lose sight Of the fact
that England comprises two separate nations.

The object Of this paper is to prove that
The true method Of making war on Great
Britain is for us to keep 1t peace with her;
thal the punishment Of our enemies in Gffrat
Britain IS not to BE- found In war; that the
safety and permanent power OF our enemies
in England would be secured by war that
the destruction Of our enemies and the eleya-
ton to power Of our friends in England may
be kecnrcd By peace.
England il MN divided against herself
The laboring classes have made our war their

ken against our cause by the minority which

but succeed in restoring the Union and c.

the democratic idea n which our Republic
is founded stands justified to tue world.
Then viii Me ttoWe, tie Denaoerms Of England
claim their rights. and then our enemies, the
nristocraey Of England. will not dare deny
them. But declare war with England, allow
the ar1stocIacy TO rally the people to the de-
tense OF their county, and the cat1sc Of free
dom and reform will be put back genera

established, and century viii b. lost to tic
