undisturbed by the worms, which could find no
flesh upon their skeletons-their spirits hover
throughout the North anu bid MS cry no Who
dare disobey their commands? \ million of
women in weeds, mourning over lost husbands,
sons and brothers, forbid the consummation of
the wicked scheme. Justice and honor and
liberty, passion and heart and brain, religion
and humanity, all cry no and demand, not in
demnity for the fearful past, but ample security
! for the now uncertain future.
/ When the people see the President more hum

he regrets having made the baseless accusation,
echoed from traitors mouths that the lovers OF
liberty were Us much to blame for the war as
were the deyotees Of African slavery: when he
is fepentsnt end, .qihdraSrs hisrebelous threats
to hinder legislation unless Congress decides
that they are wrong and he is right, and that
the representatives of rebodcm shall have
vote unon the guarantees they to give rs
security for their future good conduct;
when, i'll short, the President recognizes the
!. United States Government again rs il is, and is
ready to allow the work Of reconstruction to 60
on in its legitimate way then there viii be har
mony. But if he demands en- unconditional sur
render of Congress and the people to his peculiar
ideas, there will be an end to bis dictatorship,
and he will, under the provisions Of the Constitu-
ton, be compelled to surrender the Office to which
only the heavy stroke Of violence elevated him.
All good men prefer harmony, but the people
will not even to save an existing party surrender
the dearly bought and legitimate fruits of fear
full civil war which might have been ayertcd
entirely by like surrender. Let no tmd coun-
sellor dream of sucl folly anloag the posi-
bilties.
Party harmony can never be regarded as more
precious than national peace. What we would
not give up>to preserve the latter, cannot be
bought for the former.
But there is now comparative harmony. 'Fde
party of the Union everywhere presents a united
front. If the President rejnins its ranks, i VIII
give joy to the country; and ftheugh he viii be
watched closely hereafter, By Jealous eyes, he will
nevertheless be forgiven by the great generous
heart Of the people. II he remains with }is new
friends, the column will march without him to
victory, as of yore. Its march was not prevent
whole people in How puer;ie, then, seems
the Efforts of President and Secretary to ba!le
and defeat it.
Harmony, say we but on the basis OF right
and honor, and the subordination of the public
servants to their masters-the sovereign people.
