The peliverance.
Not FAR of Is the day OF deliycrai1'ce from pm
!, M war 4party--the party OF bad passions
and ,icentiousness--the party whose mol ..s
were taught by war and the oatrages anu
criminal perquisites OF war-andi Tue patt.
fbat can only live by tanning the enioers SO OF
s,r;se and irf,aming the discords and ran an
a =. =, an dered by war. 1t Is absolutely
necessary for the ..flife OF the nation that
that tisy should come, and the hriefer the
t;me before it comes the better. 81
What the nation wants is peace. Itwants
peace that men may coDfide in one another,
and that the administrators OF public
affairs may be compelled to pursue the
policy OF fairness and equality towards oil
the people. This viii end discomfort and
reinspire faith in the political and social re-
lations Of the nation. It is impossible that a
country can be republican without equality
amongst the people, and impartiality in the
administration OF the Government. Nor
can there be prosperity without the faith
that is impaired by equality. For ten
years the country has been deprived OF
these blessings by the malicious and partial
policy OF the war party.
The Conservative party-the party OF the
nation aad not the party Of malignities and
OF the spoiis-holds out to the people the
opportunity to free the country from the
war party. by electing the Conservative
candidates we pass away from the war
party and put an end to the ruinous con-
test based upon the "reminiscences Of ma
tional disagreements, and upon the revenge
ful passions they inspired. we open an
era Of argument upon questions OF policy:
OF what is best for the general welfare, and
what COMFORTS best with the principles and
genius Of our republican system.
When we look back at the national SUI
ferings so long continued by vicious aG-
ministration, we consider the hope OF being
relieved from the causes OF those suf[erings
as the brightest and happiest that could ami
mate the hearts OF people. To get rid OF
these causes Of woe would be the blessedest
thing that could befall us. This relief opens
a vista both bright and extensive OF things
bencfcent that are to come. A new day OF
events suited to the new state OF the rcpub-
lie will be hailed. The policies and pro-
gress suited to the state OF the country will
not be embarrassed by lamentable sectional
isns and rancors born OF war. The nation
will be able to regard matters i'll Q practical
and statesmanlike manner, separated from
the vicious prejudces and tyrannies which
are so Injurious now. With an impartial
49,, 81 1,np in
places, trust and good faith in commerce
and popular pursuits, we shall indeed have
ga new heaven and a new Garth y in
America.
We contemplate another glorious "follow-
ing" Of Conservative triumph the iorma-
ton OF new parties upon the basis OF the
changed physical as well as political condi-
ton OF the country; and, more than this, we
are elated with kind Of felicity in contem-
plating the transfer Of the seat Of power
from the place whence all false philanthropy,
and evil prejudices, and unforgiving bigo-
tries have proceeded, to sphere where
youth and strength combine to engcnder
public spirit freed Of puritanism and gen
crosby combined with fairness. we mean
the great Vest, where resides the Fighter
of wrongs and redresser OF grievances,
whose power will be triumphant and whose
will cannot be cruel and selfish.
The South cannot by nature or condition
fail to sympathize with the Just and the
: generous. Such is her own nature. When
these traits are put IN the ascendant the
country will be prosperous and happy. To
the body polite the wise, just, and impair
tial administration Of the Government is
what the gentle rains Of summer are to the
tender plants-the source OF life and vigor.
They grow in loveliness and strength, and
flourish as though tended by divine hand.
Who sees anything in these anticipations
inconsistent with the most logical deduc-
lions from the facts and circumstances-the
wretched circumstances-in the midst of
which we moan and sorrow? Whose does,
let him vote the Radical ticket; and in do
ing so, vote to continue national discord,
and to continue the corruptions, usurpa-
tionS, and tyrannies which have for ten
years covered the land with distrust, appre-
.hension, and injury.
Oh. let us leave the wilderness
