Peace or Var.

There is paper published at Eigin,
ILL.,, under the title Of The Inform cr, -
the principal object of which is opposi-
ton to war. 1t, Of course, is cIiti-
cised and scollied at by most of the
press as II visionary advocate Of an
impracticable theory but, when we
come TO view this subject from calm,
serious, reasonable and chyiStior pa;n,
of view, we are bound to acknowledge
that it is not only engaged in a noble,
charitable and philanthropic work, but
q rational anu feasible undertaking. ,
We have always regarded Il resort
to violence on the part Of individuals
as a silly and very unsatisfactory way
of settling disputes and difficulties.
and, lawmakers viewing i. in the
same light, have enacted laws forbid
ding the practice aid providing for
their adjustment in courts Of Justice
or equity. Ii it is silly and crininal
in individuals, how much more So
should it be FOR governments. which
are composed OF and controlled bv TIE
combined wisdom of peoples, to act
thus.
1t Is very rue that nations have
been engaged in wars and their rulers
in forcing their people to murder each
other ever. since nations have existed,
and that great and good men have
given the practice sanction by author
lzlng and engaging in it: but tha,
does not make i, just or humane or
christian-for Christ expressly forhade
thor does it prove that it should be
COMO mned by an advanced civilian
lion. On the contrary, il should BIZ
the more strenuously opposed, Us Il
silly relic Of the barbarous ages.
We desire to see the influence of
this paper exerted throughout the
civilized world, and sincerely hope
that II it fails to accomplish The fall
measure of its aim to establish the
principle Of universal peace, it will at
least largely abatc the curse Of war
and amellorate tie condition IF suffer
ing millions, by forcing those who
will pe.siSt in rushing bliEdly int"
wholesale murder 10 be more cautious
in their movements and treat their
own soldiers AMI those of their
enemies with more humanity. TO
this end we offer to gjra the paper 10
all our advance Subscribers who will
read it. Tell your neighhor of our
offer. Ii will do no one any harm -
read it, aud may do all a great deal
OF good.
