And whence comes the threat OF
war; Who proclaim to the country
that the blood OF iraternal conflict is
To seal the commission Of the next
President2 Not the South for they
have been silent under insult and sub
missive under violence and fraud. Not
from tho people OF the North, for they,
with one accord, demand an honest
and lawful solution Of the dispute, and
will give no support, either moral or
physical, toany other cause. The bugle
blast of war comes from the desperate
politicians who have shamcd the ma.
lion by the revolutionary wrongs and
seek to obliterate their Infamy in the
passions of civil strife. From the
win Chambers comes the tocsin Of
war, and from Morton comes the story
Of ghostly circles Of golden knights,
and from Cameron comes the notice
that the battle is not far off, and from
the tens OF thousands of placemen and
the dependents and cxpectants, come
the violent but UNDECIDED echoes OF
their chiefs. From no warrior comes
the summons TO the sanguinary field.
None bearing scars of the battles Of
the past seek to renew the crimsoned
drama of fifteen years ago, and none
who sustain free institutions for their
purity and benefcencc counsel the ar.
biirament OF violence None but the
political eonspirators of Washington,
who have yet few days in which 10
pollutc the sanctuary of national au-
thority, and theirlike desperate follow
ers, speak of war or think OF war.
Profoundly as the country dcplcres
the revolutionary frauds which have
the approval and protection Of the
government itself, the people have
abiding faith in the people-in the
majesty Of their laws, and in the i'm
perial sovereignty of their Judgment.
II there shall no, be peace, war must
be the creation of official conspirators
against the safety and the laws Of the
nation, precipilatcd against the united
protests aud efforts Of nineteen TWEEN
tieths Of the whole people Of the land,
And if war shall come--what then 2
Who are to go TO the front AMI offer
their lives to crown fraud as the jewel
of the Republic9 II is glibly spoken
Of AS conflict between the North and
the South as the history of the late
rebellion about to repeat itself 1t is
not so, for both sections ask for peace,
and both sections want honesty and
law. The blatant champions Of The
Kellogg and Stcarns return boards,
which have written their infamy in
dclibly in the history of the country
and stamped 1t inoffaccably on the
brows Of Graut, Chandler and Gamer
on, speak of the great North as over
borne by the South in the choice of a
President, and they point to the mil.
lions of strong men in the heart OF the
Republic as the soldiers who are Go
rush to the field to give victory TO us.
urpation, They are mad in their trust
to the people OF the North, as they are
mad in their unspeakablc wrongs
against the very integrity OF free gov.
crnmcnt, and they should reckon more
wisely before they plunge themselves
into hopeless strife, and from which
they would be the first to escape when
life for life shall bo demanded. Turn
to the great heart Of the North and
