The Federal Government is in • dilemma. It has the courage to go on with the war, without the ability to conduct it; it has the ability to propose terms of compromim, without the courage to name them; it is afraid of public opinion, which it misunderstands, and would rejoice to swept any acceptable proposal for peace suggested by friendly Powers that should spare its own self-love and that of the American people.
