Who disliked some of his Political slang
and falsehood; yet no word . .or 'murmur
of dissatisfaction was heard 's; and from this
we hope his special frien4 will learn a
good lesson _of forhearanee, even now, in
the midst oftheit wild, niolf career. Af
ter going over a defence of his political
course, he boldly charged that "when the
ballot-box was closed, last • Novetnber,
THE DEFEATED PARTY appealed to
the cartridge-box." ThiS outrageously
unprovoked allegation, hos , We believe,
never befse been made by any . person or
paper; and it - IS reserved fpr the speaker
of the House to stultify hi/I manhood, by
alleging What most of leis supporters and
CO-workers will honestlihiand as - an',
error. Nor did he during his speech,
intimate :an idea to controiert this -state
ment. Most Republicans! admit that a'
large-majority ofthe Northern volunteers 'I
are Democrats; and durink the :time he'
safely presided at Washington, these
same Deniocrats awed by to defend him;
and, perhaps, saved bitn ftem capture
from the armed rebellion at the South:---7
Yet he comes homeand wickedly alleges
that those who have just guarded his life
and ihe Capita), are the patty who raised
the present wicked rebellion ! Wordi can
not do justice to this miserable exhibition
Of partisan malignity. .
• He correctly remarked that "if the
North and South ;could not live together,
they could not live apart i''.and this is just
the reason why . amicable relations should
have been cultiVated, instead of laboring
to stir up a strife,as the Keitts and Grows
have done. He pleaded for the
; Union men of the border States ; but for
got to say that the Democrats of the
North, and the-borderj_Tnieri men - have
!been long pleading with the Northern
and Southern fanatics to stay their hands
before they plunged us intO the present
whirlpool. ; He denied that :.any compro
mise could have averted war; the cotton
States were bent on revoletionl • It is
true that after a certain when they
left,Congress, the cotton InemberS were
resolved on accepting no compromise and
I the'radical republicans were heart and
hand with them for war o'r
But the border Union wen w ere for COM
;
[promise to save them from i just what is
I. now upon them ; but Grow alleged . as .
reason why their voice wasnnheeded,was
that they could not pledge that honora
-1 ble compromise would hold the cotton
States; but they did promise. that it monlil
hola all the border-States, !prevent war,
b and finally bring back the rebels and save
'the Union.
Grow cli:irced thoge at the North who
advocate peace, wish to shield the rebels
and divide the Union. All know .• that
this is false r The true UniOnists at the
North, and in - the ,border' State=,- while
willing to let the war gO on at present, as
there is-no safe way now, to . Check it, de
sire a final and constitutional disposal of
- the negro question. This onld give the
'border Union men entire sWay, create a
Union party-in_ the cotton region that.
would be a powerful aid in overthrowing
the rebellion and restore :IS- our Ustosr,
and place it upon a peaeefirl, honorable,
and pernianently secure bails. It may be
too late now to do this, but the noble .ob
ject waslworthy a fah:trial t but the Oh
' stinate refusal to TRY, particularly in the
Past, makes it evident that - UNION was
not' the first object...of a controllimz.• por
tion of the party. now .in I power. His
abusive remarks about the peace men
drew out suppressed eiclainations of
"hang 'em," i apd "shoat 'ear," from' those
in the crowd near MM. Honorable men
would teach their adherentS better ideas
than this ° ;-but our Republican friends
seem blindly rushing their party on to an
archy. It is not.too late tri pause. -
He gave aversion of the course of the
Southern managers in,. getting their
States into the hands of men ripe for rev
olution; and if hOhad related the opera
tion at the North, by which an opposite
class of fanatics had been lifted to power,
the picture of the pre-arranged prograin,
me for civil war would have been much
more perfect; and his , auditory could have
seen that the seizure of forts and the in
sane tragedy at Sumter was but, the re
sult of the mutual labors of Northern and
Southern plotters who wished and work

ranged for the payment of several bun

matter which attracts a -- good deal of at

we shall - inquire into it more fully in fu

adopted with one dissenting voice.
After a preamble stating•that there is
no mistaking the position Of s 'Keetucky !
the present civil war, that she is imalter
ablv for peace, it was resolved,
That whilst this State desires to be true
to the Union, and also desires -to shave
peace with the people of all other States,
" That we earnestly desire the restorat.-
ien of peace in every part of our beloved.]
eountry,,and as the Speediest and surest
mode of effecting the result, we appeal
for a cessation of the war now being made-)
on them. , •
That we behold in_the dissolution oldie

That we do not see how pe:ice, endur
ing and substantial, is to be attained by
the :establishment of two • independent
Goveritments within our •midst.
That •we deprecate the attempt being
made to produce by force the disruption
of the Union..
That, for the purpose of restoring peace.
all patriotic men should abandon - section- -

her hearty co-operation.
• That we are:unwilling that any foreign

mand this course, unless their wish tq.con
vert the-War . into an abolition crusade can
be gratified. We. need hardly say = what
we have so often reiterated—that to this
mode of ending the war, we are 'emphati
cally opposed; as full. of calamities for the
future. 'lf such a result becomes a neees-_
sity, the nation must submit to it, as to
any other unavoidable affliction, but we
are in favor of resisting it to the extent of
the.ability of the Government, and until
further resistance is mere madness.
2; Emancipation : It camkot be denied
that there is a large clays of zealous sup
porters of the war, .whose principal inter
est in it is the hope that. it •will assume
the character of a War ofemancipation of
the slaves and become a grand crusade
for freedom. It is quite apparent that
this can never occur without.un utter dis
regard of tho Constitution, and practical
subversion 'of our present form of Govern
ment—but-this patters little with the ad
vocates of this plan, they aro men of"one•
idea"—abolition of slavery • is, in their
view, the only good Co •be accomplished
and every thing else should be sacrificed
to that end. If the war cannot assume
this mission, they are for separation. ' The
men of this class are more numerous than
may .be . generally supposed. They i n _
oludeaud merely your Cheevers and Reech
ers and Greeleys, but a vast Anti-Slavery
army which swelled' . the triumph of Re
publicanism at the last eleetion. The Ad.:
ministration has already disastrously felt
the pressure of this radical wing of its
party and given way befOrb it in its "on
to Richmond" movement. It will con
tinue to teel it, and amid the difficulties
and tria% which this war will involve,will
be sorely . tempted to hoist the 'banner of
•negro emancipation, and, it is quite with
in - the limits of possibility, may do
We need hardly say that such a movement
—such a usurpation of power and . subver
sion •of the Constitution—will be opposed
by Democrats and conservati;Ve. citizens
to the bitter end, and can hardly fail to
produce a counter revolution at, the
North.
a. sojayafies : There is a plausibility
in insisting thht this retellion should 'he

conquer the South ? With the disadvan
tage of conducting the war in their terri-•

come necessary to garrison `the whole
South, and hold : kin subjugaticMwith an
immense army and at an expenseXutterly

jugation of the South restore the Unmn ?
We think not—Democrats and conserva.
tire .men at the North, as far as we kno
their views, think not—and know

us to a consideration of what is necessary.
4. Restoration : Eight, millions of peo
ple canna be conquered. They may -be
beaten in battle at every point, but the
War which seems to be ended to-day will
break out, at some new point next. week
or next year. Mere defeat will not re
store their loyalty and make them faithful
citizens and willing members of the Un
ion; Rebellion may thus be smothered,
but its fires will burn in the bones of sue;
cessiro generations, and flash. out anew at
every opportunity. Loyalty .amnot be
restored inn rebellious people except by
concessions on the part of the. Govern
ment. It never was restored since the
World commenced ; in any other way: . No
great revolution was ever effectually
crushed out by the iron heel 'of military
power. An amnesty, a liberal considera
tion of causes of complaint, generous con
cessions, have often triumphed. where ball
and bayonet failed—triumphed, too, with,
out Weakening the Government, without
inviting the repetition of rebelliOn,
adding strength to the Government, by
bringing willing hearts and strong arms
to its support.
In the light of these principles, we
think the Union is to be restored by the
came spirit of forbearance,conciliation,and
compromise, which-inspired 'our fathers
in its original formation, and that "a 'rig,.
orotis prosectition of the . war • should be
accompanied by:the most liberal pioffers
ofpeace," If we Are. tauntingly asked
'what terms of compromise we propose,
