r 4; istt antons. Wham are We 7-; - „And ; WhereVrit ling?, The following is from the :Albany Evening4otrnal, airepublicao paper, ;and Seward's home organ : . In 1860, when only distant mutterings of rebellion were•heard, we were among the few who recognized, in those threats,' the certainty of war, and who, in a meas-. nre,. com'prehended - both its magnitude.. and its horrors. It is always an offence; in - ,an individual, to foresee' evils, and especially so -to attempt to avert, or even to be prepared for them. For an article then written; asking the -President', Con grem;and our readers, to raise their eyes and.thoughts above the horizon of party„ anatconternplate'a crisis which would taxi the'enirgies of the people, and test - the strength of our ove.rnment, we incurred the ,der. ilne4atio ns o f man y,an (.1 the friendly mist& of most of - the Republican johni als.- Subsequently, ..when rebellion was ram Pant in thextreme Southern States, question 'whether. North Carolina • and Tennessee should remain in the Union. or go Outof it, arose, we all remember the "Border State Proposition," upon, the ado - ption of which, by. Congress, rebellion from the Mississippi to 'the Atlantic, would have been bounded - by the southern lines of Tennessee and. North Carolina. With S .rnotlification' which the Border, State representatives offered to accept., we advocated that "compromise." And. .for_this also; we were sevcrly - deuounced. In the " Peace ~Congress," where , the I-e-risiat'ire honored us with al;cat which 4 resigne.o. l in favor of a distinguished , - ,citizen, the," Border State Propoiduen" =was-gain rejected,-and consequently two - states a majorityiof whose citizens yearned to remain in the Union. were lost. With North Carolina and Tennessee in the Union, Virginia could not have. gone out . We should, therefore, instead of . sacritlantr hundreds of thousands of lives, and hundreds of • millions d:treasure In North Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee and Kentucky, have reserved thoscsroops thattreasure to cruSli out.rehellion in the . Cotton Stakes. The'rebellion—as wanton and wicked as.any that'staius the pages. of hiStory— thus' et bracing tuol'e States than was necessary —has been .ncarly two ,years iH progress, with what measure of success and with what promise of a termination 'we can judge,-one as wellts another. Its Icssous teach us that it requires all the .strength of 'a tinitedNortH to preserve the Union. and 'uphold the government; We h.d at :the commencement of the war a unit- dlqrth. I The culmination of toason, in its attack on Fort Sumter, kindled a blaze of indignant patriotism: over the . whole ' t = orth, East • and West. All . merely partisan feeling ,was - merged - in higher and nobltr - impulses. Ali good and trim 'Men, in latitaticu of their an± castors •at Concord and Lexington, in 1776, rushed to arms, or contributed _money. - Then we were, in the language of air. Jefferson, c.Tubligans 7 4,,all *Federalists," or - in other; lauguage,-"all Repulicans—all Democrats." For the first year the war had, with few exceptions, the hearty support of both and all political _parties. It-was proseCuted earnestly, but with indifferedesuccess—with more.lleart then headore , zeal titan reason. We had gallant tro6ps commanded by hicapa , Lie generalsonatie so , - probably, by news paper and other interference. At any rate, the ill success of our armies caused popular impatience, of which 'those' ultra anti-slavery views enabled the scession . leaders to mass the sentiment of the cotton States, d'vailed•themselves to impart an abolition character to the war.. 'The. evidenee before 'us—in the rivers of blood shed and the millions of treasure expended that the preservation .of Anti. Union and-Government-demand the best and united efforts of the whole l,eaple ; is valueless; What 'all united have so - far • failekto accomplish, -the Abolition chiefs • and journals insist upon undertaking as a partj. They demand that 'the- war shnll he prosecutedimder their anspiees.and for their purposes.
