What we want iff peace, the reign of the Constitution, and, a restored 'Onion, with the old fraternal feeling, constituting • one peo ple as well as one government.' This 'accursed war has already brought us to the very verge of ruin. Financially we are alMost engulphed; and, under military rule, Liberty, fettered by the rude hand,of power, gagged and wounded, is struggling; `panting for existence.
