"2 The phrase '"sin honorable peace" is one constantly heard from persons of all kinds of political belief. From a conservative it means a result which shallsrestore the Union, with they advantages of the-contest upon the side of the adhering States. With' the Democracy it means the cementing of the broken Confederation as nearly as possible in its f4rmer skspe, with equality of rights among its members. Others look upon the war ai waged by a political par ty in control of the government, wrong fully and in violation of the Federal com riaat as well as ef the fundamental princi. ple of popular self-government, and that, as the war is tbtally wrong in principle, any peace - would be morally right and therefore 'honorable. • In distinct arid violent• antagonism to the advocates of these theories of .peace, are those who Wield the power of the gov ernment and claim to be uttnoanditicmal loyalists." Thee hold no peace to be hon orable which shall not humble the entire people of the South at the feet of their conquerors, emancipate their slaves, ele vate there to the virtual control of the estates and lives of their masters, and place the Property of the subjugated peo ple in the hand of the loyal whites and blacks who have assisted in driving off the rightful owners. • . Each party claims for its plan for t eace the .merit of being the moat honorable and enduring, and the latter paitieularly dwell _upon, this assertion- that '." no peace can be lasting not based 'anon the absolute submission of 'rebels in arms" to the au. thority of that usurping potter they. call a "government,"( beCatite; ai they allege, war will oontainally recur among a pee- W. 7 , who have been successful in gaining otigof the disputed points;-•ór retaiiii,g even a vestige Of former privileges. .. • It is the consideration of this litter the -4 that we propose to' confine ourselves '4 at this time, for the reason that, though neither advocated by euperipr number/, nor supported by prepoaderabce of 'tegu ment, it is, nevertheless, upheld by a :tow erfuLtisction, and by the might bf nib- id miniitrative cabal; wielding a force that experience has thown cannot 4 easily overpowered,.uor will its possessors be deterred by regard for the opinions of their fellow countrymen, from any means however violent, by which they may final ly triumph. We shall consider this theory of lasting honorable peace upon - .the ground that such a termination of a long and disastrous yvar is the desire of all, and the great object to be attained, and hhall view it as proiinctive of good or evil to the people of those states still professedly ad-, Wiring to the Federal compact, without reference to. the , unfortunate millions whom, of late, It, is the custom.ki treat as 1 beyond the pale of law or justice. . - ' I==! SELDEN MARVIN is the utter subjtigstion, involving as it does the exterintn3tion of a free people, hotorable? Toi answer this question it. is yocessary to consider the principles of our government, and that 'general policy to which, as a people, we have been commit ted since qur s e parate political aziatence. That which may be honorable on the part of a government founded .on successful usurpation or aubju*ation, and supported from its very beginning by superior force, may be infamous in a people whose tradi tions are dutingulshed.by a careful adher ence to the prinCiptes of nitural justice.' The European ruler who, recognises no title to government, except, that hued np on'hereditary ;succession cir,superior abili ty in making the forties of the State the Means of promoting' his own 'ambition, may, without 'violating 'any precedent Of his own or 'ids . ancestor's governmisik prosecutes war of a:termination against portion of hisown subjects or' sgslust - s foreign nation. As an adherence tailed principle and pledged word .conatitptes what is called honor,. the chief of wane despotic "government may honotafdy terminate hir foes and plutidiirtheir prop.. arty. Mankind might extol the b element* whicih'wouldinduce him 'to &their, but tew would deny bis right to maintain his throne and rule at'tlisoostof any amount of injury to be inflicted upon htsenendes. An honorate peace, in = the ti eyes, ` despot, would certainly mean . thermoon ditioual subiniaskus of hie enemies.. There - •• • There are,' also, goVernnitents. Whiah, though not despotic, and kiiiming to , be constituted for the probsetion of all tinder its rule, are nevertheless liable to become entirely arbitrary, for the reason that the ' advantages of the implied agreement-be tween people and ruler , are all Ivan the side of the ti er . The Mier Pt : minima to the people tectioct to their. hirek.prop erty and libery.

For the "poweil of government" they substituted "the might of the p•ople," and :proclaimed., to the world that when a people oarao ig conflict with its rulers, the government nuts* yield and not the citisen. •if one must perish it should i not be the latter.. Proy,idence aided. their plans. add by a system of Con federated-Republics, each complete in it self, they; hoped at once to avoid the dan ger of, anarchy almost certain to ensue, in au impel:we and populous Republic ; to secure to the people of each State the privilege Of ruling themselves, free treal All danger of governmental usurpation; .and by limiting within forced bounds the power of! the, Federal - agency, to ensure the perpstn,ity Of the system and the lib erties of their countrymen. : To protect the rights of minorities the people of each State, in convention, reser ved to themselves and their children car taci3 tain pow l rti which should be forever un diva and among these reservations declared the right inherent, iwthem as the people Of 'an organized community to change their form of government when ever, in [their view, it should no longer fulfil the -end for which . they had greeted it. ' . Learning from the history of monarchial rule in the old world, that the sufferings of mankind had proceeded from the wick edness or folly of their rulers, in the Con stitution, of the American Republic, it was beyond the power of any man oroom hination of men; except by open and fia •grant intimation, to inflict the ills of bad goiront upon any part of the people who by law had given them a 'remedy immediate and complete. - To these elementary principles of free gcivernmeni the Ainerilutn people steadily adhered, rebuking time and again those who attempted to overthrow i thetin or im pair their efficacy. We have been uni formly upon the side of resisting people, never steal now upon that of the compell ing government. Wehave.hossted of our Dechiral 'on of Independence : of ourthe ory of poyular self-government, of our Sovereign people, of our freedom • and the security ! ' of our liberties. Take away from the histOry of the Republic the record of its battles for liberty and self-government, on field and in Senate .chamber, and we have nothing left. When we go back a huodted years and uphold the "inherent rights of gilvernment,". the 'Towers of, government," and the irrevocability of the subject's allegiance, the sneers Sind de nunciations we have dealt out for three quarters 91. a centuyr to European tyrants, come back to us with bitter emphasis.— Can we call that an.. "honorable peace" that inolves us in the very crimes we have denounced from the beginning of Our history 7 Can we call that "honorable"' that convicts us of abandoning every prin ciple and every measure of policy that wo haveever held and advocated 1 Honorable tnprate of liberty in a country filled with military prisons and governed by military eatrapti? Honorable to plunder under the 1 name of confiscation and rob by taira tipn T r tlonorable to deitroy a free people and occupy their country ? Honorable to blot Odt the history of ten millions of peo ple linked as it is with our own? Call that ratherlan eternal disgrace, that leaves us self-corvicted of oppression and crime, brings's blush of shame when we remem ber the days of Waihington,, and hutuili ..4 at us when we think of our national be ginning. May a kind Providence preserve us irons "all honorable peace" that shall make our name a by-word and a scorn, the antonym for hypocrisy, a satire upon liberty. ,Theielains of the faction in power thil the peace to follow from their 'plan of sakfugatkin will be lasting, shows a total forgetfulness of history as astonishing of the stemma of a true idei of national dig. illy Which they display in- their ids of an "honorable" peace.
