contalim tlio folloivltiy editorlul, entilli-d
" I'mce," which imiit profoundly lutcwl
aliko the fricndi and envmU of ilia coun
try :
Save on our own ttrnn we can occvpl
no peace whalever, and tnunt fij;ht till
doomsday rather than yield au iola or lliemi
and our term are :
Kcunjinlilun by the enemy of the inde
pendence of the Confederate Staler.
Willidruwul of i ho Yankee soldiers from
Maryland, until that Slate shall decide by
n fret vole whether sho shall rvtuain In the
old Union or ak udmifku into tlio Coir
fedemcy.
Consent ou the part of lite Federal Guv
erameut to give up to the Confederacy its
proportion of the navy us it stood at the
lime nl secession, or lo pay for the fume.
Yielding up of all pretension on the pari
of I ho Federal Covcrniieiit to that pr
tlon of the old Territories which lies wist
of llie Confederate Slates.
An equitable settlement on tlie basis of
our absolute ludfpendence and equal right
of all accounts of the public debt uud
public Kindt, and tho advantages uccruing
from foreign treaties.
These provisions, we apprehend, com
prisa the minimum of what wc must re
quire before we lay down our arms. That
Is to say, the North must yield all we
nothing. Tito whole pretention of that
country to prevent by force the separation
of the States must be abandoned, which
will be equivalent to an avownl that onr
enemies were wrong Irom the first, and, of
course us they waged a causeless and wick
ed war upon us. they ought In strict jus
tice to be required, according to tuage In
such cased, to reimburse to us tho whole
of our expenses and losses In tho course of
that war. Whether this last proviso Is to
bo insisted upon or not, certain we arc that
we cannot have any peace at all until we
shall bo la a position not only to demand
and exact, but also to enforco aud collect
treasure for our own reimbursement out of
the wealthy cities In the enemy's country.
In other words, uulesa we cm destroy or
scatter their arnica and break up their Cot
ernniciit we con have do peace ; and if we
can do (hat, then we ought not only to ex
tort from them our own fuJI terms aud am
ple acknowledgment of their wrong, but
also a handsome Indemnity for the (rouble
and expense caused to ua by their crime.
Now, we ore twi In a position to- dic

we leave it to commence its political life

lesson nifty have made them sadder und
wiser Yankees.
We shut them out forever, with all their
unclean and scoundrelly ways, Intending to
lead our lives here in our own Confederate
way, within our own well guarded bounds,
and without, us St. John says, are dogs.
And let no Confederate feeble knees and
tremulous backbone sny to in. this com
plete triumph Is Impossible; fay that wo
must be content with some kind of com
promise, und give and take ; on the con
Irary, we mut gain all or lom all; and
that the Confederate will Indeed win the
giant gumo we tuko to be as certain as any
future event in this uncertain world.

ruin has them in the wind. It canuot be
long before the Cabinet of WatbIngtoa
will have indeed to consider seriously pro
posals for peace, under uuspiees and cir
cumstances very different from tlie present.
For the present the war rolls and thunders
on ; and may God defeud the right.
" My opponent, Mr. Speuker, persists in
