Not while th^ faintest spark of manhood glows in his bosom (Applause.) There is another aspect of the qaestion to which I w!lh to call your attention ttnd one whioh deserves much consideration. 1 desire you to mark my prediction There never c^n be peace on he Continent of North America until the North and South are independent and distinct nations Tttc^re might b^ a ter^porary peace; such a peace as you havfl seen effected >>7 over powering a gallant man, putting manacles upon hia limbs and throwing him into a dungeon. Such a peace aa exiata until he wrenches the bars, scalea 'he walls and atrikea terror into the hearts of hia eneiai‘8 when they dream they are moat secure. You wruld have such a peace as Poland has to-day. She has obtained pesce again and again, but so clearly has God drawn a dis tinotion between the Poles and the conqnerora, that they refuse to mix, and have retained their inherent na tionality, though eve/y quarter of a century demands for it a sacrifice of blood, i'or a while, psace would reign iu Warsaw, but some act of oppression—the whip ping of delicate ladies on t^e bare back in the public streets, for instsnce—would cause the people to boil over in a fresh ebullition of indignation, and a torrent of bHod to How until “peace” was again restored. Just so with Ireland It did not, like Scotland, holdout to the bitter end, but obtained “peace,” and ever aince, cne of the noblest races on the face of tbe earth has been en gaged, except when fighting their oppressors, in fatten ing •Hokling pigs for the delicate palates of their foreign masters, whilst their ehiidren cried for bread; and at length their magnill.;eiit country is being depopulated by the policy ot the enlightened conquerors who find that sheep are more valuable than men. Like the yankeee, they propose to Ibpply a “better race” Do yop anp pose the (Aivalrous people of the South, whose distinct moral nationality has long aince t>een recognized, would submit to see all their proud cities garrisoned with ne gro soldiers: to aee the lands of their friends divided up and parcelled out among the foreign mercenaries? Do you suppose the blood of the Southern youth would run quietly in his veins when he saw a negro officer walk ing the streets and making his sister give way for him or insuiang her by his very presence? Do you suppoae this kind of peace would long endure? No, inanrrectton after insurrection, revolution upon revolution war af ter war would buret upou the country, and for year af ter year, century after century, as in European St&tea vicuma would be demanded and blood flow in terrents’ o»mp»ed to which a drop would have at first won in- dependenoe and permanent peaee The only wav to ob tain co*tirued peace-and I want no other—is M fiffht it out nov; (applause;) to fight it out now, whilst we have a government and great and glorious armies in the field. If we do not, we will leave war aa an inherit- anoe t-o our childrens’ children. We will leave this ter- rib.e question for our htile boys to seitle wfcen we have oassed away, and under circumstances far different and advanlages far less than we now possess for aaaertlnff their r ghta, their rase and nationality. If you think, fellow citizens, as a great many of yon do, that proper efforts isave not been m&de during this warfare, to obtain the peace w'ich»you desire, why there c*nnot be any csrthly objection to euch effjrts be ing made 1 have been in favor of them myself, and from time to time have so advised the President If you think eur government ahould tender the olwe branch of peace and let no occasion pass, why, fellow-citizens, asamat- ter of course, let it be done. Bat I beg you to recollect that there is a lawful and Ie«al way pointed out by the Coajutution of your ceuntry, and any effort you maka in this way will be right and proper.
