We have no powerless foes. Post 19 think? of the southern dead only as brave men. A. R. Calhoun. PostCom'r Ang. H. Saurman, Adjutant." The above order emanating as it j does from a political organization, ! composed mostly of discharged sol- i diers of the Union armies, evinces to some degree a spirit of sympathy if not nfjmagnaoiniity for those southern he roes, wBOTeirlin the late war befween the sections. It contains a sentiment which would long ago have restored peaee to the land, had the civil authori ties applied it to the survivors of the lot cause" uVe have no powerless Joea." We thank those soldiers of the United States army for this over ture publicly expressed for a restora tion of good a d kindly feelings between every portion of our country They say they think ' ot the south ern dead only as brave men." While this is a merited tribute to our fal len braves, in our opinion more could have been truthfully said. Ev ery true man (and we mc ui by tjue man, not a guerrilla or aku-klux, bJ a man reliable under all circumstances, a man of whom you could swear that " what he says yon nny believe and pawn yoursonl upon it,") who was engaged iu the war against the government, felt a consciousness that the cause he was battling for, was the cause of right, and we firmly believe V aye we know, that the spirit which our opponents ascribed to us during those trying days, viz : that of unpar alleled courage, was simply a fixed determination to protect and defend to the utmost the plain teachings of , truth and right. There was courage then based upon a consciousness of being engaged in a righteous cause. We regard this as a favorable op portunity of expressing surselves on this question, and will premise that, as every man in this section, who is now a friend to tbe povc-mmoni ,i lorer of Pce, was either a Confpdr. -ui- L. j , r . bic svwn.1 vi c ann Mmin , "V . in some other way to the rebellion, and we being included iaraoqg the number of those engaged in active hostilities- conseo.uenuy a law abiding citizen now, we do not, intend this article in any way to eajpreaa or create a feel ing Of animosity or even of ill-will agaiubt ine owrnmejit or the mass of tbe northern people, but onlv as a ..m ... - lufiti&cauon ot the art rn. u k - - - IHC Southern soldier- in the war referred to.

Right here and right them . another war. We decreed mX n (in Washington Atid in December 1860) ( we must fix the responsibility of the ! war which did ensue from violent and illegal legislation. To the task then. for a moment or so. The Crittenden compromise was what was known at that time as the "peace measure." The resolutions introduced in the Senate of the lT. S. on the 18th of Dec. I860, by Mr. Crittenden of Kentucky, pro posed amendments to the constitution of the U. S. to the following effect0: , that tbe south should yield all pre- tentions to the right of carrying sla ! very within any of the ten itories that ! lay north of the old Missouri compro mise line, and at the same time receive protection for the institution south of that line at the hands of the National government. At this very time did Congress begin its work of tyrany and usurpation. The Supreme Court had alreadv decided in the Dred Scott case that persons had a right to take slaves 1 lU iL : i I f (and hold them as property) into any and all of the Territories of the United States : and yet in the face of this de cision the congress refused to enter tain or to adopt a system of measures calculated to bring about peace, and those measures surrendering rights on the part of the southern people which the highest j tribunal in the land had endeavored to protect. The word P!0mi8e whenjapphed to the Cnt- tenden Resolution was a misnomer. These resolutions a few days after ('being submitted to Congress were re- ferred t0 jhe of tbe famous cQm, ... -i,. . m, . mittee of "thirteen." This committee was composed of the most learned and influential of all the Senators in the following proportions : five Repub lican Senators, five Southern Senators, and three Northern Democrats with Douglas at their head The 4iCom promise" was defeated in the Commit-1 tee.
