All heroic ideas were buried with the inen of "76. , To shift, to y ield, to com promise for the present gain., was the ruling i'Jea of the nation until ■8G<}. ; I; The warbroke upon the nation so sudden- ly, and found the people so unused to trial that an almost childish impatience has mark-* ed tha popuUr feeling up to this day. When the' rebellion- actually roso up between men and their purpose of gain, the word ran through ♦Ije nation, " Lets up and dash the icbejs in a trice, so that we may go oq with bu- 8ine.«s again." It.dfd not go down so easy, and the million began to fret. . A General rho could not with §.0,000, conquer twice that number, ar.d wrest, a province as large as ha'.f of Europe, out of the hands of a bravo and desperate foe, must be'dismisssed. The popular voice demanded it. A defeat made us feel-as though the world was com- ing to an end. - Now, after two years hard Bghting, after, a hundred dreadful battles, we ate coming to a sober estimate of the mag-, nitude of thieTebellionj the number and res sources of .the enemy. f A new danger is how upion us! IA new and powerful party is organising all over the land 'on the basis of the permanent dis3*blu tion of the Union. .-The ono great, noble object, for which all this blood and treasure has beeh expended, id about to'^f fiven up The Peacei-party of the Korth, ^iow momens tarily silenced by Lee's invasion of Mary- land .find Pennsylvania, is large-, thoroughly organised and determined to force thei nation into a treaty with the rebels, on the iproppv si tion of aeknowledging their independence.' Their programme as laid down in New York, Ohio and. Illinois, is u first—putting our armies on the defeBsive strictly ; second —ask an armisticc; and third—call a' Nav tional Gonvention to legaliso tho wpsraHoii The Bhrewd. managers' of this er»tej*taih>. ooent scfrn fo-doscend to: particulars.

What rivers shall be declared navigable and free to commerce?— What guaranties are we to have for the fu- ture ? These tihd fifty other questions arise, upon, which, we would like answers; But t»ck of all these is the question of questiens, ^ Wilf the American people consent to disso iyrtion ?** We think not.

A certain class of daily papers denounce Democrats so fiercely. arid inaiscrimifliately, and we. may atdd, abu> sively, that niany follow Vallandigham out of mere twite.

The people must save themselves from tbese leaders. Politicians have acquired such a jhabit.f of riding li.ob.btes, of dectiving - the masses'by false issues that they cannot now be trusted. - In revolutions, violent men arc always sure to be courted, and unless men of thought,- of substance, of cotiscitnee stand together in defence of the rights of all, anar- chy \yill drive like a demon through the land. .

The famous peace resolution of'the Spring- field convention has two faces, of which the first is the worst. It starts out with the In- famous declaration that the further ofjfensive prosecution of the war is destructive of the Constitution and the Union. That face :s all copper. - When telegraphed to us alone, we felt, that the State was disgraced by the wretches who could ser.d such a message to the hundred, thousand Illinois solders who are in daily,and deadly peril of lifo to uphold the Constitution arid the Union. But^sxond, the resolution proceeds to say thnt they are in favor of pdace on the biSis :of the restoration of the Unioin. Yery well, every Lincoln man ardently desires peace on just thOse terms. There never was a day since the war cbrcroenced that seceded States could not have returned ia peace if they would. All this war is waged for is ''the Union, the whole Union, and nothing but the Union." Let the Confederate authori- ties say "we aro willing to retoyi to the Union on terms, and the war ceases instantly until these terms are considered. But hith~ erto ^he rebels have floiitecTthe idea of re- enteirng the Union upon any terms, and, so long as they persist5 in, this, the war must go on. offensively too, these milk and water res- olutions to - the contrary notwithstanding- The idea of bringing about peace and the tTnion by a defensive war is supremely ridic- ulous. Hence, the men who pass such reso- lutions mean more, less, than th^y say. In this latitude they claim to mean less, and so we head this article "Not so bad." | We- aro anxious to give every man and| every party credit for all the patriotism thej' claim; al- though sometimes they take a very curious way of showing it. - 1 .
