could stop the war and arrest even tem
porarily the movement of its armies,
only on the condition precedent; that
the authority of the National Govern
ment should be recognized and obeyed
over the whole territory of the United
States. This point conceded, he assured
them that upon every other difference they
would be treated with the utmost liber
ality ; but without that recognition the
war must and would go on.
All the conversation which took p lace
between the respective parties came
back to and turned upon this radical and
irreconcilable difference. Neither side
comd be swerved a hair’s breadth from
its position. And, therefore, the attempt
at negotiation was an utter failure.—
Upon separating, it was distinctly under
stood and explicitly stated that the atti
tude and action of each’ Government
was to be precisely what it would have
been if this interview had never taken
place.
The Cabinet received these explana
tions as complete and satisfactory, and
the feeling was unanimous aud earnest
that the country mu3t now arouse itself
to renewed efforts, and prepare to make
fresh sacrifices in defence of the integri
ty of the Union and the preservation of
the Government. All hopes and all
thoughts of a speedy peace, in any other
way than through vigorous and success
ful war, must now be dismissed. They
have been utterly dissipated by this most
form ! and imposing attempt at negotia
tion on the part of the two belligerents.
As you know the source of this des
patch, I need not assure you that it is
perfectly reliable. It is to be hoped that
the President will deem it proper to give
the country a statement, in some official
or authoritative form, of the results of
his efforts at pacification, for the public
mind ought not to be misled and abused
by the contradictory mmor3 on the sub
ject that will be scattered broadcast
throughout the land.
It is understood that Mr. Fessenden's
retirement from the Treasury Depart
ment will take place within a few days ;
and it is confidently predicted (I be
lieve trulyj that his successor will be
from the State and City of New York.
In the present condition of the finances,
and with the certainty that the war is
now to be carried on with renewed vigor
determination on both sides, this
becomes a question of very great im
portance.
