I li.-e i understand to 1-c the great fundameu tal doctrines of our republican form of our gov ernment, so ably expounded in the Virginia and KenPucky resolutions of 1798 and 171)9, vvlucl. have ever since been a text book of the frvv Kepublican party of the United .Stales, la- parturo froni these ptinciplcs has tiestroveJ tlip Federal Goverment, and faten the prolinc cause if all our woes. Out of this departure hr.a •• pi ung the doctrine m loyalty and disloyalty of the .States to the Federal Government, from which rooms, o-tensibly, thu war against ua, which is itself at war with the fir-t principles of American constitutional litrerty. It involves the in . re ds, the future safety and welfare of those .Vii.te.. now deemed loyal, as well a; those pro noimeed disloyal. It is the (toctrine of absolut i;m revived in i;s \Vorat form. It strikes down lie <■ -ential principles of selfgovernment, ever held - • -.'er red :u out past history, and to which all thr-Ntates were indebted for their unparallel ed i mfi-r. in growth, prosperity and greatness, !"ng as those priaeiplea weru adhered to and nia.ntained inviolate. if carried out and established, its end ran lie nothing but centralism and despotism. It and its latal corollary,"the policy of forcing sovereign .State, to the discharge oi their assumed con stitutional obligations, were foreshadowed l.y lhe-iidcnt Lincoln in his inaugural address. Now at the time of flip delivery of that in augural address, it was well known to him that the faithless .States above alluded to, and to whose votc-s in the electoral college he was in debted for hts election, had for years been in open, avowed and determined violation of their constitutional obligations. This lie well knew; and he also knew that the seceded States had withdrawn from the L T nion, benei-e of this breach of faith on the part of the abolition .i’tiiies, and other anticipated violations, more dangerous, threatened from the same quarter. Vet without a word of rebuke, ccnsuro or reih iivtra’ eo with them, for their most flagrant disloyalty lo the Constitution, and their disregard oi their m st sacred obiiga i-ns under it, he then threatened and now ••••a ces war against us, on tho ground of our ■' ■' i;ulty; in seeking new safeguards for our 0.-eurity when the old ones/ - »>)e . And the people of those very States—whose disloyal hands had severed the ties of the Union, l.re iking i.no of the essential parts of the compact-—have been, and arc, his most fu ri.c.s myrmidons in this most wicked and unjust rusado against us, wih the view to compel the people of these so outraged States to return to tho discharge .of their constitu te.md ohlig lions! It may he gravely doubt ed if the history ®f the world can furnish an instance of grosser perfidy or more shameful wrong. But while the war is thus waged, profess edly under the paradoxical pretext of restor ing tho Union—that was a creature of con sent—by force, and of upholdihg the Consti tution by coercing sovereign States: yet, its r.-al objects, as appear more obviously every day, are by no means so paradoxical. The Union under tho Constitution iH : was— ( eh and every State being bound faithfully to perform and discharge its duties and ob igations, and the central government cou lining itself wiU.it! the sphere of its limited powers—lS what the. authors, projectors aid . out rollers of this war never wanted, and never intended, and do not now intend to maintain. Whatever differences of opinion may have ex hte'l at the commencement, among our own people, its to the policy of secession, <>r the ob jects of the. Federal government; all doubt has been dispelled by the Abolition Proclamation of I '-.-idoru JJneola, and his subsequent, notion. Maddened by abolition fanaticism, and deadly liate for the white race of the South, ho wages war not for the restoration of the Union—not for th» support of the Constitution—but for the abuliitou of slavery, and the subjugation, and as In; doubtle.-s desires, ultimate extermination oi' the anglo-Nonnau race in the Southern States, Dearly beloved by him us are the African race, his acts are prompted less by love oft hem, than by Puritanic hate for the Cavaliers, the Hugue nots, and Scotch Irish, whose blood courses free ly through the veins of the white population of the South. But Federal bayonets can never re verso the laws of God, which must be done, be fore the negro can be made the equal of the while man of the South. The freedom sought for them, by the abolition party it' achieved, would result in their return to barbarism, and iln-ir ultimate extermination from the soil where most of them were l.orn, and were comfortable and contented, under the guardian care of the white race, before this wicked crusade was com menced * What have been the abolition achivvenietita of the administration I The-most th t has been claimed by them, is that they have taken from their owners, and set free, 100,000 negroes. What lias this cost the white race of the North and South f More than half a million of white men slain or wrecked in health beyond the hope of recovery, and an expenditure of nut perhaps less than four thousand millions of dollars. What .-. ill it cost at this rate, to liberate nearly 4,000,- flail mure of slave* t Northern accounts of the sickness, suffering and death, which have under Northern treatment carried otf so large a pro portion of those set free, ought to convince the most fanatical of the cruel injury they are in flicting upon the poor helpless African. The real objects of the war aimed at from the beginning, were and a;.', not so much the do- Iterance of the African from bondage, as the repudiation of the great American doctrine of s.-.f government—the subjugation of the people of those States, and the confiscation ol their property. 'J’o carry out tlieir fell purpose by misleading some simple-minded folks, within their own limits, as well as ours perhaps, they passed in the House of of the Federal Congress a short time since the famous resolution: , " That ;.s our country and the very existence of lire test govurnnumt over iustitulod by mat} is imperilled by the most causeless and wicked rebellion, that the only hope of saving the coun try and preserving this government is by the power ot the sword, we are for the most vigor ous prosecution of the \v;sr, until the constitution ,md !uirs shall be enforced and obeyed in all parts if tiie United States; and to that end we op pose any armistice,or intervention, or mediation, or proposition for peace, from any quarter, so long as there shall be found a rebel in arms against the government; and we ignore till party names, lines aud issues, and recognize but two parties to tiffs war-patriots and t raj tors.” Were solemn mockery, perfidious baseness, iintnitiu'.iied hypocrisy and malignant barbarity, ever more conspicuously combined and pre sented for the just condemnation of a rights liiiukitig world, than they are in this resolution, pr sed by the abolition majority in the Lincoln c ongress i Think of the members from Massa chusetts and Vermont voting for the most, vig orous prosecution of the war, until the Constitu ted and tows shall be enforced and obeyed in all parts of the United States.

This they know full well. Obedience I to the Constitution is the last thing thev want j T 1.1 cud. Hence, the mockery, baseness and I iivpocrisy o< such a declaration of purpose. Om 1 their oart, it is a war of most wanton and sav- a,;e aggre---ion: on ours, it is a war in defence of huiienable rights—in defence of everything for which freemen should live, and f>r which freemen ir,s.v well be willing to die. |jje muiujiftble fights vs e«lf-guverti«eßi aod Ntso»i.r«j£-4ly, for which their father* an-J our fathers bled and suilt-rt-d together in tin. sir agile with fckigiand for independence, are the same for which we are now engaged in tins most unnatural and sanguu.ru v struggle with Those rights are as dear‘to the people of these 6'tates a- they were to those- who achieved them, and cn account of the great cost of tiie achievement thev are the nloie preeiousit cher ished by those t»\G:- ui they WT-re bequeathed, af'iH viii UiUvcf bu runt<*r at loss sacrifice. ]f no proposition for peace or armistice ts to i . rc-'civt ; oi entertained so h>ng as we hold hnu- iri iiir }*:«!? t - t*> dclviki ourselves*, our hoiiif s, our } -luthstoiir.-, our altars and our birthright against such ruthless and worse than vandal invaders, be it so! Ate deem :t clue, however, to ourselves, to the civilized world, and to those who shall come after I--, to put opott record what wc are lighting for, and to let till know, who mac now or hereafter feel an interest in knowing, tho real nature of this conflict, that the keaw responsibility of such Buffering, deso lation and carnage niuv rest where it rightfully belongs. It is believed that many of the people of the Northern Mutes labor notier the impression that n *l propositions for peaceful adjustment haft; ever been made by us. Pn icieiit Lincoln, in his letter to the “Uncon ditional Union” meeting at Springfield last sum mer, stated iti substance that no proposition for a peaceful adjustment of the matters in strife had ever been made to him by those who were in control of the military forces of the Confede rate -States, but if any such should be made, lie would entertain and eive it his consideration. This was, doubtless, said to make ti.e impres sion, on the minds of those not well informed, that t e responsibility of the war was with us. This declaration of J're-idt-nt Lincoln stands in striking contrast with that above quoted from the Kepublican members ot the House of llep rost ntatives. \\ hen this statement, was made fiv President Lincoln it was well known to him that onr com missioners, sent to settle the whole matter m dispute penceab’y, were refused a hearing! They were not even permitted to present their torms ! This declaration was also made soon after it was well known, throughout the Confederate States at least, that a distinguished son of this .State, who is a high functionary of the Govern ment at Richmond, had consented, as military commissioner, to bear a eommisuication in writ ing from President Davis, the Commander in- Ohief of our armies, to President Lincoln him self, with authority to confer upon matters there in set forth. This commissioner, sent from the head of our armies, was Dot granted an audi ence, nor was the communication he bore re ceived. That communication, as was afterwards known, related to divers matters connected with the general conduct of the war Its nature, how ever, or to what it referred, President Linco'n did not know when he refused to receive it. But from what is now known of it, if he had received it and had heard what terms might have been pro posed for the general conduct of the war, it is reasonable to conclude that the discussion of these and kindred topics might have led to some more definite ideas of tho aims and objects of the war on both sides, from which the initiative of peaceful adjustment might have sprung;- un less his real purpose be, as it is believed to be, nothing short of the conquest and subjugation of these .States. His announcement that no offer of terms of adjustment had ever been made to him, is believed to be an artful pretext, on his part, to cover and hide from the people, over whom he is a-suining such absolute sway, his deep designs-—first against our liberties and then against theirs. ltow X-KACE SHOULD BE SOUGHT. In view of these difficulties, it may he asked, When and how is this war to termi nate? 1 1 is impossible to say when it may terminate, but it. is easy to say how it will end. We do not seek to conquer the North ern people, and if we are true to ourselves they can nover conquer us. We do not seek to take from them the right , of self-govern ment, or to govern them without their con sent: and they have not force enough to govern us without our consent, or to deprive us of U.e right to govern ourselves. The blood of hundreds of thousands may yet he spilt, and the war will uot still in' terminated by force of arms. Negotiation will finally terminate it. The pen of the statesman, more potent than tho sword of the warrior, must do what the latter has failed to do. But, I may be asked how negotiations are to commence, when President Lincoln re fuses to receive, commissioners sent by us. aud hi'* Congress resolves to hear no proposi tion for peace? I reply that, in my opinion, it is our duty to keep it always before the Northern people and the civilized world, that vve are ready to negotiate for peaoe whenever the people and government of the Northern States are prepared to recognise the great fundamental principle- of tlie- Dec laration of Independence, maintained by our common ancestry-—the right of all self government and the sovereignty of the States. Jn my judgment, it is the duty ofotir Government, after each important victory, achieved by our gallant and glorious armies, on the battlefield, to make a distinct propo sition to the Northern government for peace upon these terms. l>y doing this, if the pro position is declined by ilium, we will hold them up constantly in the wrong, before their own people and the judgment of man kind. If they refuse to receive the commission er', who bear the proposition, publish it in the newspapers, and let the conduct of tlieir rulers be known to the people; and there is reasonable ground to hopo that the time may not be far distant when a returning sense of justice, and a .desire for self-protection against despotism at home, will prompt the people of- the Northern States to hurl from power those who deny the fundamental principle, upon which their own liberties rest, and who can never be satiated with human blood. Let us stand on no dedicate point of etiquette or diplomatic ceremony. If the proposition is rejected a dozen times, let us tender it again after the next victory —that the world may be reassured, front month to month, that W- are not responsible for the continuance of this devastation and carnage. Let it be repeated again and again, to the Northern people, that all we a-k is that they recognize the great principle upon which thefr own Government rests —the sovereignty of the States; and let our own people hold onr own Government to a strict account for every en croachment upon this vital principle. Herein lies the simple solution of all these troubles. If there be any doubt, or any question of doubt, as to the sovereign will of any one of nil the Ntates of this Confederacy, or of any border .State, whose institutions air similar to ours, not in the Confederacy, upon the subject of tlieir present or future alliance, let all armed force, be withdrawn, and let that sovereign will be fairly expressed at the ballot-box by the legal voters of the .Stale, and let all parties abide by the decision. Let each .State have and freely exercise the right to determine its own destiny, in its own way. This is all that we have been struggling i'or from the beginning. It is a principle that secures "tights inestimable to freemen and for midable to tyr nts only.” Lot both Governments adopt this inode of set tlement, which was bcqueatlu-d to them by the great men of the Revolution, and which has since been adopted by the Emperor Napoleon as the only just mode for the government pf States or even provinces; and the ballot box will soon achieve what the sword cannot accom plish—restore peace to the country, and uphold the great, docrines of State sovereignty and Constitutional liberty. It is a question of strife, whether Kentucky or Maryland, or any other State, shall oast her lot w ith the United States or the Confederate States, there is no mode of settling it with so little cost and with so ■ -c ap : - ' i to her own people, as to withdraw all military force from her limits, and leave the decision, not to the sword, but to the ballot box. If -he should decide for herself to abolish slavery and i/o with the North, the Confederate Government can have no just causw of complaint, for that Government had its origin in the doctrine that all its just "powers are derived from the consent of the governed,” and we have no right to in sist on governing a sovereign State against Lei will. But If she should decide to return her insti tutions and go with the -South, as we doub not she will, when the question is fairly submitted jo her people at the pods, the Lincoln Govern ment must acquiesce, or it must repudiate and trample upon the very essential principles on which it was founded, -and which were carried out iu practice by the fathers of the Republic for the nrst half century of its existence. What Southern man can object to this mode of settlement 1 . It i« a!! that South Carolina, Virginia, or Georgia, claimed when she seceded from th.e Union. • It is ail that cither Las at any time claimed, and all that either ever can justly claim. And what friend of Southern Indepen dence fe&re the result f What has the abolition government done, to cause the people of any Southern State to desire to reverse her decision arid return ingloriously to its embrace. Are we afraid the people of any seceded State will de sips tv place the -Stale back ia tbs abolition j UutmJ till 1 ;cT tliC i-iiIiC&LR |!> ; devastated their fields, Hid waste their ci-untry. -burned the r their sous and ! degraded thei^Wughtera There is no reason fer such fear. But I may be told that Mi - . Lincoln has repu diated this principle Ln advance, and that :t i? idle again to tender a settlement upon these terms This is no reason why we suouhi with i,,!d the repeated renewal of the proposition. Li-i it be tnaue and again, till the n»‘ss Oi the Northern people understand it; and Mr. Lin coln can not continue to stand before them and the world, stained with the blood of their sot:?, tiieir husbands, and their fathers, and insist, when a proposition so fair is constantly tendered, that thousands of new victims shall still continue to bleed, to gratify his abolition fanaticism, satisfy Iris revenge, and serve his ambition, to govern these States, upon the decision of one-ttnih ot the people in hrs favor, against the other nine tenths. Let the Northern and Southern mind be brought to contemplate this subject in all its magnitude; and while there may be extreme men on the Northern side, satisfied with nothing loss than the subjugation of the South, and the confiscation of our property; and like extremists oil the Southern side, whose morbid sensibilities are shocked at the mention of negotiation, or the renewal of an offer by us for a settlement upon any terms ; i cannot doubt that the cool-headed thinking men ou both sides of the line, who are devoted to the great principles of self-govern meat and Njate sovereignty, including the scar euvered veterans of the army, will finally seUle down upon this as the true solution of the girat problem, which now embarrasses so many mil lions of people, and will find the higher truth between the two extremes. If, upon the solver second Giought, the public sentiment North sustains the policy of Mr. Lire coin when he proposes, by the power of the sword, to jdace the great doctrines of the De claration of Independence and the Constitution of his country under his feet, and proclaims his purpose to govern these .States, by military power, when be shall have obtained the consent of one-tenth of the governed, how can the same public sentiment condemn him, if, at tin; head of Ids vast armies, he shall proclaim himself Empe ror of the whole country, and submit the ques tion to the vote of th*e Northern people, and when he has obtained, as he could easily do, the vote of one-tenth in his favor, he shall insist on Ids right to govern them as their legitimate sov erei-'ii ? If he is right in principle in the one c:isc° he would unquestionably be right in the other. If he may rightfully continue the war against the .S'outll to sustain the one, why may h” not as rightfully ’turn his armies against the North to establish the other ? But the timid among us may say—How are we to meet and repel his armies, if Mr. Lincoln shall continue to reject these terms, anti shall be sustained by the sentiment of the North, as lie claims not only the right to govern us, but he claims the right to take from us all that we have. t The answer is plain. Let every man do his duty, and let us as a people place our trust in God, mid we shall certainly repel his assaults and achieve our independence, and, if true to ourselves and to posterity, wc shall maintain our constitutional liberty also. The achievement of our independence is a great object, but not greater than the preservation of constitutional liberty. The good man cannot road the late pro clamation of Mr. Lincoln without being struck with the resemblance between it and a similar one. issued Several thousand years since Lv Ben-hadad, King of Syria. That wicked king denied in others the right of self-government; and vaunting himself in numbers, and putting his trust in chariots and horses, he- invaded Israel, and besieged Samaria with an overwhelming force. When the king of Israel, with a small band, resisted his entrance into the city, the Syrian king sent him this message: “Thou shalt deliver me thy silver and thy gold, and thy wives, and thy children; yet 1 will send mv servants unto theo to-mor row, about this time; and they shall search thy house, and the houses of thy servants; and it shall be, that whatsoever is pleasant in thine eyes, they shall put in their hands and take it away.” The king of Israel con sulted the Elders, after receiving this arro gant message, and replied: “This thing I may not do?’ Ben-hadud, enraged at this reply, and confident of his strength, sent back and said : “The Gods do so to me, and more also, if the dust of Samaria shall suffice, for hand fuls, for all the people that follow rue.” The king of Israel answered and saicH»“Tcll him, lot not him that gircleth on his harness boast liimself as ho that putteth it otf.” The result was, that a small band of Is raelites, guided by Jehovah, attacked the Syrian armies, and routed them with great slaughter: and upon a second trial of their strength, the Syrian armies wore destroyed and their king made captive. When Mr. Lincoln, following the exam ple of this wicked king, and relying upon his chariots, and his horsemen, and his vast armies, to sustain a cause equally unjust, proclaims that alt we hare is his, aud that lie will send his servants, whose numbers are overwhelming, with arms in their hands, to take it, and threatens vengeance if we resist: let us “Tell him, let not him that girdelh on his harness boast himself as he that putteth it off." “The race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong.” “God i * the judge, he putteth dawn one and set toth up another.” Not doubting the justice of our cause, let us stand in our allotted places, and in the name of Him who rules the hosts of Heaven and the armies, of earth, let us continue to strike for liberty and independence, and our efforts will ultimately be crowned with triumphant succeJs.
