Notes on the Situation.
BY B. H. HIM..
The late civil war did not end l>y any for
mal treaty of peace. The United States,
though recognizing, by ail the departments
of their Federal Government, the Confed
erate States as a belligmnt party, would
not recognize the right of making a treaty
by their enemy lest a sort of separation or
independence should be implied.
We must, therefore, look to the. grounds
of difference which bromght on tlie conflict;
to the declaration by the United States of
the purposes of the war as made at the lie
ginning and during the progress of the war,
and to the conditions or stipulations of sur
render, for the terms of peace, and the con
sequent l ights of the victor and the obliga
tions of the vanquished. For we must ad
mit that the doctrines of the issue, as in
sisted upon by the United States, and the
purposes and demands of the United States
in making and carrying on the war, and the
terms of surrender, were agreed to by us in
the act of surrender, and, therefore, make
the law of the peace for both parties—being
thus demanded by one party and conceded
by the other.*
The Southern States insisted :
1. That the Federal Constitution was a
compact, to which the States were parties
as separate and independent States, and,
therefore, were parties with the right, by
virtue of their separate sovereignty, of
withdrawal from the compact when, in the
judgment of the State withdrawing, her in
terest or safety required withdrawal.
2. That the administration of the c'om
mon government by a sectional party—
sectional because organized on principles of
avowed hostility to a right of property held
by the citizens of the Southern States and
recognized hi the Constitution—would en
danger the interest and safety ol such
States, and, therefore, justified the exercise
of the right claimed to withdraw.
Many in the South believed this right to
withdraw would be conceded by the party
then coming into power in the United
States, and that, therefore, the secession
would be peaceable. They were encour
aged to believe this, because this doctrine,
though now and for years advocated at the
jSouth, did really originate in New Eng-
Sri-iDccklg Constitutionalist.
land and first came as a threat fVoiu that
quarter of the Union ; because, also, many
of the prominent organs and leaders of the
new party did concede the right, and some
declared if the Southern States chose to
exercise it, they should do so in peace.-
Hut this impression proved to he a very
fatal mistake ; and it is very certain that
the United States, and every department of
their Government, in the beginning and
throughout the duration of the struggle,
and until after the final surrender, did
deny, in every official form, both the right
of withdrawal, the validity of the attempt
to withdraw, as well as the sufficiency of
the case made to justify the attempt.
Thus the right of a State to withdraw
from the Union became the great leading
question of difference between the parties
to the conflict, as made by all the official
records, and was the main question to be
decided by the conflict. The South insisted
the Union was dissolved ; the North denied
if; they joined in battle to decide the ques
tion. Now let us# sec the official proof that
this was the origikial issue.
In Mr. Lincolnl- first Inaugural Address
we find flic ibllolving language: “it fol
lows, from these i/khvs, that no State, upon
its own mere motion, can lawfully get out
of the Union ; that resolves and ordinances
to that effect ore legally void." * * *
“ I, therefore, consider that, in view of the
Constitution and the laws, the Union is
unbroken , and, to the extent of my ability,
I shall take care, as the Constitution itself
expressly enjoins upon me, that the laws of
the Union shall lie faithfully executed in all
the Slates."
Here two tilings are plainly asserted by
the Executive power of the United States:
1. That the Union is not and cun not be bro
ken by the separate States; and 2. That
I Ink doctrine shall be maintained.
In July, 1861, t he Congress of the United
Stales, with almost entire unanimity, re
solved,
“That this war is not waged, on our
part, in any spirit id oppression, nor for any
purpose of conquest or subjugation, nor
purpose of overthrowing or interfering with
the rights or established institutions of the
States; but to defend and maintain the su
premacy of the Constitution and to preserve
the Union, with all the dignity, equality
and rights of the several States unimpair
ed ; and as soon as these objects are ac
complished the war ought to cease.”
Now, let us analyze this resolution, and
we find that it asserts three very distinct
propositions:
1. It declares what is not the purpose of
the war: “It is not in a spirit of oppres
sion,” nor for any purpose of conquest or
subjugation.
!2. It declares what, is the purpose of the
war: “To defend ami maintain the Consti
tution, and to presm'ce the Union, with all
the dignity, equality and rights ol the sev
eral Btatcs unimpaired .”
3. It declares when the war shall cease :
“ As soon as these objects are accomplished
the war ought to cease that is, as soon as
the Constitution is maintained and the
Union preserved with the dignity, equality
and rights of the States unimpaired, the
war ought to cease.
Ten days afterward the Congress again
declared, on motion of a New England
Radical, their "feed determination to main
tain the supremacy of the Government and
the integrity of the Union of all these Uni
ted States." And, with the single excep
tion of Mr. Breckinridge, this resolution
was unanimous in the Senate.
Quotations of like character could he
multiplied uulil there should lie no end of
the hooks iii.-il sliuiild be writ ten, but these
• which I have made are so clear, soj explicit,
so Official, wwrcrfhv single purpose of
the war on the part of the United States so
distinct, that i could not make it more ex
plicit by a thousand additional proofs.—
That single purpose, at that time, was to de
feat the ralidUy of seceesion and preserve the
Un ion of all the Slides.
Now, I have conceded, and here repeat,
that either party, during the struggle, may
increase his demands, or enlarge Ids pur
poses in waging the war; and ilu-se addi
tional demands or purposes being pro
claimed and made known to the oilier par
ty before the surrender, while “his men
and arms remain,” may be claimed as
among the results decided by the war, and
as making part of (he terms of peace.
Snell demands, it is true, must be reasona
ble, and such purposes must he within the
laws oi war. For instance, either party,
within the time proscribed, may demand
ihe removal of tin- cause of the war, so
that it may not produce a renewal of the
conflict; or, in case of an unjust war or of
unnecessary or unreasonable prolongation
of the struggle, may demand the expenses
of the war; or, in case of rebellion, may
insist on excepting from the amnesty the
authors of the disturbance to be brought
to legal trial; or if a cruel and barbarous
nation were to give distinct notice to rebels
that they must expect no quarters; that
they must consider, in ease of surrender,
that their lives or property, or both, are
forfeited, the world might be shocked and
humanity made ashamed; but the rebels
ought not to complain, for in that case
they are notified they must submit to the
declared willof the conqueror, and to tight
lo extermination. But as such demands
are unusually cruel, they ought to be made
known before the surrender, with unusual
distinctness, lest the weaker party, relying
on the law of nations and humanity, to
save something by not lighting to extermi
nation, should be cut,raped into a surrender
which accomplishes what they intended by
surrendering to escape.
1 repeat, the only demand made by the
United Slates in the beginning was, that
the people of the Confederate States should
“ lay down their arms, retire to their homes
and obey the laws,” because thereby the
United States sought to accomplish the
only purpose of the war, to wit: The de
leai of secession and the preservation of
the Union.
The question is, did the United States,
during the war and before the surrender,
make other demands or avow additional
purposes and make them known to the
Confederates ?
1 have been unable to find any other,
and believe no other man is able to find
any other, legitimate or official demands or
declared purposes.
I find many individual threats, and I find
also acts of confiscation, suspension of
habeas corpus and such like acts, bnt then
they are declared to be, what indeed their
very natures make them, war measures —to
end with the war, and to make no part of
the terms or law of peace. They were
adopted as means to accomplish the one
great original purpose, to force us to lay
down our arms, and thus preserve the
Union. Mr. Lincoln did promise a liberal
exercise of the pardoning power, from which
it may be claimed to imply that he would
except some from the amnesty, but he could
only except them for a legal trial , and I sup
pose even Mr. Lincoln did not doubt the
result of a fair legal trial, unless of some one
who made war on the United States before
the secession of his State. For though the
result of the war did decide that secession
was void, yet, as intent is the essence of
crime, it did not and could not deckle, that
one who honestly believed that secession
was legal was bound to know it was void be
fore the decision made it so. And, thou h
the result establishes that secession is and was
and must remain void; yet “he who honestly
believed, at the time,that secession was either
a Constitutional or revolutionary right, or
that his allegiance was due to his State
when secession was asserted, or who believ
ed the coercion of a State was a crime,
could not become a criminal by acting on
his honest belief. But if a man, before the
secession of his State, made war on the
United States by seizing her forts or other
wise ; or, it while holding an office under au
oath to support the Constitution of the
United States, he used the functions of that
very office, by overt acts, to destroy the
Union, such a man was a traitor and might,
with some show of reason, have been ex
cepted from the amnesty and reserved for
trial. I think, however, true wisdom and a
peaceful future required entire amnesty for
Squares.

all the past, and careful abstinence from all
oppressive acts in all the future.
During the war, Mr. Lincoln, as Presi
dent of the United States, issued his procla
mation, emancipating slaves in certain
States and parts of States. But this, itself,
was declared to be a war measure only. —
Afterward the Congress had proposed to
the States an amendment to the Constitu
tion, abolishing shivery everywhere. But
the States had not ratified it. It was, there
fore, only a proposition undetermined at the
time of the surrender. After the surrender
the slave States accepted and ratified this
proposed amendment, and thus, by the act
of tiie slave States after the surrender, this
amendment became a portion of the Consti
tution. Therefore, she abolition of slavery
may in fact, though not in legal strictness,
be counted as one of the things decided by
the war, and as being part of the law of
peace. It is a noticeable fact, also, that al
though Mr. Lincoln included tiie acceptance
of emancipation as part of the terms at the
conference in Hampton Roads, yet neither
he nor Gen. Grant, nor any other power,
alluded to this as part of the terms during
the negotiations lor, nor at the time of the
acceptance of, the surrender. The only
Conditions of the surrender were to submit
to the laws, and not take up arms again
against the United States.
What, then, did the war decide, and what,
by that decision, is the law of peace? Here
it is, and here is all:
Secession is void; the Constitution is
maintained; the Union is preserved, with
all the dignity, equality and rights of the
several States unimpaired, with the single
exception of the abolition of slavery through
the consent of the original slave Slides.
And when our people, after the surren
der, took an oath to support the Constitu
tion of the United States and the union of
the States thereunder , they swore to support
the above decision, and nothing more.
The meeting of the Conventions in these
States, to conform their Constitutions and
laws to the change brought by .the aboli
tion of slavery, was proper, and a result of
the agreement to emancipate. The appoint
ment, of provisional civil officers by the
President to enable these conventions to
he called and to act, was proper machinery
to accomplish the end. Further than this
no reconstruction was ever needed or was
legal or proper. But for the abolition of
slavery the States would have been re
stored to their old Constitutions and govern
ment, as they existed at the time of seces
sion.
Every proposition in these military bills
has been originated since the war ; not one
of them was demanded during the war, or
was made a condition of the surrender.
There is not a respectable publicist or law
writer, ancient or modern, heathen or
Christian, which can lie quoted to sustain
them. ,
By every such authority tiie attempt to
prescribe new terms after the surrender is
infamous —is a breach of the peace; is a
new declaration of war, and is a most per
fidious abandonment of the most sacred of
national obligations in the face of man
kind.
Nay, more ; these military hills are dis
union hills. Those who propose them are
dlsunlouists; those who advocate them are
disunionists; those who consent to or ac
cept them are disunionists. And they are
disunionists, too, not like the secessionists,
on a principle—asserting a simply doubtful
right; but they are disunionists in the
teeth oil the very decision of the war itself;
and disunionists who do not seek to accom
plish llieir ends in an ojmii, manly way, but
win) destroy the Union under pretence of
presei ring it; who trample ou the Cmisli
l iilinn under oath to support it; who con
tinue the war alter resistance has ceased;
who fight an unarmed people, and not their
own impoverished victims.
* Note.—The reader will observe that 1
do not claim the doctrines and purposes of
the Confederate States as constituting any
of the terms of the peace. These were ail
defeated iu the fight and were abandoned by
the surrender. The official declarations and
purposes of the United States, as avowed
before the surrender, were the terms to
which the Confederate States agreed to
submit by the surrender, and with which
the United States are bound to be satisfied;
and, thus, they form the law of peace. Yet,
a Georgian, one boasting of tiie honors
conferred ou him by the people, in a late
speech at Milledgevillc, tells us we are out
of the Union according to our own declara
tion ! “ When we surrendered, after a
gallant fight, we were, upon our own de
claration, a conquered foreign State—sub
ject. to ihe will ofthecmiqueror!” as though
that very surrender did not def at our de
claration, and make good the declaration
of the conqueror that our secession was
taid, and that we were nor and should not
he out of the Union as a foreign State. One
of our own teachers, who tells ns his chil
dren are to live among us, making, in the
same bivatli, our will and the will of the
enemy alike our law, if, by such contradicto
ry positions, he can harm us in both cases. —
Such perfidy is surpassed only by the slan
der that Mr. Davis “ made strong efforts to
get a perpetual suspension of Habeas Cor
pus,” and by the bitterness which quotes
the conclusion of the petition for Habeas
Corpus—the mere formal conclusions of all
such papers—as evidence of humiliation or
inconsistency on the part of Mr. Davis!
And yet lie exclaims, as if bis motive was
suspected and needed confirmation, “What
interest, then, can 1 have in misleading
you ?”
A great writer gives ns ail account of a
very similar speecli which was made long
ago by one who had been “ often honored;”
and alter quoting the speech, adds tills
comment:
“ Ho spake the false dissembler unperceieeil,
For ii. il her Man nor Alltel can discern
l«5 j tu nthe only evil that walk*
Inviriible, except to God alone. 11
But that speaker himself afterward, iu a
soliloquy, gave the explanation of all his
attempts at deception. He said :

money; for then he will hold that all who have voted
for it by sending up their names, will be under obli
