On the contra the horrors nnd aluniilj war known in history, result from it at the end. Mr. P. thought thnt. sin. e the battle of Hull Iti ihe public tcntiment of the North had retrograded, and in confirmation .,1" bi-t o|.inion, read an extract from a letter ia Ihe IVht.hl Htr.\bl, in which the writer saya, among e.iher iliings. that the Abolitio party must be kill" in Mrissi-.b..-..-its, and that thi would "do more to ehow our Southern frienda that wc are really friends to them, tl.au all other things combined"! lie also rend from aa editorial in Tlic Herald, in which it is declared—" Tht Herald will oppose all attempts to make this an Abolib war, or to foist .ipmi the eon fit ry the dogmas of Si ner. Wilson nnd Andrew. These men have d mischief enough. The war should to brought to ns speedy a termination as possible, having a du.- n gar. .0 our national honor." While the distress and snf- fering and poverty created by ibe war were imreas-| jig, it became ihem to niter, .1 to thie under current ol feeling which finds voice in such organs as The //n-nWnnd Thi J.jurnnl </ Commerce ill Now York, and tho Boston Herald. Oor government was a failure. There was no inn in it. The hour had come, nnd there was no lan enunl to the emergency. Wo hnd at the North ineteen or twenty millions; nnd yet Diog.ues, with is lighted lanlein fit noon-day, would search as jopcl.e-sly for a in.m among these millions an when he starched the streets of Athens Tor the Bamo pur- e, two thousand years ago, Tho roliticinns who irolb-d pul.be events had no nm i-sln very heart in ._, matter. He doubled not that Abraham Lincoln would rather abolish slavery ihnu see it continue, and be believed thai ih- u,!.,..nU of Northern D.'nn.- crats would be glad lo get rid nf that which hnd been tho ruin of their party and of so many other parties; but then. tl..i were without a cootrolling clement at the centre. They were a great body, bor where was the soul ! There was no direction, at capability, and. what was far worse, no honesty an- no integrity. Pol. ii. inns no.1 patties had been trici before. The Whig part; bad been tried and tb cause nf humnmt, owed more to the Whiy r.urly. ii tbo day of its depnriurc. lb m it owes to the Repuhb can party. There was no Republican parti' now Tho only iaBuo ihu s-pai-nted ileui Ire-m the I'ougl.i democracy bad lu..-u abandoned, and their action i rognrd to the organirntion of tbe Territories showed that they cared no more thaa tlouglna whelhei ilavery was " voted up or voled down."

But they were ntkinj; tb« goui-nment to abolish slavery. It was a very easy thing for them lo Kiy, "Mr. Lincoln, why don't you proJaiui emancination to the slaves in the South, and th.,s conclude the war?" But will the North ttii him in doing this! .Mr. Pillshurybiol-.'i !• ..i.

That Then, why Probably, he would be ,r feeling of tho North, without thing. He (Mr. G.) believed 1 to5ay make a proclamation ves of tho South, if they could it would he sustained by the Tho question was, were the people disposed to forget party names nt this crisis ; and did tbey SCO that, unless emancipation be declared, tbo nation is going down to irretrievable ruinl He had his lenrs in regard to it; still, ho ivould have the pro, lamaiion made, because he believed it would be wll.pb-.i.ine u.God; because be knew It would be right because he was satisfied that, under tbe war power, it would be nbiindaally ind because he Lelicved that such n the only hopo for the country. If thn slaves were not emnucipnt.-d. insurrection must lollow war or accompany it for when the slnvca found there was no hope for them through the gov. rn- they would rise iu their despair and despera- tion, nnd we should have a servile as well ns a civil wnr to curse and desolate our land.

Mr. P. thought thnt. sin. e the battle of Hull Iti

ihe public tcntiment of the North had retrograded,

and in confirmation .,1" bi-t o|.inion, read an extract

from a letter ia Ihe IVht.hl Htr.\bl, in which the

writer saya, among e.iher iliings. that the Abolitio

party must be kill" I in Mrissi-.b..-..-its, and that thi

would "do more to ehow our Southern frienda that

wc are really friends to them, tl.au all other things

combined"! lie also rend from aa editorial in

Tlic Herald, in which it is declared—" Tht Herald

will oppose all attempts to make this an Abolib

war, or to foist .ipmi the eon fit ry the dogmas of Si

ner. Wilson nnd Andrew. These men have d

mischief enough. The war should to brought to ns

speedy a termination as possible, having a du.- n gar.

fering and poverty created by ibe war were imreas-|

jig, it became ihem to niter, .1 to thie under current ol

feeling which finds voice in such organs as The

//n-nWnnd Thi J.jurnnl </ Commerce ill Now York,

and tho Boston Herald.

Oor government was a failure. There was no

inn in it. The hour had come, nnd there was no

lan enunl to the emergency. Wo hnd at the North

is lighted lanlein fit noon-day, would search as

e, two thousand years ago, Tho roliticinns who

irolb-d pul.be events had no nm i-sln very heart in

._, matter. He doubled not that Abraham Lincoln

would rather abolish slavery ihnu see it continue,

and be believed thai ih- u,!.,..nU of Northern D.'nn.-

crats would be glad lo get rid nf that which hnd

been tho ruin of their party and of so many other

parties; but then. tl..i were without a cootrolling

clement at the centre. They were a great body, bor

where was the soul ! There was no direction, at

capability, and. what was far worse, no honesty an-

no integrity. Pol. ii. inns no. 1 patties had been trici

before. The Whig part; bad been tried ,and tb
