PEACE,   PEACE!
The air is filled with wailings o'er the dead,
And tears of sorrow flood tho land like rain.
While leagues on leagues of Southern soil are red,
.  Stained by tho hand cf Abolition Cain.
And God, Almighty God, has seen the dead,
And heard the cry of horror and of woe ;
And heaven itself has donned the mourning weed,
While tears of pity in Its precincts flow.
And yet—and yet, ita horrid work goes on,
And men call'd "ministers" still shriek for blood'
And fain the gore they call "the nation's wins",-
Would quaff with smacking lip in face of God.
And women, too, there are of high degree,
With burning thirst for gore not yet allriVed,
Who cry, beseeching, or. the bended knee,
"Prosper our arms, nor let the war be stayed
Tffl o'er each Southern heart our hordes have poured
The reeking cup of Abolition hat*«—
Till every Southern man has feJt ths sword
That goeth forth his land to desolate.1'
Alas 1 we top can plead—and day by day
Ascends our soulful, agonizing prayer,
"0, God of power—0, Gojd of.jpity stay
The slaughtering hand that doth thus dare.
"O, Christ of God, speak 'Peace, be Btill,5 once more
Assuage those billows that have surged in wrath
And from our precious country's either shore
Bid Peace speed o'er the warrioi's ruddy path."
Peaee doth prosperity tend love beget—
But WttCbreeds hateVthén ruin follows fast—
OjTjróMiers wise, let wi»1 mo-re- eyes be wet
Nor hearts be cleft as in the dark days past.
0, sisters dear, bid kindly feelings rise
Within your breasts.eratgentle and humane,
Pray, pray for Peace, till heaven heeds your cries,
And.sends the balm to heal our nation's pain.
And ye, who have besmeared with.brother's blood
Tour sacerdotal robe once spotless white,
Throw off the garb—'tis an offence lo God—
Close your stained lips, polluted im His sight.

Mr. Cox on New England Abolitionists.
From a speech made by the Hon. ¿Mr. Co#,' of
O.bio., before the Young Men's ¿Democratic Society
of New York, we tnke the following'extracts :
Mr.Cox bugan by eayirf^.'we weresiin'onnfled by
the Constitution as by a mound; that, a reptile had
been boring that mound, and the deluging ocean of
war had swept in to destroy. Puritanism Is that
reptile. [Cheers.] It must be crushed and the
mound rebuift.'- But it *iH nOt be donti by the
present Administration.- [Great applause.] We
must patiently'wait aod work for two yeara'and for
a better policy.
Thk Plan of this New Rbfubuo.
The erection ofthe Mississippi States ¡uto are-
public standing on Hb resources,besought bySuuth
and ¿East; choosing for itself Its own cheapest, best,
outlets to the ocean and markets of the world, ia no
dream. It is the talk of every other Western man.
"Western men fall into the sebmrae with a facility
shocking tothe olden sense ot nationality. I speak
ot these schemes only t6 disapprove and to warn ;
ai ill 1861, in my place iw Congress, I warned ot
similar schemes of division. [Cheers.] tíovernof
Seyttiour [great cheers] meani mnoh amd well wbeu
he Bays the Western and'Central States desire to
stand in ihe Union protected by all tbe muniment
of the Gonstitntion. Tbey will in time restore that
Union—let New Engaud do as they please. [A
voice " let her slid<-."] They do not intend to de.
pert the ship,but they do uotintend tobe controlled,
by the Constitution-breaking, negro-loving phar
tseeism of New England. [Hisses.] Unless that
section reform itself speadily, new alliances may
unhappily be made with out ber.
Cause of Western Unrest. '
Corn at ten cents used for firewood in the West
with no hope of relief, is but an item indicating tija
unrest of the West under the present disability.
The West is aware that New England is getting the
| benefit and itself the burdens of the war. Fortunes
are made in New Euglaud : wages^are high, and
contracts plenty ; while the West is charged with,
extortionate rates ii) transportation anrl in the prj^
of their purchases. They are robbed by tariff on
what they buy ; robbed on what they sett. Why
are we in tbe West to pay fitly per Cent, more for
goods and lose fifty per cent, on wheat and com Í
Are the laws ot commerce suspended tor elas^-Jügi"
«lation? I« free trade good wbeo it takes off tha
duty on madder and coloring matter for tha bene
fit ot manufactures, but bad if it lets in.free ootton
and woolen fabriCB? Is it right to tax whisky made
out of Illinois corn, and let the tariff remain high
on Rbodí Island screwii Bo you understand that
public meetings West are resolving to be no longer
tributary to New England cnpidUy, and that men
cry out so wildly, "New England fanaticism and
peculation have made iJisuuion. New England
stands iu the way of reunion. Perish New Eng
land to let the Uuion live." [Great cheers, and a
voice,'' We've had enough of Iter!"]
New England a One-Idea People.
But these abuses may b^.remedied by a new
Congress. They would be borne, but unhappily
they are associated with art element harder to master—Puritanism. [Hisses] This is bred in the j
bone. It is the same now it was huudredsof years
ago. Like begets like. Generation succeeds gen.
ration with the same stamp of Puritanic character
taking success for justice, egotism tor greatness,
cunning tor wisdom, cupidity for enterprise, sedition for Hb«rty, aod caiat íqk piety, Puritanism
would reform men's morals by statute and make
Paradise by politics. It would practically unite
Church and State to propagate its moral and religious dogmas. New England may be cunning in
invention and energetic in industry ; she may
boast of her liberties, schools, churches, press; she
may subsidize the lever, pulley, cylinder and
wheel; ah o may study as the worm does, how to
draw a thread fine, and like the spider, bow to
make tbe web j she may boast of a jackguard in
every factory ; but with it all she does not understand tbe mechanism ofthe Slate.   Her idealogists
hare produced confusion where others produced
harmony.   [Applause.]   It is not smart to be in-
j formed on oue side of a question.   It is not smart
to array theUnion against herself.   It ¡3 not smart
to build factories and destroy the source of cotton
which runs them.   Hei; schemes of  emancipation
—her Morrill tariffs—her propagandista of higher
law—are not.Binart in any sense of wisdom. .
Puritanism at the Bott .m pf thk War.
I do not impeach a whole people for the errors of
a part.  In colonial times an Endicott was relieved
by a  Winthrop, as in later times Webster stands
like a granite rock repelling the wave of pnritanism-
[Applause.] I would not confound the Parkers and
Philipsesand the.lesser spawn of transcendentalism
with the Choates and Curtises, who have cultivated
tbe graces of civil order.   I speak  of that ruling
element in New England, enlled pnrilanism, which
in Lancashire, in Holland, at Plymouth or at Boston, ever presents the same selfish, pharisaic it, egotistic and in tolerant type of character.    We find it
in our politics to-day as the Tudors found it hundreds of years ago, ever meddling, and only willing
to concede when it cannot help itself.    [Cheers.]
Their key-note is that slavery is the canse ol this
war, and mu:;i be extirpated.    The truth is, slavery
was meddled with and returned in violence what was
given iu wrath and malice.   But it does not thence
lollow that slavery was the cause of the violence.
The doctrine of the French socialist. Hint property
is a robbery and therefore should be abolished, is a
sample  of  the same fallacy.    Abolition is, in the
moral sense, tbe cause of Ibis war.    [Cheers.] Jt is
the offspring of Puritanism.    The history of Puri-
tauiiiiii shows that it always fought to introduce the
moral elements involved  in tlavery into  politics,
and thereby .threw the  Church   into tbe arena of
polities, made it a wrangler about human institutions, divided churches and begat sectional asperities.
ITS Tt'XDBNCY TO INFRINGE ON PERSONAL RIGHTS.
Th,e influence invoked by these men was the religious sentiment in   a crusade against slavery.
This same teudéney to make Government a moral
reform society is observable in the laws punishing
Quakers, against smoking tobacco, against making
mince pies, and walking in a garden on a Sunday.
[Laughter.]    The Maine liquor laws and tax laws
against whisky to stop Us usé, came from the same
Puritan tendency to mix politics and morals to the
detriment.of both.   Ttie same thing  is observable
in tbe opinion of a Boston lawyer, now thecouuee'
of the War Department, Mr.Whiting, who upholds
the '" right ol Government to interfere with slavery
Mormouism, or any other iostiluiion, condition or
social status into which the subjects of the United
States can enter."    Uuder this doctrine proclamations against slavery are issued. Rather than yield
this censorship over the morals of tbe nation New
Eaglaud welcomes war.   [--That's so !"]  It ia not
the first lime she has convulsed the uatton lor her
dogmas.   She did it in 1T9S-.   Mr. Cox quoted Dr.
Lord to illustrate the tendency  of Puritanism to
reduce Gud to a  subserviency to its preconceived,
ideas, which he said were the cause ol our disorders.
The m ora I balance was derauged between Chrucn
aud ¡Stale upou the slavery question.    In the illustration of these truths, Mr. Cox said : •' Every Sub.;
hath you have a sermon from Dr. Cleever demonstrating,that our failures in battle are owing to the
displeasure ol Gjd.because of the sins of slavery. He
forgets that when we are beaten we are beaten by
slaveholders, and thai God,  by his foolish logic,
tnust.be a pro-slavery being.   The same sort of
doctrine was announced by Ma=-sichusetts in" 1676,
when ¿Randolph Same to NewBngland from the parent Government to find out fhe cause' of the Indian  war. . Tbey solemnly aunouueed that tbey
were a  punishmant Irom God, because tbe meu
wore periwigs made of  women's  hair, .and tbe
women wore borders io their hair, also lor prolane'
ness in the people not freeq,uentiog the ineetingsi
and others going away before the blessing ia pro-
nouooedfl i[Laughter.]   Tiie origioaj.¿defects 0/ the
Puritan pattern are copied by tbe present Block.
Its Literature and Infidelity,
Its literature wa» ever   vain-glorious.     It has
gained much in style of late, but is has lost more
in sincerity.   It yet, as of yore, complaceutly assumes to be a part  of the Godhead.    [Applause.]
Its harshuess  made   dissent upon   dissent, until,
through various isms, it has reached infidelity.   It
is not  content with the  order of Providence.   It
must drive the chariot of the sun, and with what
remit tbe civil war shows.    [A voice, "That's so."
Its peculiar civilization is the  parent of abolition
Whffjti is fomtd  in the Puritan sail., tha right fpot
lor its bad seed. Therefore it flourished to the overthrow of civil liberty,intermeddling with State in.
stitutions and social systems, entirely alien to its—
• If under the Constitution.   Holding to the higher
law and obtaining office under its banner, it spread
distrust  and apprehension  of its excesaesamong
one half of the States, aud rash and unjustifiable
revolution was the consequence.   It rallied all its'
isms to one  focus—abolitionism—and became ag-
gressire.   It has  triedlo imitate the classic sorceress by  giving a new youth and beauty tothe
State by dismembering it.    [Applause.]   It has
substituted a pantheism or platón sm for religion,
and sunk in it lhat dociiilyiwhich is childlike and
Christian.
.     THE  CONCLUSION.
[After comparing Puritanism to Hindooism.arid
the high priests of New England to the Brahmins
of the Vedas, charging New England with fostering Secession in the Hartford Convention, and dis-
couragiug the Mexican war Mr. Cox concludes :]
Her day cf reckoning, however, his come. She
will not be thrust out ofthe Union, but Bhe will be
humiliated in it. [Cheer.] Already her proclamations, running counter to the popular senlimentji|
have produced a paralysis of the State. [Applause.]' Where, then,' is their relief in war?—
War .has been called a wholesale grave-digger who
works for wages. Wages may bring New England
to her senses. What wages? A quarter of million of Northern—not to count Southern—men
perished already. Fortunes totter, industry palsi-j
ed, bankruptcy soon to follow this riot in ¿pecul
ation. Such war, with tbe gibbering abolition
fiend behind it, produces no union. Ibis not intended to produce union unless slavery diss. But
it is determined to prevent the Democracy from
restoring the Unions by making division eternal.
But, by the God of our fathers! though these State»
may be torn apart temporarily by the extremists»
the Democracy, if it takes a lustrum to do it, will
never cease to labor till the old Government and
Union is ours again. (Tremendous cheering—
three cheers for tbe Bpeaker, three cheers for Ohio.)
Let tho Middle, Western, and Border States stand
firm. The dissonant din of these idealogists ot
New England will be drowned in tbe popular
voice ; the fratricidal hate tbey have engendered
will be assuaged, and into the lacerated bosom of
this nation will be poured the hallowed and healing spirit of mutual confidence and conciliation.
Thus wilt the nation reform itself 1 [Tremendous
and continued applause.]
Foster's Four Victories Too Dearly Bought.
Tbe telegraph informed us some tinte since, and
Republican papers have been harping on it for
weeks that Foster had gained fdur brilliant victories in N. C. Here is what the Chicago Times Bays
of those same victories :
Washington", December 26.—1 had the pleasura
of seeing the gallant General Foster yesterday,
ifvho came here dtrec* Irom his " four victories in
one day " in North Carolina. He is every inch *
soldier, and a most gallant officer to boot. Tbe
precise ohject of bis business to Washington has
not transpired ; but I huve good reason to believe
that it was in order to have a personal interview
with the President, and to impress upon the latter
the urgent necessity of giving bim more troops,
if he is expected to accomplish any results. Hia
command was badly cut up in his late expedition
to Gnldsboro ; and if he had not hastily retreated
to Newbem, the Confederates would bave cut to
pieces the remnant of his little army. He, too,
had received orders from the stupid Triumvirate
here to move on the enemy's works. And although his '• movement" was successful, although
he gained " four victories." yet they cost tbe country dear. Four more such victories would have left
him Without a corporal's guard. The entire result
accomplished by the expedition was his destruction
of a few miles of railroad and telugraph, a damage
wbicb can be repaired in ten days, and will be so
repaired Wby this result is worth the hundreds
ol lives tbat were sacrificed to accomplish it is a
question that the country has a right to ask. But
as Mr. Lincoln is sereneily thankful for tbe loss of
twelve thousand lives at Fredericksburg, we certainly ought not to complain of loosing only twelve
hundred at Goldsboro.
It is certain that no military operations can take
place during tbe winter in Virginia. The prospects iu the West are extremely gloomy. -Itseems
that disaster is impending over our armies
tberg, and that the imbecile and obstinate Triumvirate here will take no measures to avert the dan.
ger. And it seems certain now, tbat, if the winter
passes away without some bnllant victory, the firBt
of March will see the Experor Napoleon inclose
alliance with the South. Arid it is more than likely that by tbat time England too, for tbe sake of
gratifying her hatred to the United States, and in
order to cause the flo*n fall of the American
Uuion, will join with France in the recognizing
the Southern States as an Independent nation.
Intelligence I say, has been received here from Europe by the last steamer indicates the probability
of tbege events.
It will not have escaped the notice of the readers
of the Times tbat a great many suits have recently
been institued iu the courts of tbe EaBtern States
by parlies who have wrongfully suffered, against
Mr. Seward,Mr. Stanton and Mr. Cameron, for false
imprisonment. The damages in each case arelaid
at $20,000. There can hardly be a doubt tbat»
when these eases come to be tried, th,e defendatvti
will he made to sufler for their wrongful acts. The
unconstitutional acts of a corrupt Congress cannot
save them. In anticipation of such procrastination, it is stated to-day tbat Mr. Stanton has secured as his counsel Mr. Wm. WMting, an eminent
lawyer of Boston. The Administiation, at tbe request ot Stanton, has created a new office, called
that of Solicitor to the War Department, and Mr.
Whiting has been appointed to fill it. Thus Mr.
Stanton will get his lawyer paid with the money
of tbe government.
Nothing new has transpired with reference to tha
recent cabinet imbroglio. But you may rest assured
that Seward will not remain in the Cabinet unless
Halleck and Stanton are dismissed—Chicago
Times.
The Troth in a Nutshell.—Hon L. W. Coe, a
Republican of high character, who was sent by tha
Connecticut Legislature to look after the*interest
ofthe soldiers of that State on the Rappahannock,
writes thus to his friends at home ;
Hospital Headquarters.—You have no idea of
the depression there is ift tiie army at the reuult of
this third, attempt to go to Richmond. Tbat'it is a
complete failure no one can deny. The causes of
it may be an open question, but one thing ¡b certain^ there will have to be different management,
or we shall not be a nation much longer, and shall
bave Jeff. Davis to rule over us. I dare not write
what I think to you from what I can gather-in the
limited time I have had for observation and'th'ought
but these is certain : the President has got to stop
acting as commander-in-chief, a part of his cabinet be removed, and another man ptaced at the
head of tbe army ; politicians in and out of Congress silenced ; and, more than all, tbe j>eoy/e take
hold of the interests ofthe country, stop carrying
on tbe war for selfish ends, and also all keep quiet
aod let tbe army alone.
I have found but one opinion in tbe army about
the merits of generéis. The -army, alnfoit to a
man, are for McClellan, and if you expect the army
to conquor a peace, you have got to give them a
oholce. It is as clear to them as tbesunshlne, and
that.too, with the best friends of Bumside, who is
much respeoted by all, that he haB no t the capacity
lor the moving of an army of this magnitude.
Yours, truly, I>. W. Cob.
