1861 AD (search for this): article 11
time comes for settlement, in the absence of such a body, it might be found that we have no competent authority in existence to do the things that may be necessary. Neither Congress nor the Executive nor the two together, have rightful authority to change the old or make new relations among the States. Congress may submit amendments to the Constitution for the ratification of the States, and I believe the present calamities of the nation could have been averted in that way in the winter of 1861; but now the disorders of the country are probably too complicated to be reached in that form. "Meanwhile, the President and Congress should prepare the way for settlement. Indeed, by consulting the people through the ballot-box, they might make a settlement, to be ratified by the States thereafter. Let the President propose an armistice, for the purpose of considering some programme of reunion and settlement, in which the feelings and rights of the masses in the South shall be duly ap
Lincoln (search for this): article 11
He knows how easy it is to talk about the war, strategical positions, victories, &c., and how pleasant it is to some to float along with this popular current; but the time is coming when some one must strike for the right, regardless of consequences. He alludes to the duration of the war, the Yankee national debt, the numbers killed, wounded, and deceased, and thinks these things demonstrate the futility of war alone to extricate the country from its difficulties. He agrees with Lincoln's prophetic remarks in his inaugural address, that, after the war was over, "the identical old questions as to terms of intercourse" would be up for settlement; and although the time to cease fighting may not yet have arrived, the period has surely come when other means besides the sword should be employed to save the Government and country. He next denounces the subjugation of the South, and the extermination of her people; and expresses himself in favor of re-establishing "the Union

Ex-Senator Bigler, of Pennsylvania, hEx-Senator Bigler, of Pennsylvania, has written a letter which, had not the opposition party in the North been successful, would likely have consigned the writer to a Northern prison. It is dated at Clearfield, Pa., and addressed to S. D. Anderson, of Philadelphia. Mr. Bigler commences by declining the candidacy for the Senatorship; thinks that the question, "What can be done to save the country!" is very difficult of solution; aeart, whether I be in private or public life. With much esteem, "I remain, yours truly, "Wm. Bigler." Such is the substance of Ex-Senator Bigler's letter, and such the proposition forEx-Senator Bigler's letter, and such the proposition for peace which he gravely submits to the people of the North. Whatever may be the "object nearest my heart," he may rest assured that nothing but separation can accomplish a peace

It is dated at Clearfield, Pa., and addressed to S. D. Anderson, of Philadelphia. Mr. Bigler commences by declining the candidacy for the Senatorship; thinks that the question, "What can be done to save the country!" is very difficult of solution; and that it is doubtful whether the Administration at Washington even has any clearly defined policy to that end. The war is insufficient to restore the Union, he says; it may chastise and silence the rebels in the field, but it cannot make a Union of States. At first, it was thought the conflict at the South was only against the leaders, but it turns out that it is with the whole mass of the people
