their party, leaders like Quincy, Emott, and a host of others gave their support to the government in its hour of need. The first call for the marshalling of the hosts of the peace party, so conspicuous during the Civil War, was sounded in Congress when (July 10, 1861), a loan bill was introduced authorizing the Secretary of the Treasury to borrow $250,000,000 for the support of the government and to prosecute a war in its defence. Clement L. Vallandigham, Representative in Congress from Ohio, made an elaborate speech against the measure and the entire policy of the administration in its vindication of the national authority by force of arms. He charged the President with usurpation in calling out and increasing the military and naval forces of the country; in blockading ports; in suspending the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus; and other acts which the safety of the government seemed to require— and all done without the express authority of Congress. He declared that the

They were doubtless sincere; but the friends of the republic regarded them as mistaken and mischievous. Benjamin Wood, Representative from New York, proposed (July 15) that Congress should take measures for assembling a border-State convention to devise means for securing peace. Mr. Powell, of Kentucky, introduced (July 18) an addition to a bill for the reorganization of the army, which declared that no part of the army or navy should be employed in subjecting or holding as a conquered province any sovereign State now or lately one of the United States.

Their unscrupulous, and sometimes treasonable, machinations were kept up during the whole war, and prolonged it by embarrassing their government.

Maury, formerly superintendent of the National Observatory, in a letter to the London Times (Aug. 17, 1863), said, in proof that there was no chance for the preservation of the Union, There is already a peace party in the North. All the embarrassments with which that party can surround Mr. Lincoln, and all the difficulties that it can throw in the way of the war party in the North, operate directly as so much aid and comfort to the South. The faction issued many publications in furtherance of their views, and never ceased their operations until the close of the war which they had prolonged.
