Let something be attempted in the spirit of mediation. Sir, the people will respond to it. They will thank this Congress for it. They will bless this Congress for any measure that breathes of the spirit of reconciliation. They are weary of this war, weary in despite of the excitement of present victory. They will awake soon to the consciousness that such victories are purchased at a sacrifice terrible to contemplate ; that a national debt is created, which, in its rapid accumulation, is appalli...ng — a debt which, if ever paid, will press like an incubus upon future generations, stunting the growth and paralyzing the vigor of our yoiing Republic; or, if repudiated, resting a blot upon our annals. If we look abroad the spectacle tends only to our shame.
