To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We cannot doubt " that our soldiers will speedily put down the rebellion, "if our generals will but let them. " During the progress of the war none were more jubi lant over our successes than Mr. Greeley, but when re verses came his croaking voice was heard in shrill and discordant demands for peace. At a time when a series of discouraging defeats had occasioned intense solicitude, whea Southern Traitors and Northern Copperheads were rejoicing in the prospect of the destruction of our Govern me...nt, Mr. Greeley, in a double-leaded editorial, said : " IF AFTER SIXTY DAYS MORE HARD FIGHTING THE ENEMY " IS NOT BEATEN, IT WILL BECOME THE DUTY OF THE GoV- ERNMENT TO MAKE PEACE ON THE BEST ATTAIN- "ABLE TEEMS. 1 Thus encouraged and stimulated by this cowardly de mand for peace by the leading Republican journal, the enemy prosecuted the war with renewed confidence and vigor. Soon after this gratuitous, ill-timed and insolent de mand for peace, Mr. Greeley, at the suggestion of a mud dle-headed adventurer (Colorado Jewett), obtained the President s consent that he might make a peace pilgrim age to Canada, where George ft* Sanders and other trait ors were hatching conspiracies and raids.
