Mr. Conwat, of Kansas, one of the most ul tra, as well aa one'of the ablest pf tbe Republican menfbmof Cougress, made a strong: speech' in - favor of peace and a stoppage of the war.

" Sir, I am. not in favor ; of . restoring th con4 stiiuuonai relations of the slaveholders to the Union, nor of the war 'to that end. On the contrary , I am utterly -arhl forever opposed to both. . I am in.fa.vor of the Union aMt exists to-day. J. ain in favor of reorganizing th loyal States as the American .nation, based as they are on ihh principles of freedom for all; Without distinction of race; color or condition: 1 believe it to be.the-manifest destiny of the American nation to ultimately control the American continent on this principle.- , ; I conceive therefore, that the true object of vuio w( is nr ir.uiuvionize iue naiiotiai government by resolving the North- into the nation, and the South into a distinct public body, leaving uain a position to pursue the latter. as a sejwrate State.
