Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Essay, Negotiations for Peace at the Court of Heaven: The Only Way to Close the War Honorably to the South; The Infallible Success of This Negotiation, Etc Brother Soldiers and Citizens of the Confederate States: We have fought long and well for peace, but it seems as far off today, as when we struck the first blow. We have had a long, expensive and fruitless negotiation at the Courts of London and Paris. Now, let us negotiate at the Court of Heaven. President Davis will go; all his praying generals, commanders and soldiers will go; all our faithful chaplains and ministers of the gospel will go; all our mothers, sisters, wives and daughters will go; thousands of mourning widows, whose husbands have fallen on the field of battle, with their hungry children, will go; the wounded soldiers will go, not to show their wounds as a plea, but to show the wounds of their Lord and Savior. The Court of St. James is a cold and heartless court. Not so the Court of Heaven. Th re is not only sympathy, but there is justice in that Court. The humblest Christian, the least of all Saints, has access and power at that Court. Let us all go in the name of our great Advocate and Redeemer, who sits at the right hand of the Court of Heaven, and let us lay our cause, our country, our guilty souls, down at the foot of the Throne. There let us lie, there let us plead saying, "Lord, I will not let thee go except thou bless me." And Jacob´s God, who, in answer to his prayer, moved his angry brother´s heart to terms of peace, will do the same with our angry brethren. To the soldiers and citizens of the Confederate States, no suggestions could be more pleasing or more welcome, than such as might lead to a speedy, permanent and honorable peace. It is taken as granted that a people who have poured out their blood like water, and their money and treasure without stint, would be willing to do anything in their power to obtain so rich a boon as peace. The following pages will show you how peace will come, and also show that he agencies by which it will come, are honorable in the highest degree, that they are certain and infallible, and that these agencies are so completely in your power and under your control that you will be responsible for the continuance of the war. Can it be possible that the warm and generous people of the South will assume such a fearful responsibility?
