6481. PEACE, Cherishing.—

I believe
that through all America there has been but
a single sentiment on the subject of peace
and war, which was in favor of the former.
The Executive here has cherished it with
equal and unanimous desire We have differed,
perhaps, as to the tone of conduct ex
actly adapted to the securing it.—
