Rebel leadership in Richmond rejected by government
In a sharp defense of Union policy, the writer argues that the United States will not negotiate with rebels or their agents. Any Confederate success hinges on submission to lawful authority, with General Grant ready to accept surrender if Lee ceases resistance. Negotiation is dismissed as a failed tactic endorsed only by enemies in New York.
