Now that we have been whipped back Into a defensive warfare and are on the run, with our capitals threat- ened, we are willing to talk peace, knowing that you will not be offended, and we ask that you stop fighting on condition that you wipe out the account and grant us abso- lute independence, a condition which we might perhaps have enforced on the basis of the campaign as It stood ‘three months ago. We think we have been most reason- able and deferential in our consideration for your feelings, and that you should now substantially recognize our delicate treat- ment of your pride.” It is one of the axioms of war that the defeated party loses advantage in peace The Habitual Orator’s Difficulty.
