Peace Democrats, Ever since the beginning of the wicked and uncalled for war that is now spreading decolation and darkness over our once hap~ Py country, there has bzen a class of men— men of principle, of feeling and of under- standing, who have shown towards the min- fons of Abolitionism a spirit of christian for- hearance and patient suffering unexampled in the history of the past. The persons we sllude to have been, and are still, termed Peace Democrats. They are those who have lcoked and longed, hoped and prayed, that the ravages of a war unnecessarily be: gan and unconstitutionally carried on might cease—who have stood like beacon lights on a rocky coast, pointing out to a ship wreck: ed people the harber of hope—the Ccnstitu- tion 8s our fathers made and interureted it— shedding a divine ray upon the scathing, his. sing current of public opinion, that was dash. ing on, madly, wildly, in the blackness of de spair—those who have asked only that *‘equal and exact justice’ should be grant. ed to all men, and that the 1ights of all the pecples of all the States should be preserved and protectcd —who would not join in the bloody war cry, nor dance with joy over the cold corpse of their slaughtered country~ men, because of a so called victory—who cannot sce strength in a Nation built upon the ruined fortunes and blighted hopes of its own citizens, nor a Union of States pin- ned together with bayonets and plastered aver with the blood of its noblest men— whose every thought has been, and is now for the welfare of the people, and every act for the eternal preservation of our govern ment—who have cherisl.ed from the cradle up sentiments, the carrying out of which has raised “thirteen ragged, starving colo~ nies to thirty.four rich and powerful States, and whose voices of warning, had they been heard and heeded, would have saved the thirty four States from the disgrace and ruin they are now suffering. “ Gointo what community you will, and see who constitute this class of persons that have stood firm and undaunted by ther principles during these dark and trying hours. Go, we say, and learn their true character—learn that their utmest efforts have ever been put forth to preserve our country and couniry’s laws, from the ruth~ less grasp of the ruffians who assail them now—learn that they are om most worthy citizens and substantial men, who scorn their low accuscrs as they would scorn to be guilty of the crimes imputed to them, and then answer us if they are ‘“‘traitors,” de- serving the contumely and scorn that has been heaped upon them by their vindictive - traducers. Turn, for a moment, with us and see who the worthy patriots (?) are, that are now bunting down every vestige of what we once claimed as rights, and trampling under foot every law and precedent, under the specious plea of “necessity” or devotion to the gov- ernment.” Time has not blotted out the actions of their Tory fathers during the dark days of the Revolution. It has not erased the record of their treasonable plottings at the “Hartford Convention,” nor burried the “blue lights” on the shores of the Atlantic. The ghosts of the murdered Quakers and burned witches tell to day of thelr “blue laws,” and the scenes enacted by the ¢ black ¢ockaders” under their ‘‘alien and sedition laws,” are yet fresh in the minds of many. Their shricks for the wrongs of ‘bleeding Kansss’’ has not yet died upon the air, nor their banners ot * FREE SPEECH, Fremont and Freedom,” carried from our sight. — Their sneers and taunts of *“Union savers,” is tingling in the ears now of Peace Demo crats, and slurs at ‘‘constitutional stuicklers’” is not yet forgotten. Their mottoes of “no Union with slave holders,” 15 as precious with them to-day as during the campaigns of ’56 and ’60, and their flags with but siz~ teen stars is cherished as glorious memen- toes of principles which still survive within their breasts. Their groans for the ‘fop~ pressed African’ 1n the South can be heard even now echoing mournfully among the hills and valleys of our own county, and prayers for the deliverance of the negro from the *'bonds of servitude,” is ascending daily from their hypocritica: hearts. Up to the beginning of this war, a patri otic sentiment was never known to issue from their lips—a thought for the good of their country never entered their minds.— Freedom for the ‘blacks’ and slavery for the whites is their great designs—disunion, debt end desolation the only end they would ac- complish. On the corners of the streets and in bar rooms during the day, will they be und bowling about “traitors in our midst,” and at night meanly sneaking about, trying to drag some honest farmer from his home and friends to the dismal cells of a government prison, og 1n their dark dene plotting how to suppress some li. tle country paper, whose tditor perhaps, stands with angel purity when compared with their own nefarious scts. Is it not enough to tell us Peace men ire right when we sce the wretches who op- soze them ¥ Not a vagabond that runs the itreet and bellows for war, but is treated as patriot by these newly converted ‘Union avers,’’ whose only Jaw is brute force, and hote knowledge of freedom goes not be. ond their own desires.

For years ling to place our country where she stands to-day, anc they now gloat over the success of their long wished for end. . Let the mother, with silvered locks and agony over the corpse of her cherished son» remember what fiends it is that have caused her this, and as she turns away, with no bope but inthe grave, let her lif her feeble voice to God on High to save the remnant of our torn and bleeding county from the grasp of these ingatiate wretches. Let her pray for a blessing on the heads of those who have cried peace, peace, in order that her own born should be spared her. ——— ee, The Abolition alias Republican Party. If ever there wasa party, administers of the Government of any nation which has or ever had existence, who more deserve the scorn and detestation of every good man, then the Republican or Abolition party, who now control affairs at Washington, we have never heard or read of it. Search the an nals of History, from Alpha to Omega, and you cannot find, taking into consideration all the circumstances, a ruler of a nation, and his advisers whose policy was so firmly fixed, and which was such an open violation of alllaw und suicidal in its measures as the abolition one now ruining our once great country. The party of which Abram Lincoln is merely a pliant tool, came into powe aot when he was inaugurated but a year before andduring the last winter of Mr. Buhanan« an’s Administration, that party had the power to have am cably arranged and settled the difficult ies then existing between the two sections of our now forever divided country. But being determined to violate, not only constitutional law, but the constitution itself and likewise the laws of nature and of God, (for we believe that God created the negro for a servant) they refused all terms, that would have secured a peaceable adjustment and are thus res sible s0LELY responsible for the unconstitu- tional and damnnable ruinous war, that is now being waged by the North upon the South. Foolish and wicked in its nature, idiotic in its conception, and terribly disas. trous in its results, it cannot be otherwise than a blot forever, upon the hitherto un- tarnished name of American liberty and American civilization, the words will be words of scorn and contempt, and we will be derided and laughed at as a people who boasted of every thing, and was capable of doing nothing but destroying themselves, ali Europe is already giggling” at Lincoln's abolition proclamation. Think of this ye anti-slaverites, and lovers of the negro, Is 1t not pleasant to have your highest repre- sentative the laughiug stock of a whole con- tinent ? What a “roar” there must have been, and what an amusing joke must ‘Old Abram” have perpetrated to have ex- cited the risibalities of half the world. Being determined to destroy “slavery ' or in case they could not, to seperate the States ; and believing that the North was much stronger than the South—that negro msurrections would arise and the legal ten- ure by which ‘‘slaves” are held destreyed under the war power, they plunged on mad- ly inte the almost endless war, the misery and cost of which none can compute, Their attewpts to wipe out slavery by’ unconstitutional legislation, is too well known to need rehersal here, and their off orts to dissolve the American Union, has been crowned with too much success, to doubt their ability to succeed®and when they leave the administration of the Government to Democratic hands, which they will be forced to doin 1864, they will leave the country broken into fragments, and sad. dled with an enormous debt—the people groaning under the weight of taxes levied to pay the interest of that debt—the land drenched with the blood of its noblest sons fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters mourning for lost ones murdered in unholy strife— misery and poverty bequeathed to the peo- ple and their liberties crushed out with the constitution of our country, all for the abo lition of “slavery” or the destruction of certain instilutions—sanctioned not only by the law of the land, but of Ged as de- clared by the inspired writers. May cur- ses deep and innumerable rest on anti-sla- veryism for the useless destruction it has caused. ——————— GLORIOUS NEWS. New York GoNk DEMOCRTIC.—Our news from the election in New York, on last Tues day, is but meager, yet enough of returns have been received to show that the State has gone largely Democratic. Seymore, the Peace Democrat candidate for Governor, is elected b~ an overwhelming majority. — There will also be a Democratic Legislan ture, and a majority of Democrats to Conn gress. The war Democrats and Abolitionists are gone under entirely. 07 From the army this week, we have no news whatever. All “is quiet along the Potomac,” and likely to remain so for some time. Itis rumored that part of the Federal forces have crossed to the Virginia side, buat we do not hear of them making ‘very rapid strides towards the Southern capital. There has been several skirmishes during the past week in the Southwest. Both sides claim the victories. I Goon Nrws ¥rom New Jemsgy.—The Democrats have carried everything, from Governor down to Supervisor. Bully for New Jersey. eB OO Pen. A Lrrrie Ligue iv 4 Dark Prac.—The returns from the election in Massachusetts indicate the defeat of Andrews, Abolition candidate for Governor, by Diyens, the Peo A How can it be settled 7 that's the ques- tion. Almost two years have now elapsed of lives have been offered up upon the shrine of our conatry, and millions of treasure spent stolen, and squandered to end the war. - A million of armed men stand with glittering bayonets pointing Southward to-day, deter: mined upon ending this bloody struggle, by overwhelming the rebel forces and triumph; - ancly marching to the capital of the South— mond," by an over zealous people through out the North, who have always deemed this war as but a breakfas: job, has been given to stirulate our brave army in has. tenting them on to victory. The mighty resources of the North have been poured out in aid of a “vigorous prose- cution of the war.” Infact, everything has been done which the Ncrth could do, to strengthen the bands of the Administration in conducting the war to its final termina tion. They have submitted tamely to unwar rantable usurpations of power on the part of Chief Executive, which, in other times, cost a kingly despot kis crown and his head.— They have closed their eyes upon the stu~ pendous frauds that have marked the course of this administration from its advent to power until the present, and with willing hear:s have lent a willing hand te the adw ministration in everything it has underta ken to do, that the rebellion might be put down, and this horrible war brought to a speedy close. All this and much more, has beeu done by the loyal North, and we could bave wish- ed it better success. And why has it not succeeded 2 Whyhas not the cry of on to Richmond been answered ? Why is that “million of bayonets pointing Southward," held by strong hands, nerved by brave hearts, s ancing apparantly still just where they stood a year ago? Because another million of bayonets pointing Northward, held by men of the same race and in whose veins courses the same blood—whose arms are just as strong nerved by hearts that are just as brave and are just as determined as our own, stand just across the way a little distance which prevent our onward move- ments. We have been going ‘‘onto Richmond” for nearly two years. Once we were nearly there—almost in sight—hut necessity, stern necessity, compelled our retreat. The God dess of Victory has sometimes been with us and sometimes against us, and to day we are no nearer Richmond than we were one year ago. ; The two armies stand menacing each oth- er, each evincing that determination which characierizes our revolutionary sires, in throwing off the yoke of foreign bondage. — Brave boys ! Their blood is too precious to be wasted in fratricidal stife--their lives too valuable to be lost without anything be- ing gained in return. One half a million of lives have already been given up. An ach- ing void has been created in five millions of fond hearts for the dear ones lost, that can never be filled. Millions upon mi'lions of treasure has been wasted, and in return we have nothing but the prosperity of taxation, bankruptcy and ruin. An embittered fecling has been engenders ed between the people of the two sections of the Union, whe should feel toward each oth- er like brothers. This disaftecting process still goes on, and with every life that is lost on either side a dozen more become embit tered, caloused and frenzied wi h the spirit of revenge —and what is gained 2 Nothing, but a happy union of all ‘he States under one Government, is made more difficult to accomplish. Can the Union then be restors ud by a continuance of this fratricidal war 2 The history of the last eighteen months an swers no. [Is there no other means thea, aside from the war power. that can be en. voked to recement the dismembered frag ments of Lhis once happy government, and put an end to this bloody and fruitless war ? Surely the spirit of compromise. that has so many times, in the history of the world, proven itself an efficacious healing balw for distracted and d snembercd governments, can not have lost its power 2 It should be tried at least, and if it fails. God help us, It is well understood at Washington, that leading and influential men in the South have profered an armistice, in the hope that terms may be agreed upon. They propose the Orittenden Compromise measures as a vasis of settlement. They do not ask to be acknowledged as a separate government, but are willing to remain in the Union, if the North will respect the rights granted to them by the Constitution. The North has al- ways protested that it did not intend {o in~ terfere with any of the Constitutional rights, and why should it refuse to treat with them and allow them to come back peaceably into the Union ? The reason is said to be, that we can never treat with rebels in arms. — However humiliating it might be to the ad - ministration to do so, yet there is more at stake than the prideof party. If the Union can be restored by treating with rebels in arms, is it not infinitely better to do 80 than to destroy it forever and all its blessings, by refusing so to treat ? The immortal Douglas said, that “war is dissolution, final and eternal separation,” and the sequel thus far proves the truth of his declaration. Why, then, should we pers severe in it, when it evidently will forever destroy the object we wish to preserve ?— The South has committed many great Wrongs, among which the greatest was their act of secession, A party in the North has cowmitted many wrongs against the people of the South for which it needs forgiveness. All must be forgotten and forgiven before peace and harmony can be again restored. — War can not accomplish this, but compro- mise can. Let the two vast armies then at once go into winter quarters, and terms of negotia~ tion be comuwenced. . Let the terms of set- tlement, if they can not be agreed upon by a convention of the States, which should be called tor that purpose, be submitted to a vo e of the people, and we believe the war can be settled and the Union restored just as i: was, under the Constitution of our fa- thers just it is. If we will not do this, for eign intervention will force, on our part, a recognition of the Southern Confederacy, when the separation will be final 30 sien, “ ples candidate, ! nal. - sinceit began, during which time thousands |- ern Confederacy. The cry of “On to Rich-, [Prepared etprosly for tes Waten man.) 0 Man, Who Art Thou? iv OR REFLECTIONS ON PEACE AND WAR, > F . {Continued from last Number.) The religion of Jesus Christ, in its practi- :c#l effects, - breathes ‘glory to God, in the highest on ¢u:thi p aos and good willtomen.’ It requires apd produces in man the com - plete control of his passions—tgaches us. that we (ust return good for evil —that we mast love our enemies do ‘ good to them that hate us—and forgive other's. their tres« passes. Now if men are fulfilling Lhese ob- ligations when they are killing and butchers ing one another--and dotng all the possible harm they can to their enemies — then, chris, tianity sanctions war—but not otherwise, — To say a man may bes christian, when he goes into the field of battle and kills his enemy, or tries to injure him, is equivalent to saying that christianity does not require men to love their enemies. If war and has tred of enemies is not a positive violation of a christian command —I know not what is. *Oh turn for why will ye die * Take [your Testament and turn into your closet, and there on your bended knees pray to youl God, that you may more fully comprehend the teachings of that sacred volume, this is the weapon by which we may conquer the true enemy, the old serpent the DEVIL.” [tis under his influence that our beloved country is now stained with the blood of brother upon brother, had the great exam- ple of our Savour been truly carried out, by the professed followers of christ 1anity, — War, Carnage, and all its train of horrible evils could never have taken place in any country. or under any influence that his SATANIC MAJESTY niight have suggested No, bitter water and sweet can never, flow from (he same fountain, cays the true heart ed christian I love the precepts of Jesus..— Of all that has ever been written, touching the duties of man, the Sermon on the Mount is the most sublime intelligible and practi« cal exposition of them, embodied in which are the plain christian precepts, in malice, haired, revenge and the like passions are without reservation prohibited. And where the indulgences of these passions is forbid- den. war and’ fightings ~are as positively forbiddeu as;though there had been a direct precept on the subject, for without the in dulgenee of these dispositions, no war ever has been, or ever can be carried into opera. tion. We read in the New Testament that Jesus Christ came into the world to save, not to destroy wen’s lives ; that among the fruits of his religion is the visiting the wid- ow and fatHerless in their afflictions—but nothing like war, which makes widows and orphans by thousands and then leaves them to drag out a miserable existence and die in ebscurity, unnoticed and unpitied by the world. We do not find that he ever prayed for the destruction of his enemies, as some of his professed brethren do, there is no in- stance where he ever encouraged any one to return evil for evil—no one where he ever countenanced retaliation—nor did he ever tell his disciples thats king om was of this world, and that it was lawful for them to fight. Ou the other hand he always in- culated the principles of peace —forgivness —mercy—love—patience—compassion and kindness, — ‘Blessed are the merciful for they shall obtain mercy,” It may be said by some that these precepts are only appli. cable to private life. wel. suited for the individual in the capacity of a citizen, and christian, but it never was intended that nations should exhibit toward nation the magnanimous forbearance and pacific spirit of the Gospel. Then what construction will the advocates of war, put on the teachings of Jesus, to ameliorate the strife now going on between the North and the South broth: er butcheringing brother !! He that says he loves God and hateth his brother, is a liar, but the decree.of man though he be President or Governor, ‘@0¢s not change or repeal the command “Thou shalt not kill; does this’ command only pertain to the citi zen in private lite 2 certainly not, had it been so intended the distinction would have been made. Nojitis a mistaken opinion, because it would require a man to profess two characters uuder one of which he may serve Christ—and under the other, Anti- Christ. The uniform adherence to the obli- ga ions and principles to christianity in all situations, whether in public or private life constitutes the true christian and most useful citizen: It is the just and uniform application of these principles to human conduct, alone that “‘exalteth a nation” as well as an individual, and gives security and stability to the recessary regulations regulations which may be established by the common consent of mankind for the good of society, Nothing can be more op- posed to the spirit of the Gospel than retali- ation and revenge, and that war is produc tive of these and a host of other diabolical passious, no considerate man can for a mo ment doubt. That such were the voices of the early christians there is ample evidence on record—mark the language of the apos. tles; *“From whence came wars and fighting among you—come they not hence even of your lusts that war in your members.” Jas, 1v.1.

These with many other passages that might be sclected from the writings of the Apostles are suffi. cient to show us how. they understood the precepts of their divine master. It is also certain that the christians of the 1st and 24 centuries belioved that war was forbidden by the Gospel, they openly declsrad thi —— ST belief, and in the support of it were willing even to sacrifice their lives—many of them suffered martyrdom for their faithfulness to the cause of him whe said “My kingdom is not of this world, else would my servants fight.” the following are a few instances thereof, Marcellus was convinced of Chris- tianity while holding the commission of centurion in the army, and for refusing lon- ger to serve he was committed to prison. van to bear arms for any earthly consider-, ation, and he was in consequence put to death. Oassian another christian convert in the same legion, also gave up Fs come mission, and for the same cause was con- signed to the executioner, was bred to the profession of arms, but when he was convinced of christianity, he abondoned his prefession, the reason he gave for his con- duct was this, “I am a christian, and there fore 1 cannot fight,” Lactanius, another early christian, says expressly “It can neva er be lawful for a righteous man to go to war.” Justine Martyr declares that the refusal of the christians to bear arms was a fulfillment of the ancient prophecy, “We who in times past killed ane another do not now fight with our enemies.” These were the views of the christians who immediate. ly succeeded the Apustles in the carly ages of the church, and this faithfulness was maintained throughout the first two centu ries But as the church lost its purity and became corrupted, and the love of filthy lucre became predominant, her aspiring bishoog began to count the kingdoms of this world, and the glory of them, they yielded to worldly influences—little by lit- tle they forsook {he precepts of their Divine Master, till military forms were borrowed from the nations around them, and among whom they dwelt, to eschew tne engage- ments by which they attached themselves to Christ as their leader, The introduction of military forms readily paved the way for the military spirit. The civil and ecclesias- tical dominion became blended, professing christians became amalgamated with the corrupt customs and worals of the age, and the doctrine that war was anti christian, ceased to be rega.ded by carnal profesors as the doctrine of Christ. This doctrine being abandoned, the great mass of people who were kept in darkness and ignorance by their leaders, were easily persuaded to take up arms. and even to believe that they had a Divine command for the commission of the most inhuman deeds. During the ages of general corruption and violence, which succeeded the union of church and State, there was some left who still advoca- ted the cause of Peace, The Waldenses in the 12th century, declined and condemned all wars and fightings as inconsistent with the christian religion: In the 15th century the enlightened Erasmus, wrote his “com plaint of Peace” and “plea of reason relig~ ion and humanity against war," Episcolas declares that the wars of the christians fur- nished the Jews wih substantial reasons for reflecting christianity, Wickliffe de- clares that the whole trade in war was 8in ful. That pious and learned man, Bistop Taylor, had a clear view of the genuine doc. trine of Christ, when he expressed himself thys : “As contrary as cruelty is to mercy, A to charity ; so are war and bicod shed to the meekness and gentleness of the christian religion. I had thought, said he of ihe prophecy, that under the gospel, our swords should be turned into ploughshares, and our spears into pruning hooks, I do know that no tittle spoken by God’s spirit should retura unperformed and ineftectual ; and I was certain that such was the excel. lency of Christ’s doctrine, that if men would obey it, christians should never war one sgainst another.” In short, every come mand, every injunction, every example set for.h by our Savour, proclaims in the most impressive manner, that all wars and fight- ings are at variance with the principles, precepts and practices of christianity and the mandates of the Apostles—and the 50- cietyiwhich was gathered through their m- strumentality, have continued through ma. ny persecutions to bear a (#ithful testimony on the subject to the present day They be~ lieve that all wars and fightings, whether offensive or defensive, for whatever purpose or by whomsover they may be conducted, are contrary to the will of God, and that being unreservedly prohibited by the pre. cepts of Jesus, no real christian can engage in, or encourage them. And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, my house shall be called of al} nations. the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of :hieves.—MARK x1 chapter, 17 verse. (T0 BE CONTINUED.)
