PEACOCK, FETHERSTON & CO. Thursday, October 6, 1670. THE PEACE SOCIETY. , . Everybody admits that the doctrines and principles of thaTeace Society, which is again pressing its claims upon the public; are excel lent; and if such a thing were possible every honest man and woman would hail with delight the sincere conversion of mankind to the - Society's theories. But while the human race is as wicked and corrupt as it is now, We , can not perceive in what way peace principles are to be accepted practically even by the good men of the world. - War is undoubtedly a fear ful thing; and -it . -will be adriiitfed by every- body that the individual who causes it, or who, having been forced into it, c tinues it Without righteous cause, is a Crimi the worst cha racter. But what ddes the Peace c delay offer as- a substitute? Nothing. It merely entreats the world to refrain from fighting, and if all the world consented there would be no trouble. But if half the peOple of the world joined the Society, the Society could only ask them to ac cept with humility the lticks and cuffs which - would assuredly be given to them. As long as men. .are assailed they must, : defend them selves. When the rebels tried to overthrow this . Union -we had ~ either to suinnit to tiestiiidtion of 6V - 6 - orthilig that made life worth having, or fight. • Of the two evils, destruction-or war, the latter was by far the more , preferable; and so when Prussia was attackdd by Napoleon she could not help fighting - reen if she had desired peace most earnestly. The instinct of self-preservation is stronger than faith in the loveliest peace theories ; and this will always inspire nations and individuals to forcible resistance until a system of defence more effective than fighting is discovered. Even a member of the Peace Society would fight with a ruffian who tried to - him. When all the ruffians are removed, either from ordinary society,or the society of nations, there will be no need of war ; at present, 11 - 0 matter bow much we dis like fighting we are compelled to it., and the only thing we can do to show our approval of the excellent, sentiments.ohthe Peace Society is to punish as severely as, possible the indi vidual's who make conflict necessary. • • EiIItOPEAN Anip_AILERICAN SOlfr During the suspense that marks the preSent position of the hostile armies ha Fiance, there is little offered for speculation as to the proba ble course of events ; although every one is expecting to hear before long that. Paris has succumbed. At such-a time the views of in telligent American -observers of the French and German armies nlay be referred to, espe cially when they make comparisons of theni with our own armies during the rebellion. Lieuteniud-General Sheridan; who has been at the Prussian Headquarters during the. whole time of active operations, is reported to have written that while the military organization of the Germans is superior to that 1 , ,f the French, and while the men are also of better physique, neither French or Germans are the equals of the soldiers of: our late war in strength and endurance. The Lieutenaut-General also con siders our best small-arms as superior to both the Chassepot and the IN'eedle-gun. This judgment of one of our most distin guished soldiers is corroborated by the opinions of various intelligent Americans who have been in France and Germany since the war began ; who saw the Prussians advancing to the Rhine; who saw French regiment after regiment leav_ ing,Paris amid the cheers of the populace ; who observed the bearing and the training of-both ' armies ;" who witnessed the trains of wounded borne back from the battle-fields, and had op portunities of watching the preparations made for treating the _sufferers. A distinguished physician of Philadelphia, just returned from Europe, saw all these things, and his views exactly conform to those of Sheridan. But, in addition, he says that neither Germany or France has any such provision for the care of the wounded as the United States had during the rebellion. In fact, the best arrangements made by either power'are but imperfect imita tions of the American Sanitary and Itospital arrangements, and these are mainly in tli4 hands of Americans. In a letter to the Anti-Coolie League Mr. WM. B. Thomas declares that Chinamen have no right to come here at all," and he asserts that if he had it way "a Chinese wall would be built upon •our Wehern coast," so high that no " heathen Chinee " could scale it. The existence of the great orighL Chinese wall; and of the exclusive policy which has kept the empire in a condition of semi-bar barism, is due, probably, to the fact that the - mass of the Chinese people have always been governed by precisely , such sentiments of bigotry and prejudice as those to which Mr. Thomas has given expression. But before the arrival of Mr. Thomas upon the political battle field nobody ever imagined that earnest belief in such doctrine fitted a man to legislate for the civilized Christian people of a free country. In regard to his assertion that Chinamen " have 1m right to come here," we may say that unlei be can prove that anything exists in our laws, our traditions ..or in.the.principles oLour.Government,.which.. discriminates in favor of any class of immi grants, or declares that one foreigner has a bat( right to come here than another, we, a call be compelled to consider this assertion as_ - - a lirstAlass example of what Carlyle calls " Jack assay." Further. than this, it may, be said that the manner in which laboring men swal ipw all the stuff of this kind offered to them by politicians who care neither for Coolie nor Caucasian, so that they may climb to office, is not creditable to their intelligence. 1f ~,of these 'men can be induced to prornieto cols, Corgi'ess against-the Coolie - contract system, and if there Is any.hope that he will keep his - promise, very well ; but any politiciaff4,wiy, declares his intention to keep individual :ClEi nebe immigrants ont of the country, is either knave or a I'6ol ; for it cannot be done. TbB. report of the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund of the State of Pennsylva nia, dated October Ist, appears in our ad vertising columns to-day. By this it ap pears that the State debt, which was created and• built up under successive cop'upt pemo cratic administrations to over fOrty-one mil lions of dollars, now am - mints to' only $31,238,z 389. • &nee the 30th day November, 1809, the reduction has been 81,570,151. The re duction has been effected mainly 'during the .Republican administrations of Curtin and Geary, which have made as good a record for the State as Grant's administration has for : the ..nation. Let the voters bear in mind, when they-0 to the polls next week.,;hatak) vote for the Democratic ticket is to vote against this_ wise, honest and economical policy of both the State and the Federal governments. 'When a really good :eandidate for the Legis lature is fairly before theyeoplei he should re'4 , ceive 1 - .. he support of p.ll good men. This is the case-in the Twelfth District, composed of the Eighteenth Ward. and part of the Nineteenth.. The Republtcans have nominated. John Lamon: Tills gentleman has intelligence, ex-' perience, character and ability to recommend him. He is known to our citizens, .has been tested in office, and has been proved as honest and worthy. Such men should receive the en dorsement of the peoPle at the'Polls.:Eitid we earnestly recommend him to the voters of-both parties. who desire good and wholesome laws, a,pure administration of affairs in our State Legislature, and a true representative of the people. The returns of the ', Little Election" in Delli,ware shim Republican' gams in every county, though in some of the Hundreds there were no Republican candidates. In New castle county the Republicans have gained seven hundred since fbe election of ISUS. The voting all indicates that Delaware is to be re deemed at the coming election, and that'-the Republicaveandidates-for-Governor--amt- Con grenss will be eleeted. l'ennsyyania take fresh courage from the good signs in little-Delaware. In a note rs lo the editor of this paper Gene ral Thomas says that he " never lisped the name of 0: N. Boyle, either in pub lie or in private." He was never charged with lisping, but if he has never asked the question concerning 0. N. Boyle, which Mrs. Boyle has answered through . the public papers, then some one has .blundered— t worse. 119=32M M OPENING TRIMMED BONNETS , AND FIATS, Wednesday and Thursday, Oct. 5 and O. GEO. W.
