PEACE CONyENT/0N13.•
The peace cenveutio4 lately held in
New York city, - is causing the most infia
e ltial of , the Democratic press of the
country considerable discussion. That
the people who - pay the taxes and furnish
the fighting material for the army, and not
the contractors - and others who are grow
ing opulent upon the nation's distresses,
are anxious for peace, there can, of course,
be no question. Fernando Wood s an
adroit politician; is taking advantage of
this natural desire for peace, in order to
enable himself to control the great con
servative party whichs last fall, elected Mr.
Seymour Governor of the great Empire
State of our Union. - The next step in
Wood's programme is to class all Demo
crats who are not for peace upon his plat
form, as being in favor of the Adminis
tration's mode of conducting hostilities
against the rebels. The News, the organ
of Mr. Wood, in its issue of Tuesday last,
remarks that there can be bat "two par•
ties" in such a contest, and then proceeds
as follows:
" There has been much demication of a division
of the Democratic party.' We share in animad
version of any recreancy that would 'tend to as
great a misfortune It is probable that efforts
will be made by, incorrigible demagogues to dis
tract the attention of the people from the real
issues. The power, of the Demo-racy is and must
be concentrated upon one side of the paramount
question, and it has decided. in conformity with
its antecedents, upon which side of the line it
will stand as a chanipion to the utterance."
Out here, in -Western Pennsylvania, we
look to regularly elected and constituted
conventions, for the promulgation of plat
forms, and the resolves of one of these are'
always considered binding until super
ceded by those of a new organization legi•
timately chosen. Nor have we, to our
knowledge, any man in our party, who,
like a Collossus,-bestrides our State, pro
claiming his crotchets the political con-,
viction of a party numbering more than a
qutrter of million of men.
Desirable as peace is, and anxious as
we all are for its speedy return to distract
ed firesides, there is one price the people
will not pay for it—the separation of the
States of the Uoiou, under any circum
stances. This fait being as fired as des
tiny, we should like to know how, at the
present time, Fernando Wood is to bring
about the only 'sort of peace which our
people will even hesitate to consider. The
formation of a peace party, however for
midable, will not put down the rebellion,
nor if it had absolute control of our go
vernment, could it. dictate a policy for
the Davis conspiracy, which is bent
upon, not only independence, but what it
terms the "territorial integrity" of its
section which means all of what are
termed the slave States, numbering fif
teen. No peace will he:acceptable to the
rebels except that which acknowledges
their independence, besides stir abandon•
merit of the border, and other States, new
in virtual poeeession of our arms. This
they have told the country upon many oc
casions; and their insolence in denoun
cing just such peace men as Fernando
Wood, has forced the conviction that noth
ing but force of arms will induce them to
return to their allegiance. We are now
speaking of the present leaders of the re
bellion. There are, of course, hundreds
of thousands of southern people who- de
sire peace, but they'are powerless to ne
gotiate, and until they are able to change
their rnlerethey will be compelled to sub
mit to their present oppression.
Mr. John Van Baran, last fall, expresi
sed a desire for a cessation of hostilities,
is order to -try the effect of negotiation,
' with a view to a reconstruction of the
Union. He spoke kindly of our " erring
brethren," and his propositions only called
, forth rebel denunciations. He and those
who thought with him were held in greater
detestation than absolute Abolitionictts,
and the rebel organs at. Richmond -
informed him that the separation between'
us is " fixed and eternal." This assur
ance knocked all ideas of a reconstruction
of the -Union, with titer present- rebel au-'
thorities, out of hir. Van,-Barenie faturti
political speeches and calculations. And,.
we he-ve no doubt, whatever, that the re-:
aconites of the _Southern ' organs, which
represent the rebel government, will be
equally denunciatory of Wood'eutietipt:
- to induce them to listen to his peace
propositions

MEETING OF EDITORS
The New York editors, who met the

and and stern indignation of the people
at the conduct of Gen, Barnsidv's sup:
pressing the Chicago Times, we do not
see any great good these resolves will ac:
complish. They were payed alter the Ad.
ministration had caved in :
WHERE/S, The liberty and rights of thd
press, as affected by the existence and ne
cessities of a state of war, and especially
of civil war, are topics of the highest pub
lic concern ; and
WnsitEss, Recent events indicate the
existence of grave misapprehensions and
lamentable confusion of ideas with regard
to thitivitil question ; therefore,
Resolved, that our canceptiona of the
rights and duties of the press, in a season
of convulsion and public peril like the
present, are briefly summed up in the fol.
lowing propositions :
l. We recognize and affirm the duty, of
fidelity to the Constitution, government,
and laws of our country, as a high moral
as well as political obligation resting on
every citizen, and neither claim for onr
selves nor concede to others any exemp
tion from its requirements or privilege to
evade their sacred and binding: force.
2. That treason and rebellion are crimes
by the fundatnental law of this as of every
other country; and nowhere else so culpa
ble, so abhorrent, as in a republic,
where
each man has an equal voice and vote in
the peaceful and legal direction of public
affairs.
3. While we thus emphatically disclaim
and deny any 'right as inhering in journal•
'lets or others to incite, advocate, abet,
uphold, or justify treason or rebellion, we
respectfully but firmly assert and maintain
the right of the press to criticise freely
and fearlessly the acts of those charged
with the administration of the government,
also those of all their civil and military
subordinates, whether with intent directly
to secure greater energy, efli iency, and
fidelity in the public service, or in order
to achieve the same ends more remotely
through the substitution of other persons
for those now in power.
4. That any limitations of this right
created by the necessities of war should be
confined to localities wherein hostilities
actually exist or are imminently threaten
ed,'-and.we deny the right of any military
officer to suppress the issues or forbid the
general circulation of journals printed
hundreds of miles from the seat of war.
To the Delegates trona Allegheny
County Appointed to the Demo
cratic State Convention.
A portion of your mmstitmants, mew
hers of th,. great Dstul:tratie party, lcel
ing, ILA wa bulf tut you all lee!, that we
should have II) e t i subserve
"OurAtimatryis, oust tit•d s, and Froths"
would moat respwittfalit, c o unsel
vise with you respecting vuur course in the
approaching State Convention.
Owing to the fact that sonic slight vet
sity of opinion existed as to men, no in
structions were proposed iii the Conven
tion which selected you for its represen
tatives. But you are well aware that tit,
manner of difference existed fa that body
as to principles —the wily fit—ite being
that all private ambition or personal pref
erence should give way to the good idd
motto—" Every thing for the cause, nosh
ing for men."
It wou:d he must gratifying if the choice
of the State Convention should fall upon
Uen. U. W. Ces.,, a Democrat wittiest
fear and without reproach, whose euu•
stancy to our cause has been tested in t hat
fiery furnace for those of our political
faith which ever fiercely blares in this
afflicted county. His private character is
without blemish, his political record is Sit
sullied and pure, and a victory with awl,
a candidate would be substantial and pro•
ductive of the best results.
Bat it, in obedience to the self denying
sentiment that should reign in the breast
of every Democrat, the choice may not
tall upon General Cass, let us do our ut
most to procure a candidate of a similar
stamp. Let ns solemnly adjure you, our
delegates, not to cast your votes for any
man, no matter what may be his zeal or
his real or alleged claims to a nomination,'
upon whose name or fame there rests the .
shadow of a shade. Let not the progress
of our . party be retarded by the vexations
obstacle of being compelled to apologize
for the actual or imputed public or private
errors of our candidate. The sublime mis
sion of the Democratic party should not
be marred by petty ambition nor pervert
ed to gratify the expectations of any man
or set ofmen. Its success, so vital at this.
time to the prepetuation of constitutional;
liberty, should not be imperiled by any con
tracted, though honestly meant effort to re
ward any individual for mere party ser
vices, or to soothe his former disappoint
eats. Ir matters not that the aspirant
may , .have been,. and reap hereafter be, a
mark for greater petsecutions than his al
leged misconduct deserves: the Democrat
ie-party bas a, teak teperformjustnow, a
thousand* tines more impoitant than' the
vindication of any one man's reputation,
or the redress of any one man's- party in
juries.
Nor is it absolutely requisite in the
candidate you may choose that he Atli be
a practised public speaker. The* earning
campaign will need no large conventional
to "fire the hearts" of the Democracy.
The question at issue is neither more nor
less than the , life or-the death of, out civil
Ihelittitions, and our people nnderstand
this fact .pemfally,-weil. They Await, with
patient and , courageous. hearts, and with
the anxiety of deferred hope, the hour
when they can cast their suffrages. No
external excitement is needed to spur
them to their duty. .
With these views, we most respectfully
submit that yon will, in selecting a candi
,date, support one whose private life is ex--
emplary, whose political record is unques
tioneditarui 'whose armor of honesty may
defy assault from any quarter. With such
a man we can scatter the mereenarf bands
who crowd and crawl round the footstool
of ;Central despiilisto, only waiting for, the
Signal that a demoeratie 'defeat would s.f
ford them to tear away the last vestige of
the already more than hafl• destroyed fab
ric of oar liberties. With any other sort
Oa candidate the hazards of the contest
will be immensely increased, and if we are
defeated, we shall have the doubly bitter
regret of knowing that' we might have elec
ted a candidate entirely worthy of our suf
(rages, and of the glorious cause for which
we are contending..
These sentiments are approved and sub
mitted for your consideration by

To His Exerlleney,Aheitham Linco ln,
PrPtifilif Ili of the Viallted Stektetti'.
Sot: I know that many of your party
itistify the violation of the Constitution on
the plea of State necissity 7 - -and yon rath•
er seem to have adopted their'argument.
I am sure you have done it rektetantly,
and have not-seen whither it may lead you.
They tell you that you are sworn to."pre
-
serve, proteet and defend the. Constitm•
"supportsit,!.' as other
officers are, and hence they Bay that you
are hound by no law but the necessity of
the case in the means you may adopt to
preserve, protect and defend it.
It would be useless to spend time in a
verbal criticism of the oath, in order to
answer this argument ; or to go into his
torical discussion in order to show that
the oath was not so understood by the
Fathers of the Constitution, or by any one
since. The argument can be better an
swered by a look at its consequences. It
means that you are not bound by the Con.
stitution and laws of the land in preserv
ing, protecting and defending the Consti•
tution ; that you may violate the Consti
tution as you please, when you think the
time has come for you to protect it.
If this be so, then you mayellisniss every
State court, legislature, or Governor that
you suppose is about to violate, or to act
contrary to your views of its meaning. Nay
mcire, you may hang or shoot them if you
think this necessary. Yon,may turn out
or hang all the federal judges .who decide
contrary to your notions of the Conatitu•
tion. You may, like Cromwell, enter the
halls of Congress with your - military guard,
and drive away the representatives of the
people and of the States, because you sup
pose them about to pass some unconstitu
tional measure.
Then your oath of office makes your
power absolute, notwitstanding all. the
pains taken by the statesmen of the revo
lution to limit it. This is very absurd; it
is mournful to think .how many have re
joiced in this interpretation of your official
oath, and how desperate must be their
party fealty, and how shallow their allegi
ance to the constitution. Youhave no pow
er, even to preserve, protect and defend
the Constitution, except what the Consti•
tution and the laws passed in accordance
with it give you, and there is no authority
iu the land that can give you any high
er power. You cannot violate the Con.
siltation in order to preserve it, without
a breach of duty. You cannot, under
pretence of saving the Constitution, ap
point deers, civil or military, that are
to exerciie the duties which the Ceti
stitution has committed to other bands.
When in 1227,, Charles, Duke of Cala.

party in power i.. I lorenee,
finding the ordinary tribunals not suffi
ciently pliant., established the otlice of
'• Captain of the (luard and Conservator
of the Peace," having been moved to the
measure "by a wish of strengthening them
selves and maintaining, at all hazards, the
ascendency al their own faction." • This
otlicer had "a power that, soaring above
all law, pounced upon the unconscious
prey without danger, responsibility or mer
cy ; a power which, strengthened by fifty
men at arms and one hundred foot guards,
scared all good citizens, and filled the
community with tortnre, exile and death.
There was here no form of trial, and this
man was independent of every statute or
court of justice, as be was irresponsible to
any public authority in the common
wealth." This power was, of course, cru-
tally executed ; and it was, in a little over
a year. abolished with horror, and "neither
intrigue nor persuasion could again induce
the Florentines to renew the odious and
tyrannical office, and the holder of it left
Florence " filled with gold and crime, and
followed by one deep and universal curse."
The Roman Augustus succeeded better
when he seized upon the supreme power,
and converted the republic into an em.
pire. He deceived the people by keeping
up the forms of the constitution of the
republic, while t.e gradually deprived them
of all their substance, and the people of
their liberty. He ruled by weans of the
army, and transmitted his power to his
successors, in whose hands arbitrary pow
er continued to increase until the time of
national dissolution came.
When Philip 11 of,Spain became sover
eign of the Netherlandi, le took-. an 'oath
to preserve the constitution' and laws of
the country, or more particularly, "to
preserve to all the nobles, towns,commons
and subjects all their ancient privileges
and immunities, and all their customs,
usages, rights and prescriptions." ,But
he very soon violated all these rights.—
Under what he regardedris State aieee.isity,
he set aside well settled customs and insti
tutions, introduced foreign officers and
foreign laws, issued edicts creating new
crimes, ouppressing the freedom of the
press and of speech, establishing strange
and unusual punishments, instituting
strange courts, and special and irregular
commissions for the trial of offences, and
superseding the native and regular ' tribu
nals. . All this alscoFed a fatal want of
trust in the people, and of sympathy with
their customs anti long •settled political
opinions, and by such condnci. Philip
raised and kept up a rebellion that result
ed in independence. I will not point out
the resemblances 'between these - items of
history and the acts in which yon are now
bearing so large a• share... You and e
may profit by these suggestions without
my doing that. '
But let me notice how differently Wil
liam of Orange conducted himself in the
life-struggle of his country. He was the
acknowledged leader of the revolution;
but in all his acts he carefully reipeeta
all the institutions of his country, and all
the differing itnititutions„ religious . and
civil, of its various parts. He alwaYs
oonsulted.the public will-through the eon

WASHINGTON. June 9.—lt has been de

to be enrolled, nevertheless under the first
enrollment? those who were in the milita
ry servece at the time the act went into
effect, namely, the :Id of March last, are

subject to the first draft. Those of the
second class are not to bo called out until
those of the first class shall have been
exhausted.
WAtiIIINI;TON, June 10.—Much jasper
lance-is attached by military men to the
proposed organization of the invalid corps.
The corps, though a novelty in our ser•
vice, promises good results, both to die•
abled soldiers and the United States Gov•
ernment. The term of enlistment is three
years, unless sooner discharged. The
corps is required to perform all duties
witai❑ their physical capacity but for
convenience of service they will be select
ed for three grades of duty. Those most
efficient and capable,.usingthe musket and
performing guard duty, light marches,
will he a•ii•gtieci to companies of the first
battalion, The next in physical efficiency,
including all wt o have lust hand or arm,
to companies of the second battalion
l'ho3e least effective, and all who have
lost toot 1/C leg, to companies of the third
battalion. These two classes are to be
armed with swords. Those faithful sol
Mete whose physical infirmities are too
great to admit of their entering the inva
lid corps, will nevertheless receive pen
sions and bounties provided by law.
It is further announced that no officer
or enlisted man shall be entitled to receive
any pension or bounty for enlistment, re•
enlistment or service in the invalid corps.
They will receive all other pay and allow
ance now authorized by law Triirted
States infantry, excepting increased pay
tut' re enlistment. No pensions can be
drawn or accrue to any man during hie
service in the corps. It is thought 20,-
nOO or :10,00.1 soldiers can thus be brought
into the United States 4-rvice; besides, it
is believed there are over dim,ots) soldiers
who have bee❑ discharged for disabilities
—many, however, of the slightest charac
ter. The provisions of the law extend to
marines.

vantages to an invalid ot being placed in
every respect on an equality with all other
soldiers, he can feel that he is still in the
discharge ot duty to the extent of his phys
ical capacity, and be usefully employed as
guard, nurse, With a feeling of pride
and satisfaction that he is rendering an
equivalent for the pay and allowances
which, he receives from the Government,
in the maintenance of which he became an
invalid.
NEM YORK) June 10.—The West India

England.
St. Thomas advices Of the 4th' ult.,
state that seven Federal vessels of war
were then in that harbor. composing the
stinedron of Commodore Wilkes, who evi
dertly intended making St. Thomas the
centre of operations in the West Indies,
regardless of the fact that St. Thomas was
in possession of the Danish Crown.
The Massachusetts was to all intents

up in readiness to overhaul 'any vessel
leaving the harbor, and otherwise annoy
the shipping leaving-port.
The Gemaribok had been dismantled
and made a stationery coal hulk.
Vessels with-coal were there from the
States supplying the fleet, and other stores

It was expected that the Danish govern

has fallen, may too soon diminish, and it
is in this gradual loss-.of men, eminent by
their qhalities and skill, that the South
