THE MUNICIPAL ELECTION.
The Democratic meeting held on Tues
day evening having called primary meet
ings for Saturday evening, we trast that
there will be a good turn out in the several
ward 3, and that we may have a full con
vention. Nominations are to be made for
Mayor, Controller and .Treasurer. In
casting about for candidates for these re
sponsible places, we trQßt that the conven
tion may select the very beat men in our
party. Because the Abolitionists, with all
their power, and their presumed ability to
elect their candidates, select as their can
didates fourth rate men, it is no reason
why we should do so. Let us set them an
example in this, and show that if we have
not the nambers to succeed at the polls,
we have, at least, a sense of propriety
sufficient to select good candidates. Nor
should any gentleman, no matter how im
portant, reluße to let his name be used in
this connection. The fact of a convention,
representing thousands of intelligent
voters, placing one of their fellow-citizens
in nomination for an important public
trust, is m itself a compliment which
should gratify his feeling. Let us have
good candidates, at all events; whether
they be elected is quite another question.
24. 1863,
We were not only pleased but astonish
ed with yesterday’s issue of the Pittsburgh
Gazette , it contained nothing, editorially,
of the WTongs it.flicted upon the negro,
but it devoted a few lines to the benefit of
the white men in the army. This looks
like improvement in onr fanatical contem
porary, and we, accordingly, congratulate
it upon its lucid interval. Oar neighbor
bus been tardy however in approachic'
the subject. We directed its attention 1
the small pay of cur soldiers BQver
times,, but not until yesterday did it g
expression in favor of increasing tl
compensation. Better late than ne /f,
however; our contemporary has at length
spoken in favor v.f increasing the pay of
our gallant Union defenders, and we are
glad of it, it sentibly and jaßtly observes:
“The present remuneration of soldiers,
as a contemporary remarks, is by no
meaDS adequate to their expenses, to say
nothing of their valuable services—and
when WAgas, generally throughout the
country are being increased, their claims
should not certainly be disregarded.
Thousands of our soldiers have large fam
ilies depending almost entirely upon them
tor their daily sustenance, and after the
earn reserved for the excess of clothing,-
over that allowed each year, is deducted
from a soldier’s pay, the amount which he
is enabled to remit home is very small,
this necessarily entailing suffering and
want upon his Wife and children. ’ ‘
We recollect not loDg ago, of nlladicg
to the fact of some of our Boldisrs' fami
lies being in straightened circumstances;
at which the Gazette became quite bois
terous io its denunciations of what it
termed copperhead falsehood?. Bat we
are so pleased with iis present remarks

Virginia and South Carolina ore not
included in this list, because the former
- is not mentioned in the proclamation
and the latter never cast 3 presidtmiri

donbt an effort will soon be made to
reorganize the state governments in
Louisiana, Arkansas and Tennessee, pud
as military governors are not particular,
in case there are not a sufficient number
of bona fide voters, onough loyal soldiers
can be supplied to make up the deficiency.
It ought to be an easy matter to raise 4,000
loyal voters in Louisiana, 6,000 in Arkan
sas, and 1-5,000 in Tennessee, If Mobile
should be captured during the present
winter, enongh of Mississippi might fall
into our possession to include 7,000 loyt'
voters, and if General Bakes keeps ahead
at his present rate Texas with 6,000 votes
is not an impossibility before the coming
summer.
The New York World , in one of its
usually able articles, discussing the pro
ceedings of a tew peace Democrats in Con-
gress, remarks that " they must know that
the Democratio party can not electa resi
dent upon (heir platform.”
If their object were to prolong the war
or another ioar jeers, they coaid not
more effeetnally contribnte to its attain
ment. If they could bring the Democratic
party to their views, they wonld be the
most nsefnl allies of the abolitionists. They
will go on in spite of anything the peace
Democrats can do; and the practical
question for them to decide is whether they
prefer a war eondncted by a party that
will respect the Constitntion, to a war
eondncted by a party that makes the war a
pretext for violating its most sacred pro
visions ; whether they prefer an adminis
tration that will treat the rbeels with jas
tice and magnanimity when once they are
anbdned, to an administration that will
not stop short of wholesale confiscation
universal abolition, and negro equality’
By acting with their Democratic breth
ren, they have a reasonable chance of see
ing the abolitionists foiled and ousted ■
bat ll the Democratic party should adopt
the peace platform wa should have the
war doubled in duration and aggravated
by all the abolition atrocities. It cannot
be possible that the peace Democrats wish
to create a diversion in favor of the abo
litionists, and thus aid them in electing
the next President. But this is the plain
tendency of their course, whatever may be
its invention.”

THE PEACE DEAf OCBATS,
a'id outhe other brought only a few light
pieces into action, no more tnaa sufficient
to protect a retreat. Whatever reasons
may have compelled Gen. Bragg to aban
don the heights, the movement was not
forced pa him by the fighting, bat pre
pared and partially executed before it be*
gan. General Grant himself speaks of
the ac-ticn in tjie cunonßly qualified terms
so often employed by the federal com*
manders. He ‘ does not consider himself
premature in announcing” a victory.
He rather claims than asserts it. But
the result can hardly be disputed. Bragg
baa given up an advantageous position,
and this reverse is the penalty the confed
erates pay for missing the opportunity pre
sented to them after the battle of Chicka
maaga. The defeat of the federate was
total, yet not decisive, and time h&B re
covered for the beaten army ail it lost.
Though the Government of the Confed
eracy dot-e Dot appoint, reappoint and
dismiss its generate so lightly as the cabi
net of Washington, the Southern armies
judge their commanders very much by
results and their own opinion of
the persona! qualities of their superior
officers. The last letters of our cor
respondent at Gen. Bragg’s headquarters
described a state of feeling in the south*
ern camp that had seriously shaken the
confidence ot officers and men in their
chief. He was not “popular,” nor had
he authority enough to repress the jeal
ousies that existed between the subordinate
commanders. Tbe discipline of the west
ern army was in eveiy respect inferior to
that of the Army of Virginia, unJter
General Lee. The deterioration, moral
and material, had commenced before the
battle of Chickamaugo. The credit of
that victory was given to General Long
street, who- had been detached by Lee
with a reinforcement. That the rout ol
the federate, which equaled the panic
''d disorder of Bull Run, was not follow
■q at Longstreette earnest request
- increased the discontent ot the
ate troops, and rendered Bragg
opoputer than ever. Soldiers free
o their lives, but feel acutely when a
mander throws them away. Discon-
>t thus created is the severest trial
de discipline of an army. The feeling
that existed before the battle of Chicka
mauga has rankled and deepened through
tbe period of forced inaction in front of
a beaten enemy.
Our correspondent Uft the southern
camp with the most unfavorable impres
sions, au<l a strong conviction that the re
lations between the army and its ccmman
der had demoralized the whole tore**. He
predicted that Bragg would find his posi
tion untenable unless he fought another
battle, while he doubted the possibility of
a commander eo little assured of hearty
support making tbe bold movement the
circumstances required. His prediction
has been fully vended. Bragg has given
up the ground gained by one of the most
sanguinary engagements of the war. If
he retires a few miles further to the south,
he must re-cross the frontier of Tenocspee
into Georgia. Bjth sides have been re
ceiving reinforcements during the last Bix
weeks though no authentic Bta’ement of
the numerical s'ivogih of tbe two armieß
hftß appeared. The southern army, how
ever, seem? to b c en for some time
fatally weakened by distrust and dislike
of its commander. The moralt of the
troops cf all rantc was t-hakeD, and even
if they escape a decisive defeat in the
field, it is probable that for the confeder
ates the auiumn campaign in tb£ West
will prove disastrous.
