TIE delegates 70 be chosen arc required TO
Give their adherence to resolutions, whose sub

> VINO believe that the vigorous prosecution
OF the war should be accompanied by the most
Ibsssl p~rof5Ts Of peace.
2 VINO seek the restoration OF the UnionI
nv extep3i7g equal Justice to all the States.
VINO regard no var or peace ss detensl-
be, which is based upon the idea OF the utIl-
mate separation Of the Safes
. VINO. while willing to oppose to secession
all the resources of the countTT5 consider sec
tionsIism At tho Worth as z pregnant source OF
the evils that aflict the country and demand
that PUB, C af .us shall be conducted hence
forth upon broader principles Of cO8stltullohal
duty aud patriotism
8 ana who gree that justice to sol
diers and tax payers, req1ices the lmme-
date institution Of A more rigid aamlnlsLId-
ton Of EXPENDITURES, and the expulsion OF cor
rupt men from office.
Now it is not only proper, but it is n%ecessa-
ry, that the South should not be deluded by any
erroneous idea ia regard to the meaning Oh
these ouuaingly devised phrases Of mingled
Cancellation and coercion. We unhtsitatingiy
pronounce the platform a sheer cheat-em-
bodyiaE principles that are as antagonisde to
each other az peace and war themselves
Indsed the explanatory comments OF the
Argus, if any new Hght were needed for is
fail understanding, leave Us no ground for DIFF
ference about the matter. In the first place,
It is evident that the Peace Party have been
forced to repudiate all thought OF assuming any
position based upon the idea Of tie ultimate
separation = Of the two sections result TO
which the .frgEs does Bot scruPle to assert that
it is " utterly opposed" sBdthst the State com
nj tee, in iHsis' ing upon that point, shave
only rs-eehoed the popular sentiment"
In the second place, the right CT the South
to follow, the example SGT them by the fathers Of
the old republic in offering resistance to tyran-
Nv bv force Of arms, under any circumstances,
seems MT TO bs adui teG-fhus denying tie
great central idea OF republican liberty, thst
all government is derived from TIE consent Of
the governed. Any edorto on our partto redress
such grievances with the bsyonet as The abe
l~itioais's have psrsistently refused to redress
By the ballot, is to be opposed By call the
resources Of the country"
Thirdly: S6ould "Iberal proFsrs Of peace -
be refused-profsrs whose acceptance BY the
South would forever disgrace and vassaiizs
her, the Peace P arty are for "the vig0roas
praseealion o. The Uar.o The conflict now rag
Ing between toe Nsrth ana the South, says our
commentator Of the .dTgus, is al "swful exist
ing reality" Bat, says he, " how should 1t be
me-? By running away from it? Tie inter
est and The manfred Of he people Of the loyal
States alike forbid this. The government,
whose existence is a~ssaijel, is ours-estab-
Iished for our protection, and that Of our prop.
erty, our wives and chiIdren-ani, God helping
US, we will stand By it against all comers, and
It's dag shall continue 70 wave over US and our
descendants. We accept in is foil aud terri
be sign fcance, the declaration Of the State
committee, that there must be a "vigoroas
prosecution Of the Urr.' Without" this there
can he no peace, which will not be huniliat-
ing, OF which will be permanent"
Such is the proisssed sttitud Of the mem
bers Of that parts ia the Nor b, with some
few exceptions, which is struggling VaiDly
against the destruction Of their " liberties,
now being crushed out by the iron beel Of a
ruthless dsspctism. Our readers will agree
with US, that 50 far as the South is concerned,
it were as well that these men should rank
foremost among tie most blatant advocates
Of LrNooLA's usurpatOns. The Confederate
States Will never SO far 5bdicate their man
hood as o consider, for one moment, any terms
Of peace not involving total and irrsvocable
separation from a psstiIsns an2 degraded race
Of wrstehss, who, 20 the irfnits amusement
of foreign nations, are seFvilely licking the
rod Of the tyrant who opPresses th N.
This much 'hen being understood, that con-
tingeHcy is fulfilled upon the happening Of
which be Peace Party is pledged 70 "the vigO-
rous prosecution OF the war'-a cemPreben-
sivs phrase Implying submission to taxation,
violations CT o., Constitution and all else that
the minious n Tie Black Republican BoMBA
could desire.
