PEACE MEETINGS.

Need we repeat that all meetings called u2der
the white flag Of Peace at this tine, when the
Government is preparing for decisive blow at
rebels and traitors, when the vast majority Of
the people are seriously and calmly bent upos
restoring the integrity of the Republic and estas-
fishing the idea of constitutional liberty through
out the world, mean nothing less than acquies-
cence in the wicked heresy of Secession' They
insult the reason, the pride, the manhood OF an
overwhelming majority. They as richly deserve
the peaceful rebuke that can always be admins
tered by majority, as the spy in camp deserves
60 be shot down. The uufurling OF the white
Dag at the North is of kind in motive with
its introduction into our military lines at the
South. Whenever the Rebels suspect an import
ant movement against them, whenever they be-
lieye that justice is Fastening to oTertake them,
they use the emblem of amty to conduct them
into new positions of successful resistance.
Whenever the political hacks are made conscious
cf peculiar danger of q great peoples uuanImi-
ty, whenever they feel great loyalty and great
tath in the air, it is in the sleeps clothing Of
the peacenaker they try to steal away the con-
sciences of men ana work their own wretched
schemes.

Everything indicates that stirring news is to be

thing all may be certain, however-that the Ma

equal TO the emergency.
