One year ago Hon. DanieldS. Dickin-
son, Of New York, visited Cleveland and
was visited with demonstrations Of de-
light by the Br. ck' nridge wing oI
the Democratic party Of Cleveland, a
portion Of whom are some Of the leaders
of the present Peace Party. For the
good of these gentlemen we make one or
two extracts from Union speech deliv-
cred at the Cooper institute, New York.

My war cry is "Peace. prosperity,

Dea'h and destruction to treachery and
treason everywhere. Coptinued ap-
pause. There is great and impassi
Bile gulf between fidelity and treason
as deep as that between the rich man and
Lazarus. You. peace men, fly from the
Sodom and Gomarrah of treason while
you have chance. The storm OF pub

imagine. A voice. ''That is so."l You
can no longer be in favor Of the Union,
with a dagger in your hand aimed at its
vitals. If you mean to help the govern
ment come along. Shoulder your mus
ket. Ii you do not, then shoulder your
musket and join the opposite side. We
will give you fair clearance, and play
the "Rogue's March" after you. The
great ball is open; choose your partners
and take your po>ti ons on the floor, and
we will see whether you can keep step to
the music Of the Union. Cheers and
laughter

Yonder is mother, whose son went a
few davs since, and was slain upon the
battle field. Peace men look upon her,
while the blood of her son is dripping
from your fingers. Why was her son
slain? Because You are encouraging re-
bellion and treason. And but yesterday
a young b'ide was called upon to wreath
the widows weeds with the bridal wreath
and you were the cause of that-and
why? Because you were holding out aid
and encouragement to this accursed re-
bellion. your bands are stained with the
blood of her husband. Look at that lit.
