THE PEACE PARTY.

!. The Peace Party is essentially sectional
party. 1t is found. only in the North, and
numbers in its ranks only men who arc
saved from open treason by cowardice. Il
would be amusing, if it were not infamous,
to hear these men talk. Their howls for
Peace" are directed only to the Govern
ment, or to the men who are standing up
for the defence of the Union and the insti-
tutions left US by our fathers, and the
property acquired by the joint treasure of
the nation. To the traitors and thieves,
whose bayonets are directed at the life of
the Government and the Union, aud who
are rioting on the property stolen from the
loyal citizens, they make no appeals-they
speak of them in the most gingerly man
ner, as "our own countrymen," our
dear BRETHREN" sour friends," &c. These
discreet traitors ignore the fact that this
war was not commenced by the Govern
ment, or by loyal men: they close their
eyes to the fact that the Government is
standing only upon the defensive-defend-
ing loyal citizens, and the institutions,
rights, and property con6ded to its keeping
by the people; and that it has no choice
but to continue to defend them, if need be,
to the last drop of blood and the last dollar
of treasure it can command. If the Gov
|ernment should do otherwise, if it should
abandon, or prepare to abandon, one single
loyal citizen, or one single inch Of the
territory of the Union, or one single dollar
Of the property which the rebels have
seized, it would itself be recreant and
traitorous, and its administrators would
deserve the halter as richly as any traitors
now in arms for its overthrow. It is not |
tor the administrators of the Government.
or for loyal men, to make peace, to talk of
it, or even to think of it. Their duty is
plain, simple, unmistakable. 1t is to stand
and defend whilst single traitor assails.
To defend the national life, to vindicate the
majesty of the law. If peace is desired by
any one, let him address his appeals to the
disturbers of the peace--to those who com.
menced the war, and who are still waginp
ir. To them, such appeals would be sensi-
bic and proper. They can make peace
whenever they desire, by simply laying
1own their arms, and yielding up their ring
leaders to the punishment which their
crimes merit: the John Brown dungeon
Ind the John Brown halter. If they will
lot do so freely and of their own accord,
he Government has but one course to
pursue, and that is to compel them to doit,
ven if in so doing it should have to
laughter the last rebel of them, includ-
og their cowardly Northern allies, now ]
lamoring for peace, and whose prayers are q
or the humiliation and overthrow of the !
American Government, and the permanent
ishonoring Of our Flag. At any cost of :
reasure and blood this rebellion must be h
ut down, and its instigators punished. a
his is the sentiment Of every patriotic
american. He is but mean and miser-
bic traitor who thinks or talks otherwise.

The War.

We have to fellcate the country this morning upon

where victory much needed to strike terror into
the ranks Of the conspirators and tories and to give

has been shown there will be large accessons To

that any serious injury will be done any end gained
