TER NEW YORK DEMOCRACY AND rHg WAR

1t is easy to see that the Democratic leader .
IN THIS State have made up their 10 nds to
bring forward fresh compromises as s. means
OF saving the Union. This is the real motive
OF lnelr declining 10 join the kspu blicans IN
sus talnlng the war. They expect TO create a
Peace Party-that is, a party which will COM
mission the South 10 dlctate Its own conces-
sions and return TO the Union upon its own
terms.
This is perfectly apparent from the guarded
language OF their cali. They repudiate The
De nesuuiS concur bnts they also insist that
the prosecution OF the Var shall be accom-
panied By the most liberal prCfrers of peace.
ueas been known A. political circles tor some
OF the leading wire .pul!ers Of party il this
city have maintained ali active correspou-
dence with the leaders Of the rebellion ever
since the war broke out These men are now
very emphatic IN asserting that Davis & Co.
are willing TO treat for peace-that they will
accept just and reasonable terms, and that the
Union may thus be restored. Ii is mainly by
the mac hlnatlons OF these men that the demo
cratic party in this State has been led u take
It's present ground ara il their connsels are

party organized IN favor OF CUnceding 10 the
Secesslonists Whatever they may demand as
the cendltlon OF their returning 10 the Union.

tInctly and confessedly, the position of inte-

TO be distinctly teEsto0d that whenever
they become dLssa tisfied with them the South
can force US u viake such changes as they
may deem desirable.
1t is quito possible that the leaders of the
Democratic party Ill this State may be willing
10 ia lie this position for the sake of tie per-

hope 10 reap from it. But we do not believe il

MILITARY AND NAVAL MOVEMENTS.
The New York Times, very Black Repub-

Recruiting for the army here is dead
virtually dead. Tn ,ra is n rendezvous in Ce-
dar street, one in Chatham street, and one in
Hudson street--ail for the old army-and
these added but fifteen men TO the service
last week. Every recruit brings the man
who eniists him ~, and house rent, and the
support and pay ca recruiting parties, go TO
make the newly cbtal"ad soldier doub!y dear
to the Government. q .ch rs nd"zvous costs
at least 1880 mouth, and, If course, three
