if they have any, before the people, and exac'
and unconditional justice shall be done them
If the North, with perfect unanimity, will pro-
claim this doctrine, it will do more to restore
peace to the Country than an army OF nifty
thousand men. If the people of the North
South, East or West, have grievances, let them
be redressed, but for Heavens sake let us have
no more compromises, for they have been our
bane.
If compromise should be proposed, as no
doubt it will be, and the pcwter-faced Demo-
Gratis and Lnsey Woolsey Republicans show
the white feather, we shall be divided, tho
South encouraged, and We, in the end, be
"routed, horse, foot and dragoons.'
Let us agree to require of these rebels uncon-
ditional subm sson first, and a redress OF
grievances afterwards No doubt when we
come to inquire as to their grievances, we shall
quarrel, but we can then settle our difficulties
without giving aid and comfort to armed rebels,
by our divisions. S. s. BROWN

There have been no military movements

The ENCANPMENT OF THE SECOND REGIMENT. -
Bat little of Importance transpred at Camp
underwood yesterday, the day being spent
entirely in the routine of army duties. The
dress parade at E 80 p M. was very we'll exc,
cutcd, considering the slight experience some of
the companies have had in the manual of arms,
and the entire absence of uniforms and muskets.
Captain Henry Whiting has received his
commission as Colonel, and will take command
of the Regiment to- morrow.
At nine O'Clock this morning the Regiment
will be mustered into the U. S. service by Col.
Rains.
Company A, of Bennington, Captain Wal
bridge, have the right of the regiment, (the
post Of honor.)
Adiutant General Baxter Is in town, and is
exceedingly active in the discharge of his labo-
rious duties He has quarters at the 9 Amer-
can ID. Times.

State Convention.

Just now the newspapers OF this State are
considerably excited by the call for State Con
vention from the Republican State Committee.
The Democratic papers generally treat it as a
no-party call, and propose to consider themselves
as invited to act in the Convention and rs a
consequence, we suppose, to be entitled to a
portion of the Offices
What the precise object of the Committee
was in framing the call as they did, we are not
advised. If they meant simply that all persons
who substantially agree with Republicans in
National and State policy should be allowed to
have voice in the Convention, and, by not ma
king distinctive party call, to smooth the way
for them to act with Republicans, the call is we'll
enough But if they meant by it that Republi-
cansm was to be dropped as a garm which
had served its purpose, and was no longer ne
cessary, We must say very decidedly that the
call is not well enough
10 our mind there is just as much need of u
Republican party to-day as there has been any
time since its organization. The principles of
the Democracy and the principles of Repub-
licans are as antagonistic now as before the war.
These principles will not mix. However the
men whe hold them may temporarily unite on
any National war policy, the politics of the men
will show themselves at every convenient oppor-
tunity. A Democrat to-day holds the same
views on all matters not connected directly with
the warIthat he did last November. He sup
ports the Government to be sure, but that is his
duty and we cannot think that he needs, or
seeks any reward for this. If he pu is price
upon his patriotism, it is pretty sure proof that
the quality is not worth purchasing. And
while we rejoice to see such men as Gen. Butler
put in places in which they are making for
themselves national and enduring fame, we
can but deprecate any movement looking like
making the politics of such men the policy Of
the country. We hope no evil will result from
the apparent putting aside of Republicanism in
the call for the State Convention to be holden
here on the Goth inst We have no fears that
the fundamental ideas upon which Republican
ism is based can be in any way overrdden in
Vermont, but we are seriously apprehensive
that grave difficulties will arise out of this at
tempt to mix parties in this State.

RETALIArIoN.- New York Post is of the
opinion that if the Rebels attempt to make the
war cruel and pratcal one our Government
will not shoatho the sword till Slavery is ex-

decent men, very good if like beasts, their
slaves will be let loose upon them.

for the people and their great cause of human
progress and prosperity they cannot find a
word. The community at largs-those whose
interests are directly at stake-have no organs
through which their sentiments may be known,
except the ballot boxes, and those for the pre-
sent, unfortunately, are closed against them.
If the papers and politicians of all stripes and
compilations would forego for time the dis
cussion of the ridiculous and nonsensical doc
trines contained in the various party platforms,
and turn their attention to advocating the
policy Of bringing the questions which now
agitate the country before the people for their
decision, the whole matter could be settled
satisfactorily to all sections in thirty days. Let
the people be permitted to speak, and the trou-
BILE will vanish

The PARTISAN PArERs AND TIN CRrsrs.-The
political journals Of the country have become
so absorbed In the practice Of abusing each
other Of opposite politics that 1t seems impos-
sible for them to understand the true position
in which the Union has been brought by the
political leaders. They do not seem to know
that the nation is drifting into certain and rre-
trievable ruin and that while they are splitting
hairs over some question Of minor Importance,
or quarrclng about political distractions which
can be Of no possible advantage to either side,
the Union Is going to pieces. Their eyes seem
closed to these facts, while, on the score Of
abuse, they are alive and active. They are
ready enough 20 speak for the politicians, but

STONE PIERs-We are glad to perceive that
the Board of Aldermen have taken the sugges-
ton Of the City Inspector with reference to the
construction Of stone piers at our wharves In
place Of the present dilapidated wooden struc.
lures, which are a disgrace to the city. With
the finest water front Of any port in the world,
the wharfage accommodation Of New York has
been always miserable and unsuited to the
wants Of great commercial city like this.
Moreover, the timber piers have really cost
more to keep them in repair than would cover
the expense Of building good stone piers, which
would be permanent, easily kept in order, and
might be sometimes clean, as the present ones
never are. The Aldermen resolved to apply
to the Legislature for authority to construct
stone piers, and We trust that their application
will be attended to.
