Most tervently do we trust there are none
such in the North If there are any they
are greatly out of place. Peace will new
err hold her court in this country until
the Government has indicated itself and
secession been BUNDLED before it. Peace
will not be achieved through the convo-
cation of men who meet to talk and con-
coct resolutions. No such procedure ever
created or built up nation, and most
surely never brought it out of he war of
rebellion. Those who would preserve the
Union must hold their lives subject to its
demand, and those who would enjoy its
blessings must also stand ready to shed
their blood for its protection This has
ever been the case, and it will ever con
tinue TO be so even down to the last day

Gov. kirKw ood's speech at Des

We make liberal extracts from the speech

As the Chief Executive of the State

been found with me- am plain man !;
and although il may not be prudent in me
as u candidate TO speak in regard to these
matters, yet propose to say some things
to you IN avery plain way. A great many
gentlemen think have not been energet-
ic enough that have not been efficient
enough; that | have not pushed forward
the work as vigorously as | should have
done. That may be true That may
have committed errors, thin. .n.s i MOI only

A report came to town Saturday even
ing that the Administration had disap-
proved the proclamation of Gen. Fremont,
and sent Gen. Meigs on to ST. Louis to
supersede him.
1t seems that such intelligence was
posted on the bulletin board of the Ire
mont House, Chicago, Friday night. We
presume the report originated by some
collector Of news for the hotel, with no
better foundation than the fact that Quar-
ter Master General Meigs has gone to st.
Louis.
The St. Louis News of Friday evening
mentions the arrival of Meigs the day be-
fore, but makes no allusion to such re
port, nor is it at all probable, for even if
the Cabinet had been so unwise as to re-
verse the policy of Gen. Fremont, they
would not have been guilty of the outrage
of superseding him by the same order, nor
would they, in any event, have been likely
to appoint Quarter Master General Megs
in his place.
Gov. Yates, Postmaster General Blair,
Gen. Hunter, Commodores Foote and
Kelly accompanied Gen. Meigs to St
Louis, and it would seem that there must
be some important object in the movement.

The USlTED STATES AND MExECo-The New York
Tribune pretends to give the details Of the papers
transmitted to the United States Senate last week
by the State Department, concerning the affair
with Mexico. Among these it says is g project OF
treaty with Merico, the provisions of which are
of such Importance that it is thought it would,
if confirmed, lead to the withdrawal of England
and France from the Spanish alliance. The treaty
according to the Tribune provides that the Federal
Government shall pay $ll 600 600 to Mexico, to be
applied to the satisfaction Of English and French
creditors, aud for grant to the United States Of
alI commercial privileges; the adjustment of out
standing debts and the right of transit across Mex
