GUILTY OF TREAsoN.-The Republicans
call all who desire peace secessioniSts
and traitors; and the Administration,
with that libcrnlity and Republican free
dom for which it so strenuOusly contend
ed, has interdicted the holding of peace
meetings, and instructed its followers to
interrupt and "suppress" them. Peace
would put an end to infamous contracts,
arrest swindling operations, and throw an
army Of favorites, now supported by Gov
eminent, out Of employment. 1t would
be the death-belI Of the Republican party.
Thousands Of political mendicants, of the
/" Republican persuasion" are enriching
themselves out of the troubles of the
country. and they are loudest and fercest
and meanest in denouncing the advocates
Of peace. It is singular fact that those
who are constantly railing at secesSionists
and Boosting Of their patriotism and their
willingness to light and die" for the
stars and stripes, persistently refuse to
volunteer. Our city is full of just such
characters He who differs in opinion
from them and deprecntes the war, they
charitably say is "guiIty OF treasoni"

The DENoCRAT thinks IL rather hard that con-

"unholy war" which it is waging, without be-
ing stiguiutized as " traitors. '-RcPUtiicdn.
Our terribly ferOcious neighbor Of the
Republican, who talks so glibly "Of the
dungeon and the gallows," and childishly
attempts to intimidate and terrify the OPP

make them dangle from the other, either
ignorantly or designedly-and we have
too much respect for his intelligence to
believe ignorantly -confOunds the Id

Government itself: They are separate
and distinct. When Mr.. Lincoln opposed
the war with Mexico, did he oppose the
Government or Folks Administration !!

he ought to be driven from Washington,

WAR OF DIFFERENTIATION. The Quincy
(IllinOis) Wing recommends a war of OK.

is published and circulates largely in the
Presidents own State. and doubtless ex-
presses the real sentiments of the Repub-

the sentiments and purposes of the Re-
publican party, the South is doomed, and
no propositions for peace will be enter
tanned by the Administration. II remains
to be seen whether the people of our once
happy and prosperous Union will approve
of war until not q stakeholder is left
above ground" Let it be once known
that this is the settled determination of
the Administration, and it will no longer
receive the sympathy and support of the
patriotic masses, who are now fighting for
the " Constitution and the Union"

New York Fire ZOuaves, 800 in all, have
returned TO New York, and are now
abused for their cOwardice at Bull Run by
some Of the very papers which at first ex-
allied them to the skies. The New York
WerM says that the "Zouaves passed
through the densely crowded streets in
silence. broken only by few feeble cheers,
bestowed upon them in pity BY personal
frienda" They were treated thus dis
gracefully because they refused to volun-
teer for three years.

The Process Of Drafting.

1t is not improble that before the war
closes drafting will have to be reSorted to
in oCdcr to get the States to furnish their
fsH complement Of men to meet the requi'
sition of the War Department. The Gov
ernor of Pennsylvania, we see by the
Philadelphia Inquirer, has already had to
resort to drafting. The following article,
which we take from the San Francisco
Monitor, explains the process of drafting:
In view Of the fact that if the present war
continues for any length Of time, the drafting
or cnnscriptinn process may be brought into
re0nisitinn, the law On the subject AS TO the
parties liable thereto. will be found interesting.
The old law Of the United States allows the
President u call out volunteers. and these fail
ing To reach the required number, To order
draft.
In the event Of the volunteer force failing,
and a draft being made. the regular State mill.
tia are first liable When the State militia fail
to supplv the required number, then the able
bodied males residing IN the regimental dis
trcts between the ages Of eighteen and forty
five, are able 10 be drawn. When such
draft is ordered all miles thus residing are
compelled Ia enroll themselves, the enrolment
list i then filed lin cities lin the County Clerks
office On the day appointed, the Mayor or
Supervisor Of the ward, in presence Of the reg
iR.eHtal commanders af the district, draws by
lot from the list a number Of names. in accord
ance with the number called for by the draft.
On the day appointed, any male thus drawn
may provide an able-b"died man as q substi-
tutc, who is then taken in hiS,stead. No per.
Suns If the re luired age are exempt from this
drafting, except cergymen and those incapaci-
tated bv reason Of bodily ailments.
The old militia law Of the United States,
passed in 1872, exemptS the Vice President,
judicial aud executive officers, members If
Congress Custom house officials, post officers
and officials connected with the mail service,
inspectors of exports, pilots and mariners in
acIunl service.

PEACE. President Lincoln is TRADING

sonable" sentiments, according to Repub-
lican authority. In his proclamation for
a public fast, he used this significant Ian
guage:
"For blessings nn our arms aud Q speedy

Now, why is it patriotic for the Presi-
dent to pray for speedy restoration Of
PEACE" and criminal in us to advocate
the same thing! If it be mischievous and
dangerous and reasonable in us, withou,
authority. influence or power. to pray for
peace, how much more criminal is Il In

, Dourlas On The War

The Republicans, who Indignantly viii
lifted and prosecuted Judge Douglas while
living, aud shed crocodile tears at his
death, have the meanness to assert were
h. living. he would be found in theY
ranks. What Douglas said in the Senate,
when he commended that LincOln'S lnan
gural meant Peace, We thought and still
think were his true sentiments. The Re-
puhlicanS and some Of his pretended
friends, while protesting to venerate his
memory, are trying to prove him an in
consistent politician and an unreliable
statesman. We must be excused from
" following in their footsteps" If Doug
las had lived he would have opposed Re-
publcanism to the bitter end. and not as
sisted to build it up at the expense of the
Democratic party, as some Of his follow
ers are doing, who endorse all the acts Of
the administration. He would not have
approved Lincoln's war policy, because
he was devoted friend of the Union, and
stated cmphntically that
~ don't see how II man can claim to be a
friend u the Ghion, and yet be in tGror Of l0',r
upon ten millions uf people in The Union. You
cannot cover it up much longer under pretext
Of love for the Union.
"WAR IS DIsuNIoS; CERTAIN, INEVITABLE,
FINAL AND IRREPARABLE.

leve, that ".wAR Is DIsrNI0N"-aS Doug.

portion oflhe Republican party, who are

e believe that the South cannot bc con-
q1ered-D0uglas said it could not be con-

Government drifting in that direction !?
We believc-and the admissions Of lead
ing and influential Republicans justify the
bclicf-that if the Republican members
Of Congress had been as patriotic and lib
eral aud conciIiat"ry as they were sec
tionsl and selfish and bigotcd, this unnat.
