especially blessed in their results.
The committee will be advised of the nature

The Obiects Of the War.

The following petition to Congress from
the New York Republican Central Club,
says the New York Tribune Of the 2nd in
slant, was adopted at the last meeting:
Whereas, Ever since the establishment
Of our Government, Slavery has been a
constant source Of disturbance and crime ;
and whereas we believe that the present
conflict will prove to be irropressible so
long as Slavery exists, inasmuch ct it is
the sole cause of the present war and con-.
sequently will generate future war: and
whereas we believe it is the duty Of Con.
gress to resort to every Constitutional
method OF SAVING the nation and future
generations from the enormous debt and
loss Of life with which we are now threat
ened therefore be it
hcS0lUcd, That we believe that a larco
majority Of the people Of the North will
faithfully sustain those members of Con,
gress who vote for improving the present
constitutional opportunity Of delivering
the nation from the great curse Of Slave
ry. And in view Of the formidable oppo.
sition and awful loss of life at Manassas
Junction,we hereby petition Congress not
TO leave Washington until they stall have
either passed in substance the proposed
law of the Hon. Seth c. Pomoroy, for the
suppression Of the shareholders rebellion
Oy oOollshing Slavery in the seeded
states amended, if thought best. by com.
pcnsating the Union shareholders out OF
the couiiscated property of the rebels, or
abolish the Fugitive Slave Law as per-
tains to said seeded States,
RcSohci, That copies Of the foregoing
be transmitted by our Secretary to the
President of the Senate and Speaker of
the house Of Representative, with the
request that they be read in both Houses
Of Congress.
This is high authority. The Central
Republican Club OF the great city of New
York, is something more than the empty

the motives and purposes entertained by
the New YORK. journal Of Commerce, in
urging peace policy upon public oonsid-
Grafton, that paper has tue following:
Ave prefer not 10 lie misunderstood
respecting our wish for peace. We desire
peace only upon terms ofiustice aad hon-
or TO both parties. While we would not
submit to dIshonorable propositions from
the Confederate States, we would require
of them no humiliating terms. The great
est good Of the people Of the whole couu-
try Is what should be sought-what must
10 the motive of honorable men, if the
the war is ever TO cease. 1t mVst one dDv
cease, for it Is not in the power OF human
endurance TO bear its evils tlrough all
time, 10 us it seems scarcely WOsth
while to prOlong the war for the purpose
Of proving which side can stand the great
est inllicllon Of human torture and pecu-
MARY suffering. We are, however, per-
tectIy aware that upon any plns which
might be submitted for the restoration of,
peace, there will be diilcrcHt opinions and .
conflicting views. OF this we do not com /
plain. lis against the action and policy (
o: those who oppose peace o. any terms, .
ami whose efforts me directed TO stirring +.
up the angry passions Of the people 10 a .
war OF Vengeance and auuib.iaiiun, that
we protest, and shall couDnu- to rotesi, /
with great respect for the opinions Off
o.hsrs, but yet ith ail the ability with /
which n conviction Of ri ht may inspire .
