The use Of postage stamps for change, the
supply from the manufacturers is vi equal

requested. as far practicable, to confne

want stamps for change should take notice,

Clagett eat fer = Peace Cenvcn ON.
The people of this county will remem-
Der with what vehcmence Clagett, last
Summer, denounced Jairus +. Neal, Ma
honey, and other advocates of Peace
Convention. And even those who know
him cannot fail 10 feel some surprise that
Clagett is now advocating precisely the
same policy that he denounced Neal for last
Summer. For weeks past he has been de-
nouncing the Republican Administration
as the guilty author Of the War, and has
beer giving such encouragement to the
rebels to fight in their " righteous cause"
against encreaehments on the rights Of the
South as he dared. In yesterdays paper
he goes still farther, and insists that the
Administration shall appoint n Peace
Convention, recognizing thereby the equal
ity ofthe traitor Coniederacy, admitting
the inability of the Government to crush
the rebellion and consulting with them as
to what terms they will give us in Peace
Convention. We quote the closing par
agraph of his article, and in doing so defy
either Claget. or his friends to find any
thing in the speeches, resolutions, or ed
itoriais Of Mahoncy or Jairus Neal more
distinctly disloysl than the tone of Clsg.
ett's paper for some time past
Here is the paragraph which fttingy
closes an editorial in behalf of Peace
Convention with the traitors now in arms
against the Government
We do not mean that the war should
suddenly cease and that the United States
should withdraw its forces from the field,
but we do mean TO say that it is our cam
did opinion that some steps should be
taken by the Government to bring about
an honorable peace between tie two Sec
tons, BY the appointment Of conventions
lor this purpose. as was done in the war
between this country and Mexico If the
country was not dishonored then by such
course, We cannot sec how it can Be dis.
honored now by following that precedent.
The great Book Of books informs us that
blessed are the peace-makers.
Let our readers recall the dennnciations
Of this policy illuminated by Clagett on
the stump last Summer, when it was pro-
posed and advocated BY Mahoney and
Neal, and they may come to proper es-
innate Of Clagett's present position.
The explanation of his inconsistency is
simply this: last summer he was trying to
get a nomination for Congress on the I'm
ion ticket; this season he is working for
q nomination on the Vallandigham. Ma
honey Revised Democratic Platform
Union democrats here have desired us
not to hold the party responsible in any
way for the position and principles Of
Clagett's Constitution. They say that he
does not represent them. nor will thew
sustain him nor endorse his paper
