about the Fourth of July Convention as fol-

In comminglng with the members, in pri-

erroneous idea Of charging the present re-

last year at the Convention. We hoped
that the year past would open their eyes,
and enable the masses Of the Democracy to
diyest themselves of the peyudice that had
taken hold of Them on this oil important
point--bnt we have been mistaken, for they

as expressive of the sentiments of n

would be a preliminary to recognition

foderate victories are the best peace,
makers. If COP will give success to
our arms in tho impending great bat

we may conclude that we have con-
quorcd a peace, at least with the land
