John VanBuren sai.l iu his recent New
York speech:
We have already. as l have stated to
you, carried on tbi war at this frigh,ful
loss Of human life ana this great destruction
OF property; w have come 10 a state OF
thing when the widowed mother calls up
on you TO stop at the fret honorable point:
when the wife, whose husband goes out to
battle for the Union aud the CoDstitu ution;
when the sister who finds no brother CON-
ing home; when the Sctrothed, who parts
from her future lord ami master, dedicates
him to the service of his country; when
the bride. who separates from her groom
at the church door 10 go forth to battle
all appeal to you not to stop the war dis
honorably. With firm lips they tell you
TO go forward as long as honor and justice
require it, but when you come to a point
where peace can be properly made, thea to
make it. And At shs time and in this
condition Of the country, we are asked TO
disband the Democratic party.
People who are making none but politi-
cal appointments. who are turning Demo
Gratis cut OF custom houses ant. all the va
rior, ofices in the United States, invite us

We propose to stop stealing for ninety
days and have the money. raised by tax
alton, applied TO pay the soldiers, to feed
support their families while they are in the
field. j want that tried for Just ninety
days, for these contractors, who have stolen
all they could lay their hands on, could
last fer over ninety days. whilst We carried
on ihe war with the money. 1t strikes me

a termination before the Presidents proc
lamation could take effect

publican party, and the political sharks
that follow in It's wake, to devour what
they throw overheard. We propose ii we
