Great Rally of the "Peace Party"
in Concord Tp.--Choice Extracts
from their Speeches.-They "Catch
a Tartar"
Mr.. EDIToR:-There was a great so.
called Democratic display at the School
House in Sugar Tree Ridge on the 18th
inst, consisting of the Dems. of Con-
cord, Newmarket, Hamer, Washington
and Whiteoak Townships, and part of
Brown County; all were handsomely
seated, together with two or three I'm
ion men, one small School House.
The official proceedings were gone
through with before we entered the hall.
A committee had been appointed-we
know not the purpose. We asked B.
that sat near, but he refused to give in
formation, saying he did not know
Mr.. Kinzer of Brown Co., was introduce
ed, and as is usual on such occasions,
began a discourse Of seuse and non
sense, on the Administration. He
said, he "believed that old Scahap would
not interfere with slavery, but he was
mistaken" "If it had been the object
of this war to put down the Rebellion,
it could have been done in 90 days.
He said, "toe (Dcmocrats) aocked to the
standard" " but we have not learned that
they ever did, knowing that there are
Union men in the Army to Democrat,
and the election this fall will prove it. .
Mr. K. also said, "the Republicans new
er wanted this Union restored; they
want to tear down the Stars and Stripes
and institute a flag with 16 stars

South did not make the FIRST start at Sc
cession," "They (the Administration

pie stood that, then all the Democratic
papers would be suppressed" "If the
people had raised en- n1asse Vallandig-
ham would have been released" He
then said, you want a military des-
potism then submit to Abolition reign
| He said, "there was no such thing as
a United StateS.' Perhaps he desires it
but we can inform him that there is a
United States, and "by the Eternal" il
shall be maintained, desp pite all the op
position both North and South.
He alss said, "The Conscript Law wa,
unconstitutional, it can't be otherwise,
but he did not attempt to prove the as.
sertiOn. "Why should we submit2'--
> Because if you rebel against it you show
T. the white feather, and bring to light
c that principle that exists ia your dark
and benighted hearts.
Having given few of the most prem
inent extracts in Mr.. Ks speech, VI,
