The Psacs rTorsment.


From the Chicago Tlnesl
The peace meeting in New York on the 80
inst, was a demOusirstion sufficiently imposing
to occupy the almost exclusive attention Of the
press of the city on the following day This
fact is simple proof of the folly of attempting 70
qussh the issues there raised by ridicule snd in
veetive. The peace party is q growing party,
and is now dominant in Connecticut, Ohio and
New Jersey. Whether Fernando Wood Gov
ernor Seymour o. Connecticut, Senator Wall,
c. l. Vsllandighsm, and hosts Of others who
believe the war to be destructive Of the purpose
for which it was commenced. are good or bad
men, one fact is indsplsbls, they are daily gain
ing adherents, and unless the Administration
discsras its radical policies and counsalors, and
secures speedily 81 cess in the 6eId, the de-
mand Of peace VIII soon be presented ia sueh
form IS to csmpel obedience
It is with this fact we have 70 deal, and It is
ahSusri TO suppose It can Be evslsd By attack
ing the motives or character Of these meu.
Fernando Wood, who is the pnuciDa, object Of
attack, has record as free from stain az that Of
the SimmOnsas, CsmeTons, Welieses and other
eI and present senators sud ex and present
Csbinept officers, who command the newspa-
pers in their interest to attack him As for the
other gentlemen who we have named, even the
partisan venom Of Abolitonism has net pre-
sumed to asssi their personal history. They
are sll bold men, practical, determined, saga
cious and Industrious They are men welding
enormous influence in shaping public senti-
ment, snd cannot be sborn Of their power save
BY arguments which shall eonvines the people
Of the fslsity snd impoiey Of the positions they
assume.
The popular judgment Is unsettled and vibra5-
ing. Il asks confirmation as to whether q ces-
sstiol ef hosEhtiss viii result in disunion, and
a continuance Of the war under existing man
sgement aud issues will restore the Union. It
cares but little whether the FIRST Of Mr.. Woods
series of propositions is correct OF not. Our
right to prosecute the war is lost sight ofin the
inquiry as to its effect The right to coeTce q
State was determined in 1885, aud, though the
decision then reached may have been, as we
believe it was, sppOsts 90 the intentions Of those
who framed tho Constitution, yet it was iusti-
fed, We think, by the letter, if not the spirit Of
that instrument as well as the circums tsuces
that demanded such decision, and mas not
since been questioned, save by the pupils Of Mr.
Calhoun.
We ask attention to Mr. Mr. Woods second
proposition:
"Au amicable adjustment Of the dispute could
have beeny and can be still, procured on terms
Of fairness aud eq uslity"
Whether this is merely an expression Of Opin-
ion on his part, based upon information common
to sll, or an assertion resting upon assurances
received from Confederate officials, is Of course
MISTER Of conf jseturs.-4tis Gsrtsjss-that he has
received such assurances, and it wo1ld~seem
fron this that they have not been withdrawn

The war, they argue, vas instituted for
the purpose of securing further guarantees
to their own peculiar 1tion-slaYery
and to repress abolitionism or Northern
aggressions on their rights. Its bearing
on the institution has been 70 weaken and

that they have been deceived BY their

/. In ordinary political contests it has here
tofore been almost impossible to secure
the election of our best men to positions
of honor and trust. The present moment,
however, is peculiarly favorable for this
purpose. There is no party question at
issue. The loyal people are banded together
by a common patriotism which sinks all
minor questions in the determination to
preserve, unimpared the Government and
Constitution of our fathers. To the ac-
complishment of this end, they require
and demand the services of the best minds
the country can afford It was, therefore,
withsthe deepest regret that read Mr..
Paxton's card decliRing to be a candidate
for Congress. Soi 10 spread Is this feel

men of all parties, aud in all quarters, that
am induced by the persuasion of friends,
and my own wishes, to insist that the
people of this district demand his services
in so explicit a manner, that he will be
unable to refuse the expressed wishes of
the people who have right in times like
the present to demand the services of any
citizen capable of rendering good service
in the common cause. To this cad let the
people of the frat district determine that
Mr.. Paxton must give the benefit of his
talents and influence in the next Congress,
If convention is held let all the counties
of the district unite in securing his nomi-
nation. If there is no convention let us
rally at the polls and secure his election.
In either event, however modest and un.
aspiring he may be, he would net feel at
liberty to decline, and West Virginia will
have thus secured representative ofwhom
she may well be proud lone in whose hands
her interests will suffer no wrong, and
whose influence will be all powerful in her
behalf. FIRST D1srRIcr.
