In these qualities the Hon. DeA . go : p,,'

Quaker, would hardly be more int. ''ss'
subject to the philosopher. In the Daily A's
Of yesterday, he undertakes to lecture Il
HERALD, and to eniighten us in regard to u
peace democracy Cor copperheads) and u
Tmmany democracy, and the Kentucky ele
ton. We must say to him what the school,
master said to the intractable boy:-"Your cas-
calls for little hickory oil, sir, and you sha;
have it.n
The honorable Ben tells us that the ticke
which we have said was recently endorse
by the people Of Kentucky was not the tickd
endorsed by them, but by General Burnsidi
"a Haynau for the administration" and th.
this ticket, Gas all the world knows, is n
ticket approved by the Tribune" But wht,
says Greeley? He says:-'Mind that we a
not claim the successful candidates in Kentuckl
as republicans, emancipationists or Lincolnite
They are good way ahead of any considerably
p party in Kentucky when the war broke out
but they are not republicans" Greeley tell
us what they are not; but we tell what they arr
in describing them as good conservative nj
tional men, pledged to the suppression Of tn
reb ellion, but nothing less, and to the restore
ton of the Union, and nothing more.
Kentucky, as the representative of the borde
| slave States, stands now on the identical wa
and Union platform upon which Governor Sey
mour was elected, and upon which Pennsylvsl
MIA, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois last autumn rel
tary blunders of the administration. The del
feated party in Kentucky, claimed by the Hon
Ben Wood as the peace democracy, are the SCI
cession war democracy, and their vote woulf
have been heavier but for the soldiers drawn
| from their ranks to fight in the ranks of ths
rebel army. Thus much for Kentucky. It il
| enough to show the ignorance or hypocrisy oI
the Hon. Ben Wood upon this branch Of our
| subject sesir
But with regard to the HERALD as the organ
Of the Tammany Hall democracy, and in re-
ference to Tammany itself, he warns and
threatens that "Tammany must unite its for
tunes with the peace democracy, or unite with
l Al - r. g.
not repudiate the war the democracy will
repudiatc Tammany." This is the height Of
| impudence. II was but short time ago that
this democratic dictator of the Ne,os shut up
shop and fed from his post like cowardly do
serter to Canada. His shop remained shut up,
while the HERALD through the breakers waA
| plotting the way to the great New York CON
servative victory Of last November, upon the
| swelling tide Of which the Hon. Bon Wood and
a considerable amount Of other drift wers
borne along into Office.
And yet this is the Warwick or rather the
peaccwick, who assumes to instruct the HERALD
and to dictate his conditions Of peace with the
war democracy; who calls for "clean ticket;"
who is opposed to afIlliation with any men
who afaliate with anybody or anything for thu
sake Of the spoils." Well done for the honora-
bic Ben. Excepting sermon from o Peter
Funk on the text that "honesty-4, IL, 44-ia
the best policy" could anything be more anus
ing! Surely all this folly, stupidity and impu.
dence cannot be intended to cover the dark do
J signs of reckless conspirator. Can il be that
the peace with the rebels which the Hon. Ben
Wood 80 Justify breaches means war at our
own doors! We think be can hardly be inflated
to the dimensions of q Cataline, and so in
Christian charity we 'swrite him down an ass"
