Tho "Pcace'' fesolu' ions Of: Mr. Ho1sman
came up in the New Jersey Senate yesterday,
on motion for their reference to u special
committee, which, nfter an earnest debate, nas>
negatived. Senator Chandler (Democra.,) J Of
Morris county, favored the Indefinite post
.ponement ct the propositions, saying, une-
qu1Tocal1y, that the s. Conservative sentiment
was too strong to allow resolutions Of that
character to be passed." He had come from
L. sick bed. to oppose them, and he Was willing,

Of his course. Mr. Chandler is Democrat Of
undoubted standing, and is probably the
ablest member On tie Democratic side Of the
Senate. His opposition to the Peace pro-
gramme Of the party leader has naturally
caused great indignation among the faithful,

that they will altogether fill, aud tha. Mr.

Ffeedom Of "a c Press.

A short while ago the office ofthe Keo-
kuk "Co;5S1ifution" was mobbed by a
number Of conyalescent soldiers who We're
a: the hospital Of that place. Some sold
iers arrived and put stop to the proceed
ings; but not till they had accomplished
their purpose. This is freedom Of the
press.-Shmisbugh Local.
Scores of Anti-Slavery paper have been
demolished, North as well as South, and
thai, too, was Jreedom Of the press" as
the Shullsburg paper calls it. Oar opin-
ion is, there never was any ''freedom of the
press" exhibited BY destroying news paper
offices. We suppose that stage of retri-
Lutiye conduct has come over the country
to offset what was done years ago to de-
stroy the arli-slavery press of the country.
Better, we think, to deal lawfully toward
these Copperhead news offices, by trying
the proprietors for aiding treason. Anti
Slavery men were formerly cast into prison
for their opinions and expressions, held for
a long time, then released without trial or
given over to the mob. This is done with;
still, retributive change Of public sentiment
demands we suppose that the books be
squareL by alike conduct toward the pro
slavery or treason side. Heavens retribu-
tive justice is right, and as certain as right.
But men should not attempt to work an
engine so liable 10 run off the track. Re
tribution belongs to God, not men. The
times furnish much to excuse this retrihI-
tive conduct; the Country has terrible
war on its hands; northern sympathy with
the enemy must account greatly for the de-
siruction of loyal lives, So that northern
men very naturally wish 10 suppress the to-
ry press which utteFs, not bullets directly,
bit what is worse, CALLING fire Of discon-
tent, falsehood and disafection toward those
who are offering their lives for their coun-
try. Tories and the tory press were
promptly suppressed in the time of the
Revolution. Washington sent out squads
Of man to capture, shoot ana imprison the
tories. JEFF Davis is dealing the same way
with union men who oppose The rebel
course. The tory press ofthe North wish
10 be made an exception 10 the universal
practice Of the war; they want 10 be let
alone, and claim the constitutional privi-
lege TO speak in favor Of the enemy for
whom they are too cowardly to go and
fight They claim protection under that
Constitution and Government while they
work their destruction--Iike as If man
should jointly occupy house wi,h you,
he fire the house, then ask you TO pro-
tect his family and property from the
deyouring flames. We would not deal
with such man by moi, but by lawful
trial and severe penalties. Tories in open
arms should be shot, while unarmed ones
should be tried and, if guilty, hung or sent
to prison. Future public opinion will
prove a terrible scourge to the tories, SC
that we would wish them long life and the
damning disgrace which followed Benedict
Arnold TO old age.
