PEACE MEN.

profess to be peace men. Are they peace
men in reality? We think not, except
upon one condition, and that is, that the
Confederate constitution be adopted by
the Northern States. They clamor for
peace and are disposed, so far as we can
learn, to take whatever the rebels may
offer them, while they we'll know that
the rebels will have no peace, only as We
conquer one, that docs no. recognize the
independence Of the rebels. They also
claim that they are opposed to any divis-
ion Of the Union. The only inference
that can be drawn from their course is
that they desire the success Of the re-
bellion. Tie late arrest Of traitors in
Ohio, an account of which will be found
on our first page, shows that many Of
the "peace men" are willing to fight for
the success Of the rebels. That we
have men in this State and even in this
county, who are ready to act in such a
conspiracy is evident to US. Who they
are we do not undertake to say, but we
regret to know that there are many good
men who have been Influenced SO as to
act with them. The peace men are such,
only for the destruction Of the Govern.

thrown monarchy is to be established.
There has been an abundance Of proof
given to show that the leading rebels
designed to establish monarchy, and
recently, while travelling with Gen. Pratt,
rebel, when he was being takent to
New Orleans as a prisoner, we heard him
say that "our Government had been but
"an experiment and it had turned out

ion would have broken out in case Mr..
Douglas had been elected instead of Mr..
Lincoln, he said sit might have put it
"off four years" His whole CONVERSE
ton was to show that it was not from
any fear that their slaves would be med.
died with, that they rebelIed, but because
they were dissatisfied with our form of
government. We are convinced from
what We heard and saw, that the mass of
tho people at the South are becoming
satisfied that they have been deceived by
their leaders, and that they long for the
re-establishment Of the old government
Wo hope that the peace men of the
North will be willing to receive them
even if they come without arms in their
hands.
