Gov. Parker Of New Jersey, in his
message just delivered to the Legislature of
New Jersey, thus describes the kind of
peace the people want:
Fellow Citizens, is there any way con
sistent with the honor aud interests of all
to trinQ 10 an end this unnatural strife,
which is shedding the best bleod Of the
land, and eating cut our substance p
There is not good citizen in the whole
country, who does not, in his heart desire
peace There is not Christian family in
the land /, who, when the shades of evening
close around, do not in their devotions At
the family altar, pray for peace, and the
safe and speedy return Of the long absent
one There is not soldier in the North
ern or southern armies who, rs he PAGES
at night his weary round, or lays his head
upon the rude camp pillow, does not in
imagination visit tue fireside At home, aud
sigh for peace. We should not be afraid
of peace-an honorable and permanent
peace, whether it come by the exercise Of
power or BY the exercise Of Cancellation -
1t should be peace on the basis Of d" the
Union SIS it was not a Union Of States
where part are held in subjugaiion as con
quered provinces, adding nothing to the
material interests and prosperity Of the
nation, and only furnishing theatre of
action for swarms of military officials
but Union of all the States with their
" Equality and rights unimpaired." 1t
should be peace founded on the sub
mission Of all the rigltful authority of
the government, and the guarantee TO al
Of lheir constitutional rights 1v Inc &C, :
-1rment. It should be peace bringing
With it such unity, as an obedience to law
its corner stone.

MILLER says:

The Draft in this County.

IL our last paper we announced that 4
The hour Of going to pres The &" Drafting
Machine was running at tie CouT
House, and up TO that toe gave She names
Of the parsons drafted. We intended ts
continue the list ia this number, but The
nulnberless errors nl.de in the names o
the unfortunates by those who bossec
the joo,' and fearing that injustice NIGH
be done those who were not, as well q;
those who were drafted, We have conc.u
ded not to do 80. In this connection, We
will give our readers tbs following article
from late number Of the New York
W0rld:
The farce Of q enforcing the draft in
Connecticut has ended ohGrsctarissicaly.
1t will he remsmbered that all the cen
scripts ran avsv. The State mlitary au
thorities were of course very wrathy, and

runaweys, but 81 order has Just been is

uuillfylng all warrants Of arrest, aud Civ
iuy Tie dessr,ers certificates Of good char
acter."
We have told Gov. SALoAoH several
times that, from the experience Of other
states in procuring drafted men, .he draft
would prove " farce" in this county,
He would sot take our counsel, bu, has
allowed his preju1ices 20 prevail instead
of coed Judgment To prove our advice
to be true, we have only TO mention few
incidents. Of the eight men drafted in
the town of Mani,owoc, two have gone
to that bourne frora whence no traveller
retnrus," and where drafting is unknown
One Is cripple, and over 48 years of age
another is youth under II years, and
the 9th has certificate redemption from
DR.. BLooD-shs examining Surgeon.
In the town Of Franklin a blind man
has been drafted, and in the town Of Rap

Peace, forty sspen gears old, and Minus
t,o fingers cg' TIE right hard, has me, the
same fate. We could mention twenty
similar cases that have come to our inliyid-
ual knowledge, but presume tie above
facts sufficient TO prove the Draft "farce.'

Speech Of Judge Orion.

Judge ORION, of the Dane Circuit Court,
made thrilling speech before the Demo,
cratic Clubs of Madison a few evenings
since. We give the following as .peci>
men Of the whole:
After setting forth how promptly Wis
consn had responded to all calls for VOL
unleers up to July last, he proceeded to
the subject ofthe suspension Of the writ of
Aateos corpus. Suddenly call was flashed
ever the wires for 100000 more men,
With it came. orders declaring martial
law and suspending the wri. of ha5eas cor
pus. Then began "despo.ism more app
paling than has been experienced in Eu>
rope in the last 200 years" Great cheers }
We felt il; we yielded. We acauiesced
in the suspension Of all law, and in three
weeks we bad filled our quota. Blu, why
was it necessary for the Government to
reach out that iron hand and q ~ in
shis manner after our young men! II
was base incompetency and imbecility,
that made it necessary. Great cheers. }
We hadn't thought much about Fort La
Favette until those orders came like q
thunder clap, last July. There hadn't
been an arres. made in the Northern States
that could not have been made by the U.
S. Marshal in a lawful manner. II such
usurpations continued he would leave the
country-he would go TO England where
they valued the writ Of haseas corpus the
great pillar of human rights. (Cbeer.
These arrests were for reasonable prae,i-

the constitution. Treason was an overt

(Cheers.) This was what had excited par

body, then said he to his guard, GUARD,
do your duty Take these men TO the
camp Here the guard ordered the m en-
to march, but Mr.. Co,zLaussn, The attor-
ney Of tie parties, commanded them to
remain where they were. The captain
again repeated his orders to his guard, TO
take their prisoners to camp, whereupon
Commissioner Mitchell stepped to his door
closed it, and declared that the parties
should not be taken from under his protec.
tion
Just at this moment, sheriff Webster.
who had been sent for, arrived. The pa
pers committing the men to bis keeping
were placed in his hands and in the name
of Milwaukee county he claimed them.
The men still stood i,nmovable behind
the Slittering bay onets of the guard de-
putsd 10 bear them away, and the captain
still insisting on bis determination 10 keep
them in his custody. Here WAS every
prospect for conflict between the military
aud civil authority. Bu, Sheriff Webster
saw his duty clearly, and was determined
to perform it. When he saw that forci.
bic resistance WAS to bs opposed to him
he sent out for assistance, which soon ar
rived, in the shape of party Of constabes
and police officers, whereupon the valiant
captain, notwithstanding his "orders to
bring the men back to camp" concluded
that resistance would he useless, de,ermin
ed to send bis guard away, and retire
himself from the scene, provided the court
would give him q statement of TIA case
to show to the colouel. Repeatedly lie
was warned hat the wa. placing himself
in dangerous preiicamept BY thus resist
ing the process Of a civil court, he was in
formed Of the statute which declares that
any party who ska'i Tsaist any officer IN
the Discharge Of lis duty in such case,
shall be punished by imprisonment"
This did not have as much effect upon
him as the determined, business style Of
the Sheriff, who, i. was obvious, would
perform his duty, let the consequences be
what they might. Thus tie matter rests
