A Peace Democrat Is one who believes
in che doctrine of State rights as interpret
ed at the South-thst is, the Southern
States have rights, while Northern States
have none South Carolina has a right to
imprison citizens Of Massachusetts,, but
Massachusetts, has no rightto demonstrate.
A Southern State has a right to array her
citizens in arms against the Government
Of the United States, but a Northern
State may not call on her sons to defend
il.
He believes in the rights of man, but
the most sacred Of those rights, indeed
the only one worth mentioning, Is the
right to take from other men their rights.
He believes in maintaining the Consti-
tuition as it is interpreted by rebels IN
arms to destroy 1t.
BE believes all men to be equal, before
the laE-especislly, he believes the poor
man to be the equal Of the rich man. the
laborer 10 be IS good as the capitalist,
yet he actively and cordially sympathizes
with those who deluge his country IN
blood, because they are too good gen
tlsmen TO submit to the election Of a raj
splitter.
He believes the Democratic party have
. divine right to govern the country
whether It has g majority Of votes or not
and he is convinced that the question.
which is the democratic" party Of the
country at the present crisis, is absolutely
determined by the name which itself hat
assumed. Call q horse " Spry," aud yor
can safely bet upon him for speed
He calls it fair play to go to an cleo
ton, snd refuses to abide by its clear re
suit. He likes the views Of a two hste'
countrymsn Of Rob Roy, who played card
with some Hebrews and lost his money
BE at once seized the "pile" and shoOl
his fist at his fellow gamblers, saying
HDom me, ye are all enemies Of on
Lord"
BE thinks the United States have arigh
to steal Cuba, and no right to prevent Ken
lucky from being stolen from US.
These several points Of belief show Of
what a solid basis of consistent intelli
eence the faith Of the Peace DemOcra
rests.-Boston Transcript.

Tender l1ercies Of the Rebels.

Acorrespondent of the New York Even
ing Post, writing from Leavenworlh, Kan
sas, tells this illustrative instance Of rebel
cruelty;
GTel the Copperhead journals this lit
lie story, had from an eyewitness Of the
scene, now in ST. Joseph. AT little Rock,
in Arkansas, lived a numerous body Of
Union men, praying for a sight of the old
Gag and 8 day Of deliverauce, as none
svsr prayed save the men of heyden-
They met nightly in cellars-had their Sc
oret grips aud pssswOrds-and with all
the heroism Of martyrs bore suspicion,
taunts, threats and violence, unhinching
in their resolution never to enter the rebel
ranks alive. When Hindman occupied
Little Rock in force, tWenty-seven Of these
nan we're arrested and imprisoned on sus-
picion-their worst enemy accusing them
Of no overt act against the rebel govern
ment. One day their wives, children, pa
rents, brothers and sisters were invited by
Hindmsn's order to come and visit them.
Their dungeon doors were opened, and arm
in arm with their rejoicing families they
Fers suffered to wander under guard
about the town and in the fields. The
bright sunlight and sweet air of this un-
vonted freedom intoxicated them into Gre
dulity. They and the dear ones from
whom they had been solcng sundered were
fslioitatlng themselves with the hope Of
permanent liberty, and fancied that the
dyer Hindman had forgotten his taste foz
blood. Just at the limits Of the town the
officer in command babe the families Of
the suspects to halt-and marching those
tVenty-seven brave men out of the very
arms Of love, ranged them in an open loi
before q file Of rifemen, and there shot
all Of them to death in plain sight Of their
shrieking households
ado you know that since 1 got to Mis-
souri, l have not been able to caution Eye
Witnesses Of such things against violent
measures with the friends Of Priee?p
