The War Democrats Practical Peace Men

How many of The so called leaders of The
War Democracy are ready 10 shoulder the
musket and enter the ranks Are these
men whose Unsuitable thirst for blood de-
mands still greater sacrifice of human
life willing 10 take the field? Do they
mean by their own pacific acts to fling ridi-
cule on their professions, or do they stay
al home that they may partake of the az.
vantages which fall TO the share OF those
who sustain The Government ia a vigorous
prosecution of the war.
Ii is about time that the real character of
these men was thoroughly understood
What right have they tc insist on The pro-
longalion of conflict in which they incur
no risk Let every Democrat, who would
furnish the Administration with Legitimate
means" for the further prosecution of this
frairicidal strife, be called upon to enlist, and
prove by his acts the sincerity of his pro.
fessions. Let every one OF these so called
leaders OF the party who insist upon insert
ing the war plank in the platform, be re-
quired to test the strength OF their convic-
lions in favor the physical force policy,
by al once donning the Federal uniform
This is the way TO prove them, and should
they shrink from the test, let Us hear no
more of the war policy, particularly when
that policy is to be carried out by tie A1-
minislraiiou over whose acts they can ex-
ercse no control. These men, while they
CALL for more blood, for a prolongation oi
this helIish strife, aet peace. Their own acts
and professions are in conflict. Theirs is
the patriotism that costs nothing. For the
Democrat whose acts are in consonance
with his professions We entertain certain
degree of respect: but these men are either
poliicl fools or political hypocriles.
The country has already had enough oi
this war cant, this bounding OF of others in
the track of blood, this insatia,e Moloch like
thirst for human sacrifices. Let all those
who claim 10 lead the Democracy, and
whose "voice is still for war;" be required
TO place their lives in the hands OF the Ad-
ministraiion as they demand others shall
do We are for peace, and so are they, i

A Scorching Letter.
Bishop Hopkins on tho Repro bteS

A few weeks ago, we published large
part pamphlet of Bishop Hopkins letter
on Slavery, as written and originally
published in January 1861. Since lis
late Republication, certain Episcopal
Clergymen of Philadelphia, with Bishop
Potter at their head published the follow
ing "Portest'
Bishop Hopkins and The EnstituliO OF
Slavery.
The subscribers deeply regret that the
fact OF the extensive circulation through
this Diocese, of letter by ''John Henry
Hopkins, Bishop of the Diocese of Yer
mont in defense of Southern slavery,
compels them to make this public protest.
1t is not their province to mix in any po-
litical canvass. But as ministers of Christ,
in the Protestant Episcopal Church. it be-
comes them to deny any completely or
sympathy with such defence.
This attempt not only to apolgize for
Slavery in the abstract, but to advocate it
as it exists in the cotton States, and in
States which sell men and women IN the
open market as their staple product, is, in
their judgment, unworthy of any servant oil
Jesus Christ, As an effort to sustain on
Bible principles, the States in rebellion
against the Government, in the wicked at
tempt to establish by force OF arms tyr
ranny under the name of a Repu bile,
whose "corner-stone" shall be the perpet-
ual bondage of the African, it challenges
their indignant reprobatiOn.
