TO REVIVE TIE PEACE PARTY.
Our people will recollect that two or three
OF more months ago we heazd d great deal,
nui1 that continually, Of the wonderful things
the peace men Of tie North were going to do.
Many In our midst built strong hopes Of
pence On the action Of the malcontents In
tinco1n's realm. Many eTen we're proposing
fiee use Of or Missieaippi, aud actuslly going
30 lar as 10 aek the Northwestern States to
ubaIdop New England and the Middle States,
and come with us under our pro-elaTery Com
stItut1on. But since about the 4th Of July,
slrce The capltu1ation Of Vicksburg and the
retreat from Pennsylvania, we hare heard
scarcely whisper Of peace from beyond the
Potomac. The people Of the United States
hare become dated at their SUCCESSES, aud
hnye gone crazy again On the tho sensation Of
crushing the rebellion and subjugating the
inturgent Staten
We confess that Tc hare agwdus built strony

We have always held that the only way to

greae:7rsclations from The pace men Of Gaetort
ard the explosive wrath Of the Opposition

Of thick, fast and heavy blows from the Con-
ftds rate armies, In order to give vitality, sys-
TN and organization to The peaee nun, and to
un1oose The fierce impulses Of the enthralled
and terrorized people. Mr.. Vallandlgham
caIEY DECLARED e E TIA; That al TnE succEss
OF SOUTHERN ARMS ALONE COULD

We verify believe that Il Vicksburg
