The New York Tribune gives a sketch OF
Henry Ward Beecber's Fast day Sermon,
from which the following is an extract:
The doctrine of liberty for the common
people--an enthusiasm, fanaiicism almost
in our early history-bad gradually dccayod.
The doctrine of liberty for the common peo.

nuity to abuse It.. Slavery never could be
worked up to the pressure II was gagged for
in the law. II says you may put SO many
pounds to the inch, out. there was not an
engineer in tho South who would dare to
run the system up to what the law allows.
-Four millions of human beings were by
American Law donuded of manhood. Chill

The END OF THE WoRLD.--The followers

soon at Cincinnati, to settle up affairs and
arrange matters for tho future.

The Peace Party,

In the Journal of yesterday, we laid
before our readers what we believe will
be the platform of the Democratic party
next year. The State Sentinel confirms
our opinion, by bitterly denouncing the
Union men who voted to lay Woods pro-
posal for peace on the table. 1t says, in
thus voting, they have voted that they
don't want the Union rcstored-they
don't want equity-they don't want fra
ternity-they don't want equality-and
they don't want the Constitution; there
fore, they do desire disunion, injustice,
fraternal hate, inequality and no Consti-
tuition" 1t may not be amiss, in this
connection, to refer again to the propo
sition presented to the House of Repre-
sentatives by Fernando Wood, to see how
much justice there is in the Sentinel $
charges. We copy the resolution again,
emitting the preamble:
ResozUed, that the President be re.
quested to appoint three Commissioners
who shall be empowered to open negotia
tons with the authorities at Richmond
to the end that this bloody, destructive
and inhuman war shall cease, and the
Union be restored upon terms of equity
fraternity and equality, under the Con
stitution.
The Union members did not vote
against restoring the Union, but agains
the manner of restoring it proposed
They believed it to be impracticable anC
mischieyous. They were not willing tt

They were not willing to appoint Com
